    5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference - well worth the investment, September 5, 2005

    This review is from: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications (New York Institute of Finance) (Hardcover)
    It is entirely possible to spend more time reading trading books than doing any actual trading. This is one of the few books that will remain on my bookshelf and I highly recommend it FOR WHAT IT IS INTENDED - an excellent reference on technical analysis (TA).

    What I was looking for was something to provide clear, concise descriptions on various technical indicators across all types - trend analysis, price patterns, candles, oscillators, etc. And Murphy not only does this well, but his work provides enough information that I do not see the need for another book on TA on my bookshelf, even though I know that other very good books are available (e.g. Pring). But this one is enough for me. It is well organized and indexed so that I can rapidly look up something while I am setting up trades and get the basic info that I need.

    One surprise was how well written the book was and how much I enjoyed reading it. I expected a dry reference book but instead found... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Technically speaking, one should buy this book, August 9, 2001

    Investing isn't easy. Investing profitably is even harder. As a result, investors are always looking for that `angle', that `edge' that will help them realize more consistent profits.

    In the past 2 decades, many on Wall Street have come to believe that technical analysis of stock charts is one of those tools. Having worked in the financial services markets since 1987, I do believe that technical analysis can be a helpful tool. And if you are looking for a definitive source of TA, then look no further.

    Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets by John Murphy covers all the basic aspects of TA: philosophy, chart construction, fundamental vs. technical analysis, trends, major technical pattern recognition, moving averages, oscillators, times cycles, computer trading systems and much more. He also covers different methods of charting, including bar, point and figure and candlestick (be aware that most of the analysis techniques he presents apply to bar charting, not PnF or...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bible of Technical Analysis., July 22, 2000
    This review is from: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications (New York Institute of Finance) (Hardcover)
    This is by far one of the best sources on Technical Analysis that one
    can be lucky enough to find. Mr. Murphy has a clear and simple way of
    conveying the subject to us.

    The book starts off with the
    Philosophy behind Technical Trading, Dow Theory, chart construction,
    then moves onto the basic concepts of Trend, and General Patterns,
    Moving Averages, Oscillators, Japanese Candlesticks, Time Cycles,
    Money Management, and eventually leads onto a Checklist.

    What I
    like about Mr. Murphy is his way of showing and proving a point. Let
    me digress here to show you what I mean: Say you had a daughter and
    wanted to show her how to figure out the area of an Isosceles
    triangle. Well, you could tell her to memorize that it is
    base*height/2. Or if you really wanted her to learn it thoroughly you
    can show her how to draw a parallel line to the height, then join the
    ends to make a nice rectangle. Then to compute the area of a... Read more
