"Now, for the first time, there's a comprehensive, objective, and clearly-written tutorial and reference for the entire technical analysis field." "Using more than 200 illustrations, the authors show ways to analyze both markets and individual issues and present complete investment systems and portfolio management plans. Readers can learn ways to use tested sentiment, momentum indicators, seasonal effects, flow of funds, and many other key techniques. The authors reveal which chart patterns and indicators have been reliable, show how to test systems, and demonstrate ways technical analysis can be used to mitigate risk."--Jacket.
