How Technical Analysis Works by Bruce M Kamich

How Technical Analysis Works by Bruce M Kamich

Since the early 1960s, the number of different investment instruments has multiplied. Currencies now float, and interest rates can fluctuate sharply. Money moves around the globe easily and around the clock. We don't wait for chart books to come in the mail; we don't even have the patience to download a file from the Internet. Thousands of people are using technical analysis in some form, but most likely without a good framework in the basics, without a true understanding of what they are doing.

How Technical Analysis Works offers a tested approach to technical analysis. The book is organized in an order that builds comprehension and skills in a logical way to make it easy to understand the subject. It provides investors, traders, and students with a good first book on technical analysis prepared for the twenty-first century.

Regardless of your level of experience and investment knowledge, this is a book you will keep and refer to for years to come. How Technical Analysis Works is the one book that tells you what is important, the book that shows you how technical analysis can be a timing tool, a selection tool, and, most important, a risk management tool.
