How Technical Analysis Works New York Institute of Finance Bruce Kamich 9781626543485 Books Reviews

• This is very basic and if you are starting out, it is good intro to TA. However, you won't learn subtle play of these indicators and their limitations in helping you do real trading that is profitable. My advise for neophytes is to start with Steve Nison's "Japanese Candlestick Charting". Grasp the psychological madhouse that markets are and learn to decipher emotions which are controlling the market participants. There is enough of Western TA in that book to give you a clue as to what is essential to learn and what is mostly mathematical wizardry which leaves you more confused and too paralyzed to act. Develop your system by trial and error and do a lot of chart reading - a lot. the history of movement of the stock prices is there for you free of charge to study. Study markets in bull and bear phases, strongly trending and going-nowhere phases, and any old time frame and most unusual time periods in history (try 1987 or 2005). Learn your own psychological make up and your limitations, how much pain can you endure, how greedy you are and of course, how fragile. Mathematically derived indicators can do only so much; people are not mathematical. People are emotional creatures. No mathematician can replace a psychiatrist to evaluate and treat a schizophrenic patient and market players are if nothing else, definitely schizophrenic, including yourself. Learn smart or you will be chewed up and spit out by the markets.
• Am very lucky to take Prof.Kamich's course in person. Love books that can question my existing thinking and push me to grow. The book is very concise and informative.
  
  Had to buy an used copy but came brand new except a 2$ pricetag from Goodwill. What a shame that the previous owners didn't recognize the value of this book.
• This is a very good, relatively concise book on technical analysis. It doesn't go into near the details at Murphy's classic, but it does a good job of explaining the basics. I would recommend this book as a refresher or as a first book on TA. I found the sections on oscillators, stochastics, and RSI particularly strong. I found this book to be very practical in that it talks throughout about using TA to become a better investor/trader, in particular with regards to risk management. The book seems to have a stock market bias as most of the examples are primarily from the stock market. Many of the graphs in the book are a bit blurry, which was a bit of a distraction, but still useful.
• This book is worth the price and you'll make it back many times over by using the information in your portfolio.
  The book is well written and easy to skip to the parts that interest you at that time.
  I recommend reading the entire book and then going back to review and really paying attention to the details, which can increase understanding and your portfolio performance.
  I use this as a follow-up to Stan Weinstein's "How to Profit in Bull and Bear Markets" and "Stikky Stock Charts".
  Good investing!
• Bruce Kamich offers a very pleasing way of writing and explaining things. This book is indeed a must for those who are starting to learn Technical analysis. The charts presented in the book are also clear and easy to read, details of the chart are very visible. unlike most of the Tech Analysis books/trading books ive read (for example explosive stock trading strategies) wherein the charts presented are blurry, this book is different, a very well edited book. The editing of this book is far superior compared to Wiley trading books,
• I would recommend this book as an introduction to TA. The author did a nice job of explaining many of the most relevant oscillators and indicators. He further elaborated on the ideal situational pairings for each. Overall, I really liked this book. The only negative in my opinion is that better charts could have been used to illustrate the points explained. For a book on analysis, I would have expected a better selection and better quality of charts. If you're looking for a better understanding of TA, this book would be an excellent primer and a great place to start.
• I really liked the book.
• I finally read this book 5 years after buying it. It is a good book for a beginner like me. This is because it has a lot of information but is concise and short. Some books are so long that you struggle to finish reading and could be filled with filler materials but not this. My only issue with this book is the charts. At times, you can hardly relate the text to the chart because of a lack of indicators on the chart. Great book nevertheless.
