Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns (Wiley Trading)

The author explains the book layout to get the most out of it. Results Snapshots, Tour the pattern, identification Guidelines, Failures, Statistics + more. Encyclopedia is appropriate bc it’s massive. It’s a reference manual but you could read front to back if you are rainman. My Favorite Features: identification guidelines, performance rank, average rise, trading tactics. This is next level chart pattern recognition with the statistical data to back it up. If you are on the internet reading articles or on YouTube learning about charting(been there)…this will give you PhD level information.

If you are intermediate to advanced and want to expand you base this is definitely a book to add to the collection. The content is heavy so a new technician may find it intense to carryon. This is definitely a reference book to help identify potential. If you want a thorough understanding with statical verification this is a must have.

For many years, this large volume reference book has been a gold standard for chart pattern analyses. As I am studying and preparing for the qualifying examination by the Certified Market Technician (CMT) association, I discovered that the official syllabus also makes frequent references to this book - a sign that this book is held in very high regard by the technical analysts community. This book has a long history. For over 20 years, the author has collected and expanded his data base to support the writing of this book. Therefore, this updated third edition has incorporated a significant amount of new data. The result is a monumental piece of research work, with over two decades of data analyses curated by a single author. The scope and the depth of the author's work is extensive, unparalleled by any other books in the technical analysis literature. The book is better suited for serious professional traders. If you are a beginner trader who like learning to trade by watching YouTube or reading posts in social media, this book is NOT for you. The book content is huge, making reading the entire book not an easy task (you are likely to invest weeks to months of your time to complete reading the book) To the author's credit, he has tried his best to make it easier for you, by using engaging and entertaining writing (he provides numerous trading examples in the book; also including some occasional light-hearted jokes to break the monotony among numerous tables and figures). Overall, this book is a must-have for the reference library of technical analysts. The high price tag is relative - one will consider it a bargain given its high-value information. In fact, the author claims "my books always sell", which is not surprisingly given the book's unmatched quality and its superior content. Therefore, I do not think the high price tag will deter its intended audience (e.g. serious traders and professional analysts). Like any single-authored book, some may argue that it has the expected limitation of personal bias (since it is written by only one person). In some ways, it is a strength than a disadvantage since the methodology used by the author is kept consistent across the three editions of this book (this is difficult to achieve in a multi-authored book). This new edition will no doubt consolidate its reputation as a classic text in the technical analyst community.

I’m a newer trader, and this basically serves a textbook for me, (vs something you’d read while having a coffee for example. ) It is a detailed resource with clear thorough explanations of countless scenarios and patterns . Well worth it.

Ótima leitura ! Alta qualidade.

Awsome book

Best comprehensive book on charting available out there. Every chart pattern is identified and carefully explain in detail by the author. Author has given it a refreshed look and updated its content. It sits proudly next to my trading screens for quick referencing. The book, however, does not contain indicators which is a shame but nevertheless, its worth every cent.
