"Really excellent and clearly written. It's most valid point, to me, was in explaining the underlying motivation behind technical analysis, which is a better understanding of market psychology and sentiment. The point is that the market is a real-time discussion about how much assets are worth, and so there's a lot of group psychology involved, and technical indicators are simply different ways to cut the price and volume data to figure out what active traders are thinking. As a fundamental analysis person (reading this book on a friend's strong recommendation), it was important for me to understand the rationale behind technicals, which I think is valid. How you use the technicals and incorporate them into your trading system (a very useful concept from the book) is another matter -- e.g. if you're a value investor, then your market entry/exit and risk management could be via different means than technicals. But its really interesting to then sit back and consider different trading styles and think about how each is really trying to address similar problems, just using different tools to do so.
Anyhow, Elder (a trained psychiatrist who presumably, as he says, trades for a living and practises psychiatry on the weekend) describes charts/candlesticks, gives a comprehensive list of well-worn technical indicators (3 grps: trend-following, oscillators, and miscellaneous), and describes his own trading system. As many Amazon reviews point out, people get a lot from reading and re-reading this book, as I am.
