"It has taken me over 3 years to finally wade through this book. I made several stabs at it, but found it so incredibly tedious that I would put it down for weeks on end. As someone who trades, I should have gobbled this up, but it just did not grab me one iota.
The charts in the book are dotted all over the place, often pages away from the text referring to them. The print quality is really poor and the charts are hard to read. This book covers a few technical analysis basics, but it most definitely will not help you make any money trading.
It's worth noting that a large number of trading books focus on trading futures. That is very much the case with this book.
Schwager's Market Wizards books are far more readable. This seemed like one long slog."
"This book provides a lot of information that seems to be more for someone who has read some previous TA texts of has previous knowledge of the subject matter. It doesn't help that a lot of the charts that he describes are on different pages to the descriptions and requires constant flipping back and forth.
Overall I think that Schwager has a lot of very good infomration to present, but falls down slightly on how he goes about it. There is one very good chapter in the book about real-life trading and he discusses his own trades and presents staggered charts to the reader with analysis on what actually happened after he entered the position. If only the rest of the book was up to this standard it would receive 5 stars."
