"One way to get started in technical analysis is to read a good book on the subject. One of my favorites is Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications by John J. Murphy. It's an easy read." Ralph J.

Don't Get Into Day-Trading Without ItReviewed by Brian Pollins, 2010-02-09
This is the single best Introduction and Reference to Technical Analysis that I know. No other book I have seen gives such a thorough description of basic concepts, indicators and trading methods. The rookie can use it as an introduction to the field, since it is well-organized and well-written. The veteran can us it as a Reference. I certainly do. And Murphy adds further value by adding his own experiences and opinions from time to time. This book is on the small shelf I keep next to my trading desk, always in easy reach. When I need my memory refreshed as to how a particular indicator is calculated, or what RSI will tell me that MACD won't, Murphy is on hand to sort it out for me.
A classic on technical analysisReviewed by Chris Haynes, 2010-01-02
I was looking for a book that would give me a solid foundation in technical analysis and after having read it I now understand why it is a classic. Murphy explains in depth charting, trends, patterns, and indicators. This is to be expected in a tome on technical analysis but what set this book apart for me were the sections on money management, trading tactics, and intermarket relationships.
