Great book, just takes a lot of time to read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Great book. I got it thinking it'd relate mostly to candle charts. But it covers everything. The book is pretty confusing at first and takes awhile to get used to the author's writing style. He uses words that college business students should understand. It'll take you forever to read, if you want to learn what it has to offer, but it's well worth it. Just google the topics after reviewing to get a full understanding of what Pring offers. Well worth the $10 used price (got lucky!.

I have nothing to say more than what I said in the title , this book is essential for learning technical analysis , no wonder why it's included in most of the reading lists of the technical analysis certificates .
Excellent choice for the serious TA student!

I found the book (Technical Analysis Explained) to be extremely helpful in my study of this fascinating subject. I can understand why Technical Analysis Explained is one of two books on the recommended reading list for the Certified Market Technicians Course. Pring has the knack of making what could be a dull subject interesting. This is the kind of detailed background needed to properly watch both the market and specific stocks. The charting techniques presented give the investor and trader far greater insight into future probable price trends and will significantly increase their rate of return.
MACD
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is by far the best book that I have read on Technical Analysis. My only concern is Pring's misdefinition of MACD. Pring defines MACD as an oscillator when in reality it is a trend-following indicator. He defines MACD as dividing the 12 day EMA by the 26 day EMA, when in reality MACD is defined as subtracting the 26 day EMA from the 13 day EMA.
