Great read.

The book helped me with many little things I was completely unaware of as a trader!

Very good!

Lots of good information in this book! It had some parts that I didn’t need but overall I’d highly recommend.

An excellent Book

Don't be fooled be the title, This book is a well written and has a depth of knowledge for both the beginner and experienced analyst . Very insightful and easy to understand.

Great book

This book is a fraction on the cost of most Technical analysis books, and explain everything 90% better. I find myself coming back to this book as a reference

Great book but missing diagrams

I wish the audio book included some visual diagrams. Other than that the book itself was great for anyone who wants to trade stocks with technical analysis. It teaches you pretty much everything you need to know.

pictures

It would've been nice to see some of the examples they talked about in the book

Very Detailed

This book does a great job of giving you a basic to intermediate education in technical analysis. Barbara goes into detail about The different types of charts and how to read them, how to interpret them, and how to use 360° analysis to fill out the entire situation. She talks about indicators and what they could mean— but not always— and some contraindications to look out for. I love that she says nothing works all the time, so you’re gonna have to learn how to use these basic building blocks of knowledge and apply them to your own situation. She gives you the tools to create your homegrown system for trading.

It was pretty frustrating that the narrator would often suddenly lower her voice volume dramatically. There were many moments where I had to rewind and turn it up to understand what she said. Other than that, the narrator’s performance kept me listening until I finished the book in less than three days.

Informative, realistic, academic

Best technical indicator book so far, suited me as a newbie to the field. No promises, no fantasies, just well researched information.

Buy the actual book

This is a great book to learn technical analysis; however, there is a lot that is missed by listening rather than reading. You need to see the charts, candlesticks and images discussed. If I recall correctly, they do give a way to download the information at the beginning of the book but I could never get the link to work.

This book has good information but it's monotone.

The book has good information. Some concepts in the book are vital to learn technical analysis.
