Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional, Second Edition: Strategies and Techniques for Today’s Turbulent Global Financial Markets by Constance Brown

Summary

Required text for Chartered Market Technician (CMT). Broad coverage of technical analysis techniques with unique personal perspective in using the tools in real life situations. For readers who are not proficient in technical analysis already, this book will not help them learning or mastering the techniques. Readers who are pretty good with at least 1 technical tool, however, will benefit from this book as they can relate their expertise in one tool to the other ones with the excellent pointers Ms. Brown has provided in the book.

Point and Figure Charting: The Essential Application for Forecasting and Tracking Market Prices (2007) by Thomas Dorsey

Summary

The original edition is the best book I have read in teaching a charting method clearly and scientifically. The revised edition has expanded to cover concepts outside of just point and figure charting. A lot of chart examples are given so that the readers can follow the text better in the revised edition. Personally, I prefer the original one because it is 100 pages shorter with great focus on the subject – applications of point and figure charting techniques. My statistics driven trading method is heavily influenced by this book. Essential reading for all traders.
