The Bloomberg Financial Series Visual Guide to Chart Patterns provides step-by-step instructions on using technical chart patterns to spot potential price movement and improve trading returns.
Internationally known author Thomas Bulkowski is a leading expert on chart patterns and a successful investor with thirty years of experience trading stocks. In this easy-to-use guide he shows you how to recognize chart patterns, understand why they behave as they do, and learn what it means when you see one. Most importantly, he tells you how to identify basic buy and sell signals that the different types of patterns reveal.
Light in tone, the book is aimed specifically at the investor or trader already experienced in the stock market, but not necessarily familiar with chart patterns. Trading chart patterns is easy, but making money using them is not. With the knowledge in this book, you'll learn to see not just squiggles on price charts, but footprints of the smart money.
The Bloomberg Financial Series Visual Guides cover today's most relevant finance and trading topics in a comprehensive, yet easy-to-follow style. The content is presented in the most visual manner thus bringing to life key concepts for finance professionals and truly lives up to the series name by examining concepts in a highly visual way—all charts are in color and presented in a large format for ease of use. Other strong visual attributes include consistent elements that function as additional learning aids for the reader, such as: Key Points, Definitions, Step-by-Step, Do It Yourself, and Bloomberg Financial Series Visual Guide functionality.
And for e-reader users, the Bloomberg Financial Series Visual Guides are available as enhanced e-books offering special features, like a Test Yourself section where you can test your newly honed knowledge and skills. The enhanced e-book version of this edition includes video tutorials and special pop-up features. They can be purchased wherever e-books are sold.
Good read for novice and experienced traders. Excellent quality charts with good notation. Bulkowski describes the chart pattern, how to confirm breakouts, and buy/sell signals. Bulkowski also has pointers to explanatory videos on his web site to reinforce the messages in the chart book. A good review and great introduction to chart patterns.
This book has useful information in it, as well as quite a few plugs for his other books and website. The issue I have with this book is the layout, for some reason they chose to publish the book 7" tall and 10" in width, probably to increase the amount of pages in the book. On each page the top 1" is used to display the page number, title of the book and chapter, after the chart and chart label this only leaves 1 1/2" on the bottom for text on each page. Often times I am reading about a chart that is four pages away from the actual text with a completely unrelated chart on the page I am actually reading, flipping back an forth with each sentence. I have been purchasing books online for years and have never posted a review, this book has me so frustrated with the layout that I felt it was necessary to warn people.
I own most of Thomas Bulkowski's books, "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" and "Encyclopedia of Candlestick Patterns". As a day trader and chartist (Twitter: @peterghostine), I simply cannot survive without these two indispensable references on my desk. I'm a seasoned Elliott Wave Theory (EWT) practitioner who thouroughly studied and have applied R.N. Elliott's work for years, as well as Ian Copsey's more robust form of EWT, knowm as Harmonic Elliott Wave (HEW). I can tell you without hesitation that if you wish to become a successful trader, toss EWT aside and study the chart patterns presented in Thomas Bulkoski's books. In addition, all of the author's books are written to keep you entertained while you absorb the invaluable material. He's an excellent writer, trader, and investor.
This book is a valuable Tool for trading and/or investing...
This is simple to read and understand and a most valuable tool
for investing in the stock market these days! You will not only
read this book once but you will refer to it as an everyday
"guide"...
I got this book a couple of weeks ago and love it. If you need simple and easy to understand information on chart patterns I recommend starting with this book. It's not overloaded with confusing technical jargon. The author writes in such a way that I almost feel like I'm taking a class and the humor sprinkled in here and there is a nice touch. I first stumbled on Thomas Bulkowski's work 3 years ago after reading and searching everything I could find (not to mention spending hundreds of dollars on books and stock picking systems) and I can honestly say this system of stock picking works far better for me than anything I have tried. I have read and recommend all of his books.
