 Good but not the best textbook December 4, 2008
ML (Singapore)
If you take trading seriously you should probably invest in more specialised literature than a textbook. However, it might be good to have one textbook on the shelf. One textbook is enough and I would recommend Kirkpatrick's "Technical analysis". That book is better but has its own faults too. Textbook authors cannot be strong in a subfields. Murphy's book is okay and a unique benefit (for some) is its large font size.
 Good Book November 19, 2008
U. O. Samuel
I like the layout and manner of presentation. It's simple and easy to follow. Used along with the study guide, it's a pretty good book to study technical analysis.
 Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets October 24, 2008

This is an excellent book for those who want to understand technical analysis on a basic to intermediate level of expertise. That is why I gave it 5 stars.
However, if you already have an expertise and are seeing a more technical or deeper understanding of TA, it is not here. I was frustrated to no end thinking I would expand my knowledge with this book. I was especially frustrated in the section on cycles because the author continually referenced the solutions found in another book without repeating them in this book. So I will return this book and get the books the author has referenced hoping the deeper knowledge is there!
Again, if you are starting the path of TA and are looking for a great place to start, it is with this book.
Simply the best October 19, 2008
D. Baker (London)
This is the bible of technical analysis. Very thorough & makes a difficult subject easy to grasp.
Good to read from cover to cover or just to keep as a reference guide.
Great book, recommend it to anyone interested in technical analysis October 6, 2008
Charles Brulotte (USA)
Even though it's been written 10 years ago, this book is still relevant today. I recommend it to anyone who's interested in technical analysis
