Revised and expanded for the demands of today's financial world, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in tracking and analyzing market behavior. "One way to get started in technical analysis is to read a good book on the subject.

 Murphy, Pro and Con July 17, 2008
It is a text book, not a trader's manual. On the upside it provides excellent coverage of charts, trends, reversal patterns, continuation patterns and moving averages. It's chapter on Candlesticks is a small gem of information. The coverage of indicators was skimpy, but this gap can be filled with good internet sources.
On the downside, it was often unclear as to whether his writing applied to individual stocks or to stock markets only. The chapter on point and figure was incomprehensible. Money management was skimpy - again go to the Net.

The Good: May be worth something for a beginner who wants to know what Technical Analysis is about.
The Bad: No in depth view of anything.
My Advice: Go to the library before buying. In one or two hours you would have read all (if anything) that is worth in this self called "Bible". No need to buy.
 From the Stock Traders Headquarters library May 3, 2008
A must read. Technical Analysis is the heart and sole of my trading style, it doesn't always work but it sure works enough of the time to make very profitable trades. If you trade on T/A, this book is a must.

"The" Book on Technical Analysis April 26, 2008

After reading a number of books on the subject, the presentation of information in this book appears to be the most comprehensive and well explained. This is the one technical analysis 'encyclopedia' to refer to. (One negative comment - I'll have to agree with another reviewer that the creaky binding does not suit the high quality of the book's contents.)
With both Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street: The Time-Tested Strategy for Successful Investing, Ninth Edition and John J. Murphy's Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications (New York Institute of Finance), I figure I've got a good balance in my reading 'portfolio'. These are two excellent books from each side of the investing coin.
