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

All I can say is wow, using the information I learned in this book lead me to take a short position in Heating Oil a few weeks ago and it worked beautifully. I still have much to learn particually about developing a trading system / style of my own. This book has given the confidence and a point in the right direction. Next up is statistical probabilty study.

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.

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.
