BAR BY BAR -- Al Brooks

The book was clearly never properly edited (or maybe never edited at all) and it shows throughout. This presentation forces the reader to spend three or four times as many hours with the information than is reasonable.

That said, there is valuable information.

Has anyone noticed how often the bars are misnumbered in Brooks' book? It really gets annoying.

Yes. The numbers sometimes are found in between two bars.

Some charts are practically unintelligible.
 
Just purchased Technical Analysis of Stock Trends by Edwards and Magee at abebooks.com....$16.95 -- used but still a nice price.

I am also considering Suri Duddella's Trading Chart Patterns Like The Pros. The reviews seem great and they stress that he is specific as to entries and exists and clearly shows you each pattern.

Will I be just duplicating the info I get from Edwards & Magee or does this book bring something more or different to the table.

Thanks
 
suri's book = more than magee/edwards. magee/edwards was groundbreaking...for its time. and TA had to be explained from the ground up.

many more setups are included because suri basically shows the setup, with a brief explanation.
 
Thanks guys. I think I will by the book. The good ones pay more than for themselves in a single trade.

I am just trying to avoid spending on crap.

Many thanks for the heads up. My eyes are strained from dealing with the book's charts

Yep, the downloadable enlarged charts are a positive development, provided one doesn't mind reading at the computer desk :)
 
Thanks for Brooks' blog info. Overall, I think the book has a lot of value. As someone else mentioned, his "barbed wire" discussions alond might be worth the price. Additionally, I think the H1 and H2 patterns are also worth studying.
