Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, 8th Edition, is a critical reference for investors--especially in today's tumultuous markets. This seminal book--the first to produce a methodology for interpreting and profiting from the predictable behavior of investors and markets--revolutionized technical investment approaches and continues to show traders and investors how to make money regardless of what the market is doing.

Now, with the addition of noted technical analysis authority W. H. Charles Bassetti (editor)--as well as charts and graphs that pertain to today's market environment and major stocks--this completely updated and revised edition confirms the wisdom of the original work for today's markets. Technical traders and chartists will turn to it for:

* Information on utilizing electronic markets, the Internet, wireless communications, and new exchanges, plus current ideas on portfolio management and risk management
* Chapters on futures and derivatives charting and trading
* Expanded treatment of "runaway" markets--to help put the recent Internet stock craze in perspective

"Chart formations," states Charles Bassetti in the preface, "are the language of the market." Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, 8th Edition, translates that language for a new generation of technical traders and investors.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to understand the basic price action/chart
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2004
Verified Purchase
This is a technical analysis book, focus on price pattern. If you are looking for RSI, MACD, etc, look else where. This book covers topics such as Symmetric Triangle, Gaps, Resist/support, etc. They are very detailed and I definitely learn a lot from this book.

If you want to buy this book, my advice is to buy an earlier edition (5th). The additional chatpers written by Bassetti simply doesn't match the quality of Edwards and Magee. For example, he uses internet stocks, such as Amazon or Cisco, to illustrate his point of dramatic/speculative crash. However, he uses charts which are unadjusted for split. If Amazon split 3-1, then there will be a big gap. The gap doesn't mean anything technically. He devotes an entire chatper to discuss false gaps like that! Very disturbing and unintelligent.

The original writers aer superb though. I strongly recommand this book for people who wants to learn the price pattern/action. If John Murphy's book is like an encyclopedia of Technical Analysis, then this book focus mainly on the subject of price pattern.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE most brilliant technical analysis system ever invented
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2012

I bought this book thinking I would actually read it.

More accurately I will "read at" it.

The forward alone, and all the fascinating comments by the various editors since Magee were, themselves worth reading, and does serve as a model for all revisions ever done to some classic and vital literary masterpiece.

These comments by all those who did "revisions" is the truth behind the power of the original work.

I will continue to read at this book.

The legendary financial adviser and newsletter writer Harry Schultz told me to get this book as the "bible" of technical chart analysis and so I did. Clearly he was right.

I did without this book for many years. Now I wonder how I managed and how much easier things would have been. Timing decisions are much easier when you can identify what is taking place and have a firm idea of the trends and signals of the markets. This is the Bible of Technical Analysis.

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2006
In my opinion, this is one of a handful of books that any good student or practitioner of technical analysis has in their library. It's not an easy read but making money in the market isn't easy either.

The Reader Without A Name
4.0 out of 5 stars Editor W.H.C. Bassetti butchers this classic
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2006
If you are interested in reading Edwards and Magee's classic book Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, I strongly encourage you to purchase a copy of an older edition which was not edited by W.H.C. Bassetti.

Bassetti's main objective in his edits is to try to impress the reader with how intelligent he is - in particular how large his vocabulary is and how clever he can be in his writing. Unfortunately I did not buy this book to find out how intelligent, clever, and articulate the editor is. I bought this book to learn classic chart patterns as taught by Edwards and Magee. Bassetti's annoying and low value edits detract from this great work. Bassetti has truly mastered the art of saying in six sentences with fancy words and pointless historical references what could much more easily and effectively be said in one sentence with regular words. The contrast between Edwards and Magee's to the point writing style and Bassetti's grandiose rhetoric is remarkable.

I hope the publisher reads this review and finds a better editor for the next edition. You will see other people making similar comments below. Also notice below that Bassetti reviews his own book and gives it five stars. Hmmm, an editor reviewing his own book - must be very objective.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. And if you are an editor of a classic, don't butcher it in an attempt to boost your own low self esteem.
