Technical Analysis

[Lupo Lupus]

 

On the risk of becoming a pariah in the forum: can somebody recommend a good book on technical analysis? (lets say I need it for a good "friend" and not for myself!)

 

Preferrably one that does not just lay-out the strategies but also explains the rationales behind them (eg behavioural foundations or even value foundations).

 

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Technical stuff is required reading in the CFA material.

I thought the specific chapter in level I did the job.

 

Otherwise, for flavor, there is also:

Disclosure: not using any of this but I seem to remember that there can be hope after despondency.

I still always keep my eye out for the double loop de loop as a strong signal to stop looking at stocks, turn off my computer, and go to bed.

And does the signal work?

Lol when you encounter the double loop de loop it's time to put down the scotch.  ;D

Lol when you encounter the double loop de loop it's time to pour another class of the scotch.  ;D

Fixed that.

I don't remember any technical analysis in level 1

"I don't remember any technical analysis in level 1."

 

When I did it, I think it was near the end of the "quantitative" section.

That's also where I learned about regression.

I blame the scotch, not the wiggles. The wiggles never lie.

Take a look at books by John Murphy.  I can't vouch for how good it is/isn't since I have never been a TA guy but traders I was around always read his books.
