The book opens with an introductory survey of the field. Experienced technicians may wish to skip to the heart of the text, a comprehensive digest of 102 indicators and trading methods. Each section offers background commentary on the indicator as well as a discussion of its proper use, often with concrete buy and sell signals.
Detailed charts present clear illustrations, and formulas are provided for most indicators.
Spreadsheet examples walk us through the indicator mechanics. Much of the material is adapted from the MetaStock manual. From its earliest editions, this document has evolved into an authoritative encyclopedia of market timing. You do not have to be a MetaStock user to gain rich insights from this portion of the text. But the book goes well beyond the manual to examine virtually every dimension of contemporary technical analysis.
