International Encyclopedia of Technical AnalysisInvestors are firmly entrenched in two camps: those who believe that economic and financial fundamentals are the keys to investment success, and those who prefer some form or other of technical analysis. To serve those who use technical analysis, the authors have written a practical, useful, and comprehensive guide to all the major and minor technical analysis systems used by today's investors and financial professionals. In this unique reference book, technical analysis systems are discussed in depth, with detailed attention to the pros and cons of each. In addition, the Encyclopedia offers a mini-dictionary of the terms, concepts, and market issues that are part of the discipline of technical analysis. |
