Technical analysis-the reading of price and volume charts-is the preferred method of analysis for traders of all time frames. Technical analysis allows investors to view a stock's past performance, as well as present and future patterns, resulting in a vastly improved sense of a stock's direction. Such knowledge also frees investors from dependence on professional money managers and brokerage firms-not to mention their fees. In this book, seasoned investment educator and author Mark Larson explains advanced technical analysis topics in an accessible manner, and covers how to apply them in actual trading for both bullish and bearish market conditions.

Utilizing charting patterns and indicators dramatically increases your ability to profit from the market by allowing you to make informed choices and decisions on such matters as timing, diversification, when to hold long-term-and when to cash out-particularly important in today's volatile climate.

Uniting theory with practice, Larson uses examples from TC2000(r), the most widely distributed charting software package in the industry, to teach you the basics of understanding and using indicators. The ideal introduction to technical analysis, this book includes a CD-ROM video and a free month of TC2000(r).com.

Technical Charting for Profits also provides you with an indispensable overview of the history of the stock market, plus helpful quizzes at the end of each chapter. Now you can take advantage of the great changes made by technology-by learning how to utilize them.
