    I am looking for a publiion that concentrates on Advanced Technical Analysis with illuions from Forex charts. A publiion that further explains (i.e. beyond introductory concepts) how to deal with intraday charts, chart patterns in Forex market, Elliott Wave and Fibonacci - retracement, Fan, growth - and Time cycles in Forex market, the program of Dow theory in Forex, the interpretation of quantitative analysis instruments (i.e. indiors) for FX trading, use of candlestick charts, use of Gann techniques and prefarably mechanical trading.

    So far, I have not managed to find any. BTW, I am seeking a REAL book, printed by a REAL publisher not one of those scam eBooks.

    Here is the Publiion. I refer to it frequently.
    Dependent on the table of contents it seems to be very useful. Does it clarify technical analysis topics ?

    It is a good publiion, on TA... however...



    I think any publiion, which claims to provide TA options specifically for a given market is already misleading. TA theories must work in any market, under any conditions otherwise its fundamental premise is faulty. The way, of course, you employ these theories will vary greatly depending on your own character (i.e. trading fashion ), experience, and so forth etc... A while ago I was searching for the same, once I came to understand, that program of TA to a particular market or timeframe really becomes a methodology, numerous examples of which can be found on this forum. I am sure you've seen the exact same method applied by a few with fantastic success, but others fail and continue on to additional solutions/systems/methods.



    I discovered that John Murphy's Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets is a complete reference, reads simpler and has plenty of very applicable TA info.

    This was the 1st book I read Forex (or trading interval ). I was too new to get much from it and it is on my list to re-read. IF I recall correctly the TA components weren't real indepth because he covers a lot of ground. Proceed to the library they will most likely have a copy. Read it and when it is what u are searching for you can buy it.

    I read an invitation regularly to John Murphy's Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets, It is not Forex specific - but it one heck of a book and I recommend it to TA. I used to believe that the publiion had to be FOREX unique but I have found that the data applies to FOREX in addition to Stocks and Futures.

    No wonder John Murphy is among the best TA experts... I've nearly everyone of his novels. But, I would need to disagree with you. I believe this would give what was asked. Luca's book is not exclusive It is inclusive of Futures, Currencies, Position market, Corporate Trading, Central banks, Currency Options, and covers fundementals. Murphy is a TA analyist.

    The reach of the original petition, in my opinion Murphy does not cover...

    They're all excellent books, even though they are somewhat redundant with each other.

    The ideal choice might be several books to cover a broad range.

    See, when I first read Murphy's publiion and then came across Luca's, my novice expectation was that I will find something revolutionary that's applicable specifically to FX. Of course now I know that there is no real (not scam) TA publiion that will offer such advice. Here is the trap, which I wanted the poster to prevent.

    Either one is a great book on TA... and I agree that only one book might not even be sufficient.

    I've already read John Murphy's publiion. It is a must-read. However, it doesn't cover Forex-specific charts. I also believe that TA isn't particular to a market, but using a book that shows you a few examples of a particular market would be great! It can help you to have a better knowledge of a good approach to this market.
