Technical Analysis for Beginners: Take $1K to $10K Using Charting and Stock Trends of the Financial Markets with Zero Trading Experience Required

I found this book a really useful way to understand and get started in TA. An honest and realistic way to start a trading or investment journey.

This is a great book for beginners it’s easy to understand plus the bonus content give you loads of information if you are thinking of starting trading/investing I would definitely recommend this book

Some great advice about the pitfalls of investing and the danger of emotional behaviour, lack of discipline and hoping to get rich quick. Investing is a long term strategy with money that you do not need and which you hope will return more than the money in a bank, the value of which is eroded by inflation. Perhaps this is a timely tome. There are useful end of chapter quizzes and with Guy Spier's The Education of a Value Investor: My Transformative Quest for Wealth, Wisdom, and Enlightenment, this book will provide a good platform for an investor. Penn's book is interesting and helps to demystifying technical analysis. With algorithms charting the trajectory of the stock market, it might be a little ambitious to suggest you can move from 1k to 10k after reading this as movements are picked up by large investors who make such great progress, though they do not reveal their losses when they highlight their gains, but I have no doubt that Penn's guide to technical analysis could make you much more money if you take his advice. His explanations clarify the obfuscation and obscurity of the financial markets and give you plenty of sound advice. If you intend to go into the quagmire of investing, or are already 'playing' the stock market, I would say this was an essential tool to aid success. It will help you to understand analysis more clearly and that has to be vital if you are investing money, which after all you worked hard to get and want to work harder for you.

Well written and thorough look at the basics of TA and trading. As someone who has been in crypto for a couple of years now, I've been slowly learning the ropes as I've gone. This book has really helped to consolidate my prior knowledge and push it on a step or two. Explanations are clear throughout with lots of good analogies to help understand the core concept. Would hugely recommend.

I've just started reading this book but already its providing lots of value to my road to learning and practicing technical analysis trading. Written in a way that's interesting and simplified for a beginner, the book also provides useful video links bringing concepts and frameworks to life. Early days for me but already it seems to be proving its worth!

This is an excellent book about learning how to sucessfully trade as a beginner, and is also useful for the more experienced traders, owing to the detailed insights and references provided. From the outset, there is an definite essence of authenticity that has gone into the composition of the content, in terms of its detailed analysis, examples, bonuses and colourful illustrations. My favourite part of the book is being able to resonate with the author following their highlights and mishaps. For a beginner like myself, it was a unexpected surprise documenting the humor, including the research aspects. Highly recommended.

This is a good book and very easy to read. There are , of course, a multitude of books on this subject so it is hard to find something new or innovative but the book has a friendly feeling and will be welcomed by people who want to learn some of the rudiments of trading. My only criticism is the title. I do not regard it as being for beginners as I think the stages of learning are not given sufficient time to be fully absorbed and there is a lack of practice time to really embed the knowledge that is necessary for success. This is the same with most literature about technical analysis so it is a common defect. There are some ways in which I think the book could be improved but that is only my opinion and hey! what do I know about writing. At least it is concise and reader friendly so, on the whole, I was happy with the purchase.

I have enjoyed reading this. The author has an easy to get on with writing style and makes it simple to understand indicators and signals. I'm on my second reading of the book which I highly advice before getting started to solidify information learnt.
