It's cheaper in the bookshop: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets. And knowing that a small percentage of the sale will help to support ASF instead of a large bookshop chain will give you a warm, fuzzy feeling too.

It's cheaper in the bookshop: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets

That is a good price, I saw it in Borders in Brisbane last weekend for much more. Its a classic, essential text for anyone interested in charting/TA. Its been updated recently from the edition I bought 12-15 years ago.

If you like Murphy, you may like to draw some charts by hand from AFR or The Australian prices.

I found him to be a purist on price and volume. I did it as part of an ATAA course through SIA and found it very interesting, to plot the market moves in longhand on graph paper.

It gives you a totally new perspective on charts as we see them today, downloadable.

Thanks, but didn't answer my question.

What is the difference between a technician and a chartist?

Re: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets. Great book for any new trader

Thanks, but didn't answer my question.

What is the difference between a technician and a chartist?

Charlie Chan jumps off a bicycle and says to a Professor of Philosophy, what am I an acrobat or a clown.

Who cares what the Professor thinks. Certaintly not CC. He cycles off.

Any difference is not material.

Perhaps a technician uses subsets of price/volume/time more than a chartist. A chartist by defintion looks at charts, price and volume , although indicators may place him or her into a technician role !!.

Profit is all however.

Charlie Chan always manages to remount his bicycle and cycle off no matter what the circumstances.

He is a chartist.!!

Thanks, but didn't answer my question.

What is the difference between a technician and a chartist?

To quote from the book:

"All Chartists are Technicians, but not all Technicians are Chartists"

He is basically saying in a long winded section about nothing, that Chartists draw and read Charts but Technicians also use statistical, quantitative analyst and may not use charts -- also goes on how they develop systems etc.

Much ado about nothing really --- just filler material.

Good overall book -- but it is US based.
Edward's is the bible though.

Sounds like an interesting seminar, but maybe you are being a bit too honest.

Remember, you have to charge at least $5,000 or everyone will think it's too cheap and you will have a poor attendance.

Wayne,

Make sure your book has a chapter titled: "Putting it all together"
