Technical Analysis from A to Z

The Technical Indicators

Technical Analysis from A to Z explains 140 technical indicators to help you become a better investor. The book provides insights into each of the indicators complete with sample charts. Almost all of the indicators also include step-by-step instructions and tables of sample data to show how they are calculated.

The principles behind technical analysis (e.g., supply-and-demand, fear-and-greed, etc) are timeless and could be applied in the days of bartering just as they can be applied in the era of high-speed internet trading.
