About the Author
Steven B. Achelis is the co-founder and president of Equis International, one of the world’s leading providers of investment analysis software and services. He is an outstanding investment analysis expert who has written many articles on stock market investing. He also appears frequently on national radio and television networks such as CBS and CNBC.
Steven B. Achelis is also a gifted programmer who has created many pieces of investment analysis software, including MetaStock – the most widely known technical analysis software. He founded Equis International in 1982, when he realized that anyone with a personal computer could use calculation and charting tools to analyze their own investments. That insight gave rise to Equis and MetaStock.
What Is in Technical Analysis from A to Z
Technical Analysis from A to Z is divided into 2 main parts:
Part 1: An Introduction to Technical Analysis
This part is mainly suited to investors who are new to technical analysis. The author sets out the basic concepts and terminology of technical analysis in great detail. This is essential foundational knowledge that new investors must not skip.
Part 2: Reference
In this part, Achelis presents technical indicators and line studies as concisely as possible. It is mainly aimed at experts, professionals and investors who specialize in technical analysis. It covers more than 105 indicators and analytical tools, from Absolute Breadth to Zig Zag. Each tool comes with an overview, an explanation of how to use it and illustrated examples, and each indicator also includes clear, step-by-step calculation instructions. Most of the techniques covered can be applied to any type of security, such as bonds, stocks, futures, fund units and indexes.
Technical Analysis from A to Z has 2 editions. Compared with the first, the second edition adds many more illustrations showing the analytical tools in greater detail, along with more indicators and new calculation formulas.
Our Thoughts on the Book
Technical Analysis from A to Z is a truly wonderful book and a valuable reference that describes in detail hundreds of different technical indicators, along with how they are used and calculated in the stock market.
John J. Murphy – the American market analyst regarded as the father of intermarket technical analysis – once said: “Investors badly need a complete, concise reference on the tools of technical analysis. Achelis’s ‘Technical Analysis from A to Z’ fully meets that need for both newcomers and experienced investors.”
Technical analysis is the most widely used method of analysis in financial markets, especially the stock and foreign exchange markets. Technical Analysis from A to Z will give you a fuller, more comprehensive view of the tools and of technical analysis as a system.
This is one of those special books you should not miss; it will help you improve your trading performance. Its clear, visual style means you won’t need much time to read and understand it in detail.
