I am looking for a book that focuses on Advanced Technical Analysis with examples from Forex charts. A book 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, expansion - and Time cycles in Forex market, the application of Dow theory in Forex, the interpretation of quantitative analysis tools (i.e. indicators) for FX trading, use of candlestick charts, use of Gann techniques and prefarably mechanical trading.

So far, I've not managed to find any. BTW, I am looking for a REAL book, published by a REAL publisher not one of those scam eBooks.

Based on the table of contents it looks to be very useful. Does it explain technical analysis topics in detail?

It is a good book, on TA however



I think that any book, which claims to provide TA solutions specifically for a given market is already misleading. TA concepts must work in any market, under any conditions otherwise its basic premise is flawed. The way, of course, you apply these concepts will vary greatly based on your personality (i.e. trading style), experience, and so on and so forth A while ago I was searching for the same, when I came to realize, that application of TA on a particular market or timeframe actually becomes a methodology, numerous examples of which can be found on this very forum. I am sure youve seen the same method applied by some with great success, while others fail and move on to other solutions/systems/methods.



I found that John Murphys Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets is a more complete reference, reads easier and has plenty of very applicable TA information.

This was the 1st book i ever read on Forex (or trading period). I was too new to get much from it and it is on my list to re-read. IF I remember correctly the TA parts were not real indepth as he covers a lot of ground. Go to the library - they will most likely have a copy. Read it and if it is what u are looking for you can buy it.

I read an refer often 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 for TA. I used to think that the book had to be FOREX specific but I have found that the information applies to FOREX as well as Stocks and Futures.
In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.

No question John Murphy is one of the best TA experts... I have nearly everyone of his books. But, I would have to disagree with you. I think this would give what was requested. Luca's book is not exclusive It is inclusive of Futures, Currencies, Spot market, Corporate Trading, Central banks, Currency Options, and covers fundementals. Murphy is a pure TA analyist.

The scope of the original request, in my opinion Murphy does not cover...

They are all excellent books, although they are somewhat redundant with each other.

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

See, when I first read Murphys book and then came across Lucas, my novice expectation was that I will find something groundbreaking thats applicable specifically to forex. Of course now I understand that there is no real (not scam) TA book that will offer such advice. This is the trap, which I wanted the original poster to avoid.

Either one is a great book on TA and I agree that just one book may not even be enough.

I've already read John Murphy's book. In my opinion it is a must-read. However, it doesn't cover Forex-specific charts. I too believe that TA is not specific to a market, but having a book that shows you several examples of a specific market would be great! It helps you to have a better understanding of a good approach to that market.

A streamlined and highly effective approach to trading without indicators
Most forex traders rely on technical analysis books written for stock, futures, and option traders. However, long before computers and calculators, traders were trading naked. Naked trading is the simplest (and oldest) trading method. It's simply trading without technical indicators, and that is exactly what this book is about.
Traders who use standard technical indicators focus on the indicators. Traders using naked trading techniques focus on the price chart. Naked trading is a simple and superior way to trade and is suited to those traders looking to quickly achieve expertise with a trading method.

  1. Offers a simpler way for traders to make effective decisions using the price chart
  2. Based on coauthor Walter Peters method of trading and managing money almost exclusively without indicators
  3. Coauthor Alexander Nekritin is the CEO and President of TradersChoiceFX, one of the largest Forex introducing brokers in the world

Naked Forex teaches traders how to profit the simple naked way!

There are a lot of posts here about book selections, but you chose one of the older ones that asks for a completely different book and posted here. If the thread was correct, perhaps more than 10 people would have downloaded the book.

Check out "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" by John J. Murphy, "Elliott Wave Principle," "Fibonacci Trading," "Trading in the Zone," "Gann Secrets," and "The New Trading for a Living" for advanced Forex technical analysis.
"Fibonacci Trading" by Carolyn Boroden, and I found it really helpful! The way she breaks down Fibonacci retracements and extensions made it much easier to understand. It helped me see how I can use these tools to identify support and resistance levels in the market
