Summary: The Quintessential Reference Book
Comment: Ever wonder what all those proper names and strange looking acronyms mean when you look at the choices of technical indicators available on most web sites today?
Steven B. Achelis, founder of EQUIS and creator of MetaStock has compiled the quintessential reference book for technical analysis covering practically every indicator known to mankind. But if there is one thing to imprint onto your brain from this book, it is contained in pages covering the subject "Support and Resistance." In all my years of floor trading, I have never seen anything more valid in price trend analysis than this horizontal (support) line connecting previous tops which once surmounted becomes the floor for the next move up. Achelis calls the pullback after breakout "trader's remorse" and it is the ideal place to buy into a strong stock in a strong industry. His several graphs depicting this pattern couldn't be more precise. The pictures are worth a thousand words. Armed with only this bit of technical knowledge, an investor would improve the odds of profitability many times over by merely subjecting every potential purchase to this test pattern. I take it that because Achelis spent about 5 times as much material on this one concept as he did the other indicators, he agrees that this is truly one of the most important theories in technical analysis.
The rest of the book is devoted to short descriptions of what various indicators mean, how they area calculated, and how they are used. This is especially useful when subscribing to any of the numerous web sites that now carry dozens of indicators. Keep the book close to the computer to have it as a ready reference. I doubt if you will find more detailed information in any other source.

Summary: There is nothing like this book
Comment: I own a lot of books on investing and technical analysis and can say there is nothing like this new edition from Mr. Achelis. Yes, the discussions on each indicator are brief (2 to 4 pages), but there are something like 130 indicators! And unlike the first edition (which I recall reading that it had sold almost 100,000 copies), the new edition shows the MATH behind almost all the indicators (no other book I've seen covers the calculations on so many indicators). Even if you own the first edition, this is worth the money.
Rating: 5
Summary: From the creator of MetaStock
Comment: TA from A-Z is an excellent desk reference that describes in great detail a hundred or so different technical indicators, how they are used and also how to calculate them.
I'm not alone in liking this book. Steven Nison, Walter Bressert, John J. Murphy, William O'Neil , Martin Pring and John Bollinger all wrote glowing reviews for this book.
