Technical Analysis: Power Tools for Active Investors (paperback)

Obtuve del libro lo que esperaba y un poco más. Como sugeramente leyeron en la descripción el autor es quien desarrollo el indicador MACD. ¿Es el libro solamente sobre ese indicador? No! El autor propone varios analisis poco convencionales para complementar tu estrategia de inversión; eso sí, como dice el titulo es para inversores activos!; Ya que algunas de las recomendaciones del autor implican realizar un analísis cuando menos semanal del mercado y no es un analisis con indicadores que aparezcan todos en una plataforma de gráficos como TradingView... Sino que hay que investigarle un poco y a veces incluso desarrollar sus propias tablas/ registros.El bonus del libro es por supuesto el capitulo de MACD donde te explica la lógica de la construcción, su opinión sobre las mejores configuraciones de éste y, en general, cómo usarlo de manera adecuada [te das cuenta entonces que hay muchas cosas más allá del simple cruce de líneas]. Después de leerlo, te queda el libro como referencia ya que no todos los conceptos y estrategias que trae son digeribles la primera vez.Recomendado!

Very good book. Easy to follow.

An excellent book on the creator of the MACD indicator. The MACD is one of the main tools that I use now. A big chunk of pages I would say is just stuffing to fill the book, however the entire section on the MACD is worth every penny and most importantly this tool works. I would have liked to have seen a few case studies and examples on stocks as opposed to indexes, but I've made my own live examples and tested it out myself. I highly recommend this book for serious traders that want to make consistent green trades. I've given 5 stars because since using the MACD I've made green trade after green trade after green trade. I confess that I do use 3 other important tools, but combined together I've created my own strategised money making machine. Thanks a million Gerald Appel :)

The content of this book is very usefull for middle to experienced traders. Gerald has a very clear approach and written information, with useful hints on Technical Analysis. He starts with a Mutual funds analysis and evaluation overview. Very useful for the ones are managing funds or are planning to do so. After it, he goes to some new Chart readings and a lot of analysis over historical stock indexes. He cover some traditional charting readings as triangle, Head and shoulders and others. He explainings about market cycles, T Formations on charts to preview end of cycles and the MACD chapter, itself, it's a mandatory read to the ones who apply MACD on their daily analysis. He presents MACD with different timeframes and reading with 2 o 3 different MACDs to initiate and finalize trades, very usefull ans interesting. In the end of each chapter, he prepared an resume of all the chapter and its hints...very nice and fast for consulting....It's a nice book for reading and consulting over the years.

The value is in the detailed explanation of the MACD oscillator. I didn't use this as a significant buy/sell indicator but, after reading Mr Appel's fully descriptive chapter, I have included it in my general assessment. Otherwise, the book covers adequately the ground found in many books on technical analysis and is one to have in the reference pot.
