(332 pages, £34.99 hardcover, 2007, ISBN 978-1-90564-113-0) by Brian Marber, published by Harriman House.
Marber writes about his approach and includes details of market pitfalls and the occasional pratfall. The book presents the reader with the techniques and indicators that the author has used in his 51 years in the business. This book tells you his methods, when positions have gone wrong, and what you do about it. Technical analysis is about running profits and, by using technically oriented stops, cutting losses when the position you’re in becomes untenable. The author begins with price, then what price leads to: trends, support and resistance, patterns, indicators and ratios. When that has been absorbed, he moves on to stops. This book is for anyone who wants to understand the markets.
