Review :
“The book is called an ‘Encyclopedia’ for a reason.  In roughly 1000 pages, it contains 53 chart patterns plus 9 more event patterns which will pretty much cover you for any chart you come across…. if you take technical trading seriously, it is a book that should be on your shelf.” —Alan Battista, Stockineer.com Book Review
