THE TECHNICAL ANALYSIS CLASSIC―REVISED AND UPDATED TO HELP YOU SUCCEED, EVEN DURING TIMES OF EXTREME VOLATILITY
“This book contains the most advanced methodology I’ve ever seen.”
―GEORGE C. LANE, from the Foreword
Required reading for certification in the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) program
Over a decade ago, when this groundbreaking guide was first published, the world of technical analysis had experienced vast change. Seemingly overnight, technological advances had utterly transformed the way market analysts performed their jobs. A growing army of professional technical traders, armed with global plug-and-play software, needed to improve their skills of price projection, timing, and risk management to weather the increasing market ranges and volatility.
Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional helped them achieve it. The word spread that this practical guide provided radical new uses and combinations of indicators and formulas―and it became an instant classic.
By comparison, today’s markets make those of 1999 look simple―so Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional has been expanded to reflect the author’s experiences over the past decade to bring you fully up to date. It provides comprehensive coverage of new techniques, as well as the timeless insight and tools that analysts will always need to maintain a competitive edge in the global financial markets, including:
- Explanations of why common oscillators do not travel between 0 and 100 and why signals develop in different ranges during bull versus bear market trends
- Expanded guidelines for the use of the Composite Index. Formulas are fully detailed for this custom oscillator that warn when the Relative Strength Index is failing to detect a trend reversal
- A comprehensive foundation of Gann analysis, with an explanation of howGann Squares, the Gann Fan, and the Square of 9 are geometrically related to one another
- Methods for calculating Fibonacci retracements and swing projections in rapidly expanding or contracting markets
- A more expansive discussion of cycle analyses and their asymmetrical properties
Each chapter presents the given topic as a separate building block, moving step-by-step through 150 charts that lead toward new methods of price triangulation. The result enables you to pinpoint a market objective―even in the most extreme and volatile trading environment.
Use Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional to establish the trading dominance you need to excel in today’s uncertain markets.

I first discovered this writer after buying her book on fibonacci and it is without doubt the best book I have come across on the subject. This book continues the high standard, but has major flaws. I have been trading for about 8 years now and although profitable, am aware I still have more to learn, so still buy books, do a lot of reading and a lot of studying. Over the years I have bought many books and most of them are trash, obviously written by people who dont know as much as they claim. Constance Brown quite obviously knows her subject in depth, and this book would undoubtably be the best book I have yet come across except for two very major flaws. First, she frequently mentions that Gann is a major part of her analysis method, then refuses to divulge those methods (so why even mention it? – I have a keen interest in Gann method, so this in itself is frustrating). However, perhaps the most absurd of all is that a large part of this book is written about what she calls the Composite indicator, how to use it, and how to use it together with the RSI indicator, but then tells you she is not telling you what the composite indicator is! Dont misunderstand me, I do still think the book contains a lot of good information, especially about giving more thought to how to use indicators, elliot wave, and a lot more, but I cannot help but feeling she is being a bit dishonest with this book. How can you base the best part of an entire book around something you then tell the reader that you will not divulge what it is? I have read this book about 6 times, have got much useful ideas from it, but always end up being a bit angry and feeling a bit deceived – why even mention a composite index indicator if you then refuse to say what it is? Of course, she does say that you should check her web site, and then you find that she offers a course at over 5000 dollars where she will tell you what the composite index indicator is…….

I have been in the business for over fifteen years now and can confidently say that this book has changed the way I approach the markets in my everday trading. Ms. Browns book will open your eyes to new ways to analyze common indicators, while she also reveals some very powerful propietary indicators. The book contains a wealth of new information and is a must read for any serious student of technical analysis..

As described.

It is for people who already have a good foundation in technical analysis. It questions and ridicules layman’s beliefs about indicators and goes a long way in passing the message of ‘ know thy indicator’.
