All About Market Indicators (All About Series)

My first book on technical analysis of stocks was "Technical Analysis from A-Z". That was way, way over my head. I needed something a little easier to start out on and didn't kill me with math. This book is it and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about these valuable tools for investing short or long-term.If you don't know anything about indicators (or a still relatively new to the subject) and are investing, I would urge you to read the material in this book. There are valuable lessons that could prevent serious financial hardship (like the simple rules around moving averages, which you can use to get a feel for where the market is going).It is a primer. It is not an exhaustive study, and the author never makes a claim that it is. It's really a wonderful "appetizer" that shows you the different strategies. It also points you in the direction of where you should look next. He also does a nice little "back-test" to see which of the major strategies work. I found this useful in having a starting direction.On a side note, I like Sincere's style. It's very easy to understand. I bought his book, "Understanding Stocks", for my teenage son. I have read two of his other books, "Understanding Options" and "101 Investment Lessons". "Understanding Options" I found to be a great starting overview of this complicated field; "101 Investment Lessons" was useful and should be read, but was a bit dated (it was written in the late 90s), and needs to be read with an open mind.But this book -- Understanding Market Indicators -- I really believe is an absolute must-read if you are investing and are not familiar with technical analysis. It could save you a LOT of pain.

This little book does a good job of introducing the reader to a wide selection of indicators. I recommend it for those who are unfamiliar with indicators and need an overview of the different strategies that they use to indicate market movements. It isn't a detailed "Bible" of indicators, and may not be adequate for experienced traders wanting to develop a deep understanding of how various indicators work.

I am new at this and knew absolutely nothing about indicators before reading the book... now my sinkorswim platform is loaded with what I need. Easy to read and provides step by step instructions and explanation for each indicator. Also a critique and interviews with creators of indicators and different trader types. This is a great book to help you understand the ins and outs of indicators. Michael provides references to other books if you wish to learn more.

-Helps a lot with breaking down each indicator-a lot of good key points- I was able to find my set up using this book

my boyfriend loves it

Great book for the beginner explains all indicators that I didn't know before. Also very easy to read.

This book and all the other books that Mike Sincere has written and all three books that I have read were wrote in very easy to understand language and without using those hundred dollar words.If you want to learn anything about investing his three books(understanding stocks,start day trading and understanding indicators)was without a doubt very easy to follow.I reccomend his books to everybody.

Excellent book written for average Joe. He presents the reader with the vast variety of indicator options along with pros and cons for each and lets you figure out which one suits YOU best.
