This book is not just another technical analysis textbook. It'll lead the readers into a new dimension of technical analysis that you would not find in other books. The author, William Chan, discusses his charting style involving pivotal technical studies/indicators to build a comprehensive analysis that can readily be used for trading. Unlike others, Bill's technical analysis approach serves to uncover two fundamental precepts. First, the charting style engages dynamic channels to cope with today's algorithmic trading impacts. Second, the charting style, when mastered and abided by, can bring forth a systematic list cataloging all potential hidden risks visually. Whereby, investors can steer away from them in their investment decision making.
The book illustrates how risk mitigation is the identification of support/resistance. The charting scheme employs key technical studies/indicators working side by side to expose all the hidden risks. Readers will be amazed by the amount of risks that this methodology reveals in a single stock chart. One may feel this work is unnecessary. The fact remains that traders are subjected to ALL legitimate risks whether they are clearly identified on a stock chart or not. As we can't possibly keep track of all those potential risks, it still makes sense to characterize them - minimizing any shock to the investors' bottom line unexpectedly. Moreover, it is not uncommon even for seasoned traders to make wrong investment decisions simply because they fail to identify those hidden supports/resistances either due to ignorance or otherwise.
