Pattern Recognition and Trading Decisions (McGraw-Hill Trader’s Edge)

Pattern Recognition and Trading Decisions shows how to recognize the many types of patterns that exist, and also how to distinguish a genuine pattern from a misleading one.
What separates this book from many other books on technical analysis is that the author shows how to verify a pattern using several different and statistically independent perspectives, thus increasing the likelihood that the pattern is valid. Once a pattern is recognized and verified, trading decisions become more certain, leading to easier and more effective trading.
Verification from several perspectives requires a broad awareness of many techniques of technical analysis, and the author covers this diversity quite effectively by supplying an overview of a variety of trading decision tools and methods.
