Praise for Getting Started in Chart Patterns


"When it comes to chart reading, Thomas Bulkowski can be categorized as a sui generis [constituting a class alone]. Combining objective analysis with a fictional element has resulted in a highly entertaining read, one that any trader will benefit from."

Jayanthi Gopalakrishan, Editor of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine


"Nobody explains the nuts and bolts of how―exactly―to use chart patterns to make real money in trading like Tom Bulkowski. I always do better in my own trading after reading a Bulkowski book. This is the practical, down-to-earth guidance you have been looking for in books on technical analysis. Bulkowski doesn't give you platitudes―he gives you live examples. Even better, he admits that patterns don't always deliver what we expect and he quantifies both success and failure rates for the top moneymaking patterns. Nobody writes about chart work better than Bulkowski."

Barbara Rockefeller, independent trader and advisor (www.rts-forex.com); author of Technical Analysis For Dummies


"In Getting Started in Chart Patterns, Bulkowski offers easy-to-apply advice for looking at charts and making them work more effectively for you in your trading. It is his passion; it probably also will become yours after reading this book. A must for budding technicians!"

Gail Osten, Executive Editor of Stocks, Futures and Options (SFO) magazine
