With 63 chart illustrations Jiler does a great job showing the reader optimum entry and exit points. Additionally Jiler also explains some of the crowd psychology behind the patterns which can give a trader a better understanding of WHY these patterns tend to work more often then not. One of the better books on technical analysis written in the 60's. 202 pages, illustrated, indexed. First Edition, First Printing in Very Good Condition, Collectible.
