Key takeaways

  • The book is a pattern reference, not a trading system.
  • Its statistics are the author's measurements.
  • A named pattern is not evidence the next one will pay.
Wiley dates the hardcover to April 2021, 1,312 pages. The publisher says the edition revises statistics on dozens of patterns, including new ones, with pictures. That is reference material for someone who already reads charts. A historical count of how a shape behaved in the author's sample is not a law of the market. Samples, definitions, and the period studied all change the number. ChartClub does not treat a chart pattern as scientifically proven because it has an entry in this book. Use it to name a pattern and see how Bulkowski measured it. Then test the idea on the reader's own market and risk limits.

    Evidence-Based Technical Analysis

    David Aronson

    Evidence-Based Technical Analysis asks whether a technical rule survives a statistical test, especially after many rules were tried. ChartClub lists the 2006 Wiley edition. The book is a warning about data mining, not a catalog of signals that work.

    Kathy Lien

    Day Trading and Swing Trading the Currency Market is Kathy Lien's third edition on how the FX market is structured and how she frames currency trades. ChartClub lists the 2015 Wiley edition that matches this cover. A currency strategy in the book is not a tested edge.

    Following the Trend

    Andreas F. Clenow

    This is the second edition of Andreas F. Clenow's Following the Trend, a plain account of diversified managed-futures trend following. ChartClub lists the 2023 Wiley edition beside the 2012 record. A revised rule set is still not a fund result.
