Key takeaways

  • The book is a vocabulary for reading trend bars.
  • Most examples are active charts, especially intraday futures.
  • Naming a bar is not a measured edge.
Wiley lists this hardcover, ISBN 978-1-118-06651-5, at 480 pages, in the 2011 edition. The subtitle is technical analysis of price charts bar by bar. Brooks walks through trend legs, pullbacks, and how he labels bars. Much of the illustration is intraday, especially index futures, though the language is meant to travel. The book is long and specific. It rewards a reader who will mark charts, and it is a poor fit for someone who wants a short list of setups. Bar labels are a vocabulary. They are not a tested expectancy for the reader's market. This is the trends volume of a three-book series. The reversals and trading-ranges volumes are separate records.
