Technical Analysis and Trading Strategies

Open any trading chart and you're looking at the visual language of markets — candlesticks, patterns, indicators, breakouts. This third volume of the Must Know Trading Terms series teaches you to read that language fluently. Across twenty-five short chapters, Personal Trading Coach walks you through the building blocks of technical analysis (candlesticks, support and resistance, trend lines, moving averages, RSI, MACD, volume), the most important chart patterns (head and shoulders, double tops, triangles, breakouts), and the four classic trading styles (scalping, day trading, swing trading, position trading). The approach is friend-to-friend rather than instructor-to-student. Each term gets a clear definition, a worked example, common mistakes to avoid, and a wider perspective. Detailed visual diagrams accompany every chart pattern and indicator — this volume contains the most visuals of the series. Technical analysis is not magic, and this book does not pretend it is. But understood properly, it gives you a structured way to look at price action. By the end, you'll see what professional traders see. For educational purposes only. Not financial advice.
