Now in its 8th edition with about 1,000,000 copies in print Technical Analysis of Stock Trends by Edwards and Magee as revised and modernized by W.H.C. Bassetti. It is the definitive textbook and manual on the practice of technical analysis through the analysis of charts. It is probably accurate to say that all technical analysis has its roots in this book. And it is also true that the provenance of this book boasts a lineage of masters of the craft which goes back to Charles Dow.
This edition is coauthored by W.H.C. Bassetti of john magee technical analysis::delphic options research ltd. The 8th Edition maintains the integrity of the original and updates those areas which need to be updated. It leaves untouched vast parts of the book which are as pertinent today as when they were first created by Edwards and Magee.
