Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns, 2nd Edition review:2 stars (method of trading successfully) - is not found here. Wordy beyond tears. Could have easily been 100 pages instead of 600. A mere pretender to the classic by Magee and Edwards. Tedium must be the Bulkowski philosophy. I really felt he did little to clarify any technical view what-so-ever. Every page is an endurance test of what's his point and where to find it. It promises theme, but delivers anecdotes. Loaded with questionable statistics, methodology and wordiness any reasonable trader can only come away with a feeling that this book was written for the sole purpose of making the author a buck.What this book lacks in originality it makes up for in a scholarly pomp. Perfect for a non traders library. The patterns are previous, The tactics non profit. This would be the last book in my trading library.1 stars (Verbose) - This one is a comnplete snoozer-- you'll quickly realise that the author knows how to type, but does he know how to write? It depends, if you like what normally would take one paragraph stretched into three pages this book is for you.Fwiw, Bulkowski writes a decent column in T/A of stocks and Commodities Magazine for which I'm assume they've capped his long winded behaviour.5 stars (Very indepth and good use of statistics) - As a trader myself I am always on the lookout for books and materials that do not tout get rich quick strategies. Mr. Bulkowski takes a very methodical and usefull approach in collecting many common and some exotic chart formations and then documenting how identify, trade, and ultimately reveal their statistical performances. One feature I found pricesless was the visual index in which you can match a formation visually and then figure out what it is called to read more about it. I highly recommend this book for people who are looking for a excellent chart formation book.
