Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits
R. Schabacker · 2021
82/100
👍 Worth It
Schabacker wrote this in 1932 and essentially invented an entire discipline — the chart patterns and support/resistance concepts he documented here are still the vocabulary of technical analysis today. It is dense, the prose is dated, and it says nothing about algorithmic trading, but serious technical analysts treat it the way medical students treat foundational anatomy texts: you read it because everything that came after built on it. Not for beginners, genuinely essential for practitioners.
