If we strip away all the fancy indicators and obtuse jargon, what is left are time-tested methods of finding worthwhile investment opportunities and assessing their risk. There is no fortune telling here; only figuring out what to do in the market, the only part of the markets that we can control.

This book offers you the basics needed to look at a chart and get a feel for what the market or individual stock is doing. It covers only the nuts and bolts of chart analysis, briefly touching upon the next level concepts, while leaving the whiz-bang advanced stuff well alone.
