The bible for calculating and explaining every trading tool. Once I understood how the metrics are calculated I better understood how to use them. If you're a numbers or Excel geek and like to trade stocks, this is indispensible.

Firs RIP Zig Ziglar. He was a great, if not THE great sales voice of his generation. And with respect, this is my opinion about how his voice affects us is 2019.
Zig for sales people was like the 12 commandments to Catholics. The issue is that all verticals are constantly changing. It's like Zigs ideologies and practices are misrepresented as the end-game- mastering them is the holy grail. But what any good sales person will tell you is that without continuously improving in conjunction with our respective industries, you're going to fall behind. Nobody sells knives door to door anymore, they're sold in a House and Home non-binary bi-monthly subscription box for a prepaid $49.99- if you catch my drift. So Zig isn't Zig because Zig is the idea success is a destination.

A great book for beginners and it covers a broad spectrum of tools and techniques in general. For the more advanced readers, they may find it not so special or even boring.

It was a very good book for newbie like me at that time.I found it is loaded with too much contents of different indicator and basically their formula which I think hardly anyone will use because we as a trader wants direct result and that we can get from charting software.We dont want to mess with how thosw formulae come up.But overall its very good info

A really good collection of tools to serve as a reference for anytime use. I already deployed some of these indicators in my strategy. I have yet to finish reading but I also stopped trading for the time being but still revert back soon enough.
