Summary: Very wordy and poorly written
Comment: As a professional trader I am always looking to improve my skills. This book is useless: painfully poorly written and extremely wordy for a tiny bit of information provided. I could not finish reading it after many attempts. Don't waste your time. If you insist, buy it used from someone like me. Better yet, read something else!

Summary: A Complete Insight Into The Master Swing Trader
Comment: Farley's book compares very well with my favorite swing trading book, Dave Landry on Swing Trading.
Discretionary traders will like the fact that Farley believes trading is more art than science. The Master Swing Trader still relies on pattern interpretation, after all. What Farley terms "Pattern Cycles," in fact, form the core of his methodology.
Farley, also, makes ample use of charts and examples that greatly aid in understanding. However, the example-charts at times appear to be too detailed or "cluttered," but this is a minor complaint.
This is a book that is very broad in content. There are chapters on "Preparing For the Market Day," and one on "Understanding Time." Candlesticks are added to the discussion throughout, as are those indicators commonly found in software charting packages.
The best parts of the book, however, are the chapters devoted to the "7-Bells," one chapter for each, which disuss seven specific pattern setups that seek to capitalize on predictable crowd behavior. The "Finger Finder" (one-bar candlestick reversals) is just one "bell" example that could improve your short-term trading immediately.

Summary: Excellent but very technical
Comment: For all traders and investors. Swing trading teaches great entry points and profit management.
I've been a swing and trend trader for years now with a vast library of TA books. This book is the best I've ever read.
Not the type of book for a beginner, I suggest ligher reading until you get to know the basics of oscillators, trend lines, volume characteristics etc...
If you know the basics, this will propel you to 3 levels above.
Carefull reading will reap profits. It did for me.
Take time reading this book, use a hylighter, bookmark pages, go back to them from time to time.
CAUTION! This book is written in a college textbook fashion with higher mathematical terminology. It wouldn't hurt to read the book with an engineering dictionary or a good math site.
Although some techniques did not fit the present day environment, I know they will fit future environments.
I found the advice very sound and profitable.
This is a TA encyclopedia! Awesome book.
