			Technical Analysis Reference
			This Online Volume is a concise reference to a vast array of technical indicators and line studies. The discussion on each tool includes an overview, an explanation of its interpretation, and an example of the indicator or line study in action. When space has permitted, I have also included a step-by-step explanation of the relevant calculations. Most of these techniques can be applied to any type of security, including stocks, bonds, options, futures, mutual funds, and indices.
