RSI: The Complete Guide

Rating:
Summary: Great book on RSI!
Review: Minus the mistakes (assuming there were, though I have not done the findings), it is a great book on RSI. I have used RSI for my trading and the techniques mentioned in this book does work. The only disappointment was that it only included a basic review of Fibonacci retracements.

Rating:
Summary: Really excellent!
Review: My criteria for good books on trading are: 1) originality of the material; 2) applicability of the material to my own trading; and 3) contribution of the material to the broadening of my trading worldview. This book succeeds on all three points.

I was not previously aware of the multiple uses or depth of the RSI indicator. This book shows how to discern underlying market currents that are not readily obvious through other means. If you are interested in technical indicators, this work might prove to be a profitable read.

Summary: irritating
Review: There might be some uselful info in this book, but the blatant plagrism is so irritating that makes the book unreadable.

Summary: Wait for Cardwell to publish
Review: This has to be one of the poorest written and edited books on trading. It starts early with an error in the equation for RSI (not to worry, the appendix that goes into more detail also has at least one error in the spreadsheet). The charts need a magnifying glass to read. But even a magnifying glass won't help in finding points that are referred to in the text, but not marked on the chart. I guess we'll have to wait for Cardwell to finally publish.

Summary: Imitation / Go to the actual source
Review: While this book mentions John Hayden "worked" with Andrew Cardwell and his book is a basis of that work, what Mr. Hayden has failed to note is that most of this book is work that Mr. Cardwell shared with him while Mr. Hayden was staying in his home. Also, most if not all of Mr. Hayden's book is, to put it mildly, "a very poor analysis of Mr. Cardwe'll work"... If you want a sorry imitation then here's your book - if you want the original you need to study Andrew Cardwell's RSI Course.
