A quick cross check, via Amazon's "search inside", indicates that
Charting For Dummies (Aus Edition) is based on "Technical Analysis
For Dummies" by Barbara Rockefeller (strange name that - the Oz one -
I went to look at the computing books and thought I was picking up a
book on computer charting, as in Excel etc).
There are differences that go beyond the resources section, but I
can't quantify them - some AmiBroker charts have been added.
All in all an enjoyable read, for trading obsessives, and a recap of
basic TA - definitely not a reference book or an AmiBroker book.
