Product Description
Constance Brown, CMT, distills Fibonacci analysis to two hundred or so comprehensive, clearly written, eminently practical pages. Brown knows exactly what a professional trying to come up to speed on a new trading tool needs and she provides it, covering what Fibonacci analysis is, how it works, where it comes from, pitfalls and dangers, and, of course, how to use it. Basic trading strategies are touched upon in virtually every chapter. Fibonacci analysis is one of the most popular technical analysis tools, yet it is often used incorrectly. Brown quickly clears up common misconceptions and moves on to show, step by step, the correct way to apply the technique in any market. Those with Fibonacci analysis software will learn how to use it with maximum effectiveness; those without will chart the market the old-fashioned way. Occasional references to other tools--including Elliott Wave, W.D. Gann, and candlestick charts--and an extensive bibliography make this book richer for accomplished technical analysts without confounding the less experienced. Plentiful real-life examples and dozens of carefully annotated charts insure every reader will get maximum value from every minute spent with this book.

 A deep and informative book. For advanced studies only. September 7, 2008

Constance Brown is a very intelligent person. I said that first because this is not the type of investing book that deals in general market tactics and strategies that most people write and can write. If you read this book you might find yourself(as I did) going back and reviewing things before you get the hang of it.
Fibonacci systems are not easily understood if they are to be implemented correctly. This book covers all you'll need to understand and implement Fibonacci systems in your technical analysis, except for the software obviously. Like she says in the book, don't feel discouraged if you don't get it right away. Keep at it and keep researching and tempering your skill.
I wish Mrs. Brown would write a series on Technical Analysis(she mentions other topics that she would like to write about in the book). She has written other books but I'd like to see them republished or some written anew.
All-in-all a great book. Not for beginners. Definitely rewarding.
Pluses: A first(or near it) of it's kind. Deep subject reviewed and explained. Author has authority and knowledge on subject.
Minuses: Book might be out of reach for some leading to disappointment. Definitely requires study to fully understand.

I have read this book twice and started using the confluence zones. Now the book is used like a daily reference manual.
Keep in mind that the other reviews you see above are correct; knowledge of technical analysis is helpful in understanding this information. I have been investing and trading for several years and I have also accumulated 100 books on the subject. None of these books ever compelled me to write to the author and thank them for writing their book; that is until this one. Constance has a gift for teaching. Being brilliant helps too! This book is required reading for the serious trader.
I am amazed at what happens in the confluence zones!! I am getting better and better at drawing the correct Fib Levels and my zones are becoming meaningful and respected. This makes me freak out a little because these are levels I would never see otherwise; they have no meaning until you find them!! (if that makes any sense at all)I know several traders who think they are using Fibonacci Levels. Now I recognize that they are using Fibonacci all wrong. I was too; before I read this book.
My advice; get the book, read it, read it, read it; then practice like you have never practiced before.
Tools are only as good as the hand they find themselves in; be committed and this will amaze you too.

The perspective that the author provides on Fib price analysis should be obvious and already subsconsiously built into the mindset of anyone who pursues this technique creatively. There were a couple of methods she presented which were new and provided motivation for some further investigation. Where the book excels is in the hints Brown provides about astrological timing, and harmonics, given the depth of research she has completed on the Pyramids, music theory, and the sky. The paradox of being able to apply these tools properly to the markets (since they DO allow for incredible accuracy), is that you can never know what is going to happen and one must learn to remain detached from the "forecasts" when they've hit a good trade. The big money is made on the big moves, and someone with access to these tools is more likely to think they can outsmart the market by getting in and out all the time.
Awesome reference and highly recommended! September 26, 2008

Best book on FIB analysis I've read. For serious market students only. I was intimidated by the breadth of knowledge here and had to revisit the book several times. For the price, I expected a bland primer book and instead found a jewel. I thought I was using FIBS correctly as a trader for over a decade. The author is profound at times, like explaining the superiority of Fib ratios over just the numbers:
"The contraction is reality. The math model is theory".
The chapter on expansion targets and confluence in time was worth the price alone and would have paid twice the price.
She covers the history and mystery of Phi without getting lost in it. Then covers PRACTICAL applications and examples without getting lost in that either. The way she conveys complex ideas in simple ways is pure art.
This is not a rehash of static, vanilla FIB techniques. The book revealed "projective" strategies I've never seen before, she's obviously taken FIB analysis to the next level with this.
I would suggest using colored candlecharts, but then that would have been too perfect...perhaps in the next edition.
Most traders/houses on the Street don't divulge their technical trading strategies (why would they?) and she has done just that.
Hope this one gets kept secret, though...
Another Invaluable Book by Connie Brown September 7, 2008

There are many market analysts who discredit the value of
Phi/phi as their scans show only incidental occasions when
prices reverse at those popular "retracement" levels.
Connie Brown, who has mastered the teachings of W. D. Gann, R. N. Elliott, and many other's theories, is to be complimented for sharing many of her discoveries in yet another great little book. From her world travels she also adds insights into the historic uses of "The Sacred Mean", or "Golden Ratio", that is found in great art masterpieces, architecture and, most importantly, nature.
Connie offers concrete evidence as to reasons that some practioners do not find value in these studies.
It is my opinion that this book will be of special value to "discretionary" traders, those who have developed a holistic view of the markets using elements of multiple analytical approaches, rather than to the "system" trader. In other words, personal work (reason) is essential to employing these methods successfully.
It is my hope that Connie's revelations will lead to
even further discoveries in the understanding of the
ebb and flow of mass market psychology as there is still much to be learned.
