Th i s b o o k p r ov i d e s a n i n t r o d u c t i o n t o the six main areas of behavioral finance. Then three key technical analysis techniques are applied to these areas. This is a practical read for those who want to understand what happens when human nature and financial markets collide, and how to profit from it.
