    Books
    His first book, Forex Patterns and Probabilities, is one of the top-selling Forex trading books of all time. His second book, The Ed Ponsi Forex Playbook, was endorsed by Professor Steven Hanke of the Johns Hopkins University. Both books have been published in a variety of languages, including Vietnamese and simplified Chinese.
    Ed’s latest book, Technical Analysis and Chart Interpretations, challenges traditional assumptions about charting and technical analysis. Ed believes that technical charting is widely misused and misunderstood, to the detriment of most retail traders. Ed’s latest book expands on the finer points of charting, and challenges the prevailing wisdom behind many widely accepted technical patterns.
