An Aid to Timing

This is a book review of Ed Carlson’s second volume, George Lindsay’s An Aid to Timing, Annotated Edition. It is a reproduction of some of the technical theories of George Lindsay. Carlson divides Lindsay’s monograph An Aid to Timing into three chapters. An additional three chapters explain the broader concepts of Lindsay’s technique and offer sample analysis. Lindsay’s technique attempts to locate market highs and lows employs a timing technique rather than price movements themselves. As most technical theories rely on price, this approach, given the number of supporting examples, merits consideration.
