Rejected by most academics and many practitioners, technical analysis has flourished on the outskirts of the financial establishment, passing from one generation to the next through odd apprenticeships and confabulations, growing into one of the most colorful parts of Wall Street folklore. As a result, technical analysis suffers from such a lack of standardization that the discipline is still considered a black art by many. Shortcomings aside, technical analysis has grown in popularity, attracting a significant and devoted following among traders and investors. Lo and Hasanhodzic immerse themselves in the controversial world of these practitioners, inviting them to tell the story of their craft in their own words.
