"The first to make technical analysis and charting an organized discipline" (Linda Raschke), Schabacker achieved "the finest work ever produced on conventional technical analysis." Stock Market Theory and Practice and his later writings represent "the highest order of analytical quality and incisive technical thought" (Donald Mack). "Schabacker showed how the 'signals' that had been considered important by Dow theorists when they appeared in the Averages were also significant and had the same meanings as when they turned up in the charts of individual stocks. Others, too, had noted these technical patterns. But it was Schabacker who collated, organized and systematized the technical method" (Edwards, Magee, Bassetti, Technical Analysis). "Most prominent among his patterns are the common basic formations indicating a major accumulation (distribution) Like his patterns, Schabacker's practical advice was deeply rooted in his understanding of the reality of the markets" (Lo & Hasenhodzic, Evolution of Technical Analysis, 95-6). First printing with no printings stated on copyright page. With folding frontispiece map of the Financial District, two folding charts, numerous black-and-white plates and in-text illustrations, along with 12 appendices containing detailed historical records and statistics.
