Financial Prediction from Babylonian Tablets to Bloomberg Terminals

A comprehensive history of the evolution of technical analysis
from ancient times to the Internet age

Whether driven by mass psychology, fear or greed of investors,
the forces of supply and demand, or a combination, technical
analysis has flourished for thousands of years on the outskirts of
the financial establishment. In The Evolution of Technical
Analysis: Financial Prediction from Babylonian Tablets to Bloomberg
Terminals
, MIT's Andrew W. Lo details how the charting of past
stock prices for the purpose of identifying trends, patterns,
strength, and cycles within market data has allowed traders to make
informed investment decisions based in logic, rather than on luck.
