Bruce Kamich, a long time technical analyst and commodity trader, has written one of the best introductory books on
technical analysis that I've seen. Unlike most others in this category, it is practical, providing trading advice, while
still educational. Bruce even goes so far as to use less than perfect examples of the classic technical patterns in his
explanations instead of seeking out perfect examples, which almost never happen in real life anyway. Too bad there's no
section on Elliott.
This is the updated version of the classic, Technical Analysis of the Futures Market by John Murphy. It is one of the most easy to read and comprehensive guides to technical analysis.
Forecasting Financial Markets by Tony Plummer provides an excellent combination of market psychology with technical analysis. It also has a strong focus on Mr. Plummer's variation to Elliott Wave Theory.
Connie Brown's Aerodynamic Trading ranks right up there with Mark Douglas' book on how to maintain the proper mindset
for trading. Excellent exercises and fascinating writing style make this book an absolute must buy for the technically
oriented trader or investor.
The Disciplined Trader by Mark Douglas is probably the single best book on trading psychology out there. Although it
does not at all focus on technical analysis, it shows you how to teach yourself to listen to the market, which is what
TA is all about.
A true classic. This book describes the great manias of history. Written in the 1800s, it is still applicable today.
Anybody that wishes to understand how and why markets move MUST read this book!
From the first person to bring Japanese Candlesticks to America, Steve Nison teaches you how to use Candlesticks and
combine them with traditional Western technical analysis techniques. A must for any technician's library.
