Applying
Elliott Wave Theory Profitably
Steven Poser
Here are some comments I've personally received from readers: "Your book on elliott wave analysis that opened my eyes to the truth of accurately predicting markets and for this I am eternally grateful." - AND ANOTHER -
"Congrats and thank you for writing a wonderful book.....I believe this
is the missing piece to "more" profitable trades that was missing from
my aresenal."
How
Technical Analysis Works
Bruce Kamich
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.
New
Thinking in Technical Analysis
Rick Bensignor
A great book that has chapters from many of the top technical analysts and traders in the business. Includes a chapter on Elliott Wave written by Steven Poser. This book is a great deal at Traders Press.
Technical
Analysis of the Financial Markets
John Murphy
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.
Encyclopedia of Technical Market Indicators
Robert Colby
Robert Colby updated and substantially expanded his classic. Covers virtually every public domain indicator with full tests to show validity of methodology. You must remember that these tests are for standalone value and many indicators may work better in tandem with others. Regardless, it is an invaluable source of information.
The
Disciplined Trader
Mark Douglas
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.
The
Crowd: Extraordinary Popular Delusions
Lebon and MacKay
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!
Beyond
Candlesticks
Steve Nison
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.
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. This book is offered through Poser Global's Amazon Associates account.
