LG: David J. has recommended this book -

A good book for beginning into TA is "Using Technical Analysis" by Pistolese.

Do you have any recommendations for TA and charting books for a newbie? (I decide to buy a few books on this subject)

If you could also give a few good web site on this subject, that would be nice.

What I learned in school was that the market goes up and down randomly, therefore you cannot predict any better than 50/50. If this is true, obviously this site is useless. But I see such a great popularity of MDA among SI users, you guys must be doing better than 50/50 odds.

In your past experience... could you please share with me what is the % of predicting the direction of the market correctly in each categories?

- 5 min. in to the future
- 30 min.
- 1 hour
- 1 day
- 1 week
- 1 month

If you can get better than 50% on any of the above category, then it is definitely worth it to study. Otherwise I should spend my time somewhere else.

Let me thank you in advance for your help.

Jon
