My choices: 1. Alexander Elder "Trading for a Living" -- a good basic starting point 2. Steve Nison "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques" -- for a different perspective 3. Edwards and McGee "Technical Analysis of Stock Trends" -- a classic But there are a lot of good choices out there.

Best TA book "technical analysis of stock trends".Written 70years ago,costs about 60 bux,in depth no bs,much more useful than fibonnacci,gann and esoteric fancy jargon crap.Gives you rock solid foundation in ta.Don't buy books on the new fancy ta just get the software if you really need it.

Books on TA My favorite is by far Technical Analysis:A-Z.It's concise and thorough and uses charts and examples of past stock performance.However I think that the value of this book would be greatly enhanced if you got some easy to use charting software like Omega Research Wall St Analyst.This software (and others like it) have what they call "experts" which tell you exactly what the "read" is on any chart at any point in time just by clicking on it.These are two great tools.
