Reg, My friend Pejman Hamidi is the head trader at Polar Trading. We recently discussed TA books on our email thread and he said (and I quote): The absolute bible of TA is: Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, by Edwards/McGee. It is in it's 7th edition now. The next best is the book by Martin Pring. Technical Analysis Explained. Pejman is probably the best trader I know. Regards, Caroline

Hi Reg! Tell us a little more about what you've done so far.. How long have you been lurking? What other threads have you been monitoring? Have you been "thinking" about it long enough to know what your "inner trader" wants to do? (ie. style: daytrading, position trading, long term, don't know yet). Do you plan to use free services on the 'net or do you want to "do your own thing" with your computer? The answers may help us point you in more "guided" directions. Dale

Reg - As Caroline mentioned already, T.A. of Stock Trends is a good book. It deals primarily with patterns and trendlines and very little with indicators, at least in the 6th edition, which is the one I have. My all time favorite book is Trading for a Living by Dr. Alexander Elder. It covers market psychology, money management and some basic T.A. Although I haven't read it myself, I've seen The Visual Investor mentioned many times as a good T.A. primer. And there's T.A. for A to Z available online at equis.com CL
