Richard had suggested Chande's The New Technical Trader. Being a 'computer potato,' I decided to try out Amazon.com. $20 off list, too. Presto!, in four days it arrived in my mailbox. Worked just fine! Seems a great way to buy books. Incidentally, I figured Chande would give me the GOLD. So far I do like the book. However.... (as happens on this dern thread) the preface points out that.... **it's up to you* to adopt the indicators presented to your trading style***. Oh, bother....

CL, <Technical analysis of the Financial Markets> That's hilarious. Murphy finally figured out he should market his book to equity traders, who have been buying it for years anyway. Edwards/Magee is a different animal since it's about pure pattern analysis and contains no math indicators. They come from a time when patterns played out with less "noise" and the specialists/market makers didn't have their own TA gurus watching support points just so they could gun them for the stops.
