Toni Turner and Steve Nison each have a few books worth a read.

I know an old thread, but had to say I have that book as well.

Not really that good for someone new to anything about the market. It was way over my head until just recently, which I still have some problems with the concepts.

Bought another book, seemed more on my level of education in the market.
Getting Started in Swing Trading by Michael C Thomsett.


This book is simpler, and I almost skimmed over the first two chapters, thinking they may be 'juvenile' for my level of investing, Was I wrong. I didn't know that the candlestick was such an important sourse in determining the direction of a stock.

Have you finished it Aj, and if so, what are your thoughts now concerning it?

I think I have Toni's book around here somewhere...

Murphy's Intermarket Technical Analysis is good as well (though it might put you to sleep)

Rkahn did a fair amount of work, a little while back, compiling book references that have appeared on the forum and putting them into a thread.

Here is a link to that thread.
