Technical Trading Books

Sections: Books — Posted @ 3:58 pm

I just received $85 worth of books from Amazon (cover price $140… gotta love Amazon discounts) that are suppose to teach me how to trading stocks using “technical analysis”. Hopefully, they will work and I will make a lot of money. The books are very thick so it will probably take me a while to digest. It is my hope that I can write some computer programs to apply the knowledge I learn in these books to all the stocks publicly traded on the 3 major US stock exchanges. It has worked out well for me in the past to write computer programs to filter down all the raw data to a short list of prospects. Then, I investigate these prospects by hand every morning and hopefully find some good opportunities.

For anyone who I haven’t scared off yet, here is the two books I bought:

Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications by John J. Murphy
A Complete Guide to Technical Trading Tactics : How to Profit Using Pivot Points, Candlesticks & Other Indicators (Wiley Trading) A Complete Guide to Technical Trading Tactics : How to Profit Using Pivot Points, Candlesticks & Other Indicators by John L. Person
