Day Trading With Short Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout by Toby Crabel

Summary

The first trading book that gives price data the proper rigorous treatment. Statistics and biases are summarized across several markets. The framework that Mr. Crabel developed back then 20+ years ago is still valid today. Great insights that shaped the trading principles of many famous traders nowadays. One of the best trading classics of all time.

All About Technical Analysis: The Easy Way to Get Started by Constance Brown

Summary

This book is written with retail traders in mind who has no prior exposure to technical analysis or charting in general. Not a book teaching straightly technical methods. Also not a book teaching a complete methodology. It is a nice guided tour of trading by a professional trader who knows her stuff well. Well written with interesting tales to keep the readers stay focus. A good read but not as good as the other book written by the same author for professional traders, Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional.

Point and Figure Charting: The Essential Application for Forecasting and Tracking Market Prices (2007) by Thomas Dorsey

Summary

The original edition is the best book I have read in teaching a charting method clearly and scientifically. The revised edition has expanded to cover concepts outside of just point and figure charting. A lot of chart examples are given so that the readers can follow the text better in the revised edition. Personally, I prefer the original one because it is 100 pages shorter with great focus on the subject – applications of point and figure charting techniques. My statistics driven trading method is heavily influenced by this book. Essential reading for all traders.
