Books don't necessarily have to be ones that deal with quant modeling. the psychology/theory part. Skip all the technical indicator stuff.Interesting, thanks. Although I am slightly conflicted on the use of tao/zen like principles that the author proposes, while playing a zero sum game that trading inherently is. Just curious - how prevalent is the use of 'Technical Analysis' in the quant circles, for intra-day or otherwise? With firms getting more open to using Machine Learning I can't imagine that it would be too difficult to pull out information from the charts using image processing techniques.Tao principles are necessary for keeping the proper emotional mindset when trading. As far as technical indicators you are correct. I myself have done some work with parameterized technical indicators that are continually constructed/updated using a machine learning/evolutionary algorithm. I believe great profit potential may be possible with this method. Still researching...Sounds like an interesting idea
