Good books on intra-day trading

Please list out some books that you read that helped you understand and/or trade intra-day better. Books don't necessarily have to be ones that deal with quant modeling.

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.

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...
