Hi guys, I just get a job from a prop trading firm as a trader trainee. I hope gurus here could recommend me some classic technique analysis book for day trader.Thanks a lot in advance!

Best out there.

Good luck man, its going to be tough in this mkt esp without the knowledge of whatss going on in credit etc.. Just stay very very disciplined with your stops.I have that very same book strimp099 recommends under my desk.

mastershawn, if you want to do prop trading, why don't you read something really useful? charts were great technical innovation in Napoleon era (hence the name). i strongly suggest take to look at the curriculum at any MBA or Financial Engineering program to see what tools people use today to derive competitive advantage.

QuoteOriginally posted by: strimp099Best out there. a copy of it, still think it's all nonsense / snake oil. If i remember correctly, the only way to get technical pattern matching to work* is with ANNs *work meaning statistically significant alpha, not looking a chart from last week and going "see head and shoulders there and market turned around"

that book is not good. there are better technical analysis books out there.
