Schwager on Futures
Technical Analysis
Revered by many, reviled by some, technical analysis is the art and science of deciphering price activity to better understand market behavior and identify trading opportunities. In this accessible guide, Jack Schwager demystifies technical analysis for beginning investors, clearly explaining such basics as trends, trading ranges, chart patterns, stops, entry, and exit and pyramiding approaches. The book's numerous examples and clear, simple explanations provide a solid framework for using technical analysis to make better, more informed investment decisions and as the basis for mechanical trading systems.

Great Book, with a good balance of visual graphs, theoretical info and formulas, clear examples and exercises, and philosophical advice.
A bit technical at times, but the technical part is kept as short and as effective as possible.

Вероятно, самый полный справочник по техническому анализу. Можно много рассуждать о применении ТА на финансовых рынках, если нужно основательное понимание данной темы, то в этой книге наиболее полно рассмотрена данная тема.

Excellent book on trading (primarily futures-oriented and not much on intraday, but generally applicable), with a nice collection of real world chart analyses (bar, not candle, unfortunately).
