Book for learner on technical analysis

Pl. suggest which book on technical analysis is considerd as most helpful to a learner.

Come into my trading room by Dr. Alexander Elder.
Technical analysis A to Z -Seychellis
There are many to go through, each one has some good things to learn. It depends on which subject you want to get expertise on.

Mechanical Trading systems by Richard L. Weissman is a nice directory of trading systems.

Sir, Is the name of author correct for Ato Z b Sechellis. rkkarnani told me something about a book with sam name but Author being : Achelis Stevens.

Oh! Yes, I typed it wrong, it is Steven B. Achelis.

The Weissman book is it about Pair Trading or Trading Systems in General? I have one which is about Pairs only. Do u have a soft copy?

Is that about trading pairs or pairing trader psychology?

Mechanical Trading systems by Richard L. Weissman is a pure trading system book. But it still does not match the standards which truly professional readers seek. If anyone is serious about trading systems, then the best book to read is,

Trading systems that work by Thomas Stridsman.

This book is a tough read. In no way it is going to give one answers unless one commits himself to it.

I would not encourage to spend money on any book for starting... As far as first step into the world of trading is concerned, below mentioned threads are way more than enuf for anybody who is below rating of 3-4 on scale of 10.....

1> "Teach a man to fish..." by Saint
2> "Trading Strategies...." by Raunak

Trust me, one shud save money spent on beginners level book and use them for experiement on his/her trading style and accordingly buy book suitable to his/her style...

For mediocre to advance level, I wud suggest below mentioned books.... these are my personal fav, may not be suitable to you....

1> New market timing techniques... by Thomas Demark
2> Candlestick charting explained... by Greg Morris
3> Complete RSI book... John Hayden

Whatever you read, whatever you learn but dont forget that money is not made with learning 100 techniques/systems/methods... money is made through practicing one single method 100 times and getting expertise on it....

Being in USA, I have purchased and read lots of books and attended many seminars as well as watched many DVDs pertaining to trading.... nothing works unless u master one or two methods...
