Here is a free book that helped me a lot with money management, off topic alot but some great rules and the price is right.

That's one of the best books you can find on trading regardless of the price (which is free in this case). It gives you the most important core concepts that "a winning loser can have"!

Here's a pdf for those who like prinouts.

It was an exchange problem. My tick, adv, decl only worked for seconds at a time before it would go dead.

If every member at ET got hold of this book and read a bit at a time and learnt some of the "flaws" pointed out, there would be a lot of happy campers enjoying the benefits of disciplined trading.

Quote from smilingsynic:

Tape reading by Wyckoff is free on Google books (anything from 1923 earlier is considered by federal law as in the public domain). Online, see also Professor Hank Pruden's many articles (teaches technical analysis/Wyckoff trading at San Francisco State University--not all of us academics reject technical analysis!)

Most of Taylor is hard to read (great trader, bad writer). Linda Bradford Raschke has written a good summary of Taylor on some online doc called "Tape Reading". That might help before tacking Taylor.

i used to wonder how some people would call high low open close for the day when it was all i could do to tell if the market was going in one direction or the other. after reading taylor, it makes sense. they're simply calling buy days, sell days, and short sell days.

there's a nice synopsis of taylor's work in adobe acrobat format on the net. if i remember the site, i'll quote it.

edit: found it. trading naked library.
