There are only three books I reread each year Technical Analysis of Stock Trends by Edwards and Magee originally written in 1940's and two books by John Hill written in late 70's, Stock & Commodity Market Trend Trading by Advanced Technical Analysis
and Scientific Interpretation of Barcharts.
John Hill went on to create Future's Truth and his daughter Holliston got into trading as well.

Sometimes reading someone's ideas can generate one's own brain to develop something new. Like taking your equity curve and Bollinger band, backtest the dips and when they occur, add size expecting return to uptrend on closed out trades.
