Hope i got his name right, maybe it is sam weinstein. I still think this is the best book on how markets act.
I was a loser trader for many years, this book helped me out big time. Its so damn simple too.
Basically a stock goes down, till it don't go down no more. Then it goes sideways. Then it goes up. Works for all time periods too, short term, long term, intra day. Also basic support resistance and breakout.
Learn this, and 3/4's the battle is won.
