a book: Encyclopedia of chart patterns (second edition). This book is realy good, but it has many pages (1033).
I have not read this book but I am curious about its contents, ...
actually, sticking to the book will not necessarily make you a great trader, a reliable trader is full of experience but you can make a book as a reference and step in anticipation and is very important for beginners who are just trying to trade.
The very used of the book is see and learned from previous traders who have a good success from this business, they are sharing information so you can use it as reference from each trades that you'll going to execute.
You must find the right formula for yourself because each book has a different perspective from each author but still uses basic trading knowledge as a reference.
After reading those information from the book, it's time for you to position yourself, the knowledge you learn needs to use inside the exchange and see how successful it is for you.
