Re: Resources for Technical Strategies

I don't think Brookes is that great (unfashionable I know). Don't get me wrong I like the book and it has a couple of interesting insights but his book is 'difficult'. It has several errata and is not clearly presented. I wonder whether anyone that could not read price action already would be able to decipher it? There are far clearer, better organised and more complete treatments of price action imho. The grand daddy (and still a good read) is William Dunnigan: Gains in Grains; New Blueprints For Gains In Stocks and Grains and The One-Way Formula For Trading In Stocks and Commodities are available as a pair in an anthology.
