Personally I found membership of the ATAA very useful (not for profit association) as a wealth of educational resources, meetings and contacts with like minded people. It has been a long hard road for something that is sold as being so easy. I wish you good luck.
Edwards and McGee - stock trends (from about 1930's)
Martin Pring
Van Tharp - all his books about expectancy, risk, reward and money management.
Mark Douglas (psychology) Trading in the Zone, The disciplined trader.
Basically I found that it is basic chart patterns, support and resistance, volume analysis. Psychology is very important. But the major part I find is the money management system, risk management, profit targets, time targets. Hope this helps.
