Plummersimon Long ago formed a view that if someone was clever/good enough to be able to give me money advice worth listening to then they would NOT be writing a book. So unless they are writing from a yacht in the Caribbean(that they own from $$$ made in the market), drinking only the best French wine and eating caviar I take it all with a grain of salt! LOL
What I mean is that IMO the really good TA peop?s are to busy doin? it to write about it!
Actually I have read a fair bit & I find that stuff available all over the net for free has taught me more than the text books I have read. Further it is not until you develop an interest in a particular area that you need to go to the detailed texts. Eg if Elliott proves to be your thing then specialise in that.
In the mean time I also suggest you haunt the CHARTS thread which is where I have learnt more in 9 months than previous 20 years. The folks there have a genuine desire to HELP and teach. Maybe repost your request for books there?
