Are you looking to trade or invest, or both?
John Murphy's "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" is good. So is Martin Pring's "Technical Analysis Explained".
And not trying to be funny, but if you're just dipping your toe in to see what's what, "Technical Analysis For Dummies" might be useful.
My advice would be, don't get into day trading, unless you have more money than sense. But if you are a disciplined person, once you get the basics of technical analysis under your belt, you may find that channel trading/rolling stocks *might* work for you. Paper trade first. But if you have the patience to develop and follow proven/back-tested models, that fit your trading style and frequency (and psychological profile), that can be a very profitable trading strategy short to medium term.
