Welcome, Bender. I'd like to recommend a book... <a href="http://www.technicalanalysisbook.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.technicalanalysisbook.com</a> It covers the basics, in a fair amount of detail, but not too much for a beginner. And after you've read that, Trading For A Living by Dr. Alexander Elder This is not a technical trading board per se, but I would imagine that most SD users are technical traders, so you might find some good stuff here. Best of luck to you.
