I think Jeff is a full time trader, but I can't say for sure.
As far as books go, here are the ones I use:
Bulkowski, Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns
A "must have" for pattern reading, because Bulkowski is the only one out there, (that I have found), who has made an actual quantitative study of the success rates of each chart pattern. Not perfect, but good.
Dorsey, Point & Figure Charting
If you're interested in PnF, this is "the" book.
Edwards & McGee, Technical Analysis of Stock Trends
Either this one or Murphy is a "must have" for analyzing the markets in general.
Farley, The Master Swing Trader
If you're serious about trading, check out Farley's web site, http://www.hardrightedge.com , and get this book. Not for beginners!
Murphy, Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets
[See Edwards & McGee]
Nison, Japanese Candlestick Charting Nison, Beyond Candlesticks
The first Nison book is a "must have" if you want to understand candlestick charting. (I find that most folks, who get their info from free online sites, really don't have any idea what they're doing in this area.) The second is a good supplement, but you won't get much out of it unless you've really digested the first one.
