Hi,

I am getting a lot of queries regarding the books I have gone through & may help all of you
as a beginner in Technical Analysis. So here is the list I am posting section-wise:

For Basics of Technical Analysis (in a layman language):

1. Module No. 2 on Technical analysis by Zerodha Varsity - it sums up everything

from candlesticks to support/resistance to a few basic indicators

2. Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading

Methods and Applications by John J. Murphy

After going through the above books, you will come to know what are the topics that
appeal to you the maximum and you feel the need to dig deeper. Here are the books
section-wise:

off without reading these:
