Stock Trading and Other Things

Please help me choose a book on technical analysis/day trading?

I'm ordering books on Amazon. I'd prefer a book that outlines all the different technical tools for trading and how they can each be used (oscillators, moving averages, candlesticks, etc), and maybe some general tips on day trading. There are just so many to choose from and there seems to be few huge must-read classics like there are among general investing books. Thanks a lot
Any others in case? Some guy commented that this book is outdated because of today's advanced online trading...
as for the second one, people are giving it 2/5...
"This book promises to take you into the Promised Land of traderdom but leaves you in the desert. It's up to you to find the water. The author may give you some pointers as to where you might find it but you may easily die of thirst trying to get there.
At best, this an introduction to the author's trading methodology. It broadly covers her different techniques: Elliot Wave used in conjunction with oscillators, Fibonacci price projections and retracements, Gann time and price analysis, reverse engineering of indicators to project price. Sounds good doesn't it? Well don't hold your breath. The author keeps the secret of the Holy Grail to herself. If you want the answers, you will have to take her seminars or subscribe to her service."

1. This is the bible:

2. Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional: Strategies and Techniques for Superior Returns (McGraw-Hill Trader's Edge Series) [Hardcover]

why don't YOU find one,,you will NEVER discover the HOLY GRAIL of ANY trading book because it simply doesn't exist and never will....

3. The more indicators you throw on a chart the more mixed signals you'll get and you'll end up paralyzing your ability to trade. Don't ask how I know this. ;)

I suggest using volume profile to help spot market structure (volume backed prices as support & resistance). Beyond that I use simple moving averages to help visualize the trajectory or slope of the trend.

One lower study for me and that's a slightly modified slow stochastic. I like stoch because it tends to smooth the price noise yet still give a nice representation as to "oversold" or "overbought" conditions when market structure is taken into consideration.

This is my favorite book on market profile (same as volume profile for all purposes). This is what got me started looking at the market as a 2 way auction. It changed my perception of almost everything.
