thanks for the link to that TA book! been meaning to find something like this for a while
Cool, sure thing man!
That book is brilliant in that it is an academic work in a field in which academics typically frown down upon. It is basically one of the best books in the field. I use it as a desktop reference. Also, it's one of the required readings for the Charted Market Technician exam (a recognized certification in the field). A complete list as well as technical analysis topics can be found here:

Studying technical analysis is kind of like studying how to carve. It teaches you the methods and the ways of going about it, but without a system/strategy/plan, it's just an academic exercise.
If you want to be a good trader, I suggest reading the following books, each of which is written by a successful trader:
