Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications by John J Murphey
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Technical-A...2491647?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174552012&sr=1-5
Is pretty much the bible.
While Goslin isn't a TA encyclopedia it is highly recommended by a lot of people and indeed, has a whole thread dedicated to it on these boards.

For those traders looking to design mechanical / statistical systems for futures markets, I would recommend the following:
Bob Pardo: Design, Testing, and Optimization of Trading Systems (or the newer version that just came out)
Any of the three books by Ralph Vince on money management for those interested in fixed fractional stuff.
Lars Kestner: Quantitative Trading Strategies
James Altucher: Trade Like a Hedge Fund
David Aronson: Evidence Based Technical Analysis: Applying the Scientific Method and Statistical Inference to Trading Signals
Some of Perry Kaufman's books are pretty good too.
Also for those with Tradestation, Thomas Stridsman's books (such as Trading Systems That Work) are decent intros to designing robust systems.
That's just off the top of my head. There are probably others.

in relation to futures trading, how about the following:
a. price action: dbphoenix's ebook
b. patterns trading: suri's trade chart patterns like the pros
c. trading set-ups: raschke's street smarts and nihabaashi's wrb analysis
d. vsa: tom's master the markets

I was told to only read books by people who actually trade eg Raschke, Schwager (ie his Wizard books), Darvas.

Before you look at any TA books you should start with Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas which deals with the psychological issues of trading - way more important that any TA advice.
That's true Rock....somehow i've tried to select an indicator to support my biasness. I'm planning to get that book but not sure if the "Disciplined Trader" is a better one. What do you think?
cheers,

I haven't read DT, but several of the other traders in the Puretick.com trading room have said Trading in the Zone is the way to go - I found it very useful and reread parts of it regularly. High Probability Trading by Marcel Link is also good. Hope that helps.
Marcel's book is a good one too. Thanks.
