Canadian Association for Technical Analysis

Trading Books That Helped Me Get To The Next Level

In this interactive discussion, members will be reviewing the trading books that have helped them the most improve their ability to trade stocks, option, futures and commodities. I have my favourite authors identified in my book Dating the Stock Market.

My #1 book would be Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas. I learned a lot from that book. Please come prepared to talk about your favourite trading book(s).

This meeting will broadcast online on Thursday December 18, 2025 at 5:00 pm PT, 6:00 pm MT or 8:00 pm ET.

Canadian Association for Technical Analysis (CATA)

The Canadian Association for Technical Analysis (CATA) is a non-profit, group created for non-professional technical analysts with the goal of assisting traders and investors on their journey to learn more about technical analysis and managing their own investments. The group is interested in educational resource catering to trading stocks, options, FOREX, or commodities using technical analysis.

The club is active across Canada and offers valuable learning opportunities through meetings with prominent presenters and group discussions. Members are free to ask questions to these presenters, during or after the presentation, to ensure they understand the presented material.
