  2. encyclopedia of trading strategies
    by katz & mccormick is ok. the title is a bit misleading ( in that it doesn't actually list trading strategies ) but it provides a good framework to begin with.

  3. The best thing you can do is learn how to lose...

    I am not suggesting that daytrading success is impossible, it is just that the losses (and wins) are frequent because of compressed time...

    You must learn how to take lots of losses in a row with no ego... use non-trading experiences to get you into the correct unemotional mindset, then you will be ready for daytrading...
