    I am looking for a book that attempts to explain intraday price action - especially for the ES/NQ/YM type markets. I am trying to gain a better understanding of price movements during the day.

    I would think a good text on PA would include subjects such as tests and failed tests, stop running, pivot points, etc.

    I have read about 50 books on the markets and can't recall any that attempt to explain the price action we see daily. Mainly they tend to focus on indicators, systems, etc. and don't really try to explain much about WHY the price is doing what it's doing.

    dis - Thanks, but don't think Handbook of Brownian Motion is what I'm looking for.
