Everyone here should read this amazing book, free as it is so old, but the guy explains very well how he became rich by trading the tape.
www.trendfollowing.com/whitepaper/Edwin_LeFevre_Reminiscences_of_a_Stock_Operator.pdf The young boy explains how he could predict how the tape was going to move. Very well written and still up to date in the philosophy.
