It's not a book, but have you heard of a package called GeniusTrader?
(www.geniustrader.org)
It's a Perl toolkit for stock market analysis.
I looked into it a few weeks ago, and I haven't had enough time to
learn it yet, but it looks really interesting.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has used this or similar software,
and what they think of it.
