[Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management](https://www.amazon.com/Trading-Living-Psychology-Tactics-Management/dp/0471592242) by [Alexander Elder](https://www.amazon.com/stores/Alexander-Elder/author/B000APCUD0?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true) is an excellent introduction.

I haven't read the later edition (The New Trading for a Living) or his Study Guide yet, but I'm sure they're worth as well.

In any case, with Bitcoin, being such a highly asymmetrical asset, its very difficult to beat long term holding.  Being really methodical with TA and having a good money management strategy might make you increase your fiat capital, but that capital might likely buy you less BTC later.  Long term holding it'll be a better strategy in most cases.

Thomas N. Bulkowski's was the one I used, but I know that Jack D. Schwager's is also very good.
