  Evidence-Based Technical Analysis (528 pages, $95 hardcover, 2006, ISBN 0-470-00874-1) by David Aronson, published by John Wiley & Sons.

Technical analysis has suffered because it is a discipline practiced without discipline. For technical analysis to deliver useful knowledge, it must evolve into a rigorous observational science. This resource establishes the methodological, philosophical, and statistical foundations of evidence-based technical analysis, and then demonstrates this approach by using 25 years of historical data. Experimental results presented here will show you that data mining is an effective procedure for discovering useful rules/signals.
