used to read up on technical analysis by some famous author and implement their system.

All failed backtest and had stop reading their books...

Hi Luenbo,

It might not be directly aimed at the FX market, but 'Technical Analysis' by Kirkpatrick is quite a good technical analysis resource. I bought it a few years ago, and I think it's worth a read. See link:

Books By Howard Bandy including "Quantitative Trading Systems" really got me interested in automated systems. These books are aimed at Amibroker users, but most of the concepts covered, can be translated into mql4/5. 

PS. I agree with Doshur, I also had trouble replicating the returns in testing. Most of the strategies I read about seem to fall over sooner or later. Bandy, however, makes a good point of recognising when a system is broken.

Same thing may happen when analyzing market, we may miss something pretty obvious.

There is something odd about this scan of a patient's lung. Have you spotted it yet? How about the dancing gorilla on the right? It is not an everyday finding for radiologists, who are skilled at searching scans for tiny anomalies with potentially life-threatening consequences. But in one study, more than three-quarters of specialist tumour...
 

Just to start - I can recommend the following:
