Not really. My guess is that brian is trying to find a book on the use of
statistics applied to stock trading.
Haven't read any books that deal with probability of trades and measuring
them. The most advanced use of statistics I know is the afore mentioned
Van Tharp book and other books that deal with money management (but not
with probabilistic outcomes for set-ups or patterns (if that's what brian
is looking for)).
Some indicators like sigmas and linear regressions are statistical
indicators. David Elliott uses a particular formula for Bollinger bands
and transforms them into statistical indicators (stocks that break certain
levels are more likely to continue up or down trends, etc.) because they
fall outside the bell curve of non trending stocks.
Check David Elliott stuff, I think he is trying to apply statistics to
trading, but the only book he wrote is his 1998 guide to make a million in
the crash of 2000.
