Joe,

You may want to pick up a copy of Martin Pring's Market Momentum. I found it
to be an excellent book on the study of momentum indicators. Also be very
careful in using just momentum in making your decisions. They usually work
best with a confirmation signal whether that be candlesticks, crossing a
moving average, etc.
