[R-sig-Finance] Fwd: Testing technical indicators

[Jonathan Patton]

I just wanted to quickly thank everyone for their
input. I've had an interest in the financial markets
for some time now but have not explored any
statistical analysis.  Your comments have been very
helpful. 

Is there a place where the last GPL version of Crusher
could be downloaded? I would be very interested in
that. 

Also, even though I have been a programmer for about
10 years now, I have done very little statistical
analysis. Could anyone recommend a good book to start
with on financial statistical analysis?

Thanks, 

Jonathan
