It seems that I'll be doing a lot of traveling over the next few weeks, more than I'd like, but figured I'd use the time to finish a couple books (investment / trading, of course), and start something new, for me at least, EL.

These two aren't exactly recent, but as I understand it, they contain EL and are quite good reads:

Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures: Cutting-Edge DSP Technology to Improve Your Trading

Professional Stock Trading: System Design and Automation

If there is any input on these, or another book/s that you'd recommend, please do share...

I personally recommend just reading as much source code as you can. You can start with the hundred or so indicators and functions built-in to MultiCharts, and then start reading the thousands of indicators out on the Internet.

If you read them line-by-line, you can probably pick up the vast majority of the syntax without the need of a book.

Mike, strangely, that is what I'm doing right now! Just purchased MC today, I'm happy to say... I hope to be able to start some back-testing soon...
