Anyone know a good comprehensive guide for securities trading?

Question

I'm looking to read something written by someone very accomplished, not dumbed down material from one of the CNBC talking head types. I want to read someone that works at the highest of levels, such as George Soros (he unfortunaltely doesn't have any recent books on trading).

Thanks in advance.

Would like technical analysis to be included in the book as well.
