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.
