If anyone can recommend a good day trading book, I'm happy to read it. I don't think one exists.

You can start with...
Tools and Tactics for the Master Day Trader by Velez & Capra (the Pristine.com guys)
Charting by Michael "Tiny" Saul (of Trendfund.com) is a good quick intro to Technical Analysis
Come into my Trading Room by Dr. Alexander Elder
The Day Trader's Advantage by Howard Abell
The Market Maker's Edge by Josh Lukeman
Profitable Day Trading with Precision by George Angell
Japanese Candlestick charting by Steve Nison
... and some of the other books in the reading list sticky

I have read all of those except Japanese Candlestick.
I don't need to read about how I need to cut my losers and let my winners run, or how I need to find a system that matches my personality, or any of the other standard meaningless day trading cliches. I am also not interested in reading chart tea leaves by eyeball metric.
Give me something I can use, that is quantifiable, verifiable, and actionable. The real problem is that anyone who has good ideas about system development and evaluation isn't going to write a book about them.
