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.

While no one is going to write a book detailing specific system strategies that are currently working, you will find some people kind enough to share old and no longer money making systems(i.e. read the posts on EliteTrader by Acrary). You should also be able to find some interesting academic papers on the web.

But for learning how to be a good systems developer in general, I'm not sure a book could tell you much more than what you'll find browsing the net and using your own common sense. (for prop strategies, not execution engines)

p.s. chart reading, even though non-quant, often uses the same underlying logic as many quant-based models(...trend following or mean reversion).
