There is a book called 'Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets' by John Murphy; this is regarded as a bible by most fund managers I know.
http://www.bigcharts.com is a great free charting website. Find your stock, then click advanced chart. For upper indicators I use bollinger bands and 2-line moving averages, 50 days. Lower indicators I use MACD, Volume+ and RSI, oh and make the chart big. Look at your stock/bond/commodity over several time periods, eg a year/3 years/ 5 years/ a decade.
