Topic: The Greatest Trading Books Ever Written (Read 88 times)

Yes!  I have read that book a couple of times.  Not only is it a great book on its own (the story is very interesting), but it gives you a good idea of how traders worked years before computers and the internet.  It's kind of amazing that they performed technical analysis back then.  We take charts for granted these days because they're so easy to generate and mark up with lines and such, but they couldn't do it so easily in the 1920's and even before then.  I would recommend ROASS to anyone trying to day trade.

Though these might not be strictly trading books, anything written by Roger Lowenstein is worth a read.  He's written a number of books which I've found to be fascinating. 

Two more books I would like to add up in this list is number 1: reminiscence of a stock operator. A very well woven book which describes a life of trader at the time when computer's trading were not practical and everything happened over a real stock ticker tape. Moreover I think another book which deserves to be here is day trading for living by Andrew Aziz. This book also focus on the risk management strategies which a trader should adopt in daily course of his trading. It lists out all things necessary for survival in trading.

Nothing about Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre? This book when you read it is just like a normal story telling book, the only difference is you learn something about technical analysis and is explained thoroughly that even newbies can understand. I've read a lot of trading books out their and the author's approach is completely different, it's not straight to the point but it has a bright way on going there. If you are a reader who gets intimidated by charts right away it will be best if you will read this book first before those mentioned above.

I highly recommended “The New Trading for a Living” by Alexander, it’s the first book I’ve read it covers really basic things but also goes into depth about indicators and really good trading strategies.

However, you can’t learn swimming by reading the book called “How To Swim”. Same applies in stock, forex and crypto markets. all it takes to learn trading is experience and hard work, I work more than 10 hours a day with a little money and still I find many and many More things to learn. give yourself time to learn this market and start trading with small capital with a proper risk and money management, these two things play very important role in trading or investing.

The only book that i have read back in the past is this "2) “Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits” by Richard W. Schabacker" when im
still trading up on stocks and forex and the rest is on ebooks in the internet.I forgot it actually since its all been deleted when i do reformatted my
pc.I can say that reading up these things arent that bad since you can really get the idea and you can really apply it on your own trading
system.The only thing i do suggest is that dont force yourself to mimic out those traders because not all ways or analysis would give out
same results on each of everyone.

Nice list, thus these books really make you a millionaire?  Yeah but definitely reading books can help you become a better investor. Books are good references as well specially if it’s written by experienced traders and veteran investors, you might not become an instant millionaire but you might learn from their experience.

STOP GOOGLING "HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE QUICKLY", or "HOW TO MAKE EASY AND QUICK MONEY"!!!
