I have participated in trading for more than 3 years. Honestly, everything is not as good as it seems even with many years of experience. Recently, I do manage to have a decent income in trading. My current profit is small compare to other traders, but I very satisfy because my efforts finally bring good results. To me, trading is an occupation as long as you treat it well and work hard for it.
There are a lot of trading books I have read so far, may be more than 15 (some of them are bullshit, honestly). I also spend my time on tradingview to understand others trader perspective. It is an excellent forum for traders with visual charts and big community. Those books below are those I find interesting and worth to spend multiple time to read. The more I read, the more I realize something. They are also suitable for newbie, too

3rd bookI often download free PDF here. It has all the book, except the brand news. You have to wait for a few days before it appears. I do spend some of money to support authors when I have a chance. Living in a low standard country does not give us much opportunity to interact with advance in formation
Hope you guys enjoy
