Topic: Trading guides,books,articles whatever (Read 811 times)

Focusing with your understanding in every books or videos that you read and watch, then apply it when you are already inside the platform, in your first attempt expect that things won't be that easy for you, chances that you'll lose is very high though with the help of those handouts that you read you'll be able to minimize your loses and continue to proceed facing the next chapter of your trade.

I agree with your point. Every field in the world requires practical knowledge much more than the theory knowledge of books, papers etc. Reading books can make you familiar with all the terms, definition and other knowledge but it doesn’t improve your skills, instinct and other practical skills. For that you need to observe the market, try new things yourself and get disappointed or face some losses before you can learn a couple of things. Everything has a rhythm and you need to get familiar to that rhythm of trading and investing by dancing along with it.

I didn’t read a particular book to understand what trading is all about. I do see some people that recommends books, but they are usually books that you will have to purchase and the last time I purchased a book, it was things that I could find online through Google search that I ended up paying for.

Some of them just grab things from online and join them together and pretend it’s something you have never heard of before, and the annoying part would be when the things you have on the book is something you know already lol. I learnt from my friends and by doing research on YouTube and Google, and reading articles.

I also recommend investopedia it is a great resource when it comes to find out accurate information about an indicator or even the history behind many of the terms we use to trade, it is not going to precisely give you a strategy to trade but that is fine because at the end of the day the person that should do that is yourself and not anyone else as it is not the smartest thing to follow the strategy of someone else blindly when you do not even know why he trades the way he does.

To learn trading from beginning and to understand all the concepts, I would recommend you “Cryptocurrency Trading and Investing: Beginners Guide to Trading and Investing in Bitcoin, Altcoins, and ICOs” written by Aimee Vo who was an ex investment advisor".

After you become familiar with all the basics and stuff, you can focus on stepping up by learning technical analysis for which you can refer to “The Art and Science of Technical Analysis” by Adam Grimes.

You can learn the rest by observing daily trades, getting familiar with the exchange platforms and other YouTube videos. In my personal experience, these days YouTube videos are very good resource for anyone to getting knowledge about crypto trading and for those who want to be expertise themselves in all trading strategies. But, you must make use of demo accounts alongside because just watching videos will not help anyone to groom over the time.

I learned a lot about trading from several ebooks and videos on the YouTube platform. And sometimes i discuss in the Bitcointalk forum
related to some knowledge that I get, just doing that alone my trading skills continue to increase. So to become a successful trader is
not necessary spend money to buy expensive and good books. Most importantly there is a strong will and desire to continue to learn trading,
it will open the way to be able to get knowledge from anywhere.

Thanks for the share up and i might check out this channel later on and see if those signals and analysis would really be worth on someones time not like just any other trader or bloggers out there
which do just set video and showing up basic or generic analysis that anyone can easily pull it off.

Its not bad to have these kind of references which you can really use it up for your own improvement.This market is unpredictable and getting some help with
other co-traders isnt a bad idea at all.

I am typical looks serious with practice without care with how many book have I read, I don't like must reading and watching with Youtube how to be success with trading or investing, I think is waste your time and most effective practice and try to analyze how and when have to buy or sell, not take care with how many tie you read book and article to analyze with coin price before trading.

Actually most of the good channels out there are trying to promote a particular platform with each video they make and hence they shift their focus from trying to give tips about trading and rather promote the features offered by the exchange or platform they are promoting. They are not wrong though because how would they earn if they only give quality content without any sponsors?

So, they are right in their decision but the trader needs to understand if someone is actually trying to give tips on trading or just promoting an exchange.

I haven't read much books, guides, articles or videos but whenever I need help like how to use stop loss then I just google it and the top results on google search are usually good and enough to guide me how to use it.

Completely agree on this because no matter how good the books and articles are they will always tell you how to trade and win but there are hardly any articles that teach you how to avoid panic selling, how to avoid trading and what to trade when the market is going down. These things you learn from trading yourself and it comes from experiences.

It's similar to how we grow in life and learn from experience while no matter how much you try and teach a kid who is 15 years you cannot give him the experience which someone would have at 30 years in life, no matter how good you teach him.

In the hype of late 2017/early 2018 I followed @philakonecrypto intensively. He offers regular TA analysis on Twitter as well as courses around TA, partly paid courses, partly for free.

I like his style how he imparts knowledge, you can follow him very easily and his analyses are consistently good. Might be worth a look. Here is his Youtube profile where you can already find many videos:

It is possible after all, there are different trading systems after all so it is expected that not all of trading systems are appliable and suitable in certain, it is up to us on what we will pick. Trading without indicator are possible after especially if we have foundation in technical analysis. Swing traders can trader without indicators, they are just identifying the support and resistance and they will entry near at support and they will exit in near resistance but I do not say that it is good to not use any indicators. I only saying that trading without indicator is possible but it doesn't mean I'm a part of those traders who do that.

For the 1800-1900s there were those market speculators who are geniuses, they did not have any indicator or technology to back them up as there are today, what I try to show is that before using indicators and technical analysis you have to try to understand what is happening or at what stage of the market is bitcoin.

Many out of ignorance bought at $ 20k because they thought it would increase to $ 50k and many technical analysts failed, why? because they did not know that they had reached their ATH and the Distribution stage was beginning.

If they don't know who Wyckoff or Livermore was, they can't say they made silly books, sometimes if we don't know who certain characters were we can't speak without knowing. It's like saying that Malkiel Burton's books are silly.

Cant imagine on doing trading without any indicators that would be used.How the hell you would make up on a position if you dont know on where you should start? neither on when you should sell and when you should buy?

Its just a dumb book because you cant trade of with just relying on your guts or intuition because theres no other way around excluding using fundamentals and price actions but we know that this doesnt work most of the time. How much more in crypto market?

There are lots of guides and tutorials for someone who do like to learn up trading.

I guess many people had experimented about approaching trading without the help of technical analysis. In recent times, one of my friend recommended a book of Jose Mosca which was Trading without Indicators: How to Trade any Market without using Indicators. Basically I am not interested in that kind of strategy for my trading because I do strongly believe that without technical analysis part in trading, I guess I could not have achieved what I have done so far in crypto trading.

For those, who want to experience something different but regardless of they are able to make profits or not, then they can go for this book to find out some basic skills on reading markets to predict market movements. It may be an interesting approach which requires some time to get practiced but my hectic schedule is not allowing me to try that.

The book that I recommend is basically those of Richard Wyckoff and Jesse Livermore, the reason is simple, they do not focus on technical analysis, but rather on how they saw the market, much of their analysis teaches a lot, you can find and download their books by doing a simple google search.

If you are more into audio and video type of learning I think taking up online courses which some of them are free is the best way to go. They provide an alternative way of learning and sometimes even interactive as it is mostly similar to a classroom type of education. There is no downside from this as the only thing I can think of is you being comfortable of what kind of medium is the best for you to learn as it will really vary person to person.

Do you know market wizard book? Currently I'm still learn the basic strategy for trading on this book. Also, to know more how to aplicate the strategy I always use youtube channel to make easier to use the certain strategy so as I can learn directly on trading view. I don't follow any channel on youtube, I just create a certain strategy on the keyword and I'll see it randomly.

There are various sources which can help you to increase your trading career. Youtube is one of the best out there. But, you need to be careful on this video sharing platform because not all the content is quality. Many of them are totally trash and do not give you any information. Some even guide you a wrong way, make you become lost, and misunderstand the true concept of trading.

I highly recommend you to watch Warrior Trading and ITM Trading. They are really helpful and intelligible. You can also watch Bloomberg and WSJ if you want to visualize a big picture of the whole market. Watching news makes you become more sensitive to the trading world and understand different parts of the economy

Probably the OP is trying to get a perfect views from those in the system then some random thought on the web because there are numerous of them with decieving intentions. Last night I googled on how to use the pay to many options but the results I was getting weren't convincing (giving me the easiest understanding on what I was searching for).

I later search for the same topic on the forum and got an easy understanding on the task, funny it wasn't that hard but an easy task that you would had probably guess how to do it yourself but just for precaution measures I had to research which was successful. All I'm trying to say is sometimes is better you get the answer to your question from users that had probably experience it themselves.

As basic rules, you need to learned somehow for you to developed your skill and knowledge
regarding to the business that you'll going to take.
Reading and watching related topic to trading will serve as your guide while you are collecting
information before you begin your journey.
Once you already have all those ideas and knowledge, applying will be the difficult part where
everything will be depends from you manage
to take every trading calls that you'll going to executes.

You can find thousands of trading books,blogs,guides even video tutorials on the internet and especially like Youtube platforms but what we can get from learning from there is just an idea but you need to implement them on real life to get experience for yourself which will make you better person in trading once you got more and more trades.

Same reason why some people will ask same question in a Telegram group or any chat forum that have been answered 2 post above their's, some people genuinely are too lazy to do a search on their own, they want all information they require presented to them immediately,
this is a trading board and by extention contains previous and present recommendations of different trading materials and learning sites, but searching is usually a big problem for some, it is better they have it at their beck and call,  so don't be surprise mate. 

C'mon is now in the digital era, where information is everywhere and it's easy to get. We just need to search on the google search engine,
dozens of articles will appear that provide good advice for trading. But my advice is better to watch on YouTube platform for getting tips
and advice for trading. Because it will be easier to understand, become easier is helped with an explanation with video.

I think if you want to really learn about trading to the fullest, you should rely more on practical videos rather than just reading them. Each of them either reading or watching trading guides have distinct advantages because reading about basic principles of trading would give you concise guide on making trading decisions and things you should avoind but watching the practical video will show you how to apply them live while trading on exchanges

OP, I'm assuming you're looking for crypto trading stuff, and if that's the case I don't know of any books on the subject, although I have seen a LOT of them available on Amazon.  I would be very careful if you're going to purchase one of those, because most if not all of them are self-published, and you have no idea what quality of advice you're getting.

I'd probably spend some time on Youtube if I were you, because there are an enormous number of videos dedicated to trading crypto, and even if the video creators don't know what they're talking about, at least it's free to watch.

Though it has nothing to do with cryptocurrency, I've recommended Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre before.  It's a fascinating look into the world of one of the first stock traders who used a form of TA--which is exactly what most crypto traders use. 

Another favorite of mine is When Genius Failed by Roger Lowenstein, and again, it isn't about crypto but if you got nothing else out of reading it, you'd figure out how dangerous leverage can be when trading.

Good luck in your search, OP.

You can find valuable information in the net since everything or every resources can really be found if you do just simply make a simple search and its not  necessarily for you to find specific ebook or blog etc.
as long it is relevant towards trading then that would already be a good signal for you to learn.

When you are complete newbie then better start up with Babypips.com. This place on where i did start and later on i did tend to watch various videos on youtube and do join up some trading platform discussions.

Its all there.. if you do tend to seek it out then you can surely find it.Its a matter of dedication and the will to learn and the rest would really depend on you.

Yes. This forum alone is a good source of essential information that would be very beneficial in trading. But of course reading alone or watching videos are not enough to gain knowledge from trading because everything should be put into action to be an effective trader. Experience is still the best teacher as they say because you will come to know the consequences or advantages of your actions once performed. And you would learned best in trading from the mistakes you commit and definitely learned from them and minimize from doing the same mistakes again.

In order to learn in trading, you need experience and practice before you become effective in making transactions in the market.

Knowledge comes first and you need to deal with those risks in trading so that you will know how trading works. I read a lot of information here in bitcointalk because I found this forum very precise in giving advice and prior knowledge towards trading. This forum is also an effective medium to learn as they are really giving their own opinions and experience so that you will know what strategies are effective and will work better. Books and videos are effective too, but for me, this forum really what's best for my trading career.

I just wonder why people are still looking for help from others when we are having this board. I mean if you just take time to dig then definitely you can find lots of previous suggestions for same kind of searches. After this forum, when we go for googling then definitely we do not need anyone to teach us about trading tactics and strategies; we can get everything for free of cost but only the requirement is, we must need to take time for going through them. In recent times, this community has suggested many really awesome thing for making anyone to trade like a pro. I am not sure how many people are making use of them but I am trying to bookmark them at least for future references when I may need them .

Knowledge of technical analysis is not so much, it is important that you need to select the materials to learn the best knowledge. Some online lectures and document files of some traders are often very vague and have a lot on google, but those are quality documents because I have read and tried them. I think you should spend a few tens of dollars to buy a book by Dr. Alexander Elder, called "The new trading for a living". I have learned a lot of experience from Elder's sharing.

You can find lot of crypto trading books on amazon with the real reviews from the users, so I guess if you have time better search on their website with the help of feedback system and kindle version is a lot cheaper than actual paper book so better read them on kindle app to save the expenses.And also some experts giving free and paid courses on lot of social media but I wouldn't recommend getting paid course you can still learn a lot of basics on free courses itself.

If you are worrying about trading tips,startegy and advice or what ever your information here at this forum you can get it.
But if you are looking for more information with actual you just might watch on videos on youtube about related in the trading.

Videos is always In trading information because it is easily to know what is Im looking for.

You just need to keep learning and looking for the other different sources that can help you to grow of being trader because you have enough knowledge that you can used in the trading.

Basically in reality the books of knowledge is a big challenge to apply on actual testing particularly on trading. because before you enter the fields of trading ,reading books will guides you going to the right place like straight pattern to open a small cheap of memory which is need to synchronize first to prevent malfunction aside from you tube.but it's nice to build up ,make your own way to experience more,meaning make your own books as challenge.

This are good sources, you can also check out b-ok.cc for free e-books, I would recommend you Robert Kiyosaki books with general business, I do not yet read books with trading because I am still learning the ropes about practical stuff.

You can see a lot of books regarding crypto and crypto trading life https://www.bestbitcoinexchange.net/best-book-on-cryptocurrency-trading/ but I do not recommend you to read it all (or if you can). There you can read how people become successful in trading and also how they work on it to pursue their trading life to the top and reach their goal.

I hope it helps you and you can find yourself where and how to start trading. Knowing those bad and good trading experience will make you more cautious when you are in actual and that it serves you to have the strategies to avoid it.

I've only ever read one book about trading from cover to cover: Bollinger on Bollinger Bands

I strongly recommend it. It was a game changer for me. Lots and lots of vivid examples of how to use BBs effectively, when to expect major breakouts, how to react to head fakes, etc. It helped teach me how to react profitably to markets rather than trying to predict them.

Understanding Richard Wyckoff's theories about markets is pretty crucial too. This is a really useful reader with figures: Anatomy of a Trading Range

Check out Robert Brain's free page too, lots of good resources: http://robertbrain.com/free.html

I didn't think that ebooks can contain a map to a scam, now it is. This is one of the reason why we could have just look through the internet coz we can simply validate the information that lies to it.

Yeah I've heard there are lots of youtuber try to mislead their viewers but for me I still recommend youtube BUT be a wise viewer and listener you might find some content creators influencing you very hard, always look for the right answer.

In the end it is still depends on what visuals do you prefer, books, internet, videos, charts, etc.

Depends on what type of learning you would like to make, I would say start with regular investment books first. I would say read Peter Lynch, he has amazing books about stock market and I know we are in bitcointalk so stock market is not loved all that much however he is talking about how he made his investments as a huge hedge fund manager which would help you out since you are going to make investments yourself, you can use the same logic and use it on bitcoin trading. Another one could be studying Warren Buffet for the same idea.

After all of that you could study on investopedia which has both stock market and forex simulations which gives you made up money but on real numbers so you are seeing how you would do in a real market but using fake money to do it. After that you could check how you would do on bitmex testnet as well. Plenty of ways you could test yourself basically. Only after that you could do the real one.

I visited Mike Malonet's videos on Youtube and I found it very informative. I gained a lot of knowledge which I can use in trading, he explained a lot of aspects that you need to consider before you start engaging in trading. The importance of Global Economy and other assets are included on the video.

It feels like he really want mass adoption of cryptocurrency to develop more as we are approaching in a more advancement of technology.

His approach towards the definition of crypto is really precise and accurate as I see that bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency that I'm rooting for. It is not that hard to understand his explanations, and if you really want to learn more in trading and become enlightened, you should visit his Youtube account.

Exactly for what you are looking? Trading guidelines or how to trade? There is different between advice and tech how to trade. You will get thousands of advice if you search on Google but don't know how accurate they are. So here is my simple suggestion, search on YouTube if you don't know technically how to trade in your native language. For caution, don't apply their strategy since it's only to learn how to trade. Second thing read more and more before start trade. Some articles mentioned above where you would learn something (although I haven't tried it). Then start with very small capital before start with huge amount.

Remember make diposite what you could afford losses, trading isn't any investment platform where you will get ROI. So you might lose your total portfolio (most of part of your portfolio) during trading. If you lose continuously then your account might near ZERO. Choose only couple of reputed coins instead of make trading with lots of coins. Because you should know background of your pair very well in order to gain profits. Don't be greedy and trade with patience, learn to be happy with small profits. We aren't your financial advisor, so do your own diligence before take any decisions or hire a professional financial advisor. Because we will not be responsible for any kind of loss.

When the first time I tried trading, I only rely on these forum, read some articles, and watch some Youtube videos. I want myself to grow in trading because I know that I have a huge potential in doing that and make a lot of money. That's good if you're seeking some tips and advice from this forum, there are a lot of people who are good enough to help you in trading.

Try to practice all of the things that you've learn so that you will know the actual experience in trading. There are a lot of things that you should experience in order to make yourself grow better in trading, you should experience some mistakes and failures.

Failures will teach you good lessons in trading, it will enlighten you on how to correct your mistakes the next time you perform trading. That's all I can say to you, NEVER STOP LEARNING!

To be honest, reading only will not help you much unless someone tells you live about fundamental and technical analysis and also reading charts, you will only learn if you physically see how it works and then you try it for yourself and ask questions from your mentor on the spot.
So if you have some local mentor that will be best for you.
Other wise i suggest finding training videos and tutorials on youtube they are better secondary option and you can learn alot.
Do not forget to trade on demo account first even after you have learnt most of the things.

I suggest you not to buy ebook everywhere because it might lead you from the scam, choose legit seller company like amazon. You can see it here, 100 Best Cryptocurrency Trading eBooks of All Time a bunch of trading ebooks in amazon and choose your desire book for trading but for me, I like the book by Jay Ross.

I don't recommend any Youtube video or even in any of blogs/articles because there are also a lot of them.

I suggest also try to search regarding the Etoro exchange platform, this is a good exchange for newbies that can't stand alone. They have a feature of copy/paste trading services in all newbies. Probably that will help you while exploring your idea regarding trading.

Please take time to dig on this board of trading discussion and also on youtube. Definitely you will be overwhelmed by the things you are looking for. Advises are always free on this world and this is the reason we are not following it. So, I doubt about your level of growth by making use of these materials to building you as a good trader.

Instead of looking for good advises. I like to suggest you to go on more practical way:
Open a demo account with an crypto exchange or forex exchange and set up your trading environment with demo money and all basic trading tools.

Learn basics of identifying trend reversal by candle stick or moving average strategy/tools and then try to make profits using it on your demo account. Commit mistakes and look for more strategies and ideas from google/youtube and on this forum and try to trade to explore new things. This is will provide you a perfect environment to learn practically; you never need to remember everything as you do everything on real environment. Slowly you will find yourself as a profit making trader then that must be a right time to get into real/live trading with small capital.

Hello,
I'm an eBook writer and I have written books on trading and crypto. I can send them to you at a fair price

I would recommend Mike Maloney's videos from Youtube . He talks especially more about global economy and gold . But he also talks about future of cryptocurrencies

Thank you all for your reply. I am trading the markets for 3 years not and i know a few things. The thing is that i am always willing to learn more about the markets when i have time and energy. I created this post in order to share some personal experiences about any good website,ebooks,whatever that we have read and gave us valuable information for being successful in the art of trading. It can be anything.

I have eBooks I could sell you.

IS great that you're interested in trading and want to learn more about it but just a word of warning, try not to believe everything there's said on here so think that some people might have some ulterior motives for saying what they're saying.

The things to learn would be analysis, charts, predictions, exchanges etc. Investopedia seems like a good start, here's a link that will give you an idea of what to expect https://www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/06/daytradingretail.asp

Jameson Lopp has a Bitcoin Trading Resources page on his Bitcoin Resources compilation here: https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information/trading.html

I can't comment on how good or bad the listed articles are though, but I personally use some of the tools listed.

You should find a lot of free resources about trading on the internet. I recommend starting with babypips website. As far as I know that walks a beginner all the way to knowing quite a bit about trading and markets (especially forex). Now.. trading is not about theory and even if you read all the books and articles on the internet you might still lose money. It is more about practicing and learning from your mistakes. Ultimately your goal is to get "in sync" with the market. Some traders can literally feel the pulse.

Hello, do you have any ebook,article,blog,person, whatever that has to do with good advice for trading and you want to recommend? Thank you
