Wow it is great income and i have opened your thread, unfortunately it is for forex trading and it is not suitable for me because i must stay on computers, but i am freelancer on trading activity and trading altcoins are more suitable for me than forex trading. How if you make thread about trading bitcoin or altcoins? It will be better because we are comunity of cryptos coins.

I just read some article and techniques when it comes from trading i learned trading from this forum which i read some topics about trading discussion and more things is you just need to follow what you read and then don't spoon feed your self too much and try to analize the situation before you are going to trading.

There are lots of good articles all over the net that's why I haven't read any books however I listed some titles that you guys recommend for future reference. 

My other source of knowledge about trading are:

1. Trading discussion on forums (bitcointalk, reddit etc.)
2. Youtube Vids
3. Experience

I read some books in Portuguese, but it was difficult to understand about the trends of the actions, patterns of reversion graphs and Bollinger Bands. So I decided to take a course and read a lot on websites and blogs that talk about it. There's a lot that needs a lot of study. Gaps and Fibonacci Theory (Fibonacci numbers) are techniques that in my opinion you need to study a lot.

For the purpose of trading haven't read any books particularly, with a small amount started to trade with my own strategies. This in a short time gained me good experience of handling higher amounts. So make yourself strong and go with your plan than executing someone's written experience.

Not everyone is as lucky are you are. Having knowledge from reading books have its advantage. You can learn from the experience of others and know what not to do before hand. Experience is the best teacher in trading if you have money to burn. If not, best to have some knowledge of it before getting some experience.

i have never read any books about trading and i do strongly believe that reading a book is not going to help you become successful in trading.

you only need two things that you can only get one of them from books: basic knowledge about how to trade and terminology like what bid, ask, orderbook means and also the most important part is experience and information!
You are contradicting yourself in your own post, you say reading a book is not going to help you become a better trader, and then in the next paragraph you state that you can in fact learn things from the books.

books and online courses are fine and all
but as soon as you can differentiate bips from pips I suggest you open a demo account
or several and trial and error it
once you are comfortable -DEPOSIT
trading with real money is a diferent ball game too,decisions are harder to make and the trading strategies are not the same

I think a mix of both is good for the learning process. I never read any book on the trading, but if I want to learn any type of knowledge, I prefer to go to my local library and invest some time to find a good book.

As soon I will finish the book, I would try to get a demo account on reliable website and continue my learning curve with site like Investopia or Youtube.

I think book wont help you a lot because it is only contain small part of trading strategy, i learned trading from internet and youtube and practice in forex demo, but i think the better way to learn is through experience
I agree book won't help on trading but doesn't mean we don't need basic consept of trading are like analysis tecnical or fundamental, so we need read about that and we can do practice about it, then the experience trading will become best teacher.

I haven't read any book but I have read some articles/blogs in the internet and I am also reading/participating in some forum discussion about trading like here. Well, I can say that doing the above listed helped me in trading but like they say practical knowledge/experience will be the most helpful in trading. Just have patience and learn that there will be some ups and downs in trading. If you're planning to start trading I suggest that you should use an amount that you can afford to lose.

Though I read trading books before but I do not understands fully until I do the actual trading in cryptocurrency. It is much better that while reading, you also doing the actual trading just for experiene. Start with small amount only, when you lose its ok, add it to experience for you to become confident.Also reading here on forum help me a lot. Good Luck.

Never did I read a trading book but i have read some online tutorials before.
Which trading book can you recommend to a newbie trader like me?
 
I don't want to waste time just reading the whole blah-blah of the author, i want to read an ebook that show the exact way how to do it directly without swaying and say something else. its a wasteful time. any recommendation?

I won't recommend you any trading books, because I learned everything I know from the internet. I don't think that you need to read old school paper book anymore.
Especially when trading nowadays moved to cyberspace. There are awesome online portals for businessmen, traders and investors.
For example: Investopedia, check it out - you will probably find everything you want to know about trading/investing there.
Agreed, investopedia is a good site, i always read investopedia so far this is the best site to learn trading or investing in my opinion.
Actually i have never read any books about trading or investment, i trully believe that experience is a good teacher though you must have basic knowledge about it, but you don't have to read a thick book like people said above the book is not really going to help much. if you don't understand or get stuck just google it.

I've only read two books regarding trading, I think for the most part they somewhat helped me create a good mindset when trading, but I feel as if I learned the most through trial and error.

The books I've read are 'Trading in the Zone' and 'Harmonic Trading Vol 1'

What books have you read to get better at trading? Did they actually help you?

i have been thinking about reading some books and other resources to learn more about trading and i actually checked some of them out but the problem that i found was that it was too long and it needed a lot of time, a time that i do not have.

and reading some of the comments here i think i did good because it is not really going to help much.

i've read few books which was given from seminar i have followed and all is just contain about theory and a little bit their experience,it's useful but only if certain condition comes while if you're really trading something strange will happen and you will only resolve it by your own not by using that theory
i also read some book related to trading and they really help me in trading and specially in starting a business, but i think experience is too much important for trading, with out experience you cannot become a good trader and for getting experience you have to continue your struggle and to be in touch with the field in which you are going to invest.
