Not the E-Book variety! But actual trading related books!
I thought it would be good to compile a list of useful books people might like to read whether they are new to trading or been at it for years.
If people put the title of the book and who wrote it and why they think it would be worth a read. Then if people know of a free online version post the link.
So here are some I would recommend:
~ Reminiscences of a Stock Operator written by Edwin Lefevre
I found this book a bit of a tough read due to it being so old (1923) but I could relate to so much of what was said, it sparked several ideas in my head and helped me understand more about the approaches needed to succeed.
~ You Bet: The Betfair Story written by Colin Cameron
Not so much trading but does provide an interesting insight into Betfair in the early days and how the idea came about. I did feel it was blowing Betfair's trumpet all the time. Only a page or 2 was used to discuss the two major changes since Betfair launched i.e. the Premium Charge and the Betfair SP. At times it is critical of Betfair but on the whole you get the impression it is slightly biased. But if you are interested in business you will find it interesting, and it finishes up with some interesting views about the future focus of Betfair by the founders. It does not discuss trading etc.
~ Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders written by Jack D. Schwager
and
~ The New Market Wizards: Conversations with America's Top Traders written by Jack D. Schwager
I found both of these books interesting but I read them before trading full time, I think I need to read them again to fully appreciate them but would recommend them.
~ Trading In The Zone written by Mark Douglas
Just started reading this and already very impressed.
