The Disciplined Trader: Developing Winning Attitudes

Mark Douglas

Prentice Hall Press, 1990

Best trading psychology and self-help book
This is the best book I have read on trading psychology. I almost complete my second reading now, and I am "shocked" how many gems I missed during my first reading... The best advice I get out from this book is "there're no failures or mistakes in trading, they are ...

Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World

Mark Pendergrast

Basic Books, 2000

"Let's have another cup of coffee . . . "
Resting next to your mouse or keyboard - at a safe distance! - your cuppa steams aromatically. The morning coffee, whether at home or work, is the "kick-starter" of many a person's day. For some, it must be a special flavour, brewed to taste, yet often mixed with ...

The Complete TurtleTrader: The Legend, the Lessons, the Results

Michael W. Covel

Collins Business, 2007

Good read
Good book. A lot of traders get caught up in the fundamental garbage, especially when they start out. Focusing on the noise just takes your attention off of what really matters - making money. I can't cant the number of times when a crop report comes out that ...

Trend Following: How Great Traders Make Millions in Up or Down Markets, New Expanded Edition, (Paperback)

Michael W. Covel

FT Press, 2007

Great Read
I bought both of this author's books on the recommendation of Amazon. The first book, the Complete TurtleTrader was the one that I read first. I wish I would have read them in reverse. Trend Following built up the story. After reading Trend Following I went back ...

Hot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably in the World's Best Market

Jim Rogers

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007

He's Spot-On Again
When Jim Rogers speaks, I listen; when he writes something, I read it. If you go back years and years and check out what Rogers anticipated and predicted, he's been consistently accurate. His perceptions, opinions, and predictions in the 1980s and 90s, were spot-on. ...

Excellent!
I'm a mainstream investor who has a solid diversification of investments, including a little gold purchased in 2006. However, my understanding of economics and the global economy is sketchy and never quite fit together in my mind. At a minimum, this book will create ...

Candlestick Charting Explained

James "RevShark" DePorre

New Trading Systems and Methods (Wiley Trading)

Perry J. Kaufman

Wiley, 2005

Excellent material in 4th edition
Similar to many traders who own Perry Kaufman's 3rd edition of New Trading Systems and Methods, I ignored the publication of the 4th edition. Well, such oversight was my loss. Even a quick perusal of the work reveals a wealth of new ideas, techniques, and concepts. ...
