Reading List

[Pipcrawler]

No Forex specific books here, but :

"The New Market Wizards" by Jack D. Schwager
"Millionaire Traders" by Kathy Lien and Boris Schlossberg

For me, looking into the minds of successful traders and how they work is a great way to learn and gain different perspectives.

"Hedge Fund Masters" by Ari Kiev - A look on how a psychiatrist examines and picks apart top traders psychological to increase trading performance.

"Enhancing Trader Performance" by Brett N. Steenbarger - Awesome book and unless you have your own trading mentor or coach, this should be read even BEFORE demo trading. Actually, just read it regardless.

"The Complete Turtle Trader" by Michael W. Covel - A great story and a great example on the realities of systematic trend trading. Also, a great study on how psychology affects trading systems.

"Intermarket Analysis: Profiting From Global Market Relationships" by John J. Murphy - definitely required reading for those into fundamental analysis and discretionary trading. A good basis to understand these globalized markets.


This is just a few of the books I like, but some of my favorites as they have had the biggest impact. You may notice that most of them are psychology related in one way or another as I feel understanding yourself is the biggest obstacle to success in trading.

Hope this helps.

I think this is a great thread! Its always nice to be able to see what others are finding useful. I have a few e books that I have picked up from various places across the net about trading. I don't know how to post an attachment here, but if you guys want id be more than happy to post them. My favorite was Bird Watching in Lion Country. I have others though I'll just need to compile a list. Let me know if you guys are interested, Happy Trading, Raven

Just a thought, why not put a free ebook section on this site?

You forgot babypips school of pipsology

Is John murphys book on intermarket relationships still relevant? As intermarket relationships, I feel change over time so are do these relationships still hold?

The 1st 2 books are just for fun as they are easy reads but not really necessary.

And anything by Robert Kiyosaki is fantastic as well (although not specifically fx related). In fact I suggest you guys start with his first 2 books then move on to Rich dad's guide to investing for those who want to participate in the stock market.
