Default media to view/read...

I was recomended a movie, but have not got my hands on it yet:
The Casino – Martin Scorcesse

Books:
Van Tharp's "Trade Your Way To Financial Freedom is on my to read list.
Trading in the zone by mark douglas is in the post, i ordered it from amazon about 2 weeks ago so should be here soon

The 4-hour working week by timothy ferris is a really good read but only applicable once you are really successful and have strategies to mean you only need to work 4 hours a week. I.e. trading off dailies or weeklies candles.

Other interesting books are:
Winning ways by richard thaler (anomolies), and think and grow rich by napolean hill (psychology/philosophy). I read this one twice in 2 years

Enjoy

'High probability Trading' by Marcel Link is another very good read. Enjoyed it and did help my trading psychology. Have been making pips and keeping pips since then.

This list will grow over time and I invite everyone to add their favorite books to the list. Thanks!
Well I am taking your word on this and I just ordered it. Anyone else got this?

Smile For Beginners.

Among the many things my broker told me to do during my demo was to read the "Currency Market for Dummies". I found it very helpfull and staright forward. He also advise me to visit Baby Pips.

Default The book that has got me started

The FX Bootcamp Guide to Strategic and Tactical Forex Trading (Wiley Trading) by Wayne McDonell

I read this book before discovering babypips and I'm glad I did. I'm now going through the school, and so much more of it makes sense the first time round. The book is deep enough to deserve another read (after I finish school of course). There are a few shameless plugs for his online private forum (which is something crazy like a couple hundred USD per month). Other than that though, it is doesn't waste much time with many analogies and jumps straight in to ultra-conservative trading methods.

I did a demo about a year ago and managed to wipe most of my fun money in a couple weeks. Now with a bit of reading/study I'm hitting about 75% positive on my trades

Default "trading currency cross rates"

I recommend the book Trading Currency Cross Rates (Wiley Traders Advantage) written by G Klopfenstein and J Stein. It is be very easy to understand, assuming you already know basics on forex trading,. It has some interesting points of view...

Hi, Rahiman

Here's a fun t.v. series on trading and traders: Hulu - Wall Street Warriors

Altogether, there are 16 episodes in this series. If you want to start at the beginning, click "Season 1" for the first 6 episodes.

This is just entertainment --- it won't improve your trading. It's in the same category as the Michael Douglas movie "Wall Street", except that the t.v. series is about real people.

Clint

"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed cuts through, clarifies, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit."

Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) in "Wall Street"
