Well, although I’m a book fan, but they ain’t gonna do miracles. It’s good to read them but meanwhile you should gain experience too. Anyway, check out this books:

  1. “The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham - It’s a classic that teaches you how to analyze stocks and make smart investments.
  2. “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator” by Edwin Lefèvre - It’s based on the life of a successful trader and offers insights into their mindset and strategies.
  3. “Market Wizards” by Jack D. Schwager - It’s a book of interviews with some of the world’s most successful traders, covering risk management, trading strategies, and more.
  4. “Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets” by John J. Murphy - It’s a comprehensive guide to technical analysis, including chart patterns, indicators, and trading systems.
  5. “The New Market Wizards” by Jack D. Schwager - It’s a follow-up to “Market Wizards” with new interviews and insights.
  6. “Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives” by John C. Hull - It’s an introduction to derivatives trading, covering options, futures, and swaps.

Actually, reading books will strengthen your theoretical knowledge but the market wants practical knowledge. Even if you earn theoretical knowledge, you have to apply this knowledge on the market through demo account to make it practical.

Books don’t help become a good trader, but would give you insights on how you become one.

I wrote a book “The Stoic Trader”, it’s a daily devotion of the trader and covers the whole of 260 trading days a year, whether a newbie, an amateur or a professional, i can assure this book should be a great help to everyone.

I get my inspiration from this book each day before getting on the screen. You can check it out through this link www.selar.co/uztq (Available in e-book for now but am working on its hardcover)

Trading books and authors have different objectives such as -
be a good trader
follow these trading systems
know a lot about price action and charts

Titles from each can be useful and maybe the best traders have a balance of knowledge from all of these areas. I would highly recommend certain writers -
be a good trader - Mark Douglas, Edwin Lefèvre (Jesse Livermore),

follow these trading systems - Larry Connors + Linda Raschke, Curtis Faith, Marc Rivalland, Alan Farley, Larry Williams, Hill + Pruitt + Hill, Michael Covel,

know a lot about price action and charts - Al Brooks, Thomas Bulkowski, Steven Nison,

Reading one book from each group in turn would be the start of a great development programme.

If you are very much keen to earn knowledge by reading books, then you can read ‘’Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets’’ by John J. Murphy. It will help you enhance you technical skill.

Books alone cannot make anyone a successful trader. They contain valuable information and provide a solid foundation for becoming a good trader.
