Some suggested reading to cure those “blahs”.
I have written about those year-end “blahs”, and gave some suggestions. Reading that great trading book was one of my suggestions. Since I did that I thought I would share a list of my favorite ones that you might find useful:
- Reminiscences of a Stock Operator – A classic. Written in the early 20th century. While not technical in it’s nature, it is essential for the concepts of trading and psychology. It is written in story form, and a fun read.
- Adventures of a Currency Trader – A modern day version of “Reminiscences”. Well written, and an easy read. It focuses on psychology in an entertaining way.
- Martin Pring on Price Patterns – A great book on price action, and technical set ups. You will find that just one of two of the set ups he talks about in this book should be enough to put you on the road to success.
- Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns – Every professional needs a reference book, and this one is great. More patterns than you will ever need.
All of the above books are without a doubt some of the best money I have ever spent for trading. I have dozens of books in my library, but these four stand head and shoulders above the rest. You will find yourself going back to them over and over as your trading progresses.
