Trading for a Living
The first half of the book deals with the psychology of both the market and the trader. I didn’t fully appreciate this portion of Dr. Elder’s book until I began trading. This is the biggest obsticle of the trader. His insight has really helped me to understand the movements of the market and myself as a trader. Read more
A Beginner’s Guide to Day Trading Online
As for the positive points of the book, the title is dead on: “A BEGINNERS Guide to Day Trading Online”. The book is a great primer that introduces you to the world of day trading, trading jargon and terminology and, although briefly, charting and technical analysis. The book is well written and Toni Turner does a great job of explaining things in layman’s terms. Read more
The Complete Guide to Day Trading
This book was a decent, quick read. And it does a pretty good job at explaining the basics to brand new day traders. It also has some good organizational information in there for anyone. But if you’re looking for a book to explain specific setups, time of day, etc…..this isn’t the one for you. Specific trade setups really are just mentioned as a blurb more or less in the book in one chapter. Read more

Phillip Fisher searches for “growth stocks”, companies with superlative management (superior sales force, superior research and development, clear focus on the business) and he holds their stocks FOREVER.

Forex for Small Speculators
Usually I don’t strongly criticize a book that has information you can find elsewhere. After all, I can find the complete works of Shakespeare and about thirty versions of the Bible for free on the Internet, but that doesn’t make the paper versions worthless. But this book has nothing in it of any real use, certainly nothing to justify the outrageous price. Read more

High Probability trading
I’ve read some of the reviews (or should I say criticisms) of this book. They write that it’s for beginners, there are just a couple of setups, and the obligatory discipline “cut your losses” warning chapter. I think people are missing the big picture. Read more

Technical Analysis for Dummies
