So traders when I started trading I only knew about two indicators and nothing else after few days of trading I was in loss ;D

After that I googled ' top 10 books to learn trading ' and started reading books

Trading in the zone
Think and trade like a champion
trading for living
howard marks mastering the market cycle
Thinking fast and slow
now I am reading Little book that beats the market

I wrote this topic because I see many newbies and intermediate traders who have lost money and seeking for help , I think reading books is only way to gain knowledge and help yourself, don't go behind course and tips and waste your time and money , books are available for free just read and implement which Is what i did

which books have you read , how it is helping you

Actually, I haven't read any books related in trading but i'm looking for it particularly now that you have mentioned the books that might help us enhance our understanding and knowledge when it comes to trading. It will be a great new exploration that can everyone particularly newbies who's a bit confuse up until now. It's an amazing way to spend our spare time because it is fun, exciting and you can also learn a lot of things. It's also good for people who don't trust some information on the internet because they can just read some books and identify the answers to their questions. Thanks for sharing it.

I am not a fanatic or book lover, but I do love searching in google, youtube, I prefer watching things that I wanted to learn rather than reading books, it makes me sleepy , I can read books for just around 10 minutes then the rest I sleep. Anyway, but of course if there are books that I really wanted to read such as financial books, I am really interested on it but with trading and blockchain not yet.

I'm not a book fanatic either, but it's actually an important aspect of trading. Watching videos on youtube is not really helpful since everyone nowadays pretends to be an expert or guru, and they all want to sell you signals, courses, webinars, etc. I would steer clear of them.

That's a fantastic book to read where you are presented an insight in the minds of some of the most successful traders. One learns from those who successfully amassed wealth through trading different markets, not from clowns on social media no one ever heard of but pretend to be millionaire traders. Since when do millionaire traders want to sell you crap for $20?  :D

I do not like what is in the book some beginners certainly do not understand reading a book if it is not practiced right, many in this forum have provided guidelines for trading with books but if you want to practice directly then I prefer watching YouTube tutorials there very complete being a beginner is easier to understand than reading a book.
If you want to trade it is better to do it yourself directly without being dependent on others.

The Black Swan is probably one of the classics for everyone who don't have a lot of gambling experience and wants to trade.

I haven't read much books but I have seen a few good books out there. I've happened to chance upon A Beginner’s Guide To Day Trading Online and Mastering The Trade in my online searches but haven't really read much about it. It is good to rely on books, but it still limits everything that you could actually learn in forums and discussions, so imo, discussions plus experience are better. Plus, losing isn't really anything bad, it's actually experience. At least, you know whats the worst that could happen to you.

To be honest, I haven't read any books about trading, I learned about trading through videos is youtube, I watched quite a number of videos just to learn how trading and also learn different strategies that I can use and test myself if it works for me. In learning trading you can use books, articles or even videos it just depend on you if what works well for you in learning and in my case I preferred videos because I can see illustrations unlike books wherein you can't see a lot of illustrations.

Either books or e-books then those things are helpful but those are just good for terminologies and related stuff but for actual trade? No its not.

Even knowing the basics then you can start up in small amounts.You can learn up for yourself without strictly following those things written on the books.
Just let your intuition and decisions help you learn in the process.

Its your choice though if you would read up those things and i agree that it is way more better rather than tailing or joining up some shitty groups from nowhere.

Earlier this year, I wanted to learn about technical analysis (TA), so I search for the best basic TA book out there. Found one: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets by John J. Murphy. Even though it's written for the financial market, but as you may know that TA practically works for every market.

Sad thing is, I never got the time to read it lol. I ended up just reading a few pages about TA in babypips.com which already cover all the important basics. Now I don't think reading that book would give me a lot of value. More hands on experience, reading the market live is what I need most right now IMO.

This topic has popped up quite a few times since I've been a member of the forum, and I would suggest OP try searching the trading discussion section for "books" and he might find some of those threads.

I haven't read any "how-to" books on trading, but I'm very interested in books about finance and such, and one of the best ones on trading stocks was Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre.  It's a very old book and it's fictionalized, but it gives a great account of Jesse Livermore who was a great stock trader who used charts and his own intuition to make millions.  And the book is a great read, too.

Another fantastic one that sort of deals with trading is When Genius Failed by Roger Lowenstein.  It shows the danger of using too much leverage, and that's an understatement given what almost happened when Long Term Capital Management went bust.

Also, pretty much any book by Roger Lowenstein is a good one.  I've read a few of them, and they were all really good.

They didn't read books, most of these guys learned it because they started in FOREX market, the indicators in stocks and forex still works in crypto which is why they already knew how to use it and have knowledge in economics. All they do learn from then was the trading system to use that fits to their personality. Traders learned from this page www.babypips.com/learn/forex

You read so many books, I didn't even have to read more than 3 books to learn how to trade, the more books you read, the more you will over complicate things with all these theories people throw at you. Also a waste of time and money to buy them all and read them. However, I really don't recommend any books except universal principles of successful trading because it has all you need. Sure, you can blame your inability to trade correctly on psychology or whatever you wish but if you have a solid trading plan before the day starts then you don't have a problem.

In fact, to be good at trading, you can't help but fail at the early stages. whether you take the thousand-dollar course or you read a lot of different books. because in my group there are more than 8 people who are traders and we all went through different learning experiences. As a result, we still lost a lot in the first year, then we learned from experience. So we should invest ourselves a small amount of capital to practice trading, do not read too much theory, practice to help you become more mature and better.

I read books just for descriptions and also for broader knowledge of definition of things about trading.
It is just like going to school, they teach about the meaning of this and that and you use it as you grow.

But in deciding what to believe in will be a problem.
There are a lot of speculators out there and they are trying so hard to be believe in which I think could go wrong for so many times. (because they are trying too hard)
So I guess when it comes to that deciding moment, it should all be yours. Not because someone told you this will happen.

what do you mean ebook, I learned trading through sites, blogs, and video tutorials, there is a lot of knowledge that I got from it, from what I learned there are no trading techniques that are 100% accurate, but it was enough to help me in trading.

I never read book in my country the book with trading/ investment topic really expensive. Since first time I learn trade/ invest direct on the field ( market ) and I have really experience about lost and profit in real condition. People can learn from any way they want, just never give up and find your skill in the best performance in the right way ( no bot no signal ).

I like the book "Trading in the zone", it is a book that talks about the psychology of a trader quite comprehensively. Most of the important factors are mentioned by the author. However, compared to the vast psychological field, Trading in the Zone is still not comprehensive.

I've never really read one of those you've mentioned, OP.
But around the time when I was in a lost about trading, my friend gave me something to read, which was an e-book of how to become a beginner trader, I forgot the exact title, it's been years since then. But the content was mostly about how to trade, risks management, what to avoid and many more, well basically everything you need to know to get you started. Since then I like reading tons of articles whichever I find them interesting about trading to broaden my knowledge. It's also because I'm not a book person myself.

I might as well try one of those books you've mentioned, OP. It should be a good reference so that I could become a better trader.

I dont know why you are asking about a book about trading, we have gadget and we can access any sites of a blog and even here in the forum, we can learn a lot. You can simply watch video tutorials and read articles and I dont know why you still need a book.
Reading books about finance is great but it rarely happens to me now since I have a laptop and internet that easy to browse and search for what you are looking for.

yes there is a lot of information we can get in blogs and youtube in internet ,

the authors of books I have mentioned have more experience then our age and its really valuable to read, personally those books have helped me a lot in trading and investing , 

Unfortunately, the market does not always work, as it is written in books. But the basis for the work should be. For me, Robert Fisher’s book, Fibonacci Sequence: Applications and Strategy for Traders, is very interesting. Maybe someone should take a look.

I have not read any book even about what is analysis in trading, since the digital era I only searched for articles that can be found from Google or YouTube, I learned a little from some traders, actually you will not get anything by reading books about trading in crypto, many people say that the exchange technique in crypto is different from like forex, so if you want to learn to be a trader in forex register with a broker maybe you can get a free book, but if about crypto I think it's hard to find a book about learning how to trade crypto properly, because even great traders can suffer huge losses in the crypto world, because they always have surprises for all traders with unpredictable prices

I don't read too many books like you, but I practice more. I often go to small spots to practice practicing chart analysis and use demo accounts to open orders with my new strategies. Later, I recorded it in a book of those transactions and why I lost or why I won. That's one of the most effective ways I've ever done. Reading too much will not bring much good results in the transaction.

In all those books, I just read trading for a living. I realized that the author was right about the trade. The winners are those who are good at controlling psychology and working disciplined and good at managing capital. In addition, indicators appear a lot and you can find a lot of accurate judgments from outsiders. Therefore, before becoming a good trader, you should find ways to learn how to manage capital well.

I've read the books that i lended from my friends named "Day Trading" by pete manlow and it's really nice book it contains all the fundamentals trading that we have to know, even he is not doing it with cryptocurrency but everything on the books can relate for cryptocurrency trading

I will take note of these  books that I will read once I will be decided for trading, anyway, if you cannot read books there's also youtube tutorial which is available, which for me is more convenient rather than reading books as with this you can be able to know the strategy live, and you can pause all the time when you forgot or when  you want to do it while they are doing.

Has anyone thought of cryptocurrency just before 2009? I mean the idea of it can be a good topic of a book. Talking about resources of knowledge in trading, crypto market generally, internet contains all of the things we need. On top of that is the visuals and real life examples because it updates every time when some changes gets in. Books are outdated although it is a great source of information and knowledge, we must accept the fact that the world evolves on technology now.

Honestly, i tried reading books or e-books in trading and it doesn't really help me to minimize my losses because it is still better to learn trading on actual that you personally can see how trading works, that is why asking a friend personally about trading and watching tutorial videos in YouTube is still the best way for me to learn more about trading and to minimize your losses.

I already read a book about trading in cryptocurrency and trading in another kind of business. Still, that kind of list of suggested texts is the first time I saw that reading those kinds of genre gives a lot of ideas too because those are hard copies and verified before being published by the publishing house and the contents are already filtered if the data recorded is authentic and legit. Still, we have a different option if we reading is not our hobby there's an internet, google, and youtube that you can search more a lot of things all about in trading, there is some guides offer by the internet, and they give a seminars and online lesson to the beginners and experts who want to increase their knowledge in trading.

i learnt trading by my self watching youtube videos and some free course ,
i like to read books on investing i had read intelligent investor book it was good . i like to keep it simple, reading more books i think it makes things complicated, i like warren buffet books more  i dont want to follow many authors as it makes things complicated  

You are really right that after watching a lot of interesting videos on YouTube you can learn not only how to trade.  I read the information on the forums, especially where I can ask counter-questions if I don’t understand something, and visual lessons using Youtube channels have a very beneficial effect on my learning.  I do not want to say anything bad about books, but to learn with them, in my opinion, is only a waste of my time.  I like to read books on other subjects.

For this hi-tech era, i would say that books are already on the verge of extinction yet we've been already on this age of mobile phones and tablets/laptops where these things wont really be that relevant anymore
except for Education sector where these books is highly needed.

Going back on whats being discussed about learning on Youtube then this is the step ive been doing wayback.If you cant understand anything you can always look for those terms
and i do much prefer on seeing it visually rather than reading any scriptures.

I like to read about trading often, but it's not necessarily from books but more often from places like Medium or other similar platforms, and I like watching YouTube videos from several crypto-oriented YouTubers as well, though one of the Medium authors that I read pretty often is CryptoCred (click for link (https://medium.com/@cryptocreddy)), who mostly focuses on Bitcoin, some starting points for beginning and more advanced trader and also has several decent articles on leveraged trading as well.

I also agree that much of the material you need is available free-of-charge online. You don't need to go around paying money for special videos or materials, and often times you can find that same information elsewhere online, perhaps in a different format of explanation.

hi tech era books - e books and audio books are available which can be used from laptop or mobile , I was even thinking like that books are just amazing reading is best then audio books or anything nothing can replace it , book readers agree with me

There are many books on the topic but i think reading articles and attending school programs such as Crypto School, Newscrypto.io is much wiser. There are also many cool youtube channels and tutorials.

What do you say about the difficulty of find a book about learning how to trade crypto? the fact that both forex and crypto traders have certainly suffered huge losses. No matter how small the discussion in the book, surely it still gives new insight to us and although crypto is full of surprises, there is certainly a useful knowledge in the book.

having knowledge before trading is a good thing. but, in this case, you need to have experience and try it. to be honest, there aren't many books that I read other than guidelines on how to trade in the market, or exchangers, and find out information about trusted exchangers. Next is, try to trade because the experience is the best teacher.

Although I have not read the books of global writers or books in English, I can say that I have read many successful books written in my native language. I write the names of these books in English instead of writing them in Turkish but I want to know that all these books are written in Turkish.

Lots of learning by reading books is very good, moreover the aim is to broaden your horizons in trading crypto. So far, I have only joined the trading community such as in telegram and often watch YouTube to learn the strategy of trading or sharing information in this forum, yes this is quite helpful for me.

Allow us to mention a book we wrote about trading crypto: From Zero to Lambo (https://gumroad.com/l/ZDRVi). We made it as simple as possible for beginners to understand.
