Which Trading Books Have You Read, Have They Helped You?

[harizen]

I've only read two books regarding trading, I think for the most part they somewhat helped me create a good mindset when trading, but I feel as if I learned the most through trial and error.

The books I've read are 'Trading in the Zone' and 'Harmonic Trading Vol 1'

What books have you read to get better at trading? Did they actually help you?

None of the book or articles about trading I read so far. What I do is to learn the basic knowledge and considered that as a startup point. Once learning those basic knowledge, I automatically learned other things by improving those basics into an average one then so on up to the point I have learned from now. Also I currently joined in a trading local group in a social media that somehow teaches me when Im still a trading newbie. Thanks to them.

Reading trading books is a good reference for traders wanna be. Although please remember that advices, recommendations and suggestions that you will encountered there are not meant for just reading only but do it also on actual trades.

I have read Stan Weinstein’s Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets which is my favourite, I amn't fan of reading but good traders must need to read more. I amn't professional trader but sometimes I trade myself. This book is really good to help you. Also I would say that statistics aren't so much important because they are past and future is always different so everything depends on your luck but of course it doesn't means to don't look at statistics.

i've read few books which was given from seminar i have followed and all is just contain about theory and a little bit their experience,it's useful but only if certain condition comes while if you're really trading something strange will happen and you will only resolve it by your own not by using that theory

I think book wont help you a lot because it is only contain small part of trading strategy, i learned trading from internet and youtube and practice in forex demo, but i think the better way to learn is through experience

reading a book to learn trading tips and tricks is a bit of a tedious work because it takes a long time and you won't get enough experience out of the books and experience is all you need to be successful in trading.

try to read more of analysis stuff, preferably go and see how https://www.tradingview.com/ looks like.

I think this is a good advice, I have not read anything about trading books because I think they are somehow not that effective in terms of trading altcoins.  There is some tips here in the forum where if followed can give you enough profit in every trade you are to made.  I forgot the thread but it is very simple and realistic approach on trading.

I havent read   any  books  regarding  on trading  and  other  things related into it but  i do  some  research the  important things  that  must be  learn  into trading because   most  of  informations  are already  on the  net  which i could assume that  i dont  need to  read  any  books because  they are already here, they are  just the same though  but theres  no wrong  on reading  books  hence we  do  start learning  on those   sources.

me as well but i keep watching some good video related inside youtube to get more ideas about investing my money
because its really help me out to assess what particular investment to support to avoid big loses i will try to look
for a good books about it if i got time.

Watching  videos  would  be a  great thing to learn too  because  they could actually  explain visually  regarding on trading which  you could  easily cope  up and   put  up  in to your mind   and  could  really be used  on  your future trades thats why its  important  for us to be responsible if you are  eager to learn  up trading.   Important  informations are everywhere  all you need to do is  search  up those things and  have time to spent.

i also read some book related to trading and they really help me in trading and specially in starting a business, but i think experience is too much important for trading, with out experience you cannot become a good trader and for getting experience you have to continue your struggle and to be in touch with the field in which you are going to invest.

I won't recommend you any trading books, because I learned everything I know from the internet. I don't think that you need to read old school paper book anymore.
Especially when trading nowadays moved to cyberspace. There are awesome online portals for businessmen, traders and investors.
For example: Investopedia, check it out - you will probably find everything you want to know about trading/investing there.

i have been thinking about reading some books and other resources to learn more about trading and i actually checked some of them out but the problem that i found was that it was too long and it needed a lot of time, a time that i do not have.

and reading some of the comments here i think i did good because it is not really going to help much.

Agreed, investopedia is a good site, i always read investopedia so far this is the best site to learn trading or investing in my opinion.
Actually i have never read any books about trading or investment, i trully believe that experience is a good teacher though you must have basic knowledge about it, but you don't have to read a thick book like people said above the book is not really going to help much. if you don't understand or get stuck just google it.

[bittraffic]

Never did I read a trading book but i have read some online tutorials before.
Which trading book can you recommend to a newbie trader like me?
 
I don't want to waste time just reading the whole blah-blah of the author, i want to read an ebook that show the exact way how to do it directly without swaying and say something else. its a wasteful time. any recommendation?

[clickerz]

Though I read trading books before but I do not understands fully until I do the actual trading in cryptocurrency. It is much better that while reading, you also doing the actual trading just for experiene. Start with small amount only, when you lose its ok, add it to experience for you to become confident.Also reading here on forum help me a lot. Good Luck.

[traderethereum]

I think book wont help you a lot because it is only contain small part of trading strategy, i learned trading from internet and youtube and practice in forex demo, but i think the better way to learn is through experience

i learning directly from internet and for first time i know trading bitcoin, i am search on the website related with bitcoin and finally i can read some info in several website and after that i am make my first trading on poloniex and got small profit  i still continue reading in some blog/website because i think its really important to us and its useful when we are make trading.

[eagle10]

Books about trading is useful, yes, but practical knowledge is still the best for me. Gaining from experience makes u more skillfull.

[Wandering Soul~]

I haven't read any book but I have read some articles/blogs in the internet and I am also reading/participating in some forum discussion about trading like here. Well, I can say that doing the above listed helped me in trading but like they say practical knowledge/experience will be the most helpful in trading. Just have patience and learn that there will be some ups and downs in trading. If you're planning to start trading I suggest that you should use an amount that you can afford to lose.

I agree book won't help on trading but doesn't mean we don't need basic consept of trading are like analysis tecnical or fundamental, so we need read about that and we can do practice about it, then the experience trading will become best teacher.

[chesatochi]

I think a mix of both is good for the learning process. I never read any book on the trading, but if I want to learn any type of knowledge, I prefer to go to my local library and invest some time to find a good book.

As soon I will finish the book, I would try to get a demo account on reliable website and continue my learning curve with site like Investopia or Youtube.

[veleten]

books and online courses are fine and all
but as soon as you can differentiate bips from pips I suggest you open a demo account
or several and trial and error it
once you are comfortable -DEPOSIT
trading with real money is a diferent ball game too,decisions are harder to make and the trading strategies are not the same

[romero121]

For the purpose of trading haven't read any books particularly, with a small amount started to trade with my own strategies. This in a short time gained me good experience of handling higher amounts. So make yourself strong and go with your plan than executing someone's written experience.
