i have never read any books about trading and i do strongly believe that reading a book is not going to help you become successful in trading.
you only need two things that you can only get one of them from books: basic knowledge about how to trade and terminology like what bid, ask, orderbook means and also the most important part is experience and information!
You are contradicting yourself in your own post, you say reading a book is not going to help you become a better trader, and then in the next paragraph you state that you can in fact learn things from the books.
