A good book to learn how to trade.

[L.Lawliet]

Recently i´ve got a indication of a book: Encyclopedia of chart patterns (second edition). This book is realy good, but it has many pages (1033). The book was initially designed for the Stock Market, but you can still use the book to trade with bitcoin. The book is available on Amazon and on the internet (pdf for free). I particularly downloaded the pdf but I intend to buy the book soon. I recommend an intermediate-advanced level of English and a certain experience in trade to understand the book well.

Book is good to study to have a background knowledge of trading but at the same time, we should bear in mind that we need a practical knowledge to be able to take down everything we read from the book and trying them out. This will help us to restrategize if it not working.

When im still trading up on Forex, i got used to read up some books but times passed where everything can be read up online then
i dont already have the time to look into any writings but rather i do prefer on reading up online due to convenience.
You wouldnt really understand a book yet it would really have that corresponding level of knowledge which would really be needed.
Its a step by step process though.When it comes to basics then babypips.com courses would be good for complete beginners.

If you read books, you will only gain knowledge and not experience. It is very hard to trade when you don't know what is really happening in the market and during transactions.

Strategy is hard to perform when you only read books, because in books, it only states the type of strategies and not the consequences and advantages of it. Planning and performing strategy is always based on your technical analysis about the movement in the market. In order for you to become an effective trader, you should always apply and perform the basics that you have read. You also need to practice the strategies, in order for you to know the good and bad effects of it. It is not bad to make mistakes, but if you make the same mistakes again then you have a problem with the way you trade.

Not only books, it is also essential to seek some advice and tips to some professional traders. They are the one who are knowledgeable and effective when it comes to trading. Professional traders are still experiencing some bad and fail transactions but they are dominant when they will make a solution for it. They can make strategies based on the circumstances so they can easily manipulate the market with the way they want. But if the market is really down and the prices of the coins are not cooperating then it will have a hard time to make a solution for that. They are still vulnerable with the mistakes and no one is exempted with that. In cryptocurrency, practice don't make things perfect, but it lessen the risk of losing the money in trading.

There's a lot of books out there that talks about trading, but the best book I preferred on you is entitled "The Disciplined Trade" written by Mark Douglas in 1990, this book is talks about the mental discipline that is really required among traders to become a successful trader someday.  This book also describes the basic mindset and attitudes for trader so that this book may help you to understand on what you really feel when it comes in trading.

One of the biggest mistakes you are doing is comparing bitcoin trading with stock trading. They are not the same. They don't exhibit the same behavior at all. One should not try trading bitcoin like they are trading stocks.
On other hand, do you actually need books to learn how to trade? There are tons of free such books out there on the internet, but you won't truly learn anything unless you have tried trading yourself. You will be making lot of mistakes when trading and once you learn from you mistakes, you will be better at trading.

Since the whole concept and context were designed for the Stock Market, there are some things that might be appropriate when they bring to Crypto. Trading crypto and stocks might be the same in general but they have different factors to looked at.

There are lots of sources already that focused on everything about crypto trades whether via books, videos, articles, etc. so if the main purpose is to learn how to trade cryptos, refer to these sources instead rather than to read a stock market-related books.

Unless we want to extend our knowledge about how to deal with the stock market too, that book will serve as a good reference.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

This has been a topic of quite a few threads since I've been a member here, and you might want to search for "books" in Bitcoin Discussion and/or Trading Discussion, because I've seen lots of recommendations.

I've always suggested Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre--even though the book is really old and is about stock and commodity trading, it's a very interesting and entertaining read.  Jesse Livermore was doing TA well before computers existed, and he was pretty successful at it (except for the times when he went bankrupt....and committed suicide).

On a related note, I started reading Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper.  It doesn't have anything to do with trading, but it's all about bitcoin and so far I'm really enjoying it.

One of the biggest mistakes you are doing is comparing bitcoin trading with stock trading. They are not the same. They don't exhibit the same behavior at all.

I disagree with that, and I'd also suggest that any similarities depend on which stock you're talking about.  The behavior may not be identical, but if you're using TA you could probably apply it to both markets (and I think it's useless in both as well).

Investing in stock market and related to the trading crypto have similiarty also, but better to buy or downloads a book that are really related about the crypto trading.

There is more good books that a trader can read it so they apply it to the trading and they earn money. I already read some books about trading but the information is still not enough so Im still looking to another more new books that can really gives me another new knowledge in terms of trading startegy and facts and do's that I need to do.

It's good to have both practical, actual and books knowledge as we will be able to explore and learn things might or might not included on books. I also enjoy enrolling in some online courses now since some were able to give tips, recommends better platforms and shows some of their strategies that can benefit me also.

Books are good for increasing knowledge if we want to read them, I like reading books, but now that online learning how to trade can be found when we type keywords, I learn how to trade by reading the experiences of traders and their strategies online. This also added to my knowledge and I applied it.

[KnightElite]

Most of the trading books that I have read is all about stock market, it is hard to find a book that is all about cryptocurrency. Anyway, the information in the books about stock market is also applicable in cryptocurrency market. There are trading strategies that I learned in stock market that I keep using even if I trade bitcoin. For those who want to buy and read books I prefer you the books of Minervini which is trade like a stock market wizard.

If you are seeing the number of pages as some kind of roadblock right now I don't think that recommending you a new book that contains less number of pages is the ideal solution here. Books are not designed to be read in whole especially if you are a beginner who wants to learn everything since skipping on sections and paragraphs would just make you clueless on understanding everything. If I would be advising you I think what you need to do is just to be motivated to learn and finish a book before you find a new one. Because I think if you find a book boring to learn I don't think you'll be suited enough to learn something from a new book, you'll just find that new book boring the same as the old one.

Actually, we can find a lot of books and online trading tutorial and it seems to be all of them are quite similar to say. In fact, I only learn trading online and following the steps of successful traders. Only we need to be patient and keep accepting ideas of what some traders may feed on us. We don't need to pretend that we are already know anything because is a certain thing there is still we need to acquire which many traders are not telling by then.

We don't need to be satisfied because we already learn the basic but most importantly is to look away that could help us to farther enhance our trading skill and be successful.

[R2ktrader]

I traded professionally for 10 years, including on the floor of the CME, then for a top prop shop in Chicago. Treasuries, equity index futures, etc, etc. Discretionary, grey box, black box, or with hand signals on the floor. Crypto markets are now trading like volatile futures markets and absolutely exhibit similar behavior. It's all supply & demand at the end of the day.

Tons of great books out there. Theory & practice, like anything else in life, is essential.

1. Preserve your capital. Study risk mgmt.
2. Read the likes if Ed Thorp, Jack Schwager (Market Wizards series), Big Hitters by Kevin Koy, Alpha Masters, Mind Over Markets (Dalton) any Market Profile text.
3. Remove any emotion from trading.  Binary of sorts, like programming. That's not to say you don't use your brain. Most algos or black boxes lack substance because markets change & that requires user input to change.
4. Capital Preservation is KEY!

The biggest advantage an independent trader will always have is the ability to sit on their hands and wait for the right market to trade. Institutional $, and weak/impatient $ will over trade. Trading is not about being right, it's about cutting your losses to trade another day. The aforementioned books all profile the most successful traders over several decades (...Stock Operator cover this as well) all cover the same concepts & principles. Trading cryptocurrencies is no different and frankly, WHEN the SEC opens the door for institutional & retail $$, the likes of Bitcoin will be one of the best instruments to trade, if it isn't already.

Yes, I have seen about the book Encyclopedia, if I'm not mistaken this book was written by Thomas Bulkowski in 2005, at that time I didn't really care about the Encyclopedia book.

After seeing this topic, it is very necessary to have a book (Encyclopedia of chart patterns) to own and learn about trading, analysis, investment and many others.

Interesting to learn if examined the current conditions, where trading is not the same as before, with the guidelines in the book maybe I can arm myself in investing and trading.
With some very optimal points can be taken.

Trading is such an essential thing in this virtual world. For us to earn so much many in this virtual world, we do trading to lessen the fee when we are going to withdraw the money. Some tips for trading is to learn some different currency, you can research it, or you may read some books that offer some strategy about trading. One of the books that I have read is the book "The disciplined trader", I have learned so many things about that book, it teaches me about the strategy to be a good trader at all, and upon reading the book I realized the importance of any other books, I have so many books in our house, but I have read none of them because I am so tired in reading. Still, when the time that I want to learn some things to be a good trader and read the "The disciplined trader", it affects me to read the book I have in our house, but reading books is not enough, you should also rely on your skills as a person and the experience you have for so many years doing trading.

This also added to my knowledge and I applied it.

Reading books is entertaining and useful because it will also help you enhance your understanding but with the use of technology everything is much convenient which means you can easily get a copy of a book by a simple search. Learning online is less hassle but you can't literally assure that every content that you will be seeing is legit. Just like you, i'm also into books because its fun especially during your leisure time. Learning from the experiences of others can also be beneficial because you can be aware of the possible problems or challenges that you may encounter as you continue your trading journey. Their story will guide you like on avoiding doing the same mistake because they will make you realize how hard it is to overcome such problems. Anyway, i'll look forward reading this book because I know it will enlighten me about various of things about trading.
