It’s a great idea to just settle down and learn the basics about trading rather than jumping into it. And once you learn a thing or two I would first advise you to use the Demo account provided by some exchanges. This will also guide you and then start off with your won funds but make sure you start with small amounts to minimize the risk of losing huge amount.

Here is a thread of books about cryptocurrency basics and trading by Ratimov; big library of bitcoin and blockchain books

Here is also a awesome trading tips on GitHub

although sometimes the trading we do is not in accordance with the planning we expect. but when the more you read and have more knowledge about trading, the better it will be for your development.
study the 2 books you mentioned above, I can't judge whether they are good or not. but for knowledge, I think it's quite important. after that only experience can be a lesson for your development in trading.

and when you start to get bored, my message is don't be easily swayed by signals or directions from channels on social media that give you hope for quick profits in trading. focus on your studies. hope you get what you are looking for.

A newbie wanted to trade and learning the basics first is a good idea rather than trading right away without enough knowledge as it would only result in losing more money compared to a newbie who learn the basics. It's good to know that a newbie have a good mindset. As the saying goes, "never dive into a strange water that you can't see through as now matter how experienced you are, you will never know the danger that it will cause". Good luck with the trading and profit in the future.

I don't know, should i suggest you a genuine reply or just ignore you like you have ignored the spamming rules of this forum (no offense) actually i read your neutral tag and they said you ask same question again and again by changing the words like if i have to ask how are you i can also say how are you doing etc. You are also doing the same. Well, tbh i don't know if you asked the same question before or not.

But if you heart find above two books helpful then go for it and give it a try but if you afraid that you will end up wasting your money on these books then you should read them online by writing this command first and then paste the full exact name of the book copied from amazon after the following code. So, you will be able to read these books for free and can now the potential that are they worthy enough to be bought.

Code:

I will just have to say that trading is a serious business and for serious people. You won't be unserious and what to be a trader because that determines how committed and far you will go. Challenges in trading are not what unserious people get into. However, you have to mention your challenges after you have gone through the links you have already.

[Ricardo11]

Before starting trading as a newbie, first you need to get a complete understanding of trading. Before trading, detailed observation and research should be done about the trading market. You must be patient. Because mental state is very important while trading. Before trading you need to determine the right time and trade at that time. And of course don't forget to trade in consultation with a more experienced trader.

I am not much familiar with trading books as I am fond of video tutorials for better understanding, Reading sometimes feels more comfortable and interesting but most of the time it's not a good idea. Still, I had just posted a reply to a new user's post it was quite a basic guide with few tips only

Thanks all - what I am also unsure of is the best time frame to trade on?

As a newbie, this information should not be what to concern yourself with right now. There are other more basic information to know first and as time goes on, which is as you learn more, you will know the answer to this question for you. Watch videos on YT to learn the basics just as much as you read to try to know them. Videos have a way of sticking to memory and being a summary for books that can be really long to read and sometimes confusing to understand. YouTube is a good place to find educational videos that will answer many questions you have.

Don't miss this new thread; I think it will help to encourage you too on the characteristics of a newbie trader. If you are Just starting your trading journey, you should first look for a reliable exchange that is favourable to you, although It depends on what exchange is allowed in your country. Then you should decide what kind of trader you want to be. There are traders that buy low and sell high; in some CEX, it's called "Sport trading," and there's also leaverage trading, as CEX calls it "Future trading." Depending on the CEX you are using, if you sign up for a demo account, which allows you to practise little things about volatility, leaverage, and when to enter and exit the market.

You won't blame him as he currently experiencing what I term the newbie syndrome, it has to with the sudden rush to make quick BTC through risky ways which they certainly have no clue about maybe got interested because of the stories they have heard about how one can make lots of profits through this means.

I would advice you OP that not all means are worth it, trading is very risky but attainable though when you have proper and strong knowledge on it but in a situation where you are just in a rush to make money, you might just end up loosing all little you have.

Do your research, study up on how cryptocurrencies work and the different types. Don’t invest in something you don’t fully understand, and only invest what you can afford to lose.

Also understand a lot of security risks are prevalent in the crypto space so always use strong security; be selective of your trading exchange, some aren't reliable while some like Binance and Bitget have announced their protection fund which means good security.

Finally, cryptocurrencies can have short-term gains, but a long-term perspective and understanding of their potential benefits will help you weather volatility, so have a long-term vision

I prefer to join mentorship program, because you will learn the system. Those system in trading will make you more confident that the strategy you learn would work. Mentors will provide the concepts in trading and also refining the ideas what's really important to you as a beginner trader. If the mentors were profitable, students would also profitable as well if they follow the lessons. The best thing that I like in joining mentorship is you can ask something you don't understand.

There are a lot of trading books online that you can read and free videos on Youtube that you can watch.
Understanding the basic concepts of technical analysis, fundamental analysis, risk management, and different trading strategies would be your first step when you're in trading.

Considering that paper trading is the best idea to start learning to trade, this allows you to practice trading without risking real money.  It's a great way to test your strategies and understand how the markets work before committing to actual funds.

Next, copy trading can be a useful learning tool and provide exposure to different trading strategies.  But remember it should not replace the development of your own trading skills and knowledge and by combining copy trading with a commitment to learning, you can enhance your trading abilities over time.

Remember, trading is a skill that takes time and practice to develop, just be patient and continue to learn and adapt because learning in trading doesn't have a shortcut.

If you are a trader and have an opened trading position, you can not forget One of best weapons in trading. Stop loss order is a very important order type to comprehend and practice in your trading.

If you want something better, more advanced, you can consider Stop limit order.

More important than any trading order, trading strategy, you must have a good capital management first. Don't use all capital for trading is a good capital management before you start trading.

Yes, the strategy must be adjusted to how we trade and that's why the strategy that we think is the best won't necessarily work well with other people,
good capital management will produce good results,
things like that must be considered too because trading is so complicated and not just about buying and selling.

[Latviand]

If you're a total newbie, might I suggest that you should learn from the scratch first? I think that trading is like big step and that you're probably skipping a lot of fundamentals in the metaphorical ladder. But if you do insist on learning trading first, you should first first evaluate yourself, you need to point out your flaws and how you might react on things and how are you when it comes to negative outcomes, are you disciplined enough to follow a pattern that becomes boring when it becomes a habit? There's more questions that you need to answer first and then honestly tell yourself if you're ready to trade and if not, you can always start from scratch.

About the two books here, I am more sure about selecting the highest rating here in the store which is the second one (How to day trade for a Living)

I am amazed that there are still some people who are still able to learn via books compare to some video tutorials like youtube or any online video course.
I never experienced reading a physical book about trading, I wish I can do it in the future.
