Trading Books

[Leonthefixer]

Not the E-Book variety! But actual trading related books!

I thought it would be good to compile a list of useful books people might like to read whether they are new to trading or been at it for years.

If people put the title of the book and who wrote it and why they think it would be worth a read. Then if people know of a free online version post the link.

So here are some I would recommend:

~ Reminiscences of a Stock Operator written by Edwin Lefevre

I found this book a bit of a tough read due to it being so old (1923) but I could relate to so much of what was said, it sparked several ideas in my head and helped me understand more about the approaches needed to succeed.

~ You Bet: The Betfair Story written by Colin Cameron

Not so much trading but does provide an interesting insight into Betfair in the early days and how the idea came about. I did feel it was blowing Betfair's trumpet all the time. Only a page or 2 was used to discuss the two major changes since Betfair launched i.e. the Premium Charge and the Betfair SP. At times it is critical of Betfair but on the whole you get the impression it is slightly biased. But if you are interested in business you will find it interesting, and it finishes up with some interesting views about the future focus of Betfair by the founders. It does not discuss trading etc.

~ Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders written by Jack D. Schwager

and

~ The New Market Wizards: Conversations with America's Top Traders written by Jack D. Schwager

I found both of these books interesting but I read them before trading full time, I think I need to read them again to fully appreciate them but would recommend them.

~ Trading In The Zone written by Mark Douglas

Just started reading this and already very impressed.

[Knight Rider]

How I Made $2 Million in the Stock Market: The Darvas system for stock market profits

Not read it myself so could not give an opinion on its worthiness to Betfair trading but seen it recommended on other trading related sites and if nothing else since its based on a true story seems a good read if nothing else:cool:

[Mike_IG]

I agree with Trading In The Zone written by Mark Douglas, I've not read it all myself either but most of what I have has been very good.

[Scumbag trader]

trading in the zone is pretty good, binge trading is good but it's more of a story about trading rather than 'how to trade' if you know what i mean.

[bazbaz]

Does You Bet: The Betfair Story give much information about who actually uses betfair? I'm thinking in terms of the races markets

[Leonthefixer]

Does You Bet: The Betfair Story give much information about who actually uses betfair? I'm thinking in terms of the races markets

No it is just a business book, it is all about how Betfair was setup and developed, what the bookmakers thought/think of it, the impact it has had on sports worldwide, its role in society and things like how it changed the relationship between Government and bookmakers. It is nothing to do with trading other than the core thing being Betfair.

If you are business orientated it is interesting, if not and you purely llok at Betfair from a trading view point I doubt it would be for you. I like to learn about businesses and how they formed and developed. It has some real interestign bits in it like how Betfair came so close to collapse early on when they had no money. Also it refers to Betfair going forward and the flotation of it on the stock market etc.

the following is one from them

[TRADER68]

Anyone read Mastering Betfair by Peter Nordsted or know anything of it?
Ordered it pre release from waterstones got for £11.99 cover price £24.99 is what they are now charging.WH SMITHS have it priced £16.24 .Is a good read .Includes 5 trading stratagies and covers a lot more than any other exchange trading books i have read.Also have High Probability Trading by Marcel Link .This one not really aimed at sports exchange but has lots of relevant advise.Has a bit more technical analysis and is a heavier read.Worth the money all the same.

[Inferno897]

Hi, anyone have "Profitable Exchange Trading" ebook, or scan of this? I want to buy it on Amazon but it's not avaliable.

Hi Inferno

If thats Peter Webb book, it has not been published yet (or at least last time I checked). During these past two years it has been constantly delayed every 6 months or so.

[Inferno897]

Too bad, I want to read it, maybe anyone have scans of "course book" ( gets after seminar held by Peter Webb) ?

[jimrobo]

I don't even think it has been written yet!!!

[Inferno897]

Thanks for that, seems alot to pay - my thoughts are that it will be more about Betfair than helping on trading although the 5 strategies might be useful.

[RonA]

Read it and thought it was a very interesting read . £13.59 from amazon:)

[sethmorley]

I bought Mastering Betfair on amazon too. I found it well written with a good focus on trading. I recommend it.

I read a few books on trading psychology and found this one to be the most effective for me:

The Daily Trading Coach: 101 Lessons for Becoming Your Own Trading Psychologist (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Daily-Trading-Coach-Becoming-Psychologist/dp/0470398566).

As it was not mentioned yet I thought I should point it out. Brett Steenbarger writes this in a lesson format allowing you to focus on certain areas as you would do in any serious profession with a dedicated curriculum.

I also found both Douglas' books helpful but in my opinion Steenbarger has nailed it with his third book on the topic, with plenty of cross references to his first two (but you do not really need to read all three - this one covers it all in a much more practical format).

Not read it myself so could not give an opinion on its worthiness to Betfair trading but seen it recommended on other trading related sites and if nothing else since its based on a true story seems a good read if nothing else:cool:

I have a copy of this book and would be willing to post it to a member for a couple of weeks in exchange for a loan of another trading book in return. Personally i dont think its that good. He identified that his shares moved within bands and when they broke up through the band it was a buy signal and when it fell out of a band it was a sell. Quite interesting story though. He was a ballroom dancer who travelled the world in the 50's and 60's and had to buy and sell by sending and receiving cables in the days before the internet.

Still the offer stands if anyone wants to read it.

[jibiko]

in what form is your book? electronic (pdf, txt) or hard copy?

[Firkinelle]

Sounds a good read, count me in please.

[LusoExpress]

well i have most of the books recommended here and must say the ones that i like and helped me the most were "Reminiscense of a stock operator" by Edwin Lefevre , "The Black Swan" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and "Trading in the zone" by Mark Douglas

but here a few also worth a check:

"Mastering the trade" by John F. Carter

"Winning the day trading game" by Thomas L. Busby

"Entries & Exits: Visits to sixteen trading rooms" by Dr. Alexander Elder

*all of them are obviously oriented to the stock markets but with valuable lessons about trading

hope it helps

FTS means football trading system.Its pretty old hat and involves "laying the draw" if I remember.

Aye; I somewhere got his system for 2009, someone shared it over internet; it consisted of three systems; one is, as Brumbie says, Lay The Draw; second is "15 minutes system", which basically says back Unders and Lay if there is no goal after 15 minutes; and third one is Lay the draw and back CS 0-0, 2-2 and 3-3, and...

Now I have one result I don't, want 1-1. I already know 88% of the
time it is not 1-1 and with match selection will remove this further.

All in all, indeed he named it FTS after "Football Trading System", but if you look Urban Dictionary for abbreviation FTS, it will tell you "F*ck That System", which is, IMHO, much more suitable reading. :D

The Mathematics of Games and Gambling
By Edward Packel

Publisher: The Mathematical Association of America | 1996 | 151 Pages | ISBN: 088385628X | PDF | 5.83 MB

You can't lose with this MAA Book Prize winner if you want to see how mathematics can be used to analyze games of chance and skill. Roulette, craps, blackjack, backgammon, poker, bridge, lotteries and horse races are considered here in a way that reveals their mathematical aspects. The tools used include probability, expectation, and game theory. No prerequisites are needed beyond high school algebra. No book can guarantee good luck, but this book will show you what determines the best bet in a game of chance or the optimal strategy in a strategic game. Besides being an excellent supplement to a course on probability and good bed-side reading, this book's treatment of lotteries should save the reader some money.

having just read the whole thread there is some realinteresting books mentioned some of which i have never even heard of so well done eveyone who has contributed thus far.

The 2 mike douglas books i have and although they are pretty good reads i do find alot of the stuff he talks about to be quite irrelevant, well not exactly irrelevant but a little too deep ie parts about childhood etc it seems that with each topic he covers he goes well ott in elaborating the point and you can occasionally very easily forget what you are supposed to be reading about imho.

I was a little suprised that nobody had mentioned the Dr Van K Tharp books but then there was post asking about them. I looked for a long time for a download of these but failed so i was bought it as a birthday present one year.

"Trade you way to financial freedom" The single best book i have read on trading and i really do highly recommend it.

Althoght the douglas books are good this really is better as far as a trading mindset goes.

Regards
Fluffnut

What is better, automatic trading or by hands? As I know automatic traidng can't trade in-play and can't take a decision what you need.
And which book is good for trading?
As I know, all books only about that buy higher price sell lower price, and this is 100 pages about this. :)

The best thing about the way of the turtle is that his actually telling a story. A story of his own life which is much better than:
enter here, stop loss here, exit here :D

Has anyone read Sports Arbitrage - Advanced Series by Rajeev Shah?

[Leonthefixer]

I forgot I started this thread nearly 2 years ago!

I am beginning a new trading journey and with that comes a lot of research so I am starting to read a lot again and came across my old thread while scouring for book recommendations on the forums.

I see there are a lot of pdf links being posted and wondered how you guys read these? Do you just sit with your laptop? Does an Amazon Kindle allow you to read them on it?

By using some of these links you could soon effectively pay for the Kindle with the money you save by not having to buy the books so would be interested to hear any ones experience with a Kindle.

Cheers and glad this thread has been added to so much!

[Temujin]

Just bought myself a couple of books:
Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets - Stan Weinstein
Active Investing - Alan Hull
Guppy Trading - Daryl Guppy.

I now own 6 books. :) Other 3 are The Wolf of Wall Street, Catching the Wolf of Wall Street (both Jordan Belfort obviously), and The Snowball by Warren Buffet.

Obviously I am looking to move into the share market at some point, and while I have some spare money and a bit of a buffer before the PC I figure the time is now. Will let you know what I think of these books when I get through them. Starting with Stan Weinstein as I heard the best of the 3 about it. Seems pretty specific at the moment, so will have to see how the message works out, and then get through the other books, then obviously have a look at the markets myself.
Makes for interesting reading though...

Technical Analysis Plain and Simple: Charting the Markets in Your Language, 3rd Edition

Publisher: FT Press; 3 edition | 2010 | 352 pages | English | ISBN-10: 0137057059 | 7.8 MB

Technical analysis offers powerful, objective tools for picking stocks and making money - and in today's market environment, that makes it more indispensable than ever.
Unfortunately, most explanations of the subject simply confuse investors instead of enlightening them. In this clear, practical, fully updated book, Barron's technical analysis columnist Michael N. Kahn introduces state-of-the-art technical analysis techniques in simple language that any investor can understand and use. Kahn explains exactly how technical analysis works, then teaches you how to read charts and translate them into actual buy and sell decisions. Along the way, you'll learn how to use technical analysis to complement your current approach to stock selection, discover what makes a stock look promising to technical analysts, and objectively assess both risk and reward. This updated and revised Third Edition contains many new examples reflecting today's transformed market environment, including detailed coverage of recognizing bubbles, including real estate (2006), oil (2008), and bonds (2009). Kahn offers powerful new insights into the relationship between technical analysis and market psychology, as well as crucial, up-to-date guidance on sector rotation for changing markets. He also presents a full chapter on "when things stop working": how to recognize when usually reliable technical tools are being overwhelmed by "once-in-a-thousand-year," "black-swan"-type events.

Best trading book I’ve read (and I’ve read a few!) is Enhancing Trader Performance by Brett N. Steenbarger. There is an absolute tonne of useful information in it. It’s like Trading in the Zone on steroids (and without the anecdotal repetition).

its better to rar files [maybe even with pass] and give some meaningles names, ten they last much longer:)

[flok]

when i try to get the file, the site asks me to register. is it safe?

[WhyAlwaysMe]

I downloaded it as a torrent file as I couldn't get the first link to work. Trouble is I can't open it. Do you need something to open it in or with?

[flok]

i think you need a torrent client (microtorrent, bittorrent etc), you open the torrent file in it, and it starts the download

Btw am I the only one who finds "Trading in the zone" stupid ? :) When I started to read it I just started to think of all the things in the book, like am I afraid of the market, do I have enough confidence, am I doing that right and in fact for the few hours when I though about all that stuff my trading was awful! Then I just stoped it, because I couldn't concetrade. ROFL what this author is talking about ? When I am trading I am just trying to concentrate on max and let off of all my feelings, I am not thinking of anything, just trading! Why would I need to read a book and someone to tell me how my mental state has to be while I am trading. I found it really useless, even bad for me!

I am not thinking of anything, just trading!


sounds like you're trading in the zone to me :)

Btw am I the only one who finds "Trading in the zone" stupid ? :) When I started to read it I just started to think of all the things in the book, like am I afraid of the market, do I have enough confidence, am I doing that right and in fact for the few hours when I though about all that stuff my trading was awful! Then I just stoped it, because I couldn't concetrade. ROFL what this author is talking about ? When I am trading I am just trying to concentrate on max and let off of all my feelings, I am not thinking of anything, just trading! Why would I need to read a book and someone to tell me how my mental state has to be while I am trading. I found it really useless, even bad for me!

Hi L,

no you're not the only one, apart from one or two bits at the back, I wasn't very impressed either,

cheers, MC

Hey does anyone have a link to "How to Use System Betting on the Exchanges" or "Lay,Back and Think of Winning" both by Nigel Paul. Theyre essentially the same book I think but just with different titles. Can anyone offer their oppinion on the book aswell?
cheers
