    Thanks for that great post. You know the way.

    I would add the old saying, ''reading a good book will not change your life or trading - but you can change your life and trading by reading a good book".

    Not everyone has the capabilities to analyze himself, his thoughts, his actions etc.

    And you never considered its your brain causing you the be a consistently losing trader ?

    Sorry for the comment, but maybe if you would be more open to different ideas and approaches you could finally get rich..... (seriously)

    Personally, I managed to cut 80% of my losing trades through this BS psychology books, and I could have easily have blamed it on the market or strategy.

    Maybe you are simpler?!....

    Good shot. Interesting plan for a planning book .
    And catchy title =The Hour between Dog + Wolf[by John Coats].
    Many [not all] hunting seasons are limited to half hour after sunset-that's all the good shooting light anyway. US State wolf seasons vary in hunt hours.
    IF they had not disclosed it, I would never have known Dr Kiev + Dr Van Tharp were in the psychobabble sector. No disrespect intended for those gentlemen:D:D

    What kind of old saying is that? It is nonsensical because it cancels itself. I think you made that up, but badly, lol!

    REALLY?? You never read that old IBD book with the Jim Cramer [Cramer- Berkowitz] exhortation on back??:D:D
    Actually a big difference , we change , not blaming the book:caution::caution:
    I don't see how anybody could not get helped by Stock Traders Almanac or IBD give away of 10 newspapers.
    But that old newspaper never limited itself to stock- ETF trading or investing......
    NOT saying its easy to make $275,000,000 IBD Newspaper Co sale to WSJ.

    Sorry Sir, will fix it up:

    A saying I've heard from a lot of mentors​

    "reading a good book will not change your life or trading - but you can change your life and trading by implementing in your life what you read in a a good book"
    Personally, I barely got solutions from psychology books, but I managed to develop countless solutions based on the thinking process and approach I've read in these books.

    I usually go through a book a month. It will take me 13.5 years to go through your list.
