Book recommendations for futures trader

I hope local B&N or Borders has The Disciplined Trader.

 

hey ft,

here are the ones I would (& will) take with me:

- Van K Tharp: Trade your way...
- Pirsig: Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (deals a lot with values)
- Dalton,Jones,Dalton: Mind Over Markets (Price Level Profile)
- Pit Bull (this one is really great, read it once, will read it again)

best & have a relaxed time...

Called the local B&N and they had one copy in stock...will pick it up tonight. Thanks db!

 

Already have Pit Bull. It was such a good read!

Thanks and you enjoy your vacation too

pitbull really showed me one thing: find your very very very personal edge (& may it be so small) & finetune it till its in your bones...yes, it was great.

I really need that vacation, what are your plans? Also skiing?

best & have a great time...

A legendary S&P local once told to read:

Heart of Darkness,
Story of Job,
The Brothers Karamozov (at least the grand
inquisitor chapter),
Beyond Good and Evil,
100 Years of Solitude,
An Arrow's Flight

 

Fast_Trader,

Why not try something a little different? It is called "Zen and the Art of Poker," written by Larry Phillips. Before you write it off, have a look at the review written by trader75 in Amazon.com. I think he describes the usefulness of this book quite well.

It may not be the best "trading" book by any means, but it is a fresh alternative to all of the obvious choices.

 

Called B&N and put this one on hold as well. Will be picking it up tonight.

Thanks,

-Fast

 

with all those Zen books Fast should skip the vacation and head straight for monastery.

 

Not a bad idea

Well, I picked up the following this evening from B&N:

Zen And The Art of Poker
The Disciplined Trader
Come Into My Trading Room

So, I got 7 books total for my vacation
