Must read Books ?

Hi,

Ca anyone tell me which are the must read books for a naive trader? The area doesn't matter much (Equity, FI, FX, Deri, Commodities, CDO's other derivatives).

 

I have a good library, and these are the ones that proved to be the gems:

- Everything written by David S. Nassar (esp. "Rules of the Trade")
- All the books written by Ari Kiev
- "Trading in the Zone" by Marc Douglas
- "Mindtraps" by Roland Barach
- The "Market Wizards" series by Jack Schwager
- "Reniniscences of a Stock Operator" by Jesse Livermore

Edit:
Oh yeah, and of course the wizards section on www.hardrightedge.com and the "Day Trading Fundamentals" Thread on SI (you need to be registered): http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=15184479

 

Any more?

 

try "Come into my trading room" by Alexander Elder and "The Logical Trader" by Mark Fisher

 

I'm going to recommend my upcoming book, "An American Hedge Fund" (you knew I had to)

I wrote it for beginners and veterans alike. Here's the latest review just posted last night:

you're right- that is a great book for a naive trader to buy.

Ashu, btw type Timothy Sykes in search and read the threads to come to your own conclusions.
