what books to read next

beeropez · 01-02-2010, 11:03 PM

I started out with stikky stock charts, then i read a beginners guide to day trading by toni turner....but i need more. I'm vague on volume specifically. I also would love to know more about bonds, and futures. I currently only trade options. I've been paper trading and real trading(rarely) for about 6 months.

I want to be a swing trader... day trading may come down the road, but i need to be very confident with charting with easier time frames and knowing what's going on in the same way and simplicity that comes with driving a car.

any advise rules

When ever I buy a technical book I have a good look at it first to see for myself how clearly it laid out and how simply it explains things, I would apply this same principle to trading books.

I would chose books that talk about behavioral finance. like this Amazon.com: Beyond Greed and Fear: Understanding Behavioral Finance and the Psychology of Investing (Financial Management Association Survey and Synthesis Series) (9780195304213): Hersh Shefrin: Books

Over at Elite Trader they have a book review section: Book Reviews > Swing Trading
which I've found to be useful.

If you havent already,I would say read "Trading in the zone" by Mark Douglas, and "Reminiscences of a stock operator" by Edwin Lefevre.
