Jesse Livermore: World’s Greatest Stock Trader, by Richard Smitten; & Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, by Edwin Lefevre
Yes I know it’s two books, but seriously anything you can lay your hands
on to do with Jesse Livermore is well worth reading, and forget about
the fact that he was mostly a stock trader, the lessons and insights
gained here apply to any market and any trading activity, and are quite
timeless.
Currency Trading for Dummies, by Mark Galant and Brian Dolan
A great first read as an introduction to the world of currency trading.
Face the Trader Within, by Chris Lori
Ex-Olympian and renowned fund trader, as well as Commodities Trading Adviser and mentor to traders of all levels, Chris is uniquely positioned to write a book on the psychology of trading. That’s what this book is about: facing your inner challenges in order to achieve outer successes. An excellent read, Chris doesn’t waste words and gets right to the point of what you need to know. I hate to be dogmatic but you really must read this, especially as it is now available free of charge
Warrior Trading, by Clifford Bennett
Not as well known as your average forex book, but I list it here because I think it is worthy of a place. I personally feel that Clifford goes a little overboard with the warrior analogy, but his insight into market mechanics and market psychology is born of great experience and brilliantly expressed in this short, punchy read. Highly recommended.
The Secret of Candlestick Charting, by Louise Bedford
The best value for money introduction to candlestick charting, and possibly the only book you need on it, with one caveat: it doesn’t cover the difference between forex candlesticks and those in other markets.
