I write here a small summary of the best books on the subject of "Trading" in my opinion. In the following I will list books around the topic and give a small explanation to them. All books I have read myself. Below I will post the matching Amazon links (no affiliate links). All books were read in the original language, so I can't give any statement about the quality of the German translations.


Trading General:

1) Dr. Alexander Elder - Trading for a Living (also available in German)

https://www.amazon.de/Trading-Living-Psychology-Tactics-Management/dp/0471592242

A good introduction to the field of trading and good to get an overview of different topics.


2) Jack D. Schwager - Market Wizards

https://www.amazon.de/Jack-D-Schwager/e/B000AR7ZM4/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1

The Market Wizards series by Jack D. Schwager is a bit outdated. However, it is a very good resource to learn from others mistakes and also get a look inside the head of the best traders in the world.


3) Mike Bellafiore - One Good Trade

https://www.amazon.de/dp/0470529407/?coliid=I3QS22WDHWUGP5&colid=UF2INATROJOR&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

The best book on prop trading. A very good source to get a valid insight into the world of prop trading. And this is from one of the best, if not the best prop trading firms in the world.


Trading Psychology:

1) Mark Douglas - Trading in the Zone

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07C9R7LBN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o05?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Dubbed by many very well-known traders as "the bible" for the subject of trading psychology. In general, Douglas presents several methods for integrating and mastering trading psychology in everyday trading.


2) Mike Bellafiore - The Playbook

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08S2VSZPR/?coliid=IMM7XFPSSQR6D&colid=UF2INATROJOR&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

A very good resource to get an insight into the mind of the best porp traders. In my opinion one of the best, if not the best resource on the subject of "trading psychology".


The days will follow more posts on other areas when it comes to trading. For example Technical Analysis, Quantitative Trading, Dark Pools, etc.
