In terms of trading strategies I wouldn't recommend any books. They're all just written by wannabe traders.

On the other hand if you're to look into trading psychology... The. Trading in the zone is a solid read.

I partly agree on that. You probably wont get a full working system from a book, you can get good ideas to implement in you trading. Theres also some decent books on technical analysis.

The bible KJV, whole thing, don't cut corners. (this is pretty much the most essential, cut out work there is in terms of wisdom of the ages) Everything else mainly draws the wisdom from it.
Essence of the Upanishads... - Eknath Easwaran
Titan,... - Ron Chernow
Meditations - Marcus Aurelius
48 laws of power - Robert Greene
33 Strategies of war - Robert Greene
The Art of War - Sun Tzu
Shrewd:... - Rick Lawrence
The Prince - Machiavelli
The Adweek... - Joseph Sugarman
How to win friends... - Dale Carnegie
How to get rich - Felix Dennis
The Will power instinct - Kelly McGonigal
The Stress-Proof Brain - Melaine Greenberg

Most of these books really are about how to be more cunning, at least systemically. So, no trading books, but if you're serious about generating alpha, I don't see any other way unless you practice your decision making skills to be in line with what you need in order to get the job done and being professional about it all the way through. https://edubirdie.com/rate-my-paper Even if you don't make it in trading, these are skills that if applied in ordinary jobs, in life and all will keep you safe and make you a prodigy with efficiency>> overall get you to places without struggle. You'll recognize leverage, create your own market, and realize power over others. Where most are uncomfortable, you'll find comfort. Making your life more rewarding with health, & friends. If there is anything to being a stand up guy... it's to be mentally stable, and happy; to be a man's man. And that's what everyone should strive for. Be strong, and have character with no fear.
Thank you so much for your advice, it's very helpful to me!

I would recommend "Day One Trader" by John Sussex which gives interesting insight into the mindset of star traders of the trading floor of Liffe (London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange). Sussex became a highly successful trader and eventually opened his own brokerage firm.

This book is not by a successful trader but rather about a successful trader and the steps he took to build a successful business:

It seems to me impossible to learn trading from books, only practice. But you can start with the basics: economics, finance. It won't be redundant. An hank you for this list!

Books still provide additional information that can always be used in trading. Let it not be done directly. I don't really believe in strategies that are publicly available. This is usually done by those who are already disappointed in them. But if some part of it is satisfied (for example, indicators), then why not use them? Also, I think, with books. The book "Millionaire Traders" helped me a lot at the time. How to beat Wall Street professionals in their own field." Yes, there is little information about the trade itself, more about the attitude towards it (in my opinion), but this is also quite an important point.

Absolutely, that’s spot on. The core principles behind trading different financial instruments are fundamentally the same. Through time, dedication, and study, a good trader will select the instrument that best aligns with their personal needs, allowing them to maximize their efforts. When it comes to reading books on trading, it’s essential to focus on concepts that stand the test of time. Patterns, indicators, and algorithms can quickly lose their predictive edge, which is why I never rely on publicly shared strategies.
In response to the initial thread, I’d also recommend Fooled by Randomness.

Yes, there are a few good ones that cover multiple strategies in one place. "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas is a classic that blends psychology with strategy thinking. For a more technical multi-strategy approach, "Trading Systems and Methods" by Perry Kaufman is one of the most comprehensive books out there — covers everything from trend following to mean reversion and beyond.
If you want something more accessible to start, "The Little Book of Trading" by Michael Covel gives a solid overview of different approaches without going too deep into the technical weeds. And for discretionary traders, Jack Schwager's Market Wizards series is excellent — interviews with top traders where each one uses a completely different strategy, so you get a broad picture of what actually works in practice.
