Recommended forex books

Hi,
i searched this forum for recommended books for forex traders, but i couldn´t hardly find anything.
So i wanna start a new thread.
As there are no good german books about fx-trading, i will have to search for books in english.
Can you tell me some books, just about fx-trading ?
I have read all the "classics" like John Murphy, Nison, Tharpe, etc...
At Amazon i found quite a few english books about forex, but i don´t know, what is good and what is crap.

So, help would be appreciated.

I am assuming you looking for books about trading rather than FX specific (although there are some I'd not read any)

The Way to Trade - John Piper
Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom - Van Tharp

Jake Bernsteins has created some software called Tradingmind which is quite fun. It's a few meditations that help people with their trading mindset.
(I can only imagine that there are pirate copies available.. just guessing)

Find this audio lecture: Hank Pruden - The New Science of Bhavioural Finance

Another great book is by Chris Lori he has his book in the front page of this section as a sticky.

Pring on Price Patterns

Market wizards/new market wizards

Inside the House of Money

Trading for a Living - Dr. Alexander Elder
Tape Reading & Market Tactics - Humphrey B. Neil

Thanks for your proposals.

But i´m really looking for FX specific books.
Not trading in general.

Read the Essentials of Forex by J. Martinez, It was my first book. It is a really easy to understand book that covers almost all topics. That book is a great starter book. Of course my favorite by surprise is Age of Turbulence by Alan Greenspan. I thought this book would be boring but it has open my eyes to how things are run at the fed and elsewhere, If you plan to trade ANY market this book is a must.

Martin Pring on Price Patterns
M.Douglas Trading In The Zone
Steve Nison Japanese Candle Stick

I've had this for years. It's really great for getting yourself into the right frame of mind before you start clicking buttons.

There is one good german book: "Das große Buch der Markttechnik" from Michael Voigt.

This isn't specific for the Forex market, but that doesn't matter.

A good one as well is "Bird watching in lion country" from Dirk du Toit. Some hate it some love it.

Xaron,
thanks for your proposal.
I´ve read the Voigt-book already and i think it´s one of the best books about trading.
I follow your strategies at candletalk.
So, good luck

A good book for beginners thinking about a life of trading is "Adventures of a Currency Trader" by Rob Booker.

The book follows a fictional trader starting out in Forex. It allows you to read about all the mistakes he makes along the way and the reasons he made them.

I think a good trader could trade any market providing it is transparent,liquid and there is reasonable volatility. Although you are looking for specific forex books but i strongly recommend you to read Trading in the zone by Mark Douglas and Trade your way to financial freedom by Van Tharp. The principles in those books are helpful for any would be trader in any market.

I am looking to get a copy (hardback or PDF) of 'Beat The Forex Dealer' by Agustin Silvani and MIGFX, but would be willing to swap a copy of any of the following,1. Forex Patterns and Probabilities - Ed Ponsi, 2. Charting The Major Forex Pairs - Bickford/Archer, 3. High Probability Trading Strategies - Robert L Miner, 4. The Forex Chartist Companion Archer/Bickford, thanks Jonmem

It's for sale on Amazon for $30:

Also, I found a link of a preview of the book on this forum:

http://www.beattheforexdealer.com/

I plan to order it. After I get it and read it, I'm willing to trade for one of your books if you're willing to wait a few weeks.

Sounds good to me!

If anybody is of a mechanical bent I would suggest,

- The Encyclopedia of Trading Strategies by Katz & McCormick
- Pairs Trading by Vidyamurthy
- Evidence Based Technical Analysis by Aronson
- Quantitative Trading by Chan
- Way of the Turtle by Fath

Not all these books are good all the way though, but they are not filled with the vague rubbish which seems to pass for content in most trading books.
Between all of them they pretty much cover bases on basic automated trading.

if you're looking for books on forex to study technicals more(technical analysis, how interest rates affect the market, trading ranges & etc, then whatever topic you wish to study you can find lots of info on it on the internet). if you want a book that will help you trade better, then "the disciplined trader" by mark douglas is your book.

Anyone into oldschool TA? My suggested books written by:

 

1. J.J. Murphy
2. T. Bulkowski
3. Martin Pring
4. Igrok Toschakov ala Igrok*

I'm a huge fan of "Trading in the Zone" and try to reads some of it daily!

currency trading for dummies.

part of this book is advise about trading. the part i like is just info about fx markets.

i'have alot of books some of them mentioned above and i am going to sell them and put the money in a account

i'll keep the for dummies book as a reference and learn from FF and e-books.
