Best forex and/or trading book you have ever read?

I agree with InfinitySL ,

The original Market Wizards is one of my favorites . There is no other book that motivates you more to learn how to trade than Market Wizards.

Thanks again everyone, getting some great titles here.

Quite sure that this thread will soon be known as the reference tool for all new traders.

Cheers.

Agreed! Read it twice!

I loved this book, but I think its short on educational value. Overall, read it if you got the time!

Rem of a Stock Operator.

It's helped me EVERY step of the way in my growth as a speculator. Read it more times than any other trading book. (finished 6th read not long back)

www.kerryspackman.com/ The winners bible. Not a trading book, but has helped me.(Not religious either )

short on education value ? wow...what a mistake...just my opinion of course.

There are a lot of great books about trading and the markets, but on a purely functional level these are the top 4 technical analysis books that come to mind.

Martin Pring - On Price Patterns

Bulkowski- Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns

John Murphy - Technical Analysis

Greg Morris - Candlestick Charting (Nison is very good, but his stuff is spread out over many books and repetitive, Morris covers a lot of the same material in a single volume)

but most importantly learn to trade what best fits your personality.

and your own book (aka your journal)

journal every day and reread your entries every few months.

Every book written by Steve Nieson will do good!!

Hands down,, ED Ponsi's "Forex and Probabilities" book has taken my trading from confused to "know how".... That book changed my trading ten fold.... Seriously

Thankyou all for your ongoing contributions.

To all new traders stumbling through here, there is some absolute gold in this thread and is a great place to build your armour before you lose your shirt on initial trades

Cheers everyone,

"Martin Pring on price patterns"
This is the pro trader's book on price action trading, it teaches inside bars, outside bars, false breakouts, S/R area's key reversals and much more:-

then all you need is "money management" an uderstanding of risk reward principles, Discipline (psychology) to follow your trading plan, these are the 3 essential ingredients. If you lack a sound knowledge of any of these principles you will not make it into the 5%.

Good Trading
