❣️Market Wizards by Jack D. Schwager

It is a collection of interviews with traders who have turned measly sums into great fortunes. From those interviews, one can extract a lot of insights.
❣️How I made $2m in Stock Market by Nicholas Darvas

Darvas’s book is a fascinating read. He explains in readable terms how he made a small fortune in a short period. He explains a simple approach, now known as the Darvas Box for entering and exiting the market.
❣️Think & Trade Like a Champion by @markminervini

The book comes closest to having a real mentor, giving you practical advice. I like how the book is focused on the Mindset, Routine, Habits, and Pitfalls of traders instead of just strategies.

Wyckoff was an extremely successful stock market trader. His technical trading strategies and techniques have withstood the tests of over 75 years of changing markets.
❣️Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas

The main lesson I learned from this book is “consistency”. You must choose consistency over every other reason or justification you have for trading.
❣️Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre -

It is the autobiography of "Jesse Livermore", A famous Wall Street speculator from 100 years ago. This book is a timeless masterpiece with insightful anecdotes on human greed and fear that remains relevant to this day.

“The” book for Market Profile Method. Mind Over Markets is well worth the read for anyone trading the markets and looking to expand their trading expertise beyond candlesticks and price action.

A game-changer. The book introduces Money Zone, Floor Pivots, and Camarilla Equations. This price-based indicator and its combinations can be used to infer about the current market and forecast ahead.
❣️Trading for a Living by Alexander Elder -

It's a great book. It exposes a lot of brutal truths about the trading industry while explaining how the social psychology of the masses manifests itself into the charts patterns that people bank on to make money.
❣️The Bible of Option Strategies by Guy Cohen -

The author has very thoughtfully crafted all option strategies, along with the rationale, impact, entry/exit, charts, greeks curves, etc. A most comprehensive reference for option strategies.
❣️Van Tharp's Definitive Guide To Position Sizing by Van K Tharp @VanTharpInst

If you are a trader looking to expand your skills in the area of position sizing I recommend this book. Position sizing is the most difficult and most important part of trading to understand and use.
