2. What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars - (Jim Paul Brendan Moynihan)
This books focus is on losing and may seem an odd choice as essential reading but it is for this reason as it correctly states
There are many different ways to make money but only a few ways to lose it.
Part biography and part a lesson in money management - if you only
thought money management was placing a stop you need this book.
One of the most unique trading books you will ever read.
It focuses on the fact that trading and investing are personal
journeys; about finding out who you are, and then how to manage what
you find and use this understanding to trade successfully.
The reason why most traders never make money is they don't understand
that success comes from within and that trading is all about self
knowledge not the method they are using.
3. The Way of the Turtle - (Curtis Faith)
While visiting a turtle farm, legendary trader Richard Dennis had a bet
with his big pal and trading partner - Bill Eckhardt that traders were
not born - they could be taught.
To settle the bet, they recruited a group of individuals from all walks
of life, gave them accounts to trade, and trained them for 14 days and
nicknamed them the Turtles.
The Turtles proved Dennis right and earned more than $100 million in
less than four years. Here the most successful turtle Curtis Faith goes
through the experiment in great depth offering his unique perspective
on the experiment.
He explains why the Turtle Way works in today's markets and how to
apply it. He also shares his wisdom on taking risks, choosing your own
path, and learning from your trading mistakes.
