pitbull really showed me one thing: find your very very very personal edge (& may it be so small) & finetune it till its in your bones...yes, it was great.

I really need that vacation, what are your plans? Also skiing?

best & have a great time...

The Brothers Karamozov (at least the grand
inquisitor chapter),
Beyond Good and Evil,
100 Years of Solitude,
An Arrow's Flight
 
Quote from Fast_Trader:

I'm gonna be taking off for vacation next week and will be out for 3 weeks. I will have a lot of free time and would like to take some trading books with me. Any recommendations on books that will improve my S&P trading?

Here are the books I'll be taking with me:
Trading In The Zone
The New Market Wizards
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

Thanks in advance guys!

Fast_Trader,

Why not try something a little different? It is called "Zen and the Art of Poker," written by Larry Phillips. Before you write it off, have a look at the review written by trader75 in Amazon.com. I think he describes the usefulness of this book quite well.

It may not be the best "trading" book by any means, but it is a fresh alternative to all of the obvious choices.
