I'm looking for reading ideas. Please name 3 books you find most helpful to your trading. and your trading style.

I mostly day trading es, cl, spy, spy options. The 3 most helpful books to me are:
  1. Trading in the zone
  2. High Probability Trading by Marcel Link
  3. Pivots, Patterns, and Intraday Swing Trades by William Scheier

Sorry, I can't think of 3, I've read nearly everything and it's 99% crap.

Relate to this.

Many books gave me "euphoric" feelings, as I thought what I was reading was the final solution to my poor trading results.

The psychology books (Douglas) also gave me feelings of unearned confidence.

In-depth "reading" at least a year's worth of charts in my TFs, looking for very specific, recurring signals, took a long ass time (much longer than reading a book), but translated well to actual trading.

In lieu of 3 books, suggest a year's worth of charts, in 3 time frames.

This one? I bought it but didn't read one page, it has lots of math formulas that I don't understand, if I remember correctly. :(

What about technical analysis from R. Murphy. I think it's the must-read book for any newbie who is interested in technical analysis and its application.
 
It's an interesting read but it all depends what you want to do with it ... if you want to daytrade forget about it ...
