Hi,

Ca anyone tell me which are the must read books for a naive trader? The area doesn't matter much (Equity, FI, FX, Deri, Commodities, CDO's other derivatives).

I have a good library, and these are the ones that proved to be the gems:

- Everything written by David S. Nassar (esp. "Rules of the Trade")
- All the books written by Ari Kiev
- "Trading in the Zone" by Marc Douglas
- "Mindtraps" by Roland Barach
- The "Market Wizards" series by Jack Schwager
- "Reniniscences of a Stock Operator" by Jesse Livermore

Edit:
Oh yeah, and of course the wizards section on www.hardrightedge.com and the "Day Trading Fundamentals" Thread on SI (you need to be registered): http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=15184479

I'm going to recommend my upcoming book, "An American Hedge Fund" (you knew I had to)

I wrote it for beginners and veterans alike. Here's the latest review just posted last night:

you're right- that is a great book for a naive trader to buy.

Ashu, btw type Timothy Sykes in search and read the threads to come to your own conclusions.
