You don't have An American Hedge Fund by Mr. Sykes. I like to write my vote in.

No Trading in the Zone by Douglas ?

No Trading Chart Patterns by Duddella ?

Those books are decent but you're missing some real gems like:

"The Practical Speculator" by Neiderhoffer

"When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long Term Capital Management" by Lowenstein

Today: Dynamic Hedging - Taleb
Five years ago: Trader Vic
Twenty years ago: Probably the single most important book to read as a novice:

http://www.amazon.com/Technical-Ana...6813547?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193889492&sr=8-1

When you come to the market from every angle, and understand what piece goes where, it is when you begin to make money.

"...We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time..." - T.S. Eliot.

It is only now that I understand, twenty years later, what the value of Murphys' book is, where I started.
