As far as TA is concerned, we wouldn't need much more than a good handle on price and volume, would we?
With regard to the psycho aspect I think that "Trading in the Zone", by Mark Douglas, is the best. I do like the idea of trading like a casino owner, i.e., putting the odds in our favour in the long run.

The End of An Age
By John Lukacs
It's NEW!!
Not specific to trading but might be useful to some. Who knows?
Some subjects covered,
The limits of knowledge, limits of objectivity, of definitions, mathematics, the inevitability of relationships, how statistical data is often not very useful in predicting events (and why he thinks that is), Heisenberg and Duhem. An interesting idea of the increasing intrusion of mind into matter. "For many years our money, stocks, and bonds are not even on paper or in our actual possession: they are POTENTIAL "values", consisting of configurations of graphic dust recorded on disks or films. This is explained to us as part and parcel of the Information Revolution. Yet the very word "information" is false: it is not in-formation; it does not form our inner selves. Its proper description is The Imaging Of Matter. He see's a parallel between history and QM as far as the relationship (or lack thereof) between cause and effect. The books full of interesting stuff. Doesn't give stock picks though.

nitro:
Do you feel this is the best read?
By the way, do you keep records only of your trading decisions, or do you also keep records of the reasons for entering and exiting a trade?
