What are the must read books on day trading?

[DallasCowboysFan]

Reminisces of a Stock Operator..........Edwin Lefevre.....published in 1922...timeless wisdom

Simple Option Trading Options.......Billy Williams........good beginner book well written and only about $14 on Amazon....the figures were blurry but the explanations were clear

Understanding Options .........Michael Sincere........good beginning book $11

After these you can graduate to MacMillan's books they are much more $
I also found that the magazine Stocks and Commodities is useful.

I like Joe Ross's book "Trading by the Minute" as a good one to learn about price behavior.

I agree. (It's actually been re-published now, in a new edition under the title "Daytrading", but at least three-quarters of the content is the same.)

Daytraders are involved in a suckers game. Position traders can be profitable.

That's a flawed assumption

I'm sure this has been asked and answered tons of times. Just point my impertinent question in the right direction of any existing list. I'm especially fond of Mastering the Trade and High Probability Trading. There's still room in my bathroom for a few more volumes. My strategy is make a few bucks buy a book.

imho there are no must read books on day-trading

Well a word of warning is in order;
T [Thomas]Boone Pickens said most CEOs care about shareholders as much as they care about a baboon!! LOL-LOL

Best books are Top Traders books by Jack Schwager. I think the worst are M Douglas books, even though some like his books.Proverbs is a good one.MODERN TRADER is a helpful magazine[free to qualified traders]

Cant really go by millions of sales numbers or popularity.WSJ has NEVER been half the newspaper of IBD [Investors Business Daily, founder featured in jack Scwager Top Traders books] Have taken them both...... Good question
