What book or class influences your trading today the most?

I am curious as to what trading book, tape, class or guru influences your trading today the most. I think it would be interesting and helpful to know.

Mine as you probably guessed is Don Miller. It is his Emini course that influenced me the most.

No one book, but the combination of em all with my discussions with other traders...

Well, you can give us a list if you want to. I would say a lot of my "tweaks" came from other traders too.....

"Education of a Speculator" - Niederhoffer

I think this is a definite must read for this business. The chapter on horse racing probably influenced my trading style more than anything else I have read.
