A short list of recommended books
There are a few books that we think all traders should have read at some time or another. As this site is focused on traders rather than investors, the books that we list here lean towards books that are somewhat skewed in focus. These books are pretty much classics that should be read by all short-term traders. Even long-term investors can benefit by reading these books.
The list is offered with no comment.
