1. The Market Wizards by J Schwager
This gives the newcomer an overall look at what the experts are doing and is a real eye opener. A must read. See BillF post above.
2. Technical Analysis from A to Z by S B Achelis.
Achelis is the maker and marketer of MetaStock charting package and makes this book available 'free to read' on his web site. Make it part of your favorites folder.
3. Any of the books by D Guppy, an Australian trader and guru of note. He spends a lot of time writing and probably makes a good profit from that as well as trading. He has a web site as well which is worth adding to your favorites folder.
All of the above are necessary reading by any would be trader of
FX, for back ground reality as well as strategies and techniques etc.
Good trading to all.............
