Hi.

Would experienced traders give their valued oppions on my choise of books?

Agreed - no need for books yet, use this forum and other sites for information.

But its not just facts you need - more important is how to use them. It is not possible to predict 100% what the market will do, but you must be able to predict 100% what you will do if the market does X, Y or Z. Real traders on this site will help you predict and control your own responses. This site is free, so costs less than books, but the market costs the most.
