Recommended reading?

What books would you recommend to a newbie trader? I suppose the three most important aspects are money management, technical analysis and development and evaluation of trading systems. I am messing since October 2008 with the stock market and still can't figure out what "studying the market" is. I find my self staring at the charts without understanding much, without knowing where to put my stops or even if I spot resistances and supports correctly . .

So, can someone please be so kind an recommend me books that helped them?
Thank you very much for your time

Get something on how markets behave: Wyckoff on price action (or Stan Weinstein for a softer view) and perhaps Dalton's Mind of the Markets for the Auction Market Theory view.

Get something on how how traders behave: Douglas's Trading in the Zone.

If you can find it somewhere get the Trend Dynamics course.

If an indicator other than price, volume, an ma or two, or a vwap is involved then run the other way.

Was recommended this by an experienced trader, and have just acquired it:

"High Probability Trading", by Marcel Link.

Some of it may seem pretty basic, but then trading is pretty basic, and that's one of the lessons of this book, although not the only one by any means.

If you tend to trade anything that moves, every time it moves, then this might be one for you.
Oh yes, he has some interesting things to say about where to put stops.
