You should go with “Currency Trading for Dummies” or “How to make a Living Trading Foreign Exchange: A Guaranteed Income for Life.”
What trading books would you recommend?

I have heard a lot about this book “How to make a Living Trading Foreign Exchange: A Guaranteed Income for Life.” Is it really worth reading?

I have read the latter one. Thats a really good read.
Hi " Jesse", a reaction from across the pond. No I do not live in The Netherlands, I mean across the bigger pond. I live in Canada.
I have about 200 titles in my trading and trading related library ( MISTAKE # 1 ! Trading does not become any better or easier by reading more ( conflicting ) well intentioned books.
The book I mention because it has had such profound impact, on my own (Option Trading) is by Mark Douglas, "Trading in the zone" . May have an impact beyond trading. The other I will mention is about Warren Buffett " The Snowball " it can be summarized in one word FOCUS.
That is what Warren and Bill Gates agreed ,when asked at a dinner part by another guest , was the key to their successes. It also is consistent with my opening line LOL. FOCUS, easy to spell and remember, hard to consistently apply and practice.
So read, at least the intro of Atomuc Habits as well. You may learn something about British Speed Cycling LOL

Yes. This book is quite interesting. It gives a piece of advice on how to maximize profits during high volatility. Also, he has talked about his unique Rejection Rule that doubles the profit of basic channel breakout systems. You need to read it.

That's a hell of a claim? Does she actually show you a testable method that will accomplish this?

Did anybody mention J Hulls derivative and financial instruments book. Very good introduction for algo traders
FREE
I'm getting rid of a number of trading related books that I've collected over the years. I have tried offering these on other threads but no interest. I'll keep them for another few weeks...say until the end of August and then they're going to charity/bin.
The specialist trading ones include Hull, Kolb and Curtis Faith (Turtle guy) and a couple of others domain-relevant.
There are also some more general subject matter of use to anyone seriously interested in the "human" challenges to trading.
There are some 13 books in all and I just want them to go to a good home and don't want money. I can't be bothered to pack up and post them so they are for collection in South West London as one lot or I'd be happy to meet up somewhere in London to hand them over.
See list below:
Futures, Options and Other Derivatives - John Hull*
Futures, Options and Other Derivatives - Solutions Manual - John Hull
Futures, Options and Swaps - Robert Kolb**
Way of the Turtle - Curtis Faith
The Black Swan - Nassim Taleb
Lecturing Birds on Flying - Pablo Triana
A Treatise on Probability - John Maynard Keynes
Super Freakonomics - Steven Levitt & Stephen Dubner
The Organised mind - Daniel Levitin
Predictably Irrational - Dan Ariely
The Perils of Perception - Bobby Duffy
The Brain that changes itself - Norman Doidge
Tricks of the Mind - Derren Brown
59 Seconds - Richard Wiseman
As you can see, the lower section is psychy/thinky/brainy type stuff. I found all of them to be interesting/useful in varying degrees. Super Freakonomics is somewhat alone but good stuff for anyone interested in the the quali/quanti debate so beloved of TA/FA rivals.... or put another way, The Art of Science. In any case it's entertaining and informative.
Condition of most is good or mint with the exception of the ones with asterisks:
* cover chewed by dog
**cover chewed by T.Rex
Both complete and pages in good condition

Wow, that's an impressive collection, thanks for sharing! Unfortunately I'm not from England, but I will check some of these books out for myself.

"50 Pips a Day Forex Strategy" by Laurentiu Damir is a good read.

I can recommend Hull's Option Futures and other derivatives, it's great introduction book into pricing of various assets and financial modelling.
