Well, welcome to this web site which is here to help you find best
stock market trading books. However before you proceed, here is a word
of caution. If you are a new trader or are just exploring the world
of stock trading, here is one warning/advice. Trading is very risky
and is not suitable for everyone. It is much more probable for one to
lose money in trading than to make. It seems pretty easy to make money
by trading stocks but predicting short term price movements and to benefit
from that is very difficult in real life.
However if you have decided to get into stock trading, welcome to this
world of traders. On this web site, I am going to share my findings/experiences
about stock trading and show you what to look for in a stock trading
book.
What should you expect in a good stock trading book?
It is always tough to find a good book on any subject. Stock trading
is no exception. Stock trading is not a perfect science. There are no
100% perfect rules. So if you are looking for a sure fire way to make
money in any stock trading book, you are bound to get disappointed.
If you go to any library, you will find hundreds of book on the subject
of investing/trading. However if you read few of them, you will know
how disappointing it is to find a good book on stock trading.
So how to find a good stock trading book?
Look for following things:
- What is needed for success in trading?
A good stock market trading book should list components/factors for
success in stock trading
- Know your biggest enemy in trading: YOU!
A stock trading book should also talk at length about influence of
emotions in stock trading. The biggest enemy of any trader is himself.
His emotions like fear, greed, hopes, regrets. For success in stock
trading, it is very important to approach trading objectively and
reasonably. A trader needs to have a system that takes him above these
emotions. So in my opinion, a good stock trading book should talk
about how to create an objective trading system. So any book on trading
should include some practical tips on how to create a trading system
or a trading plan.
- Planning for stock trading: Plan your Trades and
Trade as per your Plan
Stock trading is a business (because it is done for making money).
So like in a business, in stock trading, one needs to do solid planning
before making any buy/sell/trade. How much money should you reserve
for trading? How much maximum loss you can take? How many trades to
do in a month/day/week? How much risk should be taken per trade?
Here are some guidelines about how
to make a trading plan.
- Limit your losses with Stop loss
Stop loss-- this has to be third word after Buy and Sell that you learn
before you even think about getting into trading. What is a stop-loss?
What are the types of stop-loss? How to place a stoploss? How to use
a stop loss to your maximum advantage?
For answer to such questions, look
at this one page that talks all about stoploss.
Once (i) you have a trading plan, (ii) you know about stoploss and
(iii) are aware about emotions in play, it is the time for you to look
out in the market to decide which stock to buy or which stock to sell.
Who said trading is easy? It is tougher than the job of a doctor or engineer.
You can teach all science out there to a medical professional or a computer
engineer in few years but trading is an art. Can teach art to someone?
Not fully. Art has to be a second nature of the person. Same goes for
trading.
This is a million dollar question? Which stock to buy and when to buy
that stock. You need a system or set of indicators to find stocks to
trade. Click
here to look at one signal in the PROFIT FROM PRICES system. Do
spend some time to learn it. This will guide you with how to create
your own system to find stocks for trading.

Excellent! This book which
is a complete trading methodology, including specific setups, gives
more detailed trading information than books by "big name" authors
costing 4 - 10 times the price. You can't go wrong buying this book.
