Trading and Technical Analysis Books

A wise man once said, "We learn to read so that we can read to learn."

Most of us dream about building wealth everyday but only a select few will actually do something about it. As with any other endeavors in life, there is no short cut to trading success. To be successful in trading, one requires discipline, patience and above all, knowledge and skills to make it happen.

So the first step is obvious, seek out information and read it. We should not forget, however, that having information does not necessarily equate to having knowledge and having knowledge does not necessarily mean we have acquired wisdom. Nevertheless, it all must begin with information, without which, we would be greatly handicapped if we ever aspire to become knowledgeable if not wise.

As our focus at TradeSignum.com is on trading with Technical Analysis, our suggested reading list invariably contains primarily books on trading and Technical Analysis. While certain trading system, such as CANSLIM, developed by the legendary William J. O’Neil, makes use of both Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis, we will not be including any material that focuses mainly on Fundamental Analysis here on our list but if you are interested in learning more about Fundamental Analysis, and there are plenty of such materials out there, by all means we encourage you to do so as with more information, there is power.

We will continue to expand the list here as time goes by.
