As the title suggests, I am looking for a trading book. I do not really care if it is for currency or stocks or whatever as I believe all market foundations remain similar.

I don't mind any type of books whether it's technical or psychological.

However before you recommend anything, please make sure that this rule is satisfied:

THE AUTHOR MUST BE A PROFITABLE TRADER DURING HIS TIME

Thats pretty much the only thing I care about.

Thank you everyone in advance

I'm not sure any author of any book has been proven to have been successful, but could be wrong there. My favorite technical book has been Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar by Al Brooks. Million Dollar Trader by Don Miller was interesting, particularly during some of his draw down days.
Small disciplines repeated with consistency lead to great achievements.

david dreman's ....... contrarian investment strategies......


chapter 1..... the sure thing that almost nobody plays......

You go home and get your stash. You return to the casino with your fistful of money, excited, eager for action, all the time figuring how you'll do even better at the game. But then a strange thing happens. You walk into the red wing and start to play.
//-----

just a note of caution, contrarian investing works best for those in no real need for money and plenty of real time not to need it in......h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

Well, I'd say Soros would certainly qualify for the "profitable trader" requirement. I may pick up that one and give it a read.
If in doubt, paddle out!

The Alchemy of finance, that’s a really good book. Even I would suggest that.

This is a great video, I never watched before but I did come up with the same conclusion after couple years of conclusion. Thank you.

I just hoped he would explain more how to identify where we are at exactly at the bigger picture

Hi,
Ray Dalio is an investor, not a trader. Significant difference I'd say.
Fundamental analysis works mostly for large investment portfolios, not for the up&down Forex roulette.

Forex is random. Stocks grows permanently (sure, some casual recessions, but lifetime overall growing)
In investment, if you're stupid strategist, you only need big capital and pacience. Market will get you something somehow if you're patient.
In Forex ...you need luck mostly And that makes it a gamble

I'd recommend NNTaleb - Fooled By Randomness.
Taleb was a player fooled by randomness in the market before he became a successful investor
It will make you understand the diff between gambling, trading and investing.

Exactly. Keeeeep adjusting! Good luck!
I'll rest my case.
People are not aware of what randomness really is.
That's why 95% of you lose money in Forex
