The thing is you cant learn trading from reading about it. It requires active involvement. Generally, the only kinds of books that interest me with regard to trading are books that discuss the traders decision-making process, the short-term results, the long-term effects of the decision and what the person learned. Techniques change, they dont matter that much, the important thing is how a person goes about doing whatever they are doing in spite of all the information and market noise surrounding them. Good decision-making is more valuable than good information.
