RECOMMENDED BOOKS
Brian Shannon’s book on technical analysis using multiple time-frames is one of the best for explaining market structure and simple trading strategies. If you are new to trading, this is a great well-rounded book:
Al Brooks technical analysis of price action for the serious trader series built the foundation for how I learned to read price action. These are dense books, and a bit advanced, but well worth the reads for serious traders.
I couldn’t leave out the classic, must read Market Wizard series by Jack Schwager where he interviews the world’s top traders:
Finally, two timeless classics with loads of market wisdom:
