Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in the Markets and in Life by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Summary

A strongly opinionated book that introduces the world to the importance of understanding randomness and how randomness is playing a role that is far greater than most people are willing to accept. It is one of the most important book of its time showing us how people under estimated risk and and over estimated their ability to handle future uncertainties. A thought provoking book for all traders, especially those who have not ingrained tight risk control in their mindsets yet.

ForeX Trading for Maximum Profit: The Best Kept Secret Off Wall Street by Raghee Horner

Summary

One of the best introductory books on forex I have seen. Unlike the window shopping type beginner books that just browse over all the basic topics, Ms. Horner, a professional trader, documented a complete trading method in the book. The details are there as long as you are willing to read the book slowly to absorb the materials. Anyone who want to jump ship from trading equities into the forex markets will find this book a great starting point. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn trading forex profitably.
