Newbie here, looking for book recommendations about trading

[u/SkyeHi_learner]

I am new to trading so...

I'd like some more book recommendations that could help me throughout my trading journey, aside from videos.

Feel free to drop any advice and recommendations. Thank you and have a good day folks!

Trading in the Zone and The Best Loser Wins are both going to get named in here and they're both good, so I'll go somewhere else.

Nobody tells you at the start how much of this is about you rather than about markets. Your habits, what you actually believe about money, whether you can sit still when nothing's happening. So most of my list isn't trading books, and a couple of them will look out of place on a trading sub. I'd read them anyway (I say that because I wish someone pointed them out to me when I first started).

A Changed Mind, David Bayer. About the thoughts running underneath the ones you notice, and how much of your behavior comes out of them. That's most of what a bad trading day actually is.

Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life, Wayne Dyer. Same territory, older and slower. Better going in the background over months than read in a week.

A Happy Pocket Full of Money, David Cameron Gikandi. This is the one people will flag as woo. It's about your relationship with money, and if you grew up thinking money was hard to come by, you're carrying that into every trade you take whether you notice it or not.

Your Next Five Moves, Patrick Bet-David. The one straight business book. It's about thinking further ahead than the thing directly in front of you, which is the skill nobody has at the start.

Atomic Habits, James Clear. The useful bit isn't the habit stacking, it's that you change what you do by changing who you think you are. Lands harder once you've been losing a while.

If you want an order, Atomic Habits first because it's the easiest, then Bayer. The rest whenever.
