hi guys, please recommend me some books on future trading, thanks

There are several good reccomendations in the book review section. But I really enjoyed John Carters Mastering the Trade. John Carters style works very well with my personality, so thats just a heads up. He thinks the same way I do (for the most part) so I'm pretty lucky finding a book like that.

What kind of futures Jim?

[jim bin]

thank you james and Mrpaul, i know very little about future so i can't say what kind, maybe index is what i meant, myself just started reading some trading books, and thinking day trading might be something i want to do, i saw people talking about emini future ..... i guess i should ask this at beginners forum......i saw people talking about emini a lot but just can't find a book titled with "emini", sorry for my ignorance, so i want to take time to get more education.

Jim,

Nevermind those ratings, I'll agree and say that Mastering The Trade by John Carter is a great book. Also I would recommend Techniques Of Tape Reading by Vadym Graifer and Mastering Futures Trading by Bo Yoder.

I really like this one after the first reading. It's very complete, especially in basic technical analysis, such as Elliot Waves, Gann, and Patterns, among other traditional price pattern techniques.

Wow, I didn't know he had a book on futures markets. I read his book The Visual Investor or something like that, great book for TA. I learned a lot, I'll have to check that one out.


The problem I find with most books is they aren't advanced enough. Most books I read just skim the surface, it's hard to find a book that really goes into it and teaches me something I haven't yet learned. Has anyone else experienced that?
