Pure inspiration and background of what it may take to be successful in this business - lots of heartbreaks and failures.
12. Trading and Exchanges - An absolute must for any TRADER. This should ideally have been #1 on my list. But I just remembered it.
13. Adding this recent release to the list.
Advanced Futures Trading by @investingidiocy
14. This is one of the books that does not have trading systems or methods, but is a very good starter book to create statistically sound indicators for trading.
The algos in this are in C++, yet with modern day Python its fairly trivial to replicate.
Warning: not easy for non-stat/non-quant traders.
Statistically Sound Indicators - Timothy Masters
