Great books that are dirt cheap!

These books cover a wide range of technical analysis and trading topics.  I have read and/or utilized ideas from these books for developing trading ideas and in help writing my own books.  I wanted to see what I could get for less than $13 a book.  I was pleasantly surprised at what I could get at Thriftbooks.com for this price or lower.  If you go a little higher in price, you will get some really great deals too.  Yes, these books are old, and I am sure I have left out some great names, but the bang for the buck is ridiculous.

Note – I captured the Add to Cart button in the IMAGES – IT DOES NOT WORK.  I wanted to show the various editions of each book.  Go to www.thriftbooks.com and search for the title or author and you should be able to find these books just like I did.  Also check out amazon.com

The Gallacher, Taleb, McKay, Schwager, and Livermore (Lefevre) books are fun reads that give an honest view of trading in general.  Elders’ book just needs to be any trader’s library.

The Edwards and Magee, Sklarew and Darvas books are classics.

Sunny Harris’ book is great for beginners.

The Stridsman and Rotella books are concrete methods to systematic trading.

Kaufman and McCormick/Katz are great reference books.

The Conway book has great EasyLanguage examples.

You can learn a lot from Schwager’s first book.

Learn optimization from Robert Pardo and money management from Fred Gehm’s classic.

If you go up in price a little bit, you will get Ralph Vince, Larry Williams, John Carter, Rober Carver, Andreas Clenow, and Ernie Chan.  If you are just starting out, you must have a trading library, and this would be a great start for the first shelf.
