Advanced Reading List

Start Here. I have listed these books in the order in which I believe you should read them These books are best left until you have read all the others named above, and probably until you have been trading for a while. Some of the concepts in these advanced books will be best understood after you have made some mistakes on your own, and have begun learning from the school of hard knocks.
