Hi All - thanks very much for all the suggestions!
 
Chuck - that really sounds like a great idea, doesn't it?   In fact, I had the same exact thought a couple of months ago when I stumbled across the MTA website while searching for something or other.  Before buying, I went to Amazon to read the user reviews for the whole set, and was very surprised to find that most of the MTA's required reading was not regarded very highly by most of the people who felt strongly enough to bother posting a review. Many recommend what they considered to be "better" books covering the same material. It left me at a loss to explain it - maybe the reading was too difficult, or maybe it was geared towards academia rather than actual trading in the trenches - I don't really know, because I gave up on the idea after reading so many negative reviews. It was a good thought anyway - perhaps some CMT's in the group would care to comment?
 
Patrick, I like your suggestion - rave reviews on Amazon, all 5-stars except for one 4-star. I think I will combine it with Covel's trend following book ( thanks Dick! ) - it appears that the former advocates base-hits over home runs while the latter advocates swinging for the fences, yet both garnered great reviews and apparently made good money for readers following thier systems - should be interesting to compare/contrast the two. Actually, I have been trying out some of my work on weekly bars recently, and my impression to date is that swing-trading and trend-following methods often now result in very similar trades because weekly bars seem to be generally smoother and have more "well defined" pivots than daily bars. Any thoughts on this?
 
OK, thanks again to everyone - I checked out all suggestions and added many to my "wish list" - your help is much appreciated!
 
Steve

Why not give the "boxed set" -- the complete list of required reading for the CMT exam?  Not light reading, but also not shlock.....

Chick Goslin's "Trading Day by Day" - easily one of the best I've read for a while.  His approach - at least the technical bits, can easily be programmed in Amibroker.  Email me if you do read the book - I'd be happy to share some of my work with Goslin's approach.

Cheers,
Lal

Hi,
 
Well, it's Christmas again and people are asking me what I want but I can't come up with much, so I thought I might ask for a couple of trading books. Anyone read anything lately that you learned something new or valuable from and would care to recommend? All suggestions welcome - thanks very much!
