This book teaches you to be a disciplined player, avoiding emotional mistakes. The author relies in his book on three postulates: individual psychology, a clear system and control of capital.
Fundamental analysis takes no less significant place in the trade. At the same time, fundamental analysis, unlike technical analysis, may seem to some people more difficult and ambiguous.
3. L. Kolmykova “Fundamental analysis of financial markets”
In this book, the author actually gives a guide to action, where she describes the effects of various fundamental factors on different assets. It gives a very detailed description of the market expectations and psychological aspects.
Money management is the most important topic of trading. Because it does not matter how much you can earn, if you could not save a profit.
4. R. Wins “Mathematics of Money Management: Risk Analysis Methods for Traders and Portfolio Managers”
A very useful book, which should be viewed as an instruction for money management. This book provides clear concepts for risk management and money management.
Semi-autobiography of an employee of an investment bank, who will give an idea of the work of a large bank
This book will be significantly different from previous ones, while giving a very clear picture of the backstage life of an investment bank.
