Where to start from when it comes to trading

I often get a question from various people about list of books they should read before they start with trading. My short answer is always the same - As many as possible! 

Here is a list of several books that I like a lot. 


Psychology of trading:

(Dr. Brett Steenbarger is a must – With all three books written by him.)

The Psychology of Trading

Enhancing Trader Performance

The Daily Trading Coach

Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas

-------------------------------------

Technical Analysis:

Technical Analysis Explained by Martin Pring is a must

The Candlestick course by Steve Nison
-------------------------------------

Other: 

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre

Market Wizards by Jack Schwager

Trading for living by Dr Alexander Elder

Come into my trading room by Dr Alexander Elder


These books are just to start with. When you are done, there are many other more sophisticated books discussing different trading topics.

Trading is a performance field in which one must learn every day. Even after almost six years of successful trading I’m still buying books and looking for new ideas. If one wants to be successful in trading, then that one must love and appreciate trading as endeavour - Just because of that love and appreciation one should consistently try to enhance his/her knowledge and skill. 

Isn’t that case with anything you do in your life?

Trade with trend.

Howdy! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
Does building a well-established blog like yours require a lot of work?
I am completely new to blogging but I do write in my diary everyday.
I'd like to start a blog so I can share my experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

I leave a response whenever I appreciate a article on a site or if
I have something to add to the discussion. Usually it's a result of the passion communicated in the post I browsed. And after this post "Where to start from when it comes to trading". I was moved enough to post a thought ;) I do have a few questions for you if it's okay.
Could it be only me or do a few of these remarks come across as if they are left by
brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on other places, I'd like to follow everything new you have to post. Would you make a list the complete urls of your social pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
