I'm looking for some reading material for a forthcoming holiday and need some recommendations for finance trading books, ideally for the kindle.
I'm not interested in the 10 page 'wait till 50 EMA crosses 100 EMA, on a Tuesday, when it's raining' type books - more sort of experiences or diaries of traders, preferably Forex day traders.
I'm going to give Lee Sandford's book a try, not for any inspiration on his 'systems' just because I'm interested in the path he took from playing football to trading.
I've read the Taleb - Black Swan and Fooled By Randomness books and found them a bit heavy going at times so hopefully something a bit lighter? I tried The Naked Trader one as well but got a bit bored of it and only got half way, not asking much am I ? smile
Thought this might be the best place to try first as I guess there are one or two PistonHead traders out there.

If you are seriously thinking of launching into Forex day trading, please don't.
You will lose money.
Probably lots.
I already day trade - albeit with a demo account as and when work permits.

oh dear...
Sheesh I was only asking for some light reading on holiday.
If I read a footballers biography would that mean I had aspirations of becoming footballer ?
I use a demo account to trade Forex during the day, I find it interesting and am under no illusions that I'll be closing my business next week and becoming a full time day trader.
Sorry if you have a problem with that.
