I'd personally like more insights into the minds and the daily life of a professional trader - there's a lot on mindset out there already but I'd love to know more about the mundane day-to-day process of the pro's and their personal approaches to trading etc.
That's a really good point that! I might reach out to some traders as well and create a mini series on that, how they go about their day, what they do when its bad, what they do when its good!
I think there's a lot of crossover from a lot of those other trading markets - lts using money to make money and we aren't conditioned to do that!
-
@Ryan I bet they would make for some great podcast guests, hopefully you can get them on sometime!

@Alex-Rendell I will add the art of trading to my list!
I have been chatting with a few stock traders at my gym and trying to get them to come on the BTC podcast as I think it could be really good show!
What would you like to hear more of from the BTC pod?

I was on the hunt for some podcast recommendations and came across this old thread, which had a few that I'd not heard of before. Thought I'd try and get the thread going again with a few of my own recommendations (in no particular order):-
-Betfair Trading Community (obviously);
-The Art of Trading by Matthew Slabosz (he's a retail trader but a lot of the info is relevant to us and the mindset stuff is really good);
-FTS Betslip (football trading podcast with some general ramblings and more excellent mindset talk too);
-Business of Betting;
-Be Better Bettors by (the legendary) Spanky;
-Bet The Process
-The Smart Betting Club (which is a tipster-based platform but still a good listen);
-PinnacleIf anyone has any more to add, or opinions on any of the above then I'd be more than happy to hear it!

@lee-woodman From my Poker playing days the same author had a similar book called the Mental Side of Poker which was always well regarded will check this out, thanks
-
@lee-woodman I'll grab a copy of this one
-
I’ve just finished listening to ‘The mental game of trading’ by Jared Tendler and it’s a really really good book on the mentality of trading. I’ll definitely listen to it repeatedly to help keep working on that side of things. It’s got separate chapters for different issues (confidence, greed, fear, tilt, discipline) so you can dive in and out and it gives you really good ideas for identifying and correcting issues. Even if you don’t think one of the issues applies it’s definitely an interesting listen
-
@lee-woodman Cracking isn't it! Have you read the black edge too?
-
@martin-futter That book is great, it really helped productivity a lot. I followed it up with essentialism by Greg mckeown which is kind of similar but not so much to be repetitive
-
-
@lee-woodman Yeah it's not as good, I wouldn't recommend it. There are so many books out there which are basically glorified TED talks.
YouTube has a quick 8 episode summary of Principles. I found Episode 3 "The Five Step Process" the most useful and could be applied to any trading strategy.

@lee-woodman I never used to read until about 3 or 4 years ago but started the same as you. I walk to and from work which is 5 miles in total. I would listen to podcasts and audiobooks, plus my work allows me to listen during work hours. 20 minutes here and there quickly adds up. Speaking of which, Audible have a 2 for 1 sale on now and I just got The Education of a Value Investor.
The first time I read Principles I didn't get what the fuss way about. I read it again last summer while furloughed and a lot more made sense. I've got the pdf I can send you because that might make more sense on how he's broken down the principles.
I've read a few of the books you've suggested. I'm going to add the rest to my wishlist. In addition to those:
Personal Finance - I Will Teach You to be Rich by Ramit Sethi (he jokes with Tim Ferriss that they have the worst book titles) is really good. I would say it's my top recommended personal finance book. I see a few people dabble with investments and index funds, Money by Tony Robbins is good because he speaks with experts who break down their allocation and the reasons why. It's a pretty chunky book so he streamlined it in Unshakable
Personal Development - I've been listening to The Daily Stoic podcast and also Jocko podcast. He's a retired Navy SEAL and it's good for some no-nonsense discipline!
Also The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* by Mark Manson was really good.I’ll definitely check some of these out, as you get through more it becomes hard to find decent reads so having some recommendations helps. I liked the subtle art, I was going to to read ‘everything is f*cked’ which I think is a follow up but heard it was a bit crap!

Some crackers here
Bad blood
How to own the world
Black Swan
Fooled by RandomnessOne I LOVED was Billion Dollar Whale
I forgot to mention that one, great book and just shows sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction!

Ive just started reading 4 hour work week from lees suggestion earlier

Following on from what @Lee-woodman said about retaining information, I wonder if it's worth making a book club blog? Just a quick review of the book and any key lessons. I know when people start recommending loads it's hard to know where to start so might get others reading too. I would also be interested to hear stories of how traders relate what they learn from books into their trades.
-
@stuart-capstick I've wanted to read both of those so I'll definitely get on that.
That's an interesting concept. I heard a podcast today that talked about how luck is neither good nor bad but just how we interpret it. For example if one person was trading under 1.5G in a game and another was trading o1.5G and there was a lucky goal, that would be good luck to one person and bad luck to another although it's the exact same situation. Depending on each person's perception of luck it will impact how they continue to trade for the rest of the day.
