WELCOME TO ALPHACHAIN TRADERS

RECOMMENDED READING LIST

“A well-known Wall Street Trader had gone on a fishing trip for a week, he hired a fly-fishing guide and off they set. By the end of the week not only did the trader catch a 24 pound sea-run brown trout on a fly but returned the favour to his guide by offering him a trading job. He provided a list of books to read and when he finished reading them, to give him a call.”

Please aim to read the following books in this order before and during your course at Alphachain Traders. We believe self-study is as important as completing the programme. In trading you never stop learning
