After conducting a thorough search on this site, it seems a few futures trading books stand above the rest. Since I'm a student on a limited budget, I can buy about one book a month, hence, in what order should I purchase the following books and would it be necessary to read all these books due to possible content overlap?
1- The Futures Game: http://www.amazon.com/Futures-Game-Who-Wins-Loses/dp/0070647577
2- Schwager on Fundamental Analysis: http://www.amazon.com/Futures-Textb...f=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312052640&sr=1-
3- Technical Analysis- The complete resource for financial market technicians
[need it for the CMT exam and I'm not sure if I should buy Murphy's book instead]: http://www.amazon.com/Technical-Analysis-Complete-Financial-Technicians/dp/0137059442/ref=pd_sim_b_3
4- The encyclopedia of commodity and financial spreads: http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-...=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312052879&sr=1-6
My goal is to attain a fairly thorough understanding of the futures markets over the next five months and then hopefully proceed to start building a track record.
Thanks for the much appreciated help!
