How to get trading books - FOR FREE!

Books on trading are very thick, in general. They contain wealth of trading knowledge from some of the best traders out there. They are very expensive as well. I have bought a number of trading books, mostly from Amazon. My latest purchase cost me close to S$300 for 3 books!

I was so astonished to find out that electronic versions (aka e-books) of those books that I've bought are available right on the Internet for download and FOR FREE!!!

What happened?

Nowadays, almost everyone's PCs or laptops are connected to the Internet. We need the Internet. Some of us even run web servers off our PCs or laptops to serve out webpages from our PCs/laptops. Well, of course, there may be cases whereby people are not aware that they had their web servers turned on. When we have our web servers turned on, anyone from the Internet can see the files that we have on our PCs/laptops unless we secure them properly of course!

How can we find these people?

Using what is tauted as the most powerful tool on planet earth that can even potentially support acts of terrorism unknowingly - GOOGLE.

The Secret

Now try to google this:

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(pdf|doc) “come into my trading room″

This is how I find all the electronic versions for most of the books that I have bought, for free, with many other trading e-books as well. Give it a try. You will be surprised at what you can find!

But, do get the original copy of the books if you find that they are really good. Give the authors due credit!
