Try Jim Cramer's books. I haven't read them personally bc I only invest in mutual funds, but I've heard they are good books for those who are stock traders.

Bill O'Neil's "How to Make Money in the Stock Market".
Peter Lynch - One Up on Wall Street
"Rule #1" is a good book.
The Warren Buffet Way

Just do a search, you'll find hundreds of them. Personally, if you want to learn the intricacies of market mechanics, then watching or participating is the best education. Try my sig. link for a couple of free stock trading simulators and learn by doing.

I assume you mean quick, intra-day trading as opposed to holding for any significant length of time?

Try 'Sound Mind Investing'.

Bogglehead's guide to investing... probably not what you're looking for but a must read imo.

I also like Jim Camer's books.

O'Neil's book is good for shorter-term trading.

A Random Walk Down Wall Street should be recommended reading for everyone, though.

Here is an easy reading book I found that has helped me "A beginners guide to Daytrading Online" by Toni Turner. Another great book to have is "Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets" by Stan Weinstein's

How to count cards in Black Jack using a single deck.

You sound like the hare and not the tortoise. Seriously, I like "How a Second Grader Beats Wall Street" - Allan S. Roth.

I think I have to agree with frito here. The best book on stock trading is probably one that convinces you not to do it.

You can try the following books, they are my favorites:
Fooled by Randomness, by Taleeb
The Misbehavior of Markets: A Fractal View of Financial Turbulence, by by Benoit Mandelbrot
Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk , by Bernstein
The Intelligent Investor: The Classic Text on Value Investing , by Graham

The links can be found on my blog site (below)

If you mean by how the a trade / transaction is settled/matched in stock exchange. Then I don't know any book. But, if you want to know how to buy and sell stocks in market, you need to buy five rules for successful stock investing by pat dorsey. You may also need to read intelligent investor by ben graham as given by another amedvedovski .
