While the amount of money a trader loses initially can vary, that money could have been put to better use, subscribing to a few industry-renowned trading magazines. Not only do these trading magazines offer you valuable information but quite often you can pick up nuggets of wisdom that would have otherwise been missed.

So without much further ado, and regardless of whether you trade stocks, forex or futures, and options, here are the top five trading magazines that have not only stood the test of time but are also known to provide some top notch content.
