I use several of them geared toward traders. However, the term active trader is misused as far as what all these magazines contain. The closest to an active trader magazine was the one published by Wasendorf's PFG (partially at my expense) and now gone for the next 50 years :
TASC - A subscriber since 1984 (I have a full bookcase of past to current issues), the grand daddy of technical analysis. It is for almost everyone and indicator and system fans, but made me a technical analysis junkie.
Active Trader - A newer one for average aspiring and beginning retail traders - articles are targeted to learning traders. It is OK, but I don't read it anymore.
Futures Magazine - The most serious magazine, both beginners and pros can pick a nugget here and there, good market information, and also frequently prints good technical analysis articles. The nice thing about FM is that you can get it online for free through your sponsoring broker.
For general and other types of trading, investing, etc, Bill O'Neil's IBD, Financial Times, and Baron's will feed any market beast with a big appetite..
Looks like a ton of these have disappeared since this thread's last post in 2013.... can you help me update the list with any I've missed?
Futures Truth - online, interesting - cofounded by George Pruitt who has written some great Easylanguage content. Interestingly they track systems that people have sent them in a big leaderboard. Futures Mag - online only - looks interesting but is owned by a crowd-source trading company, so not sure about it as a non-partisan source. Some interesting content though. Institutional Investor - a classic industry mag. Very good, very 'industry'. Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities - a classic trader's mag... still going after decades (I'm about to trial it). FX Trader Magazine - I don't trade FX but worth checking out if you do.

Podcasts seem to have changed a lot over last couple of years, I'll go update the podcasts thread now with what I just found.
I'm having a media month, tracking down and consuming as much as I can! Fun holiday reading.
Not a trading magazine, but I wholeheartedly recommend an Economist subscription if you trade and invest but you gotta be a bit of an economics and business geek. Still, my 12yo daughter loves the science and technology sections, as I did when I was her age.
Trading: Primarily Energy but also a little Equities, Fixed Income, Metals and Crypto.

Risk Magazine has been around for 33 years. They also used to have an Energy Risk product. Very institutional in nature both from a content and pricing standpoint (Subscriptions cost $000s). Performing well in their yearly dealer rankings used to be coveted by sales teams - at least in the Energy Industry. I used to be a fan but over time 'news' changed and too much of it was dated by the time it was published and to much of the content seemed too effectively be sponsored content. Haven't seen the product in over 10 years, never used the new online product, so potentially a very different product now.
