5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 6 Jun 2005
This review is from: Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)
This is the book that got me started in trading (I actually read the UK version, 'Financial trading') and it should be compulsory for beginning traders.

You will progress as a trader far quicker if you read this book, simply by avoiding the pitfalls that most of us go through and which are described in detail by Dr Elder.

While a fellow reviewer complained that 60% of the book is on technical indicators and that the author appears repetitive, I believe this helped me greatly (and probably helped that reviewer too). The reason I say this is because at the end of a comprehensive read of this book you have the fundamentals of trading (technical and psychological) absolutely drilled into your mind. Given Dr Elder's background as a psychiatrist it does not suprise me that he reinforces these concepts so often.

Unlike many average trading books that receive five stars this (and the author's other book, 'Come into my trading room') genuinely deserve maximum praise and both should be read before and during your trading career; independent or company supported.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for serious investors, 10 Mar 2003
This review is from: Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)
Dr. Elder's first book is a gem, and is suitable for traders at any level of experience. The reader learns the importance of having and adhering to firm trading rules. Successful money management is a required skill in order to become a successful trader, and Elder offers good advice on this topic.
Elder's education (psychiatrist) gives him the perfect background to explain to the reader how to benefit from understanding crowd psychology.

Covering such topics as risk management and how to use a trading system, he emphasizes technucal analysis and shares his own personal methods with the reader.

You will refer to this book again and again over the years. This book may be 10 years old, but it is still very appropriate today.

3.0 out of 5 stars The good, the bad, and the ugly, 13 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)
Elder's writing style (especially his profuse use of creative analogies) is attention-grabbing. The book is a great read in all aspects except the 60%+ of the book dealing with technical indicators. Rather than highlighting the top 3-4 indicators in each category (trend-following, leading, coincident) which have worked well for Elder, he gives his version of a comprehensive synopsis of every modern and not-so-modern indicator known to man... providing little value-added commentary in terms of the usefulness of each. (Then again, he admits that he uses 12-13 indicators at any given time.) He also repeats the characteristics of each broad category of indicators when describing each individual indicator - which is great if you do not learn unless you read the same thing 50 times, but otherwise it's extremely tedious.

Let's face it - the book is designed for position traders but as a primer for those interested in short-term trading of futures and equities, it's a potentially useful resource. Elder's book's major shortcoming is that it tries to be everything to everyone, therefore it does not deserve rave reviews from anyone but the absolute beginner who's starting from scratch.

One useful concept, proprietary to the author, is called the Triple Screen trading system. But for the intermediate and advanced trader looking for a new strategy or a twist on an existing one, I suggest you look elsewhere.
