Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop
This is the bestselling trading book of all time. Dr. Alexander Elder’s ‘Trading for a Living’ now comes complete with a companion study guide in a handsome leather edition that no trader should be without.
Focusing on the three critical areas of mind, method, and money, Dr. Elder helps professionals master new approaches to trading stocks, currencies, futures, and options. A clear understanding of the three M’s will help you discipline your mind, master the best methods for trading the markets and manage money in your trading accounts, so that no string of losses can kick you out of the game.
Dr. Elder’s revolutionary ‘Trading for a Living’ has won international acclaim and helped hundreds and thousands of traders bring their skills to new levels. The accompanying ‘Study Guide for Trading for a Living’ adds more than 200 questions, charts and assessments, that pinpoint the reader’s strengths and weaknesses as a trader and helps measure improvement and growth.
These two books are now available together in one beautifully bound volume, worthy of a place of honor in every trader’s library.

I agree that Elders book is worth a read. Its the basis of several education programs on the market.
Most companies offering trading software, come at it from a certain angle. i.e. proprietary indicators, elliott wave, Fibonacci, conventional indicators or a combination of these.
Regardless of how it is presented, Stan Weinstein’s “Secrets from Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets” is a must read for beginners in conjunction with Elder.
I have read a few books, but only Sam’s show the simple principle of the 4 stages of a share cycle and how it can be coupled with Relative Strength Comparison to a index, sector or a stock.
This then allows a consencus approach in selecting software and compiling your trading plan.
After all the people who say you can trade with only 15 minutes per day with a particular software are stating a greater myth than Santa Claus.
