Product Description

From Library Journal

Soviet-born author and practicing psychiatrist Elder (director, Financial Trading Seminars, Inc.) shares his learning over the years as a professional trader and expert in technical analysis and his principle of understanding the three Ms (Mind, Method, Money), which will strengthen the discipline required to be successful in trading. He explores crucial factors in the markets that most experts overlook, including time, volume, and open interest, and describes little-known indicators to track them profitably. In addition, he covers many of the more technical approaches to investing in futures, such as factoring in the meaning from the Elliott Wave, oscillators, moving averages, Market Logic, and point-and-figure charting. His unique viewpoints in this overly saturated genre explain his particular view that most traders sabotage themselves, while offering tips for others to avoid doing the same. The narration by Richard Davidson soundly guides the listener through this highly specialized work that, although first published seven years ago, remains recommended for university libraries supporting a finance and business curriculum.DDale Farris, Groves, TX

3.0 out of 5 stars Same old same ole, Oct 9 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management (Hardcover)
Elder runs trading camps and has a real cult of personality so allot reviews are based on him and not necessarily this book. The book is really a re-hashing of simple trend trading and really shows it's age. If you must persist with Elder I'd get Come Into My Trading Room which has some interesting ideas, the stop loss worksheet etc. but really Elder is someone you probably won't get much out of unless you are a long term trader (> 13 weeks) or do options as too much of his stuff just doesn't make it for day trading or swing trading...for daytrading get the Bernstein books, he's got some good ideas but he's rather sloppy in execution still his systems are variations on some solid stuff.
For swing trading, the old standby, with allot caveat, is Edwards & Magee. Elder really doesn't have enough in him to warrant more than glimpsing at hjs stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really A Must, Oct 17 2002
By 
A. Petrotchenkov (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management (Hardcover)
Dr. Elder is a practicing psychiatrist. He is Russian origin and today he is well-known in Russia after his Moscow course of lectures on short-term investment in 1996. This book is translated into Russian and was published twice in Moscow ...

The first half of the book is pure psychology. The stock market in fact is a reflection of the human psychology. As the author points out, so many people who are educated think that because they are "school smart" that they must be able to master the financial markets just as well. It's the psychology and the mentality that goes into it. The author likens a typical losing trader (in other words, most traders!) to an alcoholic in denial. Traders are addicted to losing money. They get such a thrill from trading that they don't care if they win or lose.

The second half (Trading for a Living) is the core of the book. It is various trading strategies and technical information. If you're an experienced trader, you'll recognize most of it. The rule is simple: "buy low, sell high" or "short high, cover low". I think the author did an excellent job of covering a wide variety of strategies and trading tools. If you are new to trading, it may confuse the daylights out of you.

This book is a must have for anyone venturing into online trading. Dr. Elder lays out the three essentials of becoming a successful trader: Mind, Method and Money Management.

1. Mind: The psychological aspect of trading. Tells you to observe your own emotions as you trade.

2. Method: Technical analysis. Almost every major indicator is discussed here.

3. Money Management: Gives you some tips on how much to risk.

I have found a lot more detail in this book than in any other I've read so far. It is very enlightning. I give the book five stars. It is really good. If you don't mind the high price, buy it. It pays. You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend it to those traders who wants to improve the quality of their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have reference for any traders library, Aug 7 2000
By 
Jimmy D. Hays (Sulphur Springs, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management (Hardcover)
Anyone who has a serious interest in trading or any professional trader would not be without this book. It should be your trading "Bible" and within your reach for reference at all times. If you are looking for a dependable trading system (as dependable as systems can be) then the Triple Screen is for you. It will help you to identify solid trades and avoid the straight gambles. I think that Dr. Elder has given us a book that will prove itself invaluable to you over your trading career. His technical analysis discussions are clear and concise, and his examples provide a good framework for understanding. However he is not guaranteeing you success or giving you a "magic formula". Just the relevant information that you will need to make good trading decisions. With his insight into trading psychology, he is trying to help you avoid many of the common mistakes that traders make. If by purchasing this book, and taking to heart what the says, you are able to avoid one bad trading decision, then it will have been worth it to you!
