The Complete Trading for a Living

Fast moving. Investigates the critical concepts of trading. Explains clearly the more difficult transactions in a "easy-to-follow" concise manner. Would recommend it for any serious trader.

Timeless classic reference

Don't think I need to add anything to the consensus. If your intent is to trade for a living, then you must have this tome as a reference.

Use this book at least once a week

I am a forex trader and have been loking for a book that would give me information that not only focused on stock. Being an 80% technical analysis based trader, I really found the book to be useful. It really broke down the various technical indicators I already knew about, and introduced a few I had heard of before but wasn't really familiar with. Also I like the fact that Elder cites other trading books and a few non trading books. This is helpful if you want to know more about a certain topic. I think the books greatest strong point is the study guide. I helps you internalize how different candlestick patterns and other chart patterns, which really helps when you need to make decision quickly and accurately. I recommend this book for beginning traders or seasoned veterans alike. Its principles can be applied to any behicle you can trade with a chart (i.e. stocks, commodities, futures, and forex)

Great insights. Dr. Elder packs intelligent, useful, and practical nuggets in every page. I like the parallels he puts between trading and psychology. Which is where it all boils down to, if you think about it.
