Rating - Brutally Honest
A very good book or tape to listen too if you are new to the stock market. Brutally honest and pulls no punches as he explains that the market is a minus sum game designed to take no prisoners. If you are a novice trader than you will benefit from his sage advice.
Rating  - Largely A Fairy Tale
"Trading For A Living" is basically divided in two main parts. Part one is focused on the psychology of the trader. It is pointed out that people come into this endeavor full of irrationalities. And some, even after they're wiped out, remain irrational about trading, and come back to lose all over again; this book states that most traders lose and wash out and this certainly is an understatement.
The second part deals with the technical aspects of trading. Strategies and money management are covered. You won't find the pot of gold here, but it raises a few good critical points that you might develop further with lots of hard work and research. The book is missing the very important topics of win ratio, profit margin and sample size on trading systems. If you want to study and learn technical analysis you better go somewhere else because this book lacks some important details. On the positive side, technical indicators are given ample coverage. This book makes no guarantees to anyone of producing profits. I saw no proof in this book that the author could make a living off of trading.
Rating  - Good Overview
This book gives an overview of investing.
3 M's are covered: Mind, Method, Money (management)
Mind: Individual, Mass Psychology of Investing, and Gurus
covered. The part using the analogy of Alcoholics Anonymous
seems unnecessary.
Method: Basically, Technical Analysis. It's covers major
indicators. Author doesn't seem to believe in Elliot Wave
and Fibonacci (not coveered).
Money: Basically, it's saying "don't risk the whole wad" and
buy little by little. I do feel when the opportunity arises, you
can risk more. Otherwise, you may 'play for long time' but when you
get rich, you're already 80.
Not for the absolute beginner unless you also have other
books or mentors to help you.
Rating - Good Book On Trading
This was one of the first books I read when I started trading stocks. Dr Elder's background as a psychologist did him good, and the rest of us who are interested in how the markets work and the human psychology behind trading. Those who are curious about stock trading and trading in general should get this book. Elder carefully explained the dynamics of bull and bear participants, how certain technical indicators work and why the market is how it is. Even though I mainly trade forex now, I still refer to this book often.
