Успех в биржевой игре стоит на трех китах: это психология, метод и финансы.

Он раскрывает секреты управления капиталами временем, учит стратегии игры, помогает трейдерам уверенно входить в рынок и выходить из него с прибылью. Советы профессионала, испытанные методы игры и единственный в своем роде визит в личный кабинет доктора Элдера делают эту книгу основополагающим руководством для всех трейдеров, как новичков, так и профессионалов. Автор помогает читателю проанализировать реальные сделки, чтобы увидеть в действии ключевые концепции этой книги.

Really good. Repeats some material from Trading For A Living but because the repetition is selective, it helps to emphasise what Elder really thinks is important. He also adds a lot of new material, less around technical analysis and more around money management. Elder's greatest contribution, I think, remains that he is able to eliminate the impression of traders as being money-hungry, quick trading, stock price obsessed speculators, and give a sense of method behind the market madness. Traders are, as he notes, opinionated but flexible, confident but cognizant of the limits of their knowledge, socially contrarian, skeptical and unemotional (as far as possible) when making decisions, and a bunch of other nice sounding virtues. Hmm -- flattery perhaps, but really it gives one a sense of the kind of person one must be to be a good trader, rather than just a set of techniques. My only complaint is that his books are really expensive, but its hard to use the library editions because you want to underline so much stuff.

Good companion to Trading for a living book. It makes for a fun read with his analogies, his timeless psychological trading tips and this book covers in more detail risk management, which is the core soul of any trader/investor. Good stuff, Dr. Elder.

[Mira · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too much repetition not only throughout the book but in comparison with Trading for a living as well. This book is almost an exact copy of Trading for a living by the same author, with small added sections like Day trading, SafeZone exit strategy, and six examples of trades the author made, among which not a single loss was illustrated which is a shame.

Elder’s second book was quite an enjoyable ‘easy’ read. Not something easily said when it comes to books on Trading. The book is primarily split into 3 parts, Mind, Method & Money Management (and a final section on record keeping), dealing with Trading Psychology, Technical analysis and Management respectively.

What stood out most for me was the Mind & Management parts of the book, really well written and easy to follow, topics that really make you think. I took note of a lot of his ideas and will apply some of them to my own trading plan after testing them.

Being a FX trader only, I only skimmed through the Method Part as it is really geared towards trading the stock/shares, options and future market.

Trading books can sometimes be quite a struggle to get through, not so with this one. I will be reading it again after I have gone through all my notes. I highly recommend it to any trader, especial the Mind, Management and Record Keeping parts.

I first read this book nearly ten years ago when I was trading heavily and still occasionally refer to it. It is an excellent follow up to Trading For a Living and for those interested in short term trading I would recommend both these works. Fortunately, I realized the folly and stress that goes with short term trading and have moved on. For every person who says that they can time the market I now respond, "That's fantastic because Warren Buffet says that's something he can't do. You must be smarter than Warren." I've even attended seminars where I've heard Dr Elder say that Buffet got his timing wrong on certain investments. That's one removed from criticizing Einstein. Having said that, Dr Elder's books are very very good and my one criticism of them is that after reading them there is a tendency to trade for shorter terms and more frequently.

This is an interesting book on trading methodologies. It's strength is actually not on the details of trading but on managing risk and making a plan. It's weakest on how one makes the decisions on which trades to take. He proves general rules but doesn't get into enough details of the technical analysis to actually implement them unless the reader already knows TA or gets another book.

Despite that shortcoming, I found the rest of the book worthwhile and useful. I'll just need to brush up on technical analysis to put it into use.

[Sujata Sahni]

His book aims to convert a babe in the wood into an intellegent Financial Trader by differentiating between Investing, Trading and Gambling. The three M's of successful trading are Mind : Being disciplined, Method : Technical Analysis and Money Management via position sizing and applying the 2% and 6% rules as safety nets. The book provides effective tools to work as an organized trader via Trading Plan, Trading Spreadsheet, Trading Diary and Action Plan. He also also shared excerpts from his Trading diary.

[Tejas Tapsale · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book that gives you insight of day trading. There are lot of books talk about technical analysis but this book will tell you what behavioral traits needed to become profitable. It is true, someone may get in to trading because of his friends recommendation, easy money or just of fun. But lot of them forget it's a real profession. There are actual millionaires and billionaires in this field but they have discipline and hard work as high priority and this book gives all essentials to start. I recommend this book if someone interested in trading and take it as a serious profession.

[Jimmy Scharpf · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very educational for a novice trader. Note: trader, not investing. Must keep in mind that Mr. Elder is referencing mostly equity trading and longer term time periods as in days or weeks. If you are interested in more day trading education, as I was, his ideas still hold but don't follow his examples verbatim, apply and adjust them to your needs. His insight is very useful, especially his technical expertise.

Yet another trading book that spends most of the time discussing the psychology of trading, risk mgt, etc. The world hardly needs another one,not saying that it is not needed for trading, but how many times should one be told.......if a first read ok. Not the best I've read, go read Tharp.

[Enrique · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice book to understand a bit more how the market works

[Rohit · Rating 5 out of 5]

A definite read, even for understanding mindset with which you should approach trading. Thumbs up!!

[Ahmet Kara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Alexander Elder's books have taught me a lot. This title was helpful especially in getting the ABC of trading business.

[Tony WANG · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dr. Elder firmly believes in the 3M's of successful trading. They are 1. Mind (to develop iron discipline i.e. the psychology aspect), 2. Method (to acquire an edge over the market i.e. a vigorous system) and 3. Money (risk control and management). It is imperative to have an edge for the long term. Thus Dr. Elder relies on technical signals such as indicators and oscillators to increase odds. All indicators are building blocks of trading systems. As there are no certainties in the markets, only probabilities. I find his writing style very easy to follow. Also, chapter six details a decent introduction to futures and options.

The author used a lot of metaphors in this book. Here are some of the analogies that I find interesting:

"Learning to use indicators is like learning a foreign language.

Getting into a trade is like jumping into a fast-moving river. Be adept to react.

MACD offers traders what x-rays offer doctors, showing the strength or weakness of the bone below the surface of the skin.

Only losers say, “I’ll give this trade a little more room.” Never adjust protective stops.

A runaway trend can overshoot all rational expectations. Bear markets have no support and bull markets no resistance.

Money management is equivalent to glancing right and left when crossing a one-way street.

The 2% Rule will keep you safe from the sharks, the 6% Rule from the piranhas.

A civilized person is in touch with his past. Keep track of your trades through a diary."

In conclusion, the final chapter - Come Into My Trading Room, is basically a tutorial of some of his trades and a breakdown of his thought process with a step by step guide. The author explained his reasons for each entry with the help of MACD and other indicators. I find the systematic practice/plan rather enlightening. Overall, I think the book is very well put together. Solid 4/5.

"In the markets, almost anyone can make a good trade, but few can grow equity." Very true indeed.

[Leon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book for developing traders, addresses some common topics including keeping records, risk management, etc and also somewhat uncommon topics including adding MA's to equity curves, measuring drawdowns from peak equity, ABC system, proper way to approach tips, etc. The latter is certainly helpful for individuals wanting to take trading seriously. Also enjoyed the discussion on the amount of effort,time and mindset required to get from a beginner to a semi-pro and then to a professional. At the end of the book the author provided some examples of the setups he took and the majority of them are divergences. Interesting to note how at the end of the day there are just so many ways to trade.

[Aziz · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a clear guidance for you who start your trading. some people maybe have natural trading sense and somehow they always go to the right waves of the market. but for you who are not that lucky to have such gift in yourself, this book can provide clear guidance from finding the sign of a trade until the money management procedure. It's a very good book to start build your trading edge. I have yet Alexander Elder's other book called "Trading for living" but it seems like the book will also exciting to read and improve your trading sense.

[Dhaval Patel · Rating 5 out of 5]

To new Traders : Out of hundred trading books out there, I would recommend this one to start with if you are just starting out. This will shorten you learning curve. Highly recommended. Even for experienced traders, you would learn to add many things from this book to your system.

Introductory book on trading... I like the 3 m's to trading. Mind, market, management.

[Jimbo Stark · Rating 1 out of 5]

Starts off as a cheap infomercial and quickly devolves into a useless, generic tripe. Not even worth the paper its printed on.
