Does anyone know if this book is posted on a website where I can download it?

Trading for a Living by Dr. Alexander Elder

Thanks
Dave If you can't swim with the sharks stay out of the water!
this isn't a sure thing but i would download bitcomet. it's a torrent program and lists a bunch of websites that offer everything from games to music to books. they might have it but it'll require some hunting.

good luck!

Thanks to the direct-book-tittle link to amazon JSC77.

Reading the reviews, it appears the book's actual bent is toward trading the stock market? Though (and this is my question) is the phycology within the pages aplicable across the board (FX, Futures, etc...?) I am going to assume the answer is yes?

From the reviews it looks like a good book to have in one's library.

I think his second book : Come Into My Trading Room
is better. gets more specific on topics brought up in the first book.

Thanks Ganesh, great link. I downloaded several including those by Elder. Right now i'm enjoying the one by Alan Andrews going over in detail his trend line studies. Facinating.

Trading for a living is the only trading book I've read and have never felt reason to read any other.

It does dabble in some stock specific stuff, but the trade physchology is the best.
My personal feeling is that reading a multitude of various books does no better than reading one excellent book.
I have it on audio book and have listened to it about 20+ times through. This book, if allowed to absorb it thoroughly and basically "brain wash" yourself, will change your trading for the better.
I can't say enough about it.....I'm sure there are some other fine books out there, but my trading benefited most by Dr. Elder.

Hi MB, thx for the tip on the audio book, my copy is on it's way from amazon. As i'm a prolific reader, i hadn't thought of grabbing the audio cd...i can play it in my pillow speaker : - ) And double duty, my wife will enjoy it also since she would rather listen to me read a book aloud and we often share time together doing so (she is an audio-learner while i'm a visual one).

Cheers,
Thom
The CD allows me to listen while I trade....talking about it got me fired up to listen to it again!

Hi MB,

I'm currently listening and very nice intro! Thanks for pointing us into it.

BTW, if you don't mind me asking. Why did you change the domain name?
I kind of like the previous one..

No, we still have ProfessionalForex.com.....ProTradingNetwork.com is the media (videos, audios) back end to the site...so we don't overwhelm one single server they are located on seperate ones.

Sorry about that. Actually, what happens when I write professionalforex.com, it goes to muddbuddha.com.

But anyway, not that a big deal.

Still only 16 min in the audio and here's what I got from it - no more excuses.

Thanks MB.

Oh, THAT!

I redirected the domain to MuddBuddha.com while the new server was having the software installed on it and to be honest, I haven't set up PF on the new server to remove the re-direct....something I plan on doing really, really, soon; but most people don't even notice....only the really observant ones!

So true with the "alone time" MB. No guilt should be felt from doing it.
It now gives me more reason to have it.

Anyway, gotta hit the sack and thanks again for the great lecture!
