Reader reviews for The New Trading for a Living: Psychology, Discipline, Trading Tools and Systems, Risk Control, Trade Management
Review summary
Readers largely praise Alexander Elder’s The New Trading for a Living as a comprehensive, practical primer that excels in trader psychology, risk management, and journaling, with clear explanations of technical indicators and Elder’s own tools. Many call it a must-read starting point for aspiring and early-stage traders, though seasoned traders found fewer fresh insights. Common criticisms cite repetition, a dense and sometimes dry technical section, a promotional tone, and a focus on short?term, U.S.-centric technical trading with little fundamental analysis and few step?by?step strategies. Overall, it’s widely regarded as a foundational resource despite its flaws.
