    About this audiobook

    The New Trading for a Living updates a modern classic, popular worldwide among both private and institutional traders. This revised and expanded edition brings time-tested concepts in gear with today's fast-moving markets, adding new studies and techniques for the modern trader.

    This classic guide teaches a calm and disciplined approach to the markets. It emphasizes risk management along with self-management and provides clear rules for both. The New Trading for a Living includes templates for rating stock picks, creating trade plans, and rating your own readiness to trade. It provides the knowledge, perspective, and tools for developing your own effective trading system.

    All charts in this book are new and in full color, with clear comments on rules and techniques. The clarity of this book's language, its practical illustrations and generous sharing of the essential skills have made it a model for the industry—often imitated but never duplicated. Both new and experienced traders will appreciate its insights and the calm, systematic approach to modern markets.

    The New Trading for a Living will become an even more valuable resource than the author's previous books:

    Overcome barriers to success and develop stronger discipline
    Identify asymmetrical market zones, where rewards are higher and risks lower
    Master money management as you set entries, targets and stops
    Use a record-keeping system that will make you into your own teacher
    Successful trading is based on knowledge, focus, and discipline. The New Trading for a Living will lift your trading to a higher level by sharing classic wisdom along with modern market tools.

    • 1/5
      It is not complete, it just starts reading the topics first paragraph, then jumps to the next. It is great to hear, but have lost a lot of details.
    • 4/5
      This is my first time listening to an audiobook. Although I like the fact I can finish the just of the quickly, this book has lots of technical things that need to be seen and analyzed, which Is not possible while listening! So it is better to read the book.

    • 5/5
      In this book Dr. Elder gives us a really good outlook of what moves the markets and how to beat the odds to become a profitable trader. I really like that he urges the reader to read more books on this topic, instead of proposing that this is the only book you will ever need. His work opened up my understanding to a new dimension in the markets, for which I am eternally grateful. This is a really good book, enjoy it.
    • 5/5
