To Trade or Not to Trade, A Beginner's Guide

(StockCharts.com edition)

Alexander Elder, the author of two legendary trading books - Trading for a Living and Come Into My Trading Room, has done it again.  With his latest book, Elder lays out the exact steps that beginning traders (and traders that want a solid foundation) should take to be successful in the long run.

This inexpensive electronic book, created exclusively for StockCharts.com users, will tell you everything you need to know in order to maximize your trading potential.

"You can be free. You can live and work anywhere in the world, be independent from the routine, and not answer to anybody. This is the life of a successful trader. Many aspire to it but few succeed. Newcomers often fail to prepare for the markets tough challenges. They keep making serious mistakes that could easily be avoided. This book will help you decide whether trading is for you and teach you its key essential rules." - Alexander Elder
