one other thing.... is come into my trading room by the same author essentially the same book as trading for a living, or that a worthwhile read as well?

Hi All, I have just finished reading Trading for a living by Alexander Elder, which is a very good read and I recommend it. I am currently looking at many trading systems for back testing and going forward, and wondered if anyone use the triple screen trading system. There are many other...
