Don't know the man, but I have read some of his work. I get the impression that he is long on discipline and dosen't worry as much about the technology side. Basic common sense approach. As far as trading full time, I am a mechanical engineer who works full time as a consultant to a major university (west coast). Just at the point where I can tranistion into trading full time. I don't daytrade, however I used to and found that I was just too sleep deprived to make good decisionsl. Now I swing trade a couple of times a week, with trades lasting 2-6 days. Easier to stay awake at the wheel now. Hope that helps. Best Regards, Steve46

I think Elder is a very good resource for a newbie. His seminar tapes are very good on both tech analysis and trading discipline. Very interesting speaker.
