Peak Performance Course

Hi SW9

I did his full course -5 books- 3 years ago. I also attended a seminar he led.Took 6 months to get through the lot.. Thought it was out of date and I found out later he took alot of info from MBA courses and undergrad psych courses. Very overpriced for what it is. I recently read Financial Risk Taking by Elvin who I met after his presentation in Chicago at the traders' expo. There is a workbook in the final chapter and I found it really helpful . It is 90% cheaper than Tharpe's workbooks and mind opening!! Also did Elder's workbooks and Borsellinno's workbook. All much better value and relevant than the Peak performance course.

Wish you well with the learning curve

Anil,
my dear sub-continent friend, as opposed to Grant who is just incontinent,
this thread has been dead for 4 years.
My polite suggestion to you, borne out of good wishes for you, is to pick live threads in future.

best, r_e

but to answer your question
Trading for a Living
Come into My Trading Room
+ companion workbooks

Dr. Alexander Elder

I used to be devoted to Elder until I read Carter:
Mastering the Trade by John F Carter, ISBN 0-07-145958-8

if you onbly read one trading book in your life, it should be Carter .....

I dunno rathcoole_exile, resurrecting the dead can be quite fun once grant stops playing with his sugar and weedkiller.

The elder books are worth reading and mastering the trade is pretty reasonable too. The other ones worth reading are Marcel Link and Mark Douglas.
