Dr. Alexander Elder leads readers into 16 trading rooms where they meet traders who open up their diaries and show you their trades. Some of them manage money, others trade for themselves; some trade for a living, others are still on the semi-professional level. All are totally serious and honest in sharing their trades with those who would like to learn. Readers will meet American and international traders who trade stocks, futures, and options using a variety of methods. All are normally very private, but now, thanks to their relationships with Dr. Elder, readers can see exactly how these traders make their decisions to enter and exit trades. Each chapter of this book illustrates an entry and an exit for two trades, with comments by Dr. Elder. Readers are sure to pick up useful insights, techniques, and methods. With this book as their guide, traders can get closer to mastering the key themes of trading–psychology, tactics, risk control, record keeping, and the decision-making process.

The companion Study Guide is filled with striking insights and practical advice that allow traders to test their knowledge and reinforces the principles outlined in Entries & Exits.
