Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Come behind closed doors and see real trades made by real traders.

Dr. Alexander Elder leads you into 16 trading rooms where you 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 on the semi-professional level. All are totally serious and honest in sharing their trades with those who would like to learn. You 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, you can see exactly how these traders decide to enter and exit trades. Each chapter illustrates an entry and an exit for two trades, with comments by Dr. Elder. With this book as your guide, you 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 allowing you to test your knowledge and reinforce the principles outlined in Entries & Exits.




Rating: - Another valuable book from Dr. Elder
Let me start off by saying this book wont help you very much until you read Dr. Elders other book "Trading for a Living." In "Trading for a Living" he lays out the ground work and teaches you all the general "book smart" knowledge. "Entries and Exits" helps apply some of those concepts by walking through various trades with different types of traders from all over the world to help you learn how to think for yourself.

I found the book very interesting. I didn't learn as much raw skill ... Read More

Rating: - Some good information, but borderline informercial
Dr Elder's book takes you through 16 different trading styles, giving you two examples of actual trades for each. You'll meet the trader (Elder's students and peers) and read the set up and entry point. You'll then be asked whether you think the trade will win or lose.
After seeing the result, Elder gives his analysis of the enery and exit.

It was enjoyable to challenge my skills deciding why a trade will go good or bad. And like a lot of other trading books, I drew nuggets of ... Read More

Rating: - Crisp & Clear Writing.
I have read Elders first two books and put off buying this one for a while. I finally picked it up last week and I must say that it is excellent. The writing and charts offer a very clear perspective on different stock trading techniques. Each technique is these reviewed by Elder and his rules. I enjoy very much sitting down for an hour and studying a chapter which consists of a different traders techniques. I always pickup a valuable piece of insite as well as reinforce the ideas from his other ... Read More

Rating: - One of the best for traders
This book and a book by John Carter, Mastering the Trade, are two of the very best on trading information. Very highly recommended. I own about 50 books on Option trading, Forex, chart analysis, stock trading, day trading, swing trading, you name it. This book and Carter's book easily could have replaced 40 of the 50 books I bought previously.

Rating: - Case studies
I recommend this book not for the trading methods you will find it in (because I don't recommend using these methods at face value to trade), but in order to see how different people trade, and in particular the contrast between amateurs and experts. There are several amateurs, they tend to use a lot of technical methods and over rationalize their entries and exits. The professionals may not have better methods, but they are less fooled by the accuracy of the method. If this book is a good sampling of ... Read More
