THE ROAD AHEAD You can learn to trade. To begin, you need some basic skills—discipline, risk tolerance, and facility with numbers. You need knowledge, which can be acquired through dedicated study. By working through the Study Guide you have proven that you have what it takes to grow into a successful trader. Now is the time to put your time and energy into setting up your trading operation. Design a record-keeping system, establish money management rules, and write your trading plan. This calls for a lot of work, but many of us find trading a fantastically interesting challenge. The rewards, if you do it right, are nothing to sneeze at either. I enjoyed creating these exercises. People who came to my Traders’ Camps were the first to learn my methods, take the tests, and comment on them. I also want to thank two people who put their own projects aside to help me prepare this book. Fred Schutzman, a technical analyst and money manager in New York, is an old and loyal friend who took every test in this book, graded his performance, and then pointed out several questions and answers that had to be rephrased, rearranged, or clarified. When it comes to analysis and trading, no imperfection can slip by Fred! My oldest daughter Miriam, a journalist and a graduate student in Paris, went through my English with a red pen. English is my third language, and the little girl, who is actually no longer so little, is now fixing the English for the guy who used to read The Little Engine That Could to her at bedtime. You have worked through this book, but closing it does not mean having to say good-bye. If I continue to run my Traders’ Camps, you 197
198 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS may come to spend a week during which we’ll study and work on trading together. I look forward to hearing about your findings and concepts as much as sharing mine with you. I now return to my trading room and wish you success in yours. Dr. Alexander Elder New York February 2002
