A good follow-on read to his Come Into my Trading Room.
It's interesting to hear about the various everyday people who manage to trade for a living. Good detailed trade examples which give up more on re-reading.

I have read Elder's other books and was looking forward to reading this one. Unfortunately, Entries and Exits, does not rise to the standards Elder set with his other books. I can honestly say, "read his first two books,but,skip this one" Sorry Dr. Elder.
an Unbelievably great book! May 21, 2007

Great education from Dr. Elder again! Unlike many other books on trading which are repetitive, every word of Dr. Elder's every book is valuable, not a single wasted. They're all worth their every page, every paragraph and every word.
Highly recommended for those who are looking for trading methods.

Dr. Elder-
This morning I finished my second reading of Entries and Exits, and just wanted to thank you for your continued insight. I have been a long time follower of yours since 1994 when I came across Trading For A Living at the local Barnes and Noble. I was also one of the first to buy Come Into My Trading Room, as you wrote when you signed it. We also talked on the phone a couple times back in '94 when I was struggling getting started . My trading life has had ups and downs as I have traded successfully for 1-3 years at a time, and then had to return to the corporate world. I took the whole year of 2006 off from trading, but have returned this year with renewed determination.
My biggest revelation was the fact that when I started trading for a living in 1993, I started with the most difficult trading instruments, options. When that failed, I moved onto futures. This year for the first time, I decided just to see if could trade the least leveraged instruments, stocks. I have had a good run this year with stocks as it is easier to take losses where you should when they aren't $1500-$2500 as they were when I was trading the small NASDAQ.
Anyway, keep up the good writing, and I hope there is a sequel to Entries and Exits.
Excellent insight into a variety of trading styles. May 12, 2007

Trading books tend to get boring at some point: psychology, technical analysis, money management, or methods. I had no problem reading this one through cover to cover. Anyone who has ever traded with their own money soon comes to realize the importance of these two points in any trade: when you pull the trigger to enter and when you pull the rip-cord to exit.
"Entries & Exits" will not give the details that new traders crave to develope their virtual-cash-cow trading machine, but it is the next best thing to a $6,000 to $20,000 mentorship available on the market today. The reader gets to look over the shoulder of 16 very different traders and not only see some of their "three Ms" (Mind. Money, Methods) but also get to see just whom they are competing against in the markets. Some of these traders you will probably not like because they seem to live in a different world than you. Others you will think could be your next best friend. All of them, however, could well be on the other side of the next trade you make. It's a good principle to know your competition.
This book could be your next best investment especially if you harbor any secret desires to trade fulltime.
