About Alexander Elder |
Dr. Elder asserts that all traders should learn to short. He shows what to look for at market tops and how to jump onto a downtrend. He explains how to use important indicators of short selling activity, such as the short-interest ratio. A special chapter is dedicated to shorting non-equity instruments, such as futures, options, and forex. Many beginners approach selling in a vague and indecisive manner.

He is the author of Trading for a Living (a bestseller translated into a dozen languages), Come Into My Trading Room (2002 Barron's Book of the Year), and Entries & Exits (2007 SFO Magazine Book of the Year).
