Traders' Camp
2025 Traders’ Camp in Macau
October 10 - 14, 2025
Successful Trading from A to Z
For the first time in years, Dr Elder has scheduled his world-famous Traders’ Camp.
There are two parts of trading success. One is your personality. You need an intense desire to succeed, as well as discipline. The other part – technical knowledge – takes surprisingly little time to learn.
You’re invited to an intensive course that will help you become a knowledgeable and disciplined trader. Invest in your development with a professional trader and one of the world’s most prominent teachers of traders – Dr. Alexander Elder.
Trader-oriented Structure
Dr Elder has created a Camp program designed to expedite your learning, practice your new skills, and save you time and money. He’ll teach the entire program.
Dr. Elder will show you how to organize your trading, from stock selection to entries and exits, targets and stops, as well as risk control and the essential record-keeping. You’ll see how to analyze any market, from stocks to crypto.
Our comprehensive Camp is primarily designed for two groups of traders:
-
Serious amateurs who need to organize their knowledge and skills and rise to a higher level of competence and success.
-
Those who got hurt in the market but want to return better prepared. The Camp will teach you to trade in a more serious, intelligent, and successful manner.
Our Camp will help you achieve competence in all four essential areas of trading: Mind (psychology), Method, Money (risk control), and Self-Management. Make this Camp your launching pad for a successful trading life!
Bring Your Spouse or a Friend
If you share trading with someone, bring them with you to this Camp. Sit next to each other and make sure that both of you master new important skills. We offer a special discounted rate for couples or pairs of friends.
If your spouse doesn’t trade, bring her or him along at a lower non-trader rate (does not include classes). There is so much to see and do in Macau that your partner will be busy sightseeing and exploring all day.

The Nicest Classroom in the World
We limit our Camp to 20 traders, to make sure you receive individual attention. You will live and work with a small group of traders a beautiful and quiet hotel. Study and master new skills in your classes, practice what you learned with Dr Elder’s help. Share delicious meals and enjoy the company, with every dinner turning into a big friendly party. We will have breakfasts and lunches at the hotel, but for dinner Dr Elder will take campers to a different local restaurant each night.
Macau is one of the most fascinating spots in Asia. A tiny archipelago an hour away by jetfoil from Hong Kong, it was the first European colony in Asia. The Portuguese settled there in the 16th century, beginning a long era of peace. In 1999 Macau reverted to China, closing the books on what became the last European colony in Asia. The culture, architecture, and food of Macau present a fascinating combination of Portuguese and Chinese influences. There is excellent shopping in Macau, and of course the casinos. Macau has an international airport, but most travelers fly into Hong Kong and take a jetfoil to Macau, which takes about one hour.
