Interview: Gail Mercer Of TradersHelpDesk.com

Gail Mercer, a 15-year veteran of the trading industry who is the founder and Ce o of TradersHelpDesk, has dedicated her career to helping traders achieve success. Committed to helping traders grow from amateur analysts to master traders, her unique methodology is rooted in her philosophy that success depends not on a trader’s indicators but the ability to remain focused and responsive to price. Selfresponsibility, another cornerstone of her work, provides the mirror for what a trader needs to learn about him- or herself in relationship to the markets. Working with both the inner and outer aspects of trading, Mercer provides an integrated and holistic blueprint for prospering in the markets. Mercer has recently partnered with Christopher Koozekanani of FulcrumTrader to bring the concepts of Cumulative Delta to a broader audience. The new website will launch in early July 2011. She is a frequent contributor to St oCkS & Co m m o d i t i eS, Traders World, and Financial Sense, as well as a presenter at the International Traders Expo. She offers a free trading room where she trades on the live edge of the market. To join, go to www.tradershelpdesk.com. S&C Editor Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan and Staff Writer Bruce R. Faber spoke with Mercer on May 4, 2011, via telephone.
