4. Carolyn: My entry to this business was not typical. I never planned on it. I started on Wall Street at
18 years old as a secretary/gopher to the Government bond department of Donaldson Lufkin and
Jenrette. My only real skill at that point was typing. Since I was always willing to work hard they
gave me an opportunity to move to Chicago when I was 20 to work on the trading floor of the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange working with Financial Futures. When I moved to Chicago I took a
basic course in Technical Analysis of the markets and was hooked. The rest is history. I currently
provide market analysis based on Fibonacci ratios and market patterns. I also teach those who
want to learn to do this analysis on their own.

5. Ilan: Who were your mentors, and what did you learn
from them?

6. Carolyn: Robert Miner was my biggest mentor. I met him at a trading conference and after I
watched his presentation on using Fibonacci ratios on both the time and price axis of the market I
was fascinated and I became a student of his work from that moment on. The most important
thing I learned was that you could ALSO analyze the time axis of the market which most analysts
do NOT do at all. Most analysts say they are "timing" the market with their price patterns and
analysis. This is actually doing the work on the TIME axis. I also did learn from Larry Pesavento
and from Bryce Gilmore who wrote the book Geometry of Markets.

7. Ilan: At CannonTrading, we give traders the ability to create and back-
test trading strategies. How important is back-testing to your trading
process? How do you approach this?

8. Carolyn: Back testing is extremely difficult with my work. Testing as you go however is realistic.
I’ve been in the futures business since 1978. I've had plenty of years to test the value of my work
as I went. Of course nothing is 100% but I did find that when my trade setups worked, many of
them worked very well. When they did not work, the risk was very reasonable.

9. Ilan: Trading strategies can help traders rein in emotional
trading decisions and strategy automation can help traders
stick to a trading plan. What are your thoughts on this?
Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is

10. Carolyn: I agree with having a trading strategy. This allows you to take MOST of the emotion
out of trading. I suggest that all my traders write up their own specific rules for their plans
to use my work. Taking losses when you need to are part of the plan.

11. Ilan: There are so many markets to trade today, it can be
overwhelming. What markets do you trade?
Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is
not indicative of future results.

12. Carolyn: I primarily focus on Stocks indices, some individual
stocks and options, and some choice futures markets.

13. Ilan: How do you approach trade management – setting
profit and exit levels, trade size and account-level risk
management?
Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products. Past performance is
not indicative of future results.

14. Carolyn: As far as trade management is concerned, defining risk is the most
important. With my methodology, the time/price parameters define my risk. I
know immediately when I’m wrong the trade and need to exit. As far as targets
are concerned, I have initial targets on trade setups that are defined by the math
of the Fibonacci ratios. Since there are some trade setups that continue in your
favor often enough, I suggest to my traders that they keep some "runners" and at
that point use a trailing stop to attempt to stay in for some of the much larger
moves at least with a partial position.

15. Ilan: Finally, if you could give some key advice for the
aspiring traders out there, what would it be?

16. Carolyn: Have a written trading plan. First test it with a paper account, then continue to test it
with a small amount of cash. Remember, having a plan does not help you, unless you follow it!
