This video is much faster than the actual speed because I wanted traders to be able to quickly see what the changes look like. Please do leave comments below if you wish to share your feedback or have questions on course update. A full length video lesson will be available later to better show the complex animations, and invite more feedback.
这个视频播放速度比实际快很多，因为我希望交易者能够快速看到这些变化的样子。如果您想分享反馈或对课程更新有疑问，请在下方留言。完整时长的视频课程以后会提供，以便更好地展示复杂的动画，并收集更多反馈。
Audio transcript I’m no Leonardo
音频记录 我不是莱昂纳多
Yeah, I’m in the process of totally redoing the trading course, but I’m not Leonardo Da Vinci. Leonardo Da Vinci carried the Mona Lisa around with him for 20 or 30 years and he kept adding to it – kept touching it up, kept touching it up; became this, life-long project, and for me, the trading course is that way as well. I get a lot of questions in the room, I get emails, I get questions on the trading course website, questions when I speak, when I do webinars, and all of that gives me an idea of what traders need from the course to make it more useful.
是的，我正在彻底重做交易课程，但我不是达芬奇。达芬奇带着《蒙娜丽莎》走了二三十年，不断地给它添加东西——不断地修饰它，不断地修饰它；它成了他一生的项目。对我来说，交易课程也是如此。我在交易室里收到很多问题，收到邮件，在交易课程网站上收到问题，在我演讲或做网络研讨会时也收到问题，所有这些都让我了解到交易者需要从课程中获得什么才能让它更实用。
I’ve been resistant to learning on how to make better PowerPoints , but over the past couple of months I’ve spent a lot of time learning. People have been helping me, but I’ve been learning a lot about how to make much more useful PowerPoints. And in the course right now, you’ll notice that there are a lot of slides that are all text, and sometimes there’ll be five, 10 slides in a row without text. Well in the new version of the course almost every slide has charts. But it’s going to take me six months to complete. I don’t know if I can do it in six months. I think I have probably another 800 hours of work to do. That’s not an exaggeration. There are a couple of people who know what I’m doing and I show them stuff, they’re helping me a lot. Based upon what they’re telling me I should do to make the course really user-friendly, and based upon the rate at which I’m accomplishing what they’re doing, I think it’s going to take me maybe six months to complete what I really want to do.
我一直不太愿意学习怎么做更好的PowerPoint，不过过去几个月我花了大量时间去学。很多人在帮我，但我确实学到了很多如何制作更实用的PowerPoint。现在的课程里你会发现，很多幻灯片全是文字，有时连续五、十页都没有图。新版课程几乎每张幻灯片都会有图表。不过完成这件事可能需要我六个月时间。我不确定自己能否在六个月内完成。我觉得我还有大约800小时的工作要做，这一点不夸张。有几个人知道我在做什么，我给他们看，他们帮了我很大忙。根据他们告诉我的做法——让课程真正用户友好——以及根据我按照他们建议完成任务的进度，我觉得我可能需要大约六个月才能完成我想要做的事情。
Most trading course text replaced by charts
大多数交易课程的文字被图表取代。
And what I’ve done so far, I think, is very useful. I think traders are going to find it much easier to use than anything else I’ve ever done. So instead of a lot of text slides, I’m having a lot of charts – almost every slide is a chart with new material to the left of it and then animations going through taking traders through step by step by step. Next year, I’m hoping to add video to the course as well, but that’s going to take me probably at least a year. I first have to get through the current project. So what I’m hoping to do next year is use Camtasia or some other screen capture program to capture trades that I’m placing on my other computer and then put them into the course. If I do the Camtasia capturing of trades, which I’m hoping that I will do, I’ll probably also put them on the Brooks Trading Course website. But that is way down the line.
到目前为止，我认为我所做的东西非常有用。我认为交易者会发现它比我以前做的任何东西都更易于使用。所以我不再做大量的文字幻灯片，而是准备了大量的图表——几乎每张幻灯片都是一张图表，左侧有新内容，然后通过动画一步步带交易者走完整个过程。明年，我希望在课程中加入视频，但这可能至少要花我一年时间。我先得把当前项目完成。所以明年我打算使用 Camtasia 或其他屏幕捕获程序，记录我在另一台电脑上进行的交易，然后把这些录像放进课程。如果我真的用 Camtasia 捕捉交易（这也是我希望做的），我可能还会把它们放到 Brooks Trading Course 网站上。但那还要很久以后的事。
Right now I’m redoing the course, and I have to say I like doing the course. I’m an old guy now, I’m 63. I used to like watching a lot of sports. I used to like watching even sitcoms, and now, for whatever reason, I’ve lost interest. Maybe I’ve seen every variation on every theme so that a lot of what’s on TV at night is uninteresting. I play tennis several days a week, I run, I lift weights. I live a pretty quiet life. I see my kids occasionally. My fiancé, Laura, and I, we go out to dinner almost every night, but we don’t really socialize much, I like life living a very quiet life and I like sitting in front of my computers and thinking. I’m constantly thinking about things. And it makes me happy to sit down and try to create slides that I think will be helpful to traders, and that’s what I do right now with my spare time. It will probably take me six months to do it, to go through all the slides – and it’s not an exaggeration. I think it’s going to take me 800 to 1,000 hours to redo all of the slides, at least that’s what I calculate now based upon the rate at which I’m doing it.
现在我正在重新做课程，我得说我喜欢做课程。现在我已经是个老家伙了，我63岁了。我以前喜欢看很多体育节目，也喜欢看情景喜剧，而现在不知为什么，我失去了兴趣。也许我看遍了所有主题的各种变化，以至于晚上电视上的很多节目对我来说没意思。我每周打几次网球，跑步，举重。我过着相当安静的生活。我偶尔见见孩子。我和未婚妻劳拉几乎每晚都出去吃晚饭，但我们其实并不怎么社交。我喜欢过非常安静的生活，也喜欢坐在电脑前思考。我一直在思考各种事情。让我感到高兴的是，坐下来尝试制作我认为对交易者有帮助的幻灯片，这就是我如今用业余时间在做的事情。可能需要我六个月来完成，也就是过一遍所有的幻灯片——这绝不是夸大其词。我认为重做所有幻灯片需要我800到1000个小时，至少现在根据我的进度这么估算。
Audio and video recording
音频和视频录制
And then I have to record everything. And now that I’m getting old, as you can tell, my voice tends to crack after I talk for a while, so to record the videos to create the audio for the PowerPoints, I have to talk – some of the videos are 30 minutes long – I’m keeping all the videos on the new course to about 30 minutes. Right now, there are some videos that are over an hour; I have broken those into two or three videos going forward. Also, I have numbers on all of the slides so it will be easy if you’re going through the video – it will be easier than ever – you’re on slide 31 or something. And I also put a little Table of Contents at the start of each PowerPoint so that you’ll have some idea of what the video will have.
然后我必须把一切录下来。如今我年纪大了，你们也能听出来，我说久了声音容易哑嗓，所以为了录制视频来为PowerPoint做音频，我得说话——有些视频长达30分钟——我把新课程的所有视频控制在约30分钟。现在有些视频超过了一个小时；我往后会把它们分成两三段。另外，我在每张幻灯片上都标了编号，这样跟着视频看会更容易——你会在第31张幻灯片左右。我也在每个PowerPoint开头放了个简短目录，让你大概知道视频会有什么内容。
With the audio, I probably can talk 10 or 20 minutes without my voice getting too unpleasant, so even to record a 30 minute PowerPoint is going to take me probably several hours. Since I’m breaking videos up into pieces, instead of 50 videos I’ll probably have 65 videos, and they’ll all be about 30 minutes long. But it’s still 30, 35 hours, and if it takes me three hours to record each, that will be another 100 or 200 hours on top of the 800 to 1,000 hours I need to create the slides. I’m not going to do the editing of the audio and video; I have someone who’s going to do that for me. However, the little pieces that I’ve seen so far, the little testing that we’ve done, I think traders are going to be really, really happy with how it turns out.
就音频而言，我大约能讲10到20分钟声音才不太难受，于是即便要录一个30分钟的PowerPoint也可能得花我几个小时。既然我在把视频切成片段，原来的50个视频可能会变成65个，每个大约30分钟长。不过仍有30到35小时的工作量，如果每段录三小时的话，那就是另外100到200小时，叠加在我制作幻灯片需要的800到1000小时之上。我不打算自己做音视频剪辑；我有人会帮我做。不过我看过的小片段，我们做的一点测试，我觉得交易者会对最终效果非常非常满意。
To me, I’m really happy with it, and it’s part of my motivation. I feel like I’m doing something really good and helpful, but also there’s a certain amount of creative element to it. I’m kind of prosaic, kind of concrete and I’m not good artistically. But I do feel I’m pretty good at logically organizing things, and understanding things, and communicating things. I’m working really hard to try to communicate really well with the new videos. So to me, I think they’re going to be fabulous. I think it’s going to be really, really good. But assuming I can keep at the pace that I’m doing, it’s probably going to take me six months to complete the project.
就我而言，我很高兴，这也是我的动力之一。我觉得我在做一件真的很好且有帮助的事，但其中也包含一些创造性的内容。我比较直白，比较实际，艺术方面不太行。但我觉得我在逻辑上组织事物、理解事物、表达事物方面还不错。我正努力通过新视频把话说清楚。所以我认为它们会很赞。我觉得会非常非常好。假设我能保持现在的进度，完成这个项目大约需要六个月。
So that’s a long answer to the question.
所以说这是个对问题的很长的回答。
