From the Inside Flap
With instant electronic market access and powerful financial tools at their disposal, today's "technician"—one who practices the art of technical analysis—has more opportunities than ever before to profitably trade in a variety of markets. But in order to truly excel, you need a method that will allow you to identify market moves, and strategies that will allow you to make the most of those moves.


John Person has been in the trading business for almost thirty years—as a broker, a trader, and a teacher of traders. During this time, he's refined his trading skills and, by using candlestick formations in conjunction with pivot points, developed a reliable methodology that will help you make smarter trades with less risk.
