ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would especially like to thank all of the traders who bought the signed limited edition manuscript of
the first seven chapters of this book. Your feedback gave me the inspiration to add the additional four
chapters.
Next, I would like to thank fellow traders Robert St. John, Greg Bieber, Larry Pesavento, and Ted
Hearne for their friendship and the special ways in which each of them contributed to the development
of this book.
I would also like to acknowledge my friend, Eileen Bruno, for editing the original manuscript; and, at
Prentice Hall, Ellen Schneid Coleman, Associate Publisher, for her professionalism and help in
smoothing the path to publication, and Barry Richardson, Development Editor, for his help in shaping
the introduction. His time and talent are greatly appreciated.
