Acknowledgments

Thanks to those many readers who wrote to offer their suggestions and insights to previous editions of this book, including constructive criticism and clarifying questions. Their letters have helped to improve the ever-changing sets of explanations and examples, definitions, and other materials used in this book.

A very special thanks goes to Debra Englander, my editor for many years at John Wiley & Sons, whose encouragement through many editions of this and other books has been greatly appreciated.

Also, thanks go to Candlestickchart.com for their generous permission to use their charts to illustrate many points in this book; and to the RediNews Network, which provided the market data used in those charts.

Finally, I am grateful to my wife, Linda Rose Thomsett, for her insights, support, and enthusiasm for this project.
