DALTON\u003c\/b\u003e has been a pioneer in the popularization of the Market Profile, a unique method of identifying trading\/investment opportunities. He has been involved in the stock and futures markets for more than forty years. Currently a full-time trader, Jim advises two hedge funds and several trading firms. He is a discretionary trader and longtime proponent of employing the Market Profile to facilitate trading. Jim began his career in the investment industry as a broker with Merrill Lynch and Shearson Lehman. He is the coauthor of two books, the original edition of \u003ci\u003eMind Over Markets\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMarkets in Profile\u003c\/i\u003e (Wiley).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eERIC T.

Eric is the coauthor of two other books on the financial markets, investments, and trading: \u003ci\u003eHedging Foreign Exchange\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMarkets in Profile\u003c\/i\u003e (both from Wiley).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eROBERT B.

For two decades, he has woven compelling campaigns across myriad media—from Addy-winning websites to short films and poetry—for a long list of artistic, nonprofit, and corporate clients ranging from Starbucks to TEDx. He is the coauthor of \u003ci\u003eMarkets in Profile\u003c\/i\u003e (Wiley).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen the original edition of \u003ci\u003eMind Over Markets\u003c\/i\u003e was first published, the Market Profile was relatively new. This approach offered an effective way to structure information, as well as a new way to look at markets through a time-sensitive, evolving database that records the market's continuous two-way auction process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOver twenty years later, this practical handbook—which can help you develop an understanding of market behavior and allow you to trade with the odds in your favor—is still relevant, challenging, and insightful. Since the first book, coauthors Dalton, Jones, and Dalton have continued to delve deeper into the application of auction theory to trading and investment decisions. Now, in the \u003ci\u003eUpdated Edition\u003c\/i\u003e of \u003ci\u003eMind Over Markets,\u003c\/i\u003e they once again share their knowledge with you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten with serious traders and investors in mind, this practical guide—which is organized around the five basic steps of the learning process—provides a clear path to understanding the underlying logic behind the Market Profile and applying it in real-world situations. With it, you'll discover how to interpret market dynamics through the organization of price, time, and volume; understand its implications; and act on this information intuitively. Along the way, you'll learn the objective basics of the Market Profile as well as the nuances that need to be mastered in order to become an expert at this difficult, yet rewarding, endeavor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eUpdated Edition\u003c\/i\u003e of \u003ci\u003eMind Over Markets\u003c\/i\u003e also contains a new concluding chapter that brings the \"book learning\" in the preceding chapters into the light of real experience, where real money is won and lost in the market's endless fluctuation. The examples employed provide a clear context for the content—because the synthesis of the five stages of learning can only happen in practice. A new appendix is also included, which compares TPO with Volume Profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lessons in this book go beyond technical systems—which the Market Profile is not—into areas of self-understanding. While much of the information found here may differ from the accepted models of market analysis, embracing it will allow you to transform insights into instincts and progress on the path to becoming a successful trader.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"Too often, developing traders focus on trying to predict markets before they have fully understood them. \u003ci\u003eMind Over Markets\u003c\/i\u003e offers an unparalleled framework for understanding market movement and the processes that drive trends and reversals.
