John’s latest book clearly defines many of the deli- cate intricacies of trading patterns and key turning points. I’m a junkie for this type of stuff and I learned a ton from this book.” —Tom Sosnoff CEO, thinkorswim Group “As a professional options trader and teacher, I have always told my stu- dents that to be consistently successful in the markets, you must first identify the opportunity and then apply the best strategy for you that fits that opportunity. Candlestick and Pivot Point Trading Triggers is the an- swer to the first step: finding and identifying the best opportunities to trade. John breaks down pivot points, a sophisticated form of technical analysis, in a surprisingly simple way, and then combines it with candlesticks to cre- ate a simple and easy-to-use system. This system, unlike most others, is consistently able to predict highs and lows of stocks and other securities for multiple timeframes with amazing accuracy. This is a great book for traders of all experience levels and I am making it mandatory reading for all of my students.” —Ron Ianieri Chief Options Strategist, The Options University “John Person has built his career on teaching investors how to understand and use technical analysis. The strategies described in Candlestick and Pivot Point Trading Triggers are employed by professional traders every trading session and are the lifeblood of futures and forex investors. If you want a complete guide to why the smart money buys at this level and sells at that, you must read John’s book. I heartily endorse it!” —Jon “Doctor J” Najarian co-founder of www.optionmonster.com ffirs.qxd 9/25/06 10:00 AM Page ii Founded in 1807, John Wiley & Sons is the oldest independent publishing company in the United States.
