Mind Over Markets - (Wiley Trading) 2nd Edition by James F Dalton & Eric T Jones & Robert B Dalton (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Emerging over twenty years ago, Market Profile analysis continues to realize a strong following among active traders. The approach explains the underlying dynamics and structure of markets, identifies value areas, price rejection points, and measures the strength of buyers and sellers. Unlike more conventional forms of technical analysis, Market Profile is an all-encompassing approach, and Mind Over Markets, Updated Edition provides traders with a solid understanding of it.

Since the first edition of Mind Over Markets--considered the best book on applying Market Profile analysis to trading--was published over a decade ago, much has changed in the worlds of finance and investing. That's why James Dalton, a pioneer in the popularization of Market Profile, has returned with a new edition of this essential guide. Written to reflect today's dynamic market conditions, Mind Over Markets, Updated Edition clearly puts this unique method of interpreting market behavior and identifying trading/investment opportunities in perspective.

• Includes new chapters on Market Profile-based trading strategies, using Market Profile in connection with other market indicators, and much more
• Explains how the Market Profile approach has evolved over the past twenty-five years and how it is used by contemporary traders
• Written by a leading educator and authority on the Market Profile

One of the key elements that has long separated successful traders from the rest is their intuitive understanding that time regulates all financial opportunities. The ability to record price information according to time has unleashed huge amounts of useful market information. Mind Over Markets, Updated Edition will show you how to profitably put this information to work for you.

From the Back Cover

"Too often, developing traders focus on trying to predict markets before they have fully understood them. Mind Over Markets offers an unparalleled framework for understanding market movement and the processes that drive trends and reversals. Kudos to Jim Dalton for updating this classic text!"
--Brett N. Steenbarger, PhD, Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, SUNY Upstate Medical University

Emerging over twenty-five years ago, Market Profile analysis continues to realize a strong following. The approach explains the underlying dynamics and structure of markets, identifies value areas, price rejection points, and measures the strength of buyers and sellers. Unlike more conventional forms of technical analysis, the Market Profile is an all-encompassing approach, and the Updated Edition of Mind Over Markets provides a solid understanding of it.

Since the original edition of this book was published, coauthors Dalton, Jones, and Dalton have continued to delve deeper into the application of auction theory to trading and investment decisions. Now they've returned to once again share their knowledge with you.

While containing the valuable insights and examples that made the first edition an essential resource on this topic, the Updated Edition contains a new concluding chapter that brings the "book learning" of the preceding chapters into the real world, where real money is won and lost during 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.
