titles: Fundamental Analysis (1995), Technical Analysis
(1996), and Managed Trading: Myths and Truths (1996).

the author of Getting Started in Technical Analysis (1999), which
is part of John Wiley's popular "Getting Started" series. Mr.

analytical topics with particular focus on the characteristics of great

analysis, and trading system evaluation.
