ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank Morgan Ertel of McGraw-Hill who initiated this project to revise Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional. There has been so much personal growth since this book was first written it was a wonderful opportunity for me to pass this new information on to you. Books need a very skilled team to take the raw words from someone who is not a wordsmith and mold them into text that flows easily to read. The layout and clarity of graphics is a critical step as well. Most people do not realize the design and work involved in producing a book takes as long as it does to write it.

A special mention must be given to Stephen Isaacs who first made this book possible in 1998. As his career moved him to different publishing firms, I would stay loyal to him. It is the only reason I have eight books from various publishers. He remains my primary advisor and expert contact in the book publishing world. He has a list of major contributing authors who feel similarly. We all wish him continued success.
