Author’s Acknowledgments
So many wonderful people helped me on the different editions of this book. I talked to many day traders, brokers, and others in the investment business, including Jack Alogna and Beth Cotner; Michael Browne of DTN Inc.; Nihar Dalil, Glenda Dowie, Greg Gocek, and Robert Cohen of the CFA Society of Chicago; Mary Haffenberg and Curt Zuckert at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange; John T. Hoagland, Conor Meegan, and Michael Patak at TopstepTrader; Anil Joshi of NuFact; Karen H. at Gamblers Anonymous; James Kupfer of Waterston Financial; James Lee of TradersLaboratory.com; Wayne Lee of Nasdaq; Michael Lindsay, Khurram Naik, and James Cagnina at Infinity Brokerage Services; Kristy Gercken, Casey Nicholson, Erika Olson, Don Padou, Karina Rubel, Mario Sant Singh, Chris Tabaka, Elizabeth Tabaka, and Allen Ward. I also talked to several other traders who asked to remain anonymous; they know who they are, and I hope they also know how much I appreciate their help. As for the mechanics of putting together the book, Chad Sievers and Tracy Boggier of Wiley were great to work with this time around. Finally, my agent, Marilyn Allen, made it all happen.
Thanks, everyone!
