A Great Book for Forex Trading

The technical tactics and techniques described in this book have already helped me to start making a profit in forex trading on a more consistent basis. This book's explanation on how to place orders and the different types are the best I've read so far. Pivot Points used in conjunction with Candlesticks is what I have been using to trade currencies and so far the results have been very satisfying. Thank you Mr Person for writing this most excellent book!

Excellent Study Course

John Person provides an excellent overview of necessary trading tools. I learned a great deal from his book and his seminars. The best part about his book is that he is a trader by profession and the information he provides he utilizes. This book is a must have for traders interested in increasing their consistency and profits from trading

The best teacher

After hearing an introductory lecture by John Person, I bought his book. It put together futures trading for me using techniques which I can apply. I then subscribed to Person's newsletter and attended a one day course. Now I am making money and can anticipate market moves. Person's book and Technical Analysis from A to Z by Achelis are my reference books.John is a great teacher.

New Classic!

The best short term trading book you can get. If you trade the markets and don't know anything about pivot points, YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!! If you don't trade the markets but are thinking about it, YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!! Excellent information on technical analysis without being too technical:)
