Mind Over Markets: Power Trading with Market Generated Information (Updated Edition)

Emerging over twenty-five years ago, Market Profile analysis continues to realise 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.

Reviews

"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.
