Acknowledgments
Our thanks to the individuals and organizations named below extends far beyond the scope of the writing of this book. Mind Over Markets is born out of years of teaching, research, and trading. In one way or another, the following individuals and companies have made a significant contribution to this effort:
Second edition acknowledgment is to Julia Stuart, my partner at J. Dalton Trading, who has worked with me over the past several years as a student, a fellow trader, writer, and editor.
J. Peter Steidlmayer, who pioneered the theories upon which much of our work is based. When I met Pete in 1985, one of the first questions I asked was “If your theories are so good, why share them with anyone else?” Pete's response was not what one would expect from a successful commodity trader. He said, “The market has been good to me. Like Marshall Field's contribution to the city of Chicago was the Field Museum, my contribution to the financial world is a better way to trade.”
Peter Steidlmayer has always encouraged his students to take the information he has provided and make it their own. In less than five years, we have witnessed the birth of new types of quotation software, databases, and all forms of expanded market research. Such is the natural process that follows any significant new discovery. Given the magnitude of the contribution that Peter Steidlmayer has made to the financial markets, this information expansion will likely continue for a long time.
