I am a long-time (since 1972) professional analyst and have held several executive and officer positions with major national companies. I have been an active investor for years, a day trader. I am especially interested in short term, high volume trading, called scalping. Learning this technique was frustrating at first because the available information was fragmented. I could learn bits and pieces, but there was no comprehensive strategy that pulled it all together. Once I finally established a working system ($49,000 profit in that one year), I decided to write a book to guide others toward successful trading.
