"Anyone serious about market profile should read Steidlmayer on markets, Second Edition. Pete and Steve have done their most advanced work yet to create an objective perspective from which to manage risk."
— John Helmers Senior Portfolio Manager, Tudor Investment Corp.
"I recall Pete Steidlmayer's pioneering work with the futures markets in the 1980s, in particular his discovery of 'the natural organization of the market' in accordance with the price/time relationship: price + time = Value. In this important new work, Pete takes us on a journey from his childhood discovery of the key concepts of order and personal control, to his early days developing market Profile at the CBOT, to his up-to-the-minute ideas on trading, technology, and the future. And as a stock trader I found the concrete examples of market Profile applications to individual stocks to be particularly gratifying."
— Bernie Schaeffer Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Schaeffer's Investment Research, Inc.
