Elevate your trading strategy with practical insights and knowledge from an industry pioneer. In the book Markets & Momentum: How Profiling Gives Traders an Advantage, James F. Dalton and Robert B. Dalton dramatically expand upon their groundbreaking previous work, Markets in Profile. Condensing a lifetime of experience—from formative memberships on the CBOE and CBOT to his role as Director of Hedge Fund Research at UBS—Jim urges traders to recognize that understanding the market must be balanced with self-awareness. Jim's deep market knowledge is complemented by Rob's engaging writing, which offers valuable insights into the powerful influence of unexamined emotions, impulses, and habits on your trading success.

Jim advocates for trader education through Jim Dalton Trading, providing information that is scientifically organized via Market Profile, which is simply a contextual organization of time, price, and volume—the core elements of any financial transaction.

The Markets & Momentum offers:

• In-depth analyses of topics that drive over 90% of day traders to lose money, such as trending down days, FOMO, doubling down on losing trades, and the failure to let profits run.
• Strategies to reduce the influence of news and excessive analytical overload to remain focused only on the important information.
• Techniques for understanding your own emotional and instinctual reactions, and learning to avoid impulsive decisions.

This book is ideal for day and short-term traders, as well as longer-term investors looking to improve their trading entries and exits. Jim Dalton's insights are backed by six decades of learning directly from the markets, as well as his extensive educational client base. Markets & Momentum is a must-read for traders seeking guidance in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to master the short-term market.
