Opening Price Principle: Best Kept Secret on Wall Street

by Larry Pesavento, Peggy Mackay, Teresa Alligood (Editor)

Traders and books - they seem to naturally go together like peas in a pod. Most of us already have an extensive trading library. Why consider adding this book to your collection? Together, we (Larry and Peggy) have 50 years experience in the markets. We trade the "Opening Price Principle" every day we are in the markets. It has made us money and saved us money. Why share this principle? We share it because we are committed to teaching traders. If you want to know how we would explain and illustrate the "Opening Price Principle" and its use to someone sitting with us at our trading desk, then read this book. Better yet, "work" this book. We only take students who are willing to "do the work." That philosophy is reflected in this book. YOU have to do some work. That is the nature of learning and gaining experience and eventually coming to a place of wisdom. We also believe in the "keep It Simple" principle. We use simple language, communicate clearly and focus on the real and very practical constraints every trader faces in today's market. In short, without sitting beside us watching prices unfold and the "Opening Price Principle" operate in the market, this book is the closest we can bring you to that ultimate learning experience.
