ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  
 
 
 
So  many  people  have  helped  me  write  this  book,  and  by  doing  so  have  also  helped  me  
find  my  purpose  in  life!  I  could  fill  ten  A4  pages  with  their  names,  but  in  order  to  keep  
this  brief,  I  want  to  acknowledge  and  thank  the  following  people:  
 
Firstly,  my  heartfelt  thanks  goes  out  to  everyone  who  pushed  me  into  completing  my  
book.  The  project  eventually  took  over  two  years  to  complete,  but  was  a  very  worthwhile  
venture  indeed.  
 
Broadly,  I  would  like  to  thank  all  our  TradeGuider  customers  and  
VSA  
Club  members  for  
their  continued  support  and  encouragement  as  we  have  nearly  reached  our  tenth  
anniversary  in  business.  
 
 I  want  to  especially  thank  and  acknowledge  TradeGuider  customer,  Eric  Rivera,  for  
helping  us  to  program  TradeGuider  (v.3)  with  the  scanner  add-­‐in  that  Eric  worked  so  
hard  on.  This  was  launched  in  2008.    My  sincere  gratitude  is  extended  to  TradeGuider  
customers,  William  Donelson  and  Malcolm  Moos,  who  proof  read  the  book  and  made  
some  excellent  suggestions  and  grammatical  corrections  that  were  incorporated  into  the  
book.    
 
Thanks  and  acknowledgement  goes  to:    
   
•
VSA  
expert  and  fund  manager,  Philip  Friston,  for  all  his  tireless  work  in  helping  Tom  
Williams  write  the  new  
VSA  
dialogue  boxes  for  the  TradeGuider  software,  and  for  his  
contribution  to  the  TradeGuider  
VSA  
Club.    
 
VSA  
expert   Sebastian   Manby,   for   contributing   his   interview   for   this   book.  
~Wyckoff  
experts   Dr.   Gary   Dayton   and   David   Weis   for   contributing   their   interviews,   I   appreciate  
your  time  and  efforts  to  help  give  your  expert  opinions  to  assist  the  traders  and  investors  
who  read  my  book.  
All   the   great   traders   and   educators   I   have   met   who   have   worked   with   me   in   various  
projects   and   have   also   taught   me   a   great   deal,   including   Markus   Heitkoetter,   Todd  
Krueger,   Roy   Didlock,   Rob   Hoffman,   Gary   Fullet,   Philip   Friston,   Dr.   Gary   Dayton,   David  
Weis,   Professor   Hank   Pruden,   Bruce   Frazier,   Harvey   Loomstein,   Adrienne   Toghraie,   Brad  
Bedford-­‐Brown,  Bill  Wermine,  Martin  Wong  and  Nick  Radge.    
Paul  Avins  for  inspiring  me  in  the  early  days  to  take  massive  action  and  improve  my  life  
and  the  life  of  others!  
Big   thanks   to   Richard   Seegers,   a   dedicated   customer   of   TradeGuider   Systems.     Richard  
was   kind   enough   to   take   the   time   and   patience   to   help   thoroughly   edit   the   content   and  
grammar   of   the   book,   as   well   as   add   valuable   insight   to   the   list   of   the   book   topics.     Thank  
you  Richard  for  your  input  and  expertise.
