Journey into Technical Analysis

- Studied and researched Technical Analysis for 16–18 hours a day, seven days a week, for over three years
- Read over 100 books on the subject and continues the same rigorous routine to this day
- Considers Technical Analysis one of the most challenging subjects he has ever encountered
