Book Description
This book is an examination of Market Profile(tm) charting concepts. The Market Profile principle is also used by knowledgeable and experienced day traders. This is the best available text on the subject.
The key element that has long separated tremendously successful traders from all others is their intuitive understanding that time regulates all financial opportunities. In 1984, J. Peter Steidlmayer formally introduced the Market Profile as a way to graphically depict the acceptance or rejection of price over time. For the first time, what had once been the domain of the intuitve trader was not accessible to all traders.
The ability to record price information according to time has unleashed huge amounts of useful market information in a form never before available In turn, this information explosion has triggered a new way of looking at markets and opened the doors for accelerated levels of market analysis.
Mind Over Markets is a book about learning; learning the dynamics of markets through the organization of price, time and volume, and learning how to synthesize this information with your own intuition.
Our goal is to arrie at a healthy balance between the powers of objective observation and intuitive decision making--a rare talent possessed by only the best of traders.

This book truly has something for everyone. .......2007-05-30
To pay for the book on the first day read the "Special Situations". Do those when you see them. The rest of the book will make you a better trader for all those other times. Some of you may be put off by the piano metaphors, but the key (sorry!)is that when you see the patterns over and over again, you'll know what to do without thinking overmuch.
Not fancy, but explains the concept well.......2007-05-16
This, along with the guide available for free from the CBOT, give you insight on why markets trade as they do and a framework for using that data to understand how well they are trading that way. You only see mention of market profile in passing in other books, since it is not flat out buy/sell here system but more of a pattern of occurring and probable market action.
Excellent Book Regarding Market Analysis.......2007-05-03
This book, aside from the tiresome lecturing tone on an analogy regarding a pianist striving to reach perfection, WAS EXCELLENT. This book helped me understand how markets perform on an hourly basis, and how that creates a 'value area' where the bulls and the bears seem to agree. This methodology for charting seems to indicate the best place to place a trade (entry) and where to put your stops. Its methodology was indepth, and will require a fair amount of stamina, and intelligence to be understood. I could have done without the "amatuer to competent to proficient" stuff that the book breaks its theory/teachings into. But, aside from that, again, this is a must read for anyone that is serious about trading. I am a beginner trader in the Futures and Commodities markets, and at this time, the Market Profile appears to be the best methodology for when and where to place your trades. I highly recommend this book. Keep in mind, my mentors in this field recommended this book, AND recommend some extensive reading (over 15 books) before you actually start trading.
Incredibly helpful.......2006-08-23
My trading was completely changed for the better through what I learned from reading this book. Out of all of the trading books I have read and browsed, this is BY FAR the best book around. Market Wizards comes in second place for me. Mind Over Markets teaches a very useful way of perceiving market action.
Excellent.......2006-07-31
The best trading book I have read. Not only does it provide an explanation of Market Profile, but it gives good interpretations of market action that is useful with or without Market Profile. The book is best read with some knowledge of the markets and technical analysis.

A Good Book for Finance/IT majors.......2007-09-17
This book does what it sets out to do: teach spreadsheet modeling. I'm only on the third chapter, but the author does a good job including step by step instructions on how to create winning models. The author is also very easy to understand. So if you're going to be doing optimization and modeling in your work, I highly recommend this book.
Great book, and includes @RISK.......2007-08-06
Ragsdale really makes spreadsheet modeling accessible to real-world business situations. It was a great asset to my MBA coursework. As a student, it came with a free student version of @RISK risk analysis software as well.
Good practical text.......2006-11-12
A good book for those studying decision making techniques or as a reference for managers looking to upgrade their skills
Decision analysis.......2006-11-02
Excellent book; I am considering it as a textbook for a Managerial Sciences course. The examples are clear and real increasing the interest of the students.
Good book , worth to read.......2006-02-17
This book is designated as the textbook for our master's level management modeling class. The author concerntrated on the application of Microsoft Solver to solve various of optimazation problems that we freqently faced in the real business opreations. Overall, this is good book for entry-level management modeling study.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book.......2004-06-25
This book is definitely very advanced and is very clearly written. The approach will:
- state (and explain) business problems
- explain the rational in choosing the computer tool (despite the title, the book is not entirely focused on Excel).
- walk you step by step through the modeling process
The CD contains some valuable tools for advances topics (monte carlo and discrete event simulation). Frontline Systems were alo kind enough to send free of charge an updated version of the premium solver for education (the version on CD is not compatible with Excel 2003).
I consider the book a great value and recommend it to anyone who is willing to invest the time to learn from it.
Fasten your seatbelts..........2004-01-28
I'll make two separate sets of comments - one for professors and one for students.
Students first... This will be a difficult course no matter which textbook you use. Having said that, I would say that the text is about average in terms of readability in comparison to other texts on the subject. There are plenty of realistic cases to illustrate basic decision/ management science concepts, as well as a very useful CD, with which I recommend that you become well-acquainted as the course moves forward. Not much has changed since the last edition, so you may be able to get by with a previous edition if the textbook (authored by Eppen). Be advised, however, that some of the chapter materials have been re-arranged, including the exercises at the end of each chapter.
For professors... You are probably already aware that this course can be challenging for the professor as well as the student, esp. with respect to how math-intensive you wish the course to be. I think Moore & Weatherford is an excellent text, but it is written as an advanced graduate text. I have been able to "tone it down" for undergraduates by accompanying it with a nice, soft, theory-oriented text on decision/ management science (featuring the teachings of Herbert Simon and some of the early decision science theorists). The text is accompanied with ample instructor resources including a very useful CD with solutions, decision science software. I would engage the students w/ the CD as early as possible. I have also found that the best exams for this course are take-home exams - give the students some moderately challenging decision models to formulate and solve, and focus your evaluation primarily on how well they are able to interpret the results and propose recommendations for decision makers, and secondarily on whether they were able to get the software to spit out the right answers.
Confusing and Poorly Written.......2004-01-22
Had to buy this book for my class. On the surface it looked OK -- plenty to screenshots and examples, but the problems arise when you try to read the long paragraphs. Language could have been clearer.
Book assumes solid knowledge of Excel, which should be expected of students, but still, some things should not be taken for granted :)
Another classic problem -- chapter 4 refers to examples mentioned in chapter 2. I hate this kind of cross-referencing !
Don't buy it if you can live without it.

Unnecessarily difficult to understand.......2003-11-08
This book is makes a difficult subject even more difficult. It assumes that you already know alot of the concepts in it. It kin of leaves you stumbling around in the dark. I hate this book and the person who wrote it with a passion. A good author should be able to explain concepts in clear organized language, I do not care how difficult.
Not for the uninitiated.......2003-02-18
I had to buy this book for class. Even the professor stated that the book was heavy going and has to be reread over and over again to understand it. There are examples but they really don't go over them in enough detail. This book is really for someone who already has a good user knowledge of excel and somewhat familiar with solver. Many of my classmates have expressed dissatisfaction with the contents and how it was written. My main complaint is that there are not enough examples to illustrate the many new concepts found in this book. This is a difficult subject and the book doesn't make it easier.

Makes the mundane readable........2002-05-04
One of the better written tax textbooks. Will actually NOT put you to sleep when you read it. Easy to understand examples.
I'd rather read the Tax Code.......2001-12-21
This book was difficult to read, often wandering off on a tangent. I know the subject of taxes can be difficult but this text made topics that I was already familiar with seem confusing again. Each chapter has several examples, many of which were helpful. But many were also not clearly explained and a few made me wonder if the paragraph was truely finished. If you have a choice, pick up some tax software and a quickfinder guide to go with this class.
Great tax information.......2001-11-26
I am using this book in my Federal tax accounting class. I have more about taxes from this book than I have ever in my whole life. Great tax examples and many resources to solve each problem.
