About the Authors

James F. Dalton

Jim Dalton has been involved in the stock and futures markets for more than 40 years. He has been a member of the Chicago Board of Trade and member of the Chicago Board Options Exchange where he was a Senior Executive Vice President of the CBOE during its formative years.

At Paine Webber—which merged into UBS Financial Services—Jim managed an institutional trading desk, then served as Manager, Hedge Fund Research, and finally became Director of Research for Managed Accounts. His experience is fully realized in two books, Mind Over Markets: Power Trading with Market Generated Information (1993), which has recently been translated into French, and Markets in Profile: Profiting from the Auction Process (2007), and his latest work, the Field of Vision DVDs and Workbook.

Currently a full-time trader, Jim advises two hedge funds and several trading firms. Jim is a discretionary trader and long-time proponent of employing the Market Profile to facilitate trading.

The ways in which the behavior of markets and traders affect each other serves as a common thread through Jim's writing, trading, and mentoring. He believes that ultimately self-understanding is as important as market understanding; only when the two are equally well comprehended can the whole trader emerge and compete with greater odds of success. Jim lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.
