The purpose of 141 West Jackson is to enhance your market understanding. Your future success is your responsibility; there is no automatic, “foolproof’ formula. As you develop yourself as a trader, take particular note of the lessons of principle-those that have come from the market itself, and those coming from your own experiences. These will provide the basis of integrating market data into your own trading program.
Introduction:
In this book there are many uses of both the singular and plural in describing developments. Sometimes it’s I, sometimes we or us, depending on the way I just naturally felt about what took place at that particular moment. I ‘ ve been fortunate to have a lot of help throughout this project, including especially the full support of all those associated with me as well as those who believed in me.
It would be proper to acknowledge each person who was involved individually, but the contributions came from the whole Market Profile community, and that includes almost everyone I ‘ ve dealt with. I would like to single out the person most responsible for the existence of Market Profile: the former Chairman of the CBOT, Les Rosenthal. Leadership, unlike stewardship, calls for having a sense of direction, and more importantly a clear perception of how to let things proceed. To all of you who participated, I’d like to express my thanks for a very fun journey, and for your efforts in helping to make what I feel is a lasting contribution to the industry.
It is always difficult to find a clear way of expressing radically new ideas. And expressing myself is not my strong point in any case. I’d like to particularly thank my editors, Cynthia Brown and Robin Mesch, for their truly brilliant transformation, or perhaps I should say transmutation, of my rough manuscript into its present polished form.

Another great book from Peter Steidlmayer.
With it you better understand the market’s functioning and learn some basic principles regulating everyday activity.
It is useful but in some instances very academic.

This book constitutes the best theoretical approach to trading available today. I have read it twice and loved it even more the second time through. I have read every book related to Market Profile and this one is the best by far. Steidlmayer has attempted to define the market through an approach that structures the markets background and foreground at the same time, while both are endlessly developing. The first 78 pages are pure gold, but after that you get off into MP heuristics that were understandable considering Mr. Steidlmayer was at the forefront of market theory in his day and attempted to fit the markets complexity into a bell curve type structure that was meant for statistical understanding alone. He was and probably still is a market genius whose musings are priceless!!
