Jim Wyckoff is the editor of the "Jim Wyckoff on the Markets" analytical, educational and trading advisory service. He is also a technical analyst for Dow Jones Newswires, and was formerly the head equities analyst at CapitalistEdge.com.Jim has spent over 20 years involved with the stock, financial and commodity futures markets. He was a financial journalist with the FWN newswire service for many years, including stints as a reporter on the rough-and-tumble commodity futures trading floors in Chicago and New York. As a journalist, Jim covered every futures market traded in the U.S., at one time or another. It didn't him long to realize the successful traders in every market-be it pork bellies, Treasury bonds or stock index futures-had a common thread among them: nearly all relied on technical analysis to give them a trading edge.Not long after Jim started his career in financial journalism, he began studying technical analysis and found it fascinating. By studying chart patterns and other technical indicators, he realized the playing field could be leveled between the "professional insiders" in the markets. His work has been focused on achieving that end ever since.Jim considers himself a "straight-shooter" in the challenging endeavor of futures trading. Like achieving success in any profession, being a successful trader requires hard work, experience and continuing education. There are no short-cuts to easy money. And, Jim promises and provides excellent customer service, including picking up the telephone, himself, when his valued customers ring him. Feel free to give him a call at +1-319-277-8643
