Dr. Henry Pruden, Professor of Business Administration and Executive Director, Institute of Technical Market Analysis, Golden Gate University; former editor, Market Technicians Association Journal Gatis and Grayson have penned a very thoughtful and personal approach to investing in the stock market. As you read this, you will hear a voice of experience.

A nice touch is a bullet point style summary of the important points of each chapter called Key Takeaways . This is the kind of book you will read more than once. Thom Hartle, Director of Product Trading, CQG, Inc.; former editor, Stocks & Commodities Magazine I have been investing for many years, but it was not until I studied under Gatis Roze and learned the Tensile Trading concepts that I became truly knowledgeable about how to succeed as an individual investor. Tensile Trading has helped me to gain clarity of thought, become well organized and better understand my Investor Self . This is an insightful book that investors should read closely and then review on a regular basis. It is an invaluable resource.
