Description:

JACK K. HUTSON Jack K. Hutson is the publisher of Technical Analysis of STOCKS & COMMODITIES (The Trader's Magazine), the industry's source for practical trading methods based on technical trading techniques. Hutson launched the publication in 1982 to fill the void he saw in the availability of how-to information on financial technical analysis. Before that, he spent 11 years as a mechanical engineer at The Boeing Company and traded stocks and commodities for his own account on the side. With his engineering/analytical background and with the goal of becoming less dependent on brokers' advice, he began to research trading techniques that relied more on speculation and short-term trading and less on fundamental and economic news. In his research, he found books, including Richard Wyckoff's writings, dating back to the beginning of the century discussing concepts that still applied.
