"To be useful, a trading methodology must be understood.  Simplicity is a bonus. Harmonic Trading: Profiting from the Natural Order of the Financial Markets, Vol. 1 by Scott M. Carney succeeds on both counts. This first volume of a promising series on harmonic trading will benefit traders seeking to improve their models."  

--George A. Schade Jr., CMT, Stock Futures and Options, January 2011.
