Über Autor(innen)

Edward Leshik has spent the last 12 years trading his own account and researching the microeconomics of the NASDAQ and New York Stock Exchange markets. Previously he was CEO of an electronics company, supplying point of sale electronics to major retailers such as Sears and Sunoco in Canada and Allied Breweries in the UK, where he gained considerable electronics experience and was the first to automate an assembly line using electronics in the UK. His main academic background is in mathematics and physics and he has a great interest in the theories of Universality and Complexity as applied to the markets. He is currently developing a fully automated algorithmic trading system with his co-author Jane Cralle.
Jane Cralle began her career in stockbrokerage at PaineWebber, and later spent 22 years at Linker Capital Management Inc. managing the accounts of high net worth individuals. She has a wide knowledge of the markets and is an expert trader and investor - her extensive experience is invaluable gauging the 'long run of market evolution. She is currently researching and developing an automated algorithmic trading system with Edward, and her specialty of cluster analysis of the S&P index components is a work in progress background for a proposed book titled Stocks and their Personalities. Jane lives in Louisville with her husband, Rick Kremer, and three children, Sarah, Morgan and Jack.
