About the Author

Born in the USA to a Greek father and a mother of Prussian and Hungarian decent, Kimon Socrates Inglessis found his calling in mathematics and computers. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics from Stockton State College, NJ in 1989 and then his A.S. in Aviation Maintenance with an A&P Airframe and Powerplant aircraft mechanics license from Embry Riddle, FL. in 1996. Now, he is living and working in Amsterdam, where he settled in 2009 as a sports photographer, designer, stock trader and author. Having followed the stock market since he was a teenager, Kimon had always wanted to trade stocks but the task of learning always proved difficult and costly when listening to the media driven advice. Multiple failed attempts taught him lessons, but none were how to succeed in trading. While recovering from a broken hand in 2011, Kimon had the time to dedicate to the practice of trading stocks and he gained enough knowledge of what did not work to begin to learn what did. From the lessons already painfully learned and from reading many books by great traders such as Jesse Livemore's, classic "How to Trade in Stocks," and books by creators of the technical indicators such as John Bollinger's excellent book "Bollinger on the Bollinger Bands" as well as the MACD's creator Gerald Appel's very informative "Technical Analysis - Power Tools for the Active Investor," Kimon was able to begin finding the signals that would lead to his strategy. With so many questions about trading stocks and the best answers being so difficult to find, in 2011, Kimon began to write this, his first book, "Money is Power! How Practice Makes Profits Mastering the Stock Market" as a guide for his own journey as he attempted to master making profitable trades. With a base system developed from reading and learning from the leaders in trading and then years of watching and practicing trying to predict charts with online games, Kimon was able to bring these many ideas together and finally learned how to find and research companies which he could trade profitably while limiting losses. During this time, Kimon added to, and refined this book continually returning to the entire text to update it with more lessons learned and more than 100 real world charts used as examples from many different companies.
