Volatility and the markets are a reflection of human behavior. Price changes, after all, are just a reflection of participant’s perceived value at a given time. That is why John looks at the key components of technical analysis to help him uncover certain clues as to what the market may do with a certain degree of probability.

In the past, John’s focus has been the professional trader, however, commodities broker, hedge fund manager and other advisors who rely on his work for enhancing their bottom line.

But now, through NationalFutures.com, John Person is making those same recommendations available to individual investors. The specific analysis John uses includes multiple time frames of Pivot Points combined with certain aspects of Candlestick patterns. John Person incorporates Fibonacci analysis and other technical techniques for identifying turning points and trending conditions.

John included many of these concepts in his best selling book, A Complete Guide to Technical Trading Tactics, deemed to be a classic by some. Ho also created a top selling advanced trading course, Trading Triggers: The Secrets to Profitable Trading, to help traders reaffirm specific set- ups and what to look for to help initiate a trigger or entry in a position.

On this website you will also find the weekly, The Bottom Line Financial and Futures Weekly Newsletter with access to Pivot Point Trading Numbers from the various time frames. Futures traders should always have access to these numbers. After all why have floor traders used them for decades?

The Bottom Line newsletter is a result of many requests from clients and friends in the Futures Industry who followed John's daily recommendations on his daily Bottom Line Report hotline. In 1998, John started to print his analysis as The Bottom Line.

The Bottom Line follows a simple format. It includes a Calendar of Events, Options Expirations First Notice Day, stock earning reports, major news events that could affect the markets, a review of past events, a fundamental perspective for the upcoming week and market analysis on 24 commodities.

Furthermore, each commodity has a weekly/monthly support and resistance key numbers. Based on analysis and interpretation of market patterns, cycles and other studies, each commodity is given an outlook of the risk and reward on different strategies for trading each commodity.
