“I've had the privilege of knowing Mathew for 10 years now, and not just as the CEO of my favorite technical analysis software, but as a visionary, a teacher, and one of the most dynamic speakers I've ever seen take the stage. He's one of those rare minds who doesn't just understand technical analysis.”
