Picture of Thomas Bulkowski with his dog

Thomas N. Bulkowski is recognized by many as one of the world’s leading authorities on chart patterns. He is a successful investor and trader with over twenty-five years of experience trading stocks. He is also the author of the books (shown on the left) Encyclopedia of Candlestick Charts; Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns, Second Edition; Trading Classic Chart Patterns ; and Getting Started in Chart Patterns. He is a frequent contributor to Active Trader; Stocks, Futures and Options; and Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazines, with nearly 100 articles published.

Before earning enough from his investments to “retire” from his day job at age thirty-six, Bulkowski was a hardware design engineer at Raytheon and a senior software engineer for Tandy Corporation.

He was the vice president of membership and later treasurer of the Keller Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the Keller Parks and Recreation board, president of Keep Keller Beautiful, vice president of the Friends of the Keller Library and charter member of the Keller Writers’ Association. He also authored the Keller Recycling Task Force report and Park System Study.

In his spare time, he likes to wander around his back yard looking for toads, spiders, snakes, and other inhabitants, play guitar in his pergola while watching the birds visit the bath or feeder, read and write fiction, and sneak up on his dog.

The above picture of him and his dog was taken in the summer of 2006 in the pergola that he designed and built in his back yard.
