Cardwell usually speaks at conferences, and distributes his printed 
material there. You may be able to purchase back copies from him, or 
from those running the conferences. Tim Slater, at the old Computrac, 
New Orleans, LA would know.

Cardwell's concept is also mentioned in "Technical Analysis for the 
Trading Professional, Constance Brown, McGraw-Hill, 1999.
