"When I need information to know what's
going on in the markets, I turn to Jim Kane. Whether it's the COT report,
sentiment indicators or to generally know what's happening, Jim Kane has the
information I need. Jim has developed effective proprietary trading strategies
and he has helped me define many Harmonic Trading techniques, including the
0.886 retracement. Jim knows more
about the markets than the next 10 guys I know. When you need a reliable source
for pertinent information and trading advice in the financial markets, Jim Kane
is the man."
Scott Carney HarmonicTrader.com

"Jim is one of the most extremely
qualified technical traders/teachers that I have met. His rational for trading
decisions and his systems are extremely well thought out and effective. It all
makes sense! When we have discussed some of his systems or decisions, he
explains them in great and easily understood detail.
Jim has taken his approach to
technical trading to a new high due to his interest and knowledge of Fibonacci
ratios and patterns. He has identified many new Fibonacci ratios and when one
observes them, they make a lot of sense. I highly recommend him for training
and trading."
Roland P. Futures
trader

"Jim Kane's original approach and fresh
ideas for evaluating the securities markets make him a worthwhile source for
answers in today's challenging investment environment."

"Simply put you have the best trading
books out there, and I have read hundreds of them. Basically, you provide all
the pieces to the puzzle."
Referring to Trade
Management: "Tuesday I received the book. The next day I spent most of
the day reading it, and finished it. What a great book, one of my favorites.
The information is incredible, but I bet that most people that read it
unfortunately won't realize how valuable and unique the information is. Well,
all I can say is great work, and thanks for sharing your knowledge and
experience."
Dario M. Trader/Fibonacci newsletter writer

"After reading your books I've been very
impressed with how you teach and apply your trading system. After spending
money on other fib-trading books, I have to say that you are by far the most
informative I've read to date...
...Once again I would like to thank you for taking the
time to write the books and share your own knowledge. It has already helped me
in one trade this week."
Todd G. Trader

"Your unique sequence-by-sequence
presentation has made the understanding of Fibonacci principles a deep imprint
on my mind, which makes my trading second nature. Thanks for revealing the
'secret' ratios that beat the common trading zone which uses the traditional
ratios."
Soonek P. Trader,
Singapore

"First, I would like to say "Thank You"
for your steady effort and valued message delivered via your web site. I read
your commentaries on a regular basis. I appreciate the effort and frankly would
pay for continued access to your thoughts and techniques if you ever changed
your business model.
That leads me to another reader feedback item. In your previous
post (Sept
1) you get into this whole discounting of your books. Maybe I'm in the
minority, but I just don't think price is really the issue when it comes to
quality trading material and advice. Price is the last characteristic that I
consider when deciding on purchasing a product or service related to my trading
education.
A $40 savings in a business that in "the blink of an eye" we can
drop the same amount of change. I just don't get it. Maybe the problem is the
internet and its discount mentality. If anything, you should increase your book
prices and reduce your volume. People that are serious about this profession
and the trading business will be able to determine the value of your
comprehensive approach and methodology."
Referring to Trade Management: "Received the new book
on Saturday and finished the first read on Sunday. You did an excellent job of
presenting the material and I thought it flowed nicely. I did see the 18,000
hour reference. Wow..., your hard work and effort does show. Most of your
material and writings are like nothing else I have seen published or even
'promoted'. My compliments to the author."
More recent additions:
"All I can say is
that is pretty advanced stuff. Probably overkill for just about everyone. It is
amazing the level you operate on."
Referring to Four
'New' ABCD Pattern Variations: "Well, as always just excellent! I read
it the 1st time in 2.5 hrs front to back. I was a sponge and ALL of it just hit
without any confusion. The surprise for me was the trend continuation ABCD.
That one has given me problems in the past because I was on the other side. Now
I know what to watch out for."
"I did read your new book again and took my time the 2nd
time around. I spent about 5 hours on Saturday carefully reviewing the points
and marking the sections that I will revisit on the 3rd read. You just continue
to raise the bar on real world trading material. With your complete body of
work, including the median line work and members commentary, I really don't
think there is anything else available to the public (or otherwise?) that comes
close. I STOPPED looking when my comprehension of your methodology started to
click and after working with you personally as a mentor student.
Thank you and
please let me know if there is anything I can do to help."

"This is the wheat farmer from Kansas
and I am Back!!! You sounded surprised but when you are such a good teacher,
how can I not learn from you. The three reasons I am back are:
- You showed me the
markets can be figured out ahead of time in a live situation and that impressed
me.
- You
analyzed charts with just price action and no indicators and that impressed
me.
- I
made money...that really impressed me."
Bruce J. Trader,

"I have been going through the (member
section) archives, amazing stuff. You're on top of your game. It all makes
sense to me. You do a very good job at describing/summarizing your thought
process. I am looking forward to reading your books as it seems you have every
step of your trade process and game plan explained in there."
"I want to thank
you for writing Four 'New' ABCD Pattern
Variations and Median Line and
Fibonacci Synergy. In MLFS you describe the subtle specifics of
ML's and adjusted ML's. Your adjusted ML's are a killer... You've taking lines
to another level (adjusted ML's especially) in creating the synergy with fib
price levels intersections. You have put so many great ideas to words and
pictures, and they all fit together. (Always reminds me of the A-Team : "I love
it when a plan comes together").
The four new ABCD patterns are great and I always look
for them on charts. Mr. 30 (see author's note below), you must have found a way
to tap into your right brain powers when I see all the great material you have
come up with. I attached a chart of Friday's trade ABCD into adjusted ML,
etc... Thanks for the incredible book set and many original ideas and
setups."
"Your whole approach to trading is very detailed, balanced. And
it's teachable, you do a good job at it via your books and members section. And I was
pleasantly surprised how good you are at using your charting (intermarket
analysis...) to assist/describe your 'economic outlook'. You're way above
value, 3rd standard deviation, maybe higher... "
Author's note: This is a reference
to a test I mentioned in the book that I once took to determine how left or
right-brained I was. The score range went from -30 for maximum right-brained,
up to +30 for maximum left-brained, with 0 being neutral. I scored +30, and
nicknamed myself 'Mr. 30' to remind myself how one-sided I was.
Bart B. Trader,

"I just finished my first reading of
Four 'New' ABCD Pattern
Variations, and at the same time received the second book (Median Line and Fibonacci Synergy).
With respect to the first book, I'm short of superlatives, so I'll just say:
awesome! You overlaid the patterns and the process, in a clear way, simple and
very well structured. The best testimony is the fact that I have nothing to ask
you. It's all clear to me. Of course, I was running to the charts, and it is
simply fantastic. The patterns are just popping up to the eye. Even to the
degree, I don't need to put the defining fibs on. I know it fits just by
eyeballing.
The greatest thing I took from the book is to think 'corrective'
when I see the patterns. I never though about double-tops as potentially
corrective patterns. Actually, I was seeing these patterns already by myself,
but now I have them structurally defined and with the right context. And that's
the great thing I got from your book. I think that around page 160, you were
'asking' for this kind of feedback. But I can ensure you that this is a genuine
feedback, not an 'ordered' one, as I had it well before p.160. And I think that
you know me a bit by now, so you know I'm not BS'ing. Once again, thanks for a
great book."
Kobi B. Trader,
Belgium

From one of my initial mentor students,
when I mentioned in an email that I was quite surprised that he still reads my
free commentary after all this time:
"As far as me checking your free commentary,
it's not for the information really, it is almost as if it's a way to honor you
and a way to keep in touch with you, just like in martial arts you always want
to be in touch with your master. Well, that's how I feel about you, and this
way once a week I take the opportunity to feel your presence so of speak,
remember your teachings, and feel your energy and power."

"Thanks again for sharing your insight
and approach. My account profit has nearly doubled since I have read your
works, especially by improving my pre-trade analysis and strategies, and by
improving and adding consistency to my entry techniques in some situations, and
(in my most profitable technique!!) avoiding entry all together rather than
forcing it.
Interestingly, it is a great tribute to the effectiveness of
'harmonic' trading in general that I am solidly profitable, given this is in
theory my 10th month of trading with this approach. So, you can see why I am so
interested in refining my techniques, and getting more background."
Jeff F. Trader

"Further to your announcement (Jim's
note: the announcement about ending the members' service), I thought I'd
drop you a quick note after the 'first thrust' e-mails to thank you for your
dedicated work and for giving me extended access to the archives. I now feel
like I know you way beyond your being the author of a series of trading
books.
Yes,
the books are a great foundation for learning the skills to understand and
structure your methodology, however, your Trading Commentary and Archives go
much further than I would have thought and are an amazing guide to the
application of that methodology in a remote mentoring process. The Trading
Commentary is as close to having a master teacher with me as I could imagine.
So, thank you for making the personal sacrifices to put out a great service and
sticking with it as long as you have.
Because I am still in a full-time career and
not yet a full-time trader, I have been using your Trading Commentary to learn
the 'trader walk' and to gradually position myself for the inevitable
transition to trading. Having now read quite a few Archive commentaries, I feel
as though I will miss that aspect of your teaching personality the most. They
are simply outstanding! Please keep me in mind as you restructure the services
going forward."
Stan W. Aspiring
full-time trader

"What a day!! You could use this chart
as a text for ABCD patterns. I am on my second read of the Four 'New' ABCD
Pattern Variations book, and it is great to see the practical value of these
ABCD patterns. These patterns are unbelievable. I feel like I have a lot more
to learn, but I have learned so much already! Thank you for sharing these
patterns."
"I wanted you to know how amazing your work is. Think about it, how
many trading books have you read over the weekend and applied the methods the
next trading day. Not only that, but that chart had 3 different ABCD patterns
on it, if I am not mistaken. Now I am not as well read as you but this has
never happened to me before. Not only that, but look at the 13-min chart I sent
you. More ABCD's!!
You see, Jim, I am used to trading with 5-6 different stochastic
indicators, and fancy colored bars that tell you when the trend SHOULD end. I
feel like I got a get out of jail free card trading the ABCD's WITH the trend.
So sure, use it if you want (Jim's note: I asked if I could use his comments
for a testimonial). I don't know how much it will help you, people hear what
they what. You don't tell them they can make a million in 6 months, you have no
fancy colored indicators, but what you do have are some very learnable
techniques that WORK quite well."
"I have been thinking about what you said about the
books (Jim's note: this is in reference to my lowering the price for a group of
fifty-three books I was selling from my personal trading library) and I have
come to the conclusion that you are so right. The price of $400 dollars is more
than a great deal for the entire set. I have decided, however, that I am going
to concentrate on the 11 books (of yours) that I have.
I cannot tell you how happy I am
with the work that you have put together. I would like to tell you why. I have
never really had a trading plan before. I have bought many systems before, and
spent many thousands on my trading education. But never have I bought a set of
books that prepared me for every aspect trading. From the PTA, to the entry, to
management, and exits. It is all covered. I now have a complete trading plan.
That is an extremely good feeling. No more doubt. No more questions. Just
follow the extremely well thought out trading plan.
Another thing that I like about the
Kane methodology is that it is applicable to ANY chart. I feel liberated. I see
ABCD's everywhere! From oil to gold to the indices. Have you taken a look at a
Nikkei 225 chart lately? WOW. So, although I love books, I will have to pass on
this great deal. I will read and re-read, and then read again the set of 11 of
books that you have written, and then I will sign up for the mentorship. I
think that for me this would be a better allocation of resources."
"Sorry to keep
bothering you with my charts. I am still amazed at the way that the ABCD and
Median Line Synergy works day after day. No one else would understand the
beauty of this chart but the creator of its tools. Look at the way that the
ABCD and the Median Line merge at the high of the day. See how all the ABCD
corrections converge with either the Median Line or a warning line of one of
your adjusted sets? See how well the price 'sees' the larger red Median Line on
the bottom. This is only the Median Line and ABCD work. It does not include the
fib work. I am still learning, but I would like to thank you for sharing your
work. It is truly a thing of beauty."
"The adjusted median lines, the fib numbers
that no one else is looking at, the multiple ABCD targets, the entry
techniques, oh, and that trailing stop!! There should be a law against it!!
Yeah, it's OK, you deserve a swelled head. You are the real deal. The most
complete set of trading books ever written. Pat yourself on the back."
"I enjoyed our
conversation last night, also. I learned quite a bit from that session that we
had last night, some of which I have already put to work! You have a profound
knowledge of the markets and you communicate it in a way that a rookie like me
can understand. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
You can use any comments that you like. I really meant what I said, your work
is the best that I have seen, and your style of writing and teaching makes it
easy for anyone to understand."
"Thanks for the chart! I love getting charts from you! I
always learn something! I never thought to look for ABCD's. I thought that this
was too small of a timeframe to produce any sizable move (Jim's note: this is
in regards to an intraday chart I sent him). From the looks of your chart, I
have been mistaken. These are the two trades that I took today. When I see
stuff like this I have to take my hat off to you. I really don't know why all
of your books are not sold out!! The .886 and the (deleted, sorry) in
conjunction with the ABCD and the Median lines. I love it!! Before I received
your books I never traded with Fibs or Median lines. My goal was to get 2 ES
points a day. Now look at me, the last trade was over 10 points!
I read on the
(deleted) forum how traders are having trouble with exits and trade management.
I feel extremely lucky to have a teacher like you who has dissected every
aspect of the trade. The commentaries (Jim's note: members' archive) are simply
amazing. Your attention to detail and your ability to convey the material
continues to amaze me. Oh, I wanted to tell you that one of the comments that
you made when we talked on the phone has really helped me. You said "Always
look for multiple scenarios." This comment helped me keep an open mind and not
get locked into what I think the market 'should' do. This has been very
valuable advice for me."
Duane M. Trader

"I read your first two books and I have
to say that I'm really impressed. I really like very much both your methodical
approach to trading and to teaching others. I have read about 200 books on the
subject and yours really stand out."
"Your customer focus simply amazes me. It's
difficult to imagine for me, how a busy, high profile trader and writer like
you can remember about a small customer from overseas like me ? Coming back to
your book set I'm now finishing 'Trailing Stops'. I'm strictly following your
advice regarding the order in which the whole set should be read and I think it
was a good idea to post it. I agree with you that one needs to read the books a
few times in order to get the full understanding and that's exactly what I'm
planning to do.
I have to say that I simply LOVE your books. I wish I
could have read them long ago because I think that with this knowledge anybody
could become successful at any markets. And the more I read the more I feel
that you really care about me - your reader becoming a successful
trader."
"I
have just finished my first reading of your book set. This is outstanding! This
is awesome! You are the Man! When I tried to play with Median Lines on historic
data from our local exchange it simply knocked my socks off. It is difficult to
find a chart where you can't find it working! This knowledge should be
prohibited! Your work should be used as a final and definitive refutation of
the random walk theory :-) I was trying to find something negative for feedback
(I believe it's difficult to improve when one gets only positive feedback, and
you get tons of it) but I failed... I really don't know how to thank
you."
Jarek P. Aspiring
trader, Poland

"I have purchased at least 100 books and
at least 10 courses that cost over $1000.00 each, AND none of those made a
single mention of your median line technique."
"I did place 3 cash trades last
week in my FOREX account using your Advanced Fib book technique of trading with
the trend. 3 winners. Nailed the entry each time. I most certainly will keep in
mind about using your mentor services. I'm very pleased with my purchase so
far. Thanks again."
"I like it when I finish a book and I don't have to take a lot of
notes. I went straight to the computer and paper traded 10 examples fairly
quickly. Easy to spot. Easy to trade. I agree with you, a good low risk trade
that puts an edge in your favor. Gosh, when I'm scrolling through the charts,
you've created such a nice set of patterns to look for. If the continuation
pattern doesn't set up, then, maybe the ABCD pattern will setup. Or, a trade
off the median line/trendline. I am really very pleased with my
purchase."
"...over the past few hours of looking at charts, your book
definitely helped get me 'IN on the TREND' much more so than I ever was. It
also just seems to help me to stay focused on trading in the right direction
much more than I usually do. Another impressive writing effort on your part.
Thanks for sharing."
"No need to write back much on these e-mails. I'm just excited that
you wrote something that works for me, too. Finished the entry techniques book
(great book), and now I'm on page 3 of the last book- trailing stops. Be sure
and put me on your email list when you finish your next book."
"You don't need to
waste your valuable time responding to this email, but I do want you to know
that your exit strategies book is also another excellent book, in my
opinion."
"I originally wrote you an email -- it said that I had purchased 4
books, and now I wanted to purchase the rest of the set. You replied that if I
liked the first 4 books, that I'd like the rest of the books 10 times more.
Jim, I have to admit, I didn't believe you. I was hoping that I'd like them at
least half as much. But, now, after reading them, I think 21 times (a fib #)
would be more accurate.
I don't know what else to say except thank you, thank you, thank
you for writing your book series. Keep writing and I'll keep buying
them.
In a
few weeks, after I digest all this information I'd like to buy some
conversation time with you. As of right now, the books were so good, I don't
have any questions."
John H. Trader

"I have read all your books twice and
some of them even three times, and even though you may hear this often I can't
say enough about the educational and practical value that you have put on
display here. There is nothing comparable out there. As you know I have been
using median lines prior to studying your material, but I always felt that I
needed something extra to use with median lines. Your work is exactly that, and
I look for nothing else when attempting a trade."
Michael R. Trader

"I just wanted to thank you for writing
your books. I finished the entire set and learned a lot. I appreciate your
single-minded explorations of Patterns and Fibonacci ratios, and the new
developments you've made. Your focused and detailed descriptions have given me
clarity on many concepts, such as Context, Multiple Timeframes, and much more.
I also appreciate you giving the reader a comprehensive system in which to
trade.
I
would describe the books as a cross between a journal and a workbook, where,
like a journal, you not only give us your impressions and analyses, but also
communicate your thought processes. This is helpful because you don't just give
us the results, but give us a way of thinking. At the same time, the books are
also like a workbook, where you take us through step by step, yet direct us to
work through the examples on our own, so we see the entire system
unfold.
My
favorite book was Median Line and
Fibonacci Synergy, and one of my favorite things about it was how you
broke the median line rules when you found something that worked, and you found
something that worked because you were willing to break the rules. I think
that's what made the biggest impression on me."
Chuck C. Trader

"I have completed reading your 'Book
Set' and was greatly impressed with your:
1) genius, creativity, and trading
ability
2)
dedication to quality and detail in your writing and book production
3) teaching
ability
4)
ability to reduce a lot of what I call the 'Art' part of trading to written
description, and a lot more.
I love your work! I am sure you are 'keeping up the good

I am planning to reread those books
of your set that I have only read once, ASAP. After that is done, I plan on
rereading your book set 'continuously' until I master all the material you
presented. Your works and writings have completely redirected my thinking about
trading. Good Trading and thank you for writing these books and sharing your
thoughts."... "You are certainly a bright light in the world, trading and
otherwise, and I hope you continue to guide people for a long, long
time."
Albert K. Aspiring
trader

"The forum is really great. There are so
many things I discover when other people post their charts. When you show a
picture for two people (chart) they see different things. And on top of that
have the author himself giving away his thoughts for free. Where can anyone
find such a place more than at the Kane Trading forum!
Every time I see price land right
at your fib numbers I just wonder how many hours you must have spent to find
them, validate them, and retry them again before using them and print them in
your books!!
The methodology will never be computerized, there is too much 'art
part' and experience behind it, especially with the lines, so I don't think you
have to be afraid of that. And, of course, I realize what a journey I have to
do, to be a couple of percent of the capacity you have.
I am one of them who will miss your
weekly commentary really much, but I think you do the right thing, life is too
short...
I
will look forward to the monthly commentary instead."
and:
"It is sad that I didn't find your
website much earlier, it would had saved me a lot of hours. I hope people out
there realize the fantastic work you have put together. It takes a lot of hours
to learn, but like any profession you won't be a master overnight. Probably it
takes years to learn so much that you can say I am fairly good in trading. My
trading plan for now is only from two writers, Jim 90% and (name removed) 10%.
By the way my trading account is slowly growing for the first time, and that is
what the books are for, I suppose! The problem is that I think the chartwork is
so fun that I almost forget about trading sometimes!"
Mats F. Trader,
Sweden

"I've finished my first (of what I'm
sure will ultimately become many reads) of all the books.
Wow! You are a very
original thinker. I love the way you've combined "harmonicity", patterns and ML
sets to create low risk trading ideas. I also like the way you let your profits
run. You have presented so many new ideas to me that it's a bit like drinking
out of the proverbial fire hose. Trust me, that's a very good thing for me.
Thank you for sharing your ideas. I know this was a conscious decision and you
could have just as easily kept everything for your own personal use. .
While I have much,
much work ahead of me, I would like to begin accessing the forum as soon as
possible.
Thanks again for sharing all of this knowledge!"
Peter E. Trader

"I purchased the Kane Trading book set
in May 2007. I have found your work truly fascinating and fun to learn. What I
like most is how the material is presented and to the point, no mumbo jumbo.
Its not material you can find at the book store...
I was wondering if you are still
accepting mentorship applications anytime soon?...
I can not really explain why I like
the material other than it fascinates me and makes me want to work with charts.
It has been awhile since I could read and re-read books. Usually when I get a
book I scan through it and put it on my book shelf. With your books they sit on
my table and I read them every chance I get. It's amazing how your Fibonacci
numbers find support and resistance."
"Can't wait for your next commentary. I think
I checked your site 15 times for the last one to be posted. Like always, your
work is amazing."
Jeremy R. Trader

"I have now read though all the books. I
really like your methodology, and the books were really something special. I've
read a lot of trading books, and I've learned so much more from your books than
in all the other books I've read as far as things I can use in my trading plan
and the whole process of trading. I look forward to continuing the study of
this methodology, and in a few months I will most likely buy access to the
member's archive because I'm
sure I will learn a lot from going through all your commentaries in
there."
Bjorn S. Trader,
Norway

"I've read all your 9 books and 2
Articles. And, well, I don't know what to say!
Is this the same market I was
trading? Are those the same charts I was looking at? What I've read and learned
is just fascinating. I see the market in a totally different way. I'm glad you
are selling only the complete set.
I don't say I became an expert now, but I can feel the
change in my knowledge and my ideas about 'trading'.
I know it took me longer than I
expected to finish reading the books. This is because I got extra busy with my
job for a while. And, when I am learning something new I stop reading and get
busy with the charts. Anyway, the 2nd round shouldn't be as long.
Thanks for sharing
those ideas and discoveries."
Fawaz K. Trader,
Saudi Arabia

"I find your books really packed with
useful information. The second time through I learned a lot more. Once I had a
basic grasp of the material I picked up a lot more the second time around. I am
really glad I bought your book set :-)"
"I really love the books. In my opinion it is
the best stuff on trading I ever read. I really like the way you 'talk' in the
books explaining what is going on and your thoughts. It puts a lot in
perspective which is very different from other material I have read. For me the
most important part of the books, and what I like best is the thought process
involved. Following a mechanical strategy is one thing, learning to think and
understand what is actually occurring, and why, is absolutely invaluable. The
books opened up an entirely new world for me as far as looking at the charts. I
guess you could say the light went on.
I have not been trading live. What
I have been doing is going back through all the books and creating a check
sheet if you will. I go through each chapter and create a list to follow while
trading. This way I can follow and learn without developing any bad habits, or
doing one thing because I did not quite remember it properly, instead of what
you actually taught. I am slow as far as typing which is taking me a little
time, but I want the list on my computer and a hard copy so I can review it as
needed, and have room to write. This way I can make notes, and go back to the
books for clarification, changing the 'check sheet' easily as my understanding
due to experience increases, and as I discover other countless 'gems' in the
books.
I
have the books on my night stand. I read and have reviewed them daily since
they have arrived.
What trading I have done, in demo accounts only, has opened my
eyes. Since I am new to trading I decided to focus on one area of the markets
before expanding into other areas. My focus has been on Forex. My experience
has been so far that your method allows me to take more pips out of the market
per given trade than other methods. I get into the trades earlier gaining more
pips out of the move, and maximize the 'run' without over staying the move or
bailing out too quickly. I have had some difficulty due to inexperience which
will be remedied with time. I would take a trade on one pattern which would not
work out, only to realize later I traded against a larger pattern which I did
not recognize at the time, even though I looked for it. When I would review the
trade at a later date, after the larger pattern completed, I could easily see
what I did wrong. This is actually what I like best about your books, now I can
recognize and understand much better what is actually happening, where before I
did not have this understanding.
I would like to work with you. After reading your
material I would be a fool not to..."

"First, allow me to thank you for
sharing with us your knowledge and experience in such a coherent way. I still
haven't applied to practice any of the material in your books, so I can't
comment on the setups per se, but I can definitely say that you did a superb
job explaining the material. I have read a few trading books, and yours surpass
them all by far in conveying your ideas step-by-step and tackling them from
different perspectives. The fact that you have decided to publish an edge that
appears to be making money for you, is worthy of admiration on its own.
If I had
to divide your material into two groups, they would probably be:
A) recognizing
PTA's, and
B) making PTA-based trading decisions.
It's A that I find more
challenging. In my own trading in (country withheld by request), I am
used to making context analysis and managing the trade discretionarily, so I am
not intimidated by the ambiguity of part B. It's the lack of background in
Fibonacci or Elliott Wave techniques that makes it difficult for me to
recognize and assess patterns on charts as they unfold. Therefore, my next
objective would be analyzing charts, and assessing the harmonicity of the issue
at the given time with all the retracements, projections, and ML's.
As I am solely a day trader (my
trading plan for this year), I will be focusing on analyzing 3-5 min charts
with 13-15 min context of DAX futures - the same way that you do with the mini
S&P, to my understanding. One of the many ABCD patterns that you list in
your books (plus the four point pattern) in the direction of the traded
timeframe trend, will serve as a a trigger to start analyzing the chart. I
think that there will be much more value to phone support, after I feel
comfortable with the above."

"By the way - thanks for the whole book
set. I've spent the last six months on reading them, making the notes,
rewriting the notes, creating my trading plan and that was a really
enlightening experience. I think this is the most comprehensive set of
knowledge about Fibonacci geometry... I think that context analysis, proper
entry techniques and effective trade management were the areas that many of us,
usual pattern traders, were ignoring and concentrating just on the PTA analysis
instead. This book set resolves all those issues, motivates to do the hard work
and gives a lot of ideas how the complete trading plan should look
like.
II
also tried to divide everything into some kind of short procedures executed
during all the phases of the trade and based on your books created some kind of
a Trade Template that could be used as a set of guidelines for myself as a
beginner. I included that as the attachment to this email. This is just a
general outlook and there's more behind those plus (+) signs after the main
points (every technique is a set of check lists that need to be executed (or
are optional), just like in the Entry Technique example). I hope all of them
will become more automatic but I understand that it requires much more
experience.
And I also hope that someday in the future I'll be able to give
something back in return for all that knowledge and all your work you have done
in this area but at this moment I'm just learning, doing the hard work and I
know that there's still a long road to go."
