Trading is simple, and yet our traders can use as much, or as little as they like...as long as they make money...that's what it is all about. Don
I guess my answer is "you get what you pay for"....and anyone who is in any profession seriously, will be happy to improve their skills. A lifetime fee of $1000 to get continuing education is a pretty fair price.....and we have hundreds every year who come back for more training. (not being defensive, just back from the expo where they sell all sorts of pure nonsense....of no value for a lot more). Don
OK, (not fat anymore guy!)....you just try to beat me to the limo one more time....lol. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself with this site...the "vocal minority" seem to fit into the palm of your hand...and the comedy is great. The many good guys have been very supportive, and you've known me for years....and I think the couple of "naysayers" are also providing humor for us all......and I like your posts....I have to get back to them....(many pages during the expo)..... Don
We cover the charting that we find valuable (tick charts of S&P's), suppor resistance, longer term correlations and the like....but we try to get people into the "here and now" of tape reading and doing the things that are "working" right now... I first need to get new traders away from some of the "too much thinking" thought processes, which make them very late for trading real time, short term....then we "build them back up again" after they're trading..... Keeping is simple is proving to be extremely productive for our traders...and as they say "the proof is in the pudding"....profit wise. So, don't worry, your understanding of T/A are not wasted. Don

Don I see Don has now become the Consumer Reports of trading products and services. Isn't it nice to have an objective voice like Don evaluating products and services at the expo? Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to know that Don is looking out for all of us. One big happy family.
"Oh my God"....what is the World coming to? Glad to see everyone having some fun....as I did at the expo....btw, I answered your PM this morning, sorry for not getting back to you earlier!! Don
Why thank you, I sure appreciate your confidence in my opinions. I always appreciate your subtle humor, and I'm sure you and I, along with "thetraderprofit" and perhaps "lidodido" can look at all this and laugh over a soda some day.... Don
$1000 to listen to outdated nonsense until you take a dirt nap. now who can turn down that? I've got a better deal... $2000 for my week of trading training for life and beyond... I have hired a psychic to contact you in the after life. And of course at twice the price you get twice the quality... trust me Don, I will give you a free trial too.
Yeah, I guess making money is "outdated" too....funny post however... I know that most cannot do what we try to teach, but we keep trying, and the success rate is great....especially when compared to those who already have "opinions" on how to make money. We cannot, however, help those who simply refuse to believe the obvious..."this is what is working" real time, real money....(not trying to be argumentative, but we are in the Real world, with real numbers, not imaginary...as so many "new systems" and "software" are...."fun but no money".... Anyway, I hope you're making money...and good luck! Don
My favorite moment at the show was at one of Don's presentations at their booth. He is speaking though his 150W speaker systems and basically telling everyone near and far that virtually all the vendors are selling cr** and generally don' t know anything about trading. (I agree with him on that, btw !) The facial expressions on all the vendors around were just priceless. You could see that they were just waiting for Don to "shut up", so that they could go back to their sales pitch. Don also shared his view on analysts and lots of other good stuff. The best presentation on the floor !
