Hi Natasha

Do not be hard on yourself  take the time, give yourself eight 
months to a  year to learn woodies system. After that you can add to 
your trading arsenal by adding other methods and systems. Try to get 
a real good grasp of Woodies system.

In essence the system is quite straightforward. It tries to give you 
a systematic approach to the markets. The market is a manic 
depressive beast. One moment prices shoot up to the sky. The next 
minute they plunge to all time lows. Woodies system helps you to 
find order in the chaos of rising and falling prices. It signals you 
when to trade from the Long side, the Short side and when to stand 
aside.

The main rules of the  system are.

1.	when prices are more than six bars above the zero line only 
trade from the Longs Side
2.	When prices are more than six bars below the zero line only 
trade from the short side

When price are more than six bars above or below the zeroline it 
means that there is an established up or down trend.

When you have found an establish up or down trend, look for a 
tradable pattern. There are about eight or nine tradable patterns in 
woodies system. I use the following three in my trading. My 
preference goes to the ZLR.

ZLR - Zero Line Rejects
TLB - Trend Line Breaks
HTLB - Horizontal Trend Line Breaks

The philosophy behind these patterns is  to take advantage of prices 
hitting support or resistance. The system work on all time frames 
(Intraday & EOD) on currencies, stocks and commodities. It is a 
censoring system with a trigger to signal you when to enter the 
market of your choice.

My suggestion to you is to start with just one pattern for instance 
the ZLR.
Jeff `s Document on the CCI is a good starting point.. Here is the 
link
http://woodiescciclub.com/Trading-Woodies-CCI-System.pdf

Paper trade the system for a while, after this trade stocks in lots 
of 5 or 10 , when you make a mistake you only lose a couple of  
cents at the most a few dollars. The advantage of this is that you 
are practicing real trading. Paper trading is phony. It is only good 
for practicing the moves. But after this move on trading small lots 
5 to 10 stocks. As your expertise and confidence grows you can 
increase your trading size.
