Hi Peter,
As I mentioned in earlier posts, and I will do it again, I will not use this
forum for self promotion. I have received 3 negative responses to my recent
posts including yours, but the rest have all been very positive, so it seems
that you and MB are in the minority. And several of the folks told me that
they printed out that post to use a future reference - and that just makes
my day!!! And I have a few other posts I am putting together for the List
which I am sure you will find just as enjoyable.
And considering your recent post which was not exactly complimentary of me,
it is quite obvious that your desire to learn rings of insincerity. And
quite frankly, I have better things to do with my time then play your game.
I have no problem sharing my methods in a private forum where I know the
members, and in fact I was recently invited to join a small, private group
of traders. I plan on sharing my methods with this group as I am certain I
will be able to learn from them as well. It's called teamwork and "the best
idea wins" approach. Maybe you should try it sometime.
However, I have absolutely no desire to fight or argue with people who
obviously have a very closed mind and are unwilling to try new ideas, and
whose only intention is to attack those who disagree with them. There are
no secrets to trading successfully. Regardless of whether you use a
mechanical system, a discretionary approach, or a combination of the two to
determine your entries, in the end it boils down to your ability to Execute
and control your emotions while in a trade - and not the other way around.
And unless you have a broker trade a system for you, WE ALL have to go
through that process.
I know the "system vendor" folks are cringing at that statement since they
want everyone to think their latest 'system' or charting program with all
kinds of new bells and whistles will turn them into successful traders.
Ring that cash register.... Unfortunately, that is equivalent to what comes
out the back end of a horse as IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.
Have a nice weekend,
Bob

Subject: .. holds promise: Heisler's pop quiz
>Bob, as a prospective student interested in purchasing the training you
>offer at your web site (www.price-rules.com), I would like to ask you the
>following questions:
>
>1) How many years have you been professionally trading?
>
>2) Could I have the names (e-mail / phone) of four students you have
taught
>who are currently trading your methods? I'd like to talk with them about
>their experiences in your course.
>
>3) What higher education credentials do you have in subjects related to
>trading and/or teaching?
>
>4) What books or articles have you published in trading related journals
>which describe in general terms your trading philosophy and techniques?
>
>5) Bob, I'd like to hit the ground running in your course. What books,
>chapters, articles would you recommend I read to get a foundation that
would
>prepare me to take maximal advantage of your course? Who are the trading
>authors you recommend?
>
>6) What courses, training, supervision have you had in teaching in
general,
>and teaching specifically related to trading? Could you tell me the name
of
>the person who supervised you during your training in teaching?
>
>7) Bob, most successful teachers give their students one page rating forms
>after the course to get feedback about their teaching and course content.
>Can you summarize the nature of your students' most recent ratings? What
>strengths do they report? Everyone can improve: What areas have they
noted
>that can be improved?
>
>8) Your ideas about reading price behavior sound interesting, and mirror
>views I have read about in the classical literature on trading. However,
it
>seems a bit vague. Can you tell me in general terms what it is you look
for
>in price behavior, how you spot it. Is it concrete enough so that we each
>can identify it clearly at the same time when it happens on a rt chart?
>
>9) What experiences and/or credentials do you have in computer
programming?
>Have you taken the Omega seminar in EL programming, or are you versatile in
>other computer languages?
>
>10) Have you programmed your own indicator and system ideas in Easy
>Language?
>
>11) Very often the process of coding one's ideas is in itself a learning
>experience. When you have coded aspects of your system methodology, or
your
>indicators, what has this process taught you about your trading? Has it
>been a source of ideas for improving your trading and that of your
students?
>
>12) Bob, you probably have seen many students come and go. What student
>attributes seem most often associated with success in your course?
>
>13) Students inevitably have rough times. Can you tell me about a recent
>student's trading problem, and how you helped him/her overcome it?
>
>14) Bob, your training, like those of others these days, if offered via
>"remote control": on the web, e-mail, phone calls. My best learning
>experiences have taken place in face to face seminars with other students
>and the instructor. Is it possible that I could sit in with you while you
>trade before I take your course to get a feel for your trading style?
>
>15) Is there an additional charge for sitting in with you while you trade
>and reviewing these trades together at the end of the day? I'd like to do
>this several times while the course is in progress. The idea I'm getting at
>is being sure we are "on the same page".
>
>16) Bob, what life experiences, from other areas of your life, have you
>found relevant to your trading success, and relevant to your teaching of
>traders?
>
>17) Bob, I'd like to call you at a convenient time, and talk with you on
>the phone. Let me have your number. This would give us both a chance to
>find out if our communication process will work smoothly. It is important
>to me that my course instructor and I be able to communicate openly about
my
>problems, strengths, and possible weaknesses as I progress in your course.
>
>Thank you.
