The FDates Membership
...for futures, commodity and Forex traders!
The chart above is not fiction. Those tops and bottoms you see highlighted on the chart above were in fact forecasted in advance to our trading members. In fact, we are now waiting for a low around 4/17 that should lead to higher prices into 4/29-30. This has not happened yet, as today is just 4/14/08.
The Traders Edge ...Knowing when to expect a TOP or BOTTOM in ADVANCE!
Imagine if someone was to hand you a small report, and on that report was the names of various futures markets and the dates when each would make a top or a bottom. Imagine that the accuracy of this report was very high. Would you want to continue receiving such information for all the other weeks to come? Imagine that during the week you are also provided with techniques and suggestions, opinions and answers to trading questions from an experienced trader/analyst and other traders like yourself.
Viewed by many as being the best futures trading information obtainable anywhere, the Fdate Report provides that kind of high quality information every week. With the report you will know in advance when to expect the various markets covered to either top or bottom. Also, being a member of Fdates, you have access to our Fdate Membership forum which provides an ongoing stream of information on the different Fdate markets during the week.

During a LIVE Trading Conference call with some of our members on Thursday, 3/27, we analyzed the Live Cattle chart as you see above. It was determined, before we concluded the call, that there was significant support at the 86.65 price area and that a market bottom was due on 3/31.
As you can see, we not only were aware of the day when the bottom was due to form, but we were alerted to a strong support level that was in fact hit and held on 3/31.
In addition, as is now a recorded fact on our membership forum under the Rick's Picks section, I announced, IN ADVANCE, that I was buying 5 June 92 Live Cattle CALL options as well as a LONG futures contract, all based on this advanced warning we had using our market turn dates for Live Cattle.
The link below will take you the actual entries found under the Rick's Picks section of our trading forum, where you can see the recorded details that was being provided as the trade was in play.
"Know Today the Market Turns of Tomorrow!"
"Unbelievable. Your projections are sweet! With your service, I may not have to [be] in the IS industry another 35 years." A.W.
"Rick's work is EXTREMELY GOOD, quite amazing actually." D.N.
"I have been following your FDate forecasts for over a year now mostly in the SP500. I have not been following the [weekly] forecasts as close, because I was getting advice from another source. I now realize that I should have been paying more attention, because the [weekly turn dates] are great too!" J.L.
"Rick, you are a breath of fresh air...you are making a difference in people's lives." S.W.
"My broker asked me today what I am doing different to place trades. I asked him why. He said he has been following my account closely and I am up 38% for the year. None of his other clients are even close! " J.P.
Below is an actual example of market forecast that I made in advance that, had you known about it, could have traded with minimal risk and an incredible amout of profit potential.
Did you know that bottom was going to be made on 11/14/2007? What if you did, what would you have done about it? We'll, if you were pretty confident that it was going to happen, you would likely look to buy as much Wheat (contracts) as you could.
That was just one of many big moves in this market alone for 2007. This particular move was 243 cents for a potential of $12,150 per contract!
Now I know what you are probably thinking at this time. "Sure it would be great to have known when that bottom was going to happen, but nobody could know that until it was too late."
Are you sure?
This major bottom in Wheat was actually forecasted in advance and made known to all our members!
Below is a copy of the actual posting alerting our members of this bottom.
Now I know there are a few terms you may not yet know, such as "DTD" and perhaps "time/price square". DTD stands for "Daily Turn Date", and the time/price square is just one of several useful timing tools we have at our disposal to use along with our DTDs and WTDs (Weekly Turn Dates).
But let's not get bogged down on the details just yet. You'll have plenty of time to become exposed to the amazing timing techniques for catching market tops and bottoms every week.
Let's get back to that Wheat example above and how you can catch these market turns right when they occur for your own trading.
How YOU Can Trade Moves Like This!
Okay, so was this a fluke? Are we just one dimensional here? You judge for yourself after you see that not only was the major bottom forecasted but also the major weekly/monthly top!
Note the date of this post. Notice that I make reference to a WTD and a DTD. These are the Weekly Turn Date (WTD) and the Daily Turn Date (DTD) that are provided on our weekly FDate Report to all members. These dates are provided IN ADVANCE!
Above you can see that I am referencing these dates, and reminding our members that "December monthly swing top due" and "this week is inside the WTD". Also, that within the week the day of 12/17 is one bar of our predicted 12/18 DTD with a "Strong Indication" on the report.
Bet you are wondering if all this forecasting is actually tradeable. Well, you decide. Here is a trade I personally took off that top in Wheat.
(Click on image above to see a larger view)
Wow! Not only catching the very bottom of this big move in Wheat, but also catching the very top. How can that be? Is this finally the Holy Grail? Some might think so. But actually, it is just pure mathematics and market cycles. But don't worry, because you don't have to do the math...WE DO IT FOR YOU!
But as the examples above clearly demonstrate, you can know in advance when to expect market tops and bottoms, and you can trade them for profits with low risk.
Do you trade the SP500? Here you see the tops and bottoms forecasted using our FDates turn dates.
Perhaps you trade the Crude Oil market. Here the bottom was forecasted to catch the big move up. In fact, I personally took out a CALL OPTION on this market for some quick profits with low risk!
Below you can see that I bought the 8950 CALL Option the first day following the exact bottom, and then liquidated it at the very first following top before it made the big correction.
That was a quick 115 point profit in two days trading options using FDates to forecast the very bottom of that move (that is still continuing as of this writing). $1150.00 PROFIT per contract.
And we are not talking about just the major tops and bottoms either. Here is an Australian Dollar trade I took based on a very short-term bottom. I entered this trade off the exact bottom and rode it for just two days to the top BEFORE the BIG correction! Thanks to FDates!
In fact, this trade was made in REAL-TIME with commentary for our members under the forum section called Rick's Picks. Here is a copy of that segment where the trade is discussed from start to finish.

These are just a few of the many, many, many...tops and bottoms that we have forecasted in the markets we cover. Now I know some of you might be thinking, "sure, show us only the winning trades." You're right, not all my trades are winners. Nobody's are.
However, with FDates, risk management is incredibly easy to do and the opportunities are too numerous to put on this page. You just simply have to come on board and put these FDates to work helping you make big winning trades.
Know in Advance, with a High Degree of Accuracy, When to Expect the Next Market Top or Bottom in Futures, Commodities and Forex.
"I have traded futures for over twenty years. During that time, I have used black box systems, momentum, moving averages, Elliott Wave theory, neural nets, and other analysis methods. Rick Ratchford's FDates are the most statistically consistent and profitable tool, on a risk adjusted basis, in my trading plan." E. B., Manitowoc, WI
