And so my story begins...
I started trading futures in 1989 after ordering a course from a trading 'cowboy' that had promised the sky, moon and stars. At the time I was working as a computer programmer, so my attention was towards trading in a style that did not require constant watching.
It did not take long to realize that the 'cowboy' way of trading was not for me. After blowing out my first account due to the size of risk each trade required with the methods I was taught, it became obvious that I better find a better way to time my trades so that my risk exposure was small or risk blowing out the account again.
"It was 1991 when I first heard the word "Fibonacci". Not one for 'predictions', I found it interesting how the markets did seem to follow some 'Natural Law' in the way it was making tops and bottoms. So the direction I took was to learn more about the 'natural' behavior of the markets and whether or not this could be exploited for trading profitably. Soon I came to realize that there is a natural order to market behavior, and that it could in fact be exploited as my trading took on a whole new life.
Using my skills as a programmer, I tested various theories that eventually led to several remarkable discoveries about market price action. "It soon became clear to me that most of the material on trading out there was useless because they did not take into account the underlying reasons for market behavior."
Concepts and discoveries that worked I built on while things that I did not feel worked was dropped. By 1996, I had created several useful market timing and market forecasting trading tools that helped make market predictions with above average accuracy. One powerful discovery opened up another discovery, and yet another discovery. My ability to forecast market turns was increasing daily to the point that many took note of my market forecasts.
It was during 1996 that I first came upon the Internet scene. There I found a trading forum (and eventually several) where I shared my market predictions. Within a very short period of time, I formed a group for traders interested in my market calls and methods..
It was at this time that I left my programming job in order to devote myself to market forecasting and trading full-time. Eventually, due to the number of traders interested in my work trading software tools and the success of my methods, I started the FDate Market Timing trading membership.
"The works of W. D. Gann, J. M. Hurst, George Bayer and many others who have shared their knowledge about market cycles became extremely useful in providing new direction in market forecasting for me. While my market forecasting work has been mainly mathematical up until around 2000, my research led me to discover that the underlying influence to market behavior are a number of 'cycles' from natural origins. A connection was also made between the 'cyclic patterns' and pure mathematics. This eventually led to even greater discoveries that our members now benefit from."
By 2001, the original mathematical forecasting program FDates was given a new predictive algorithm based on Dynamic Cycle Extraction. How this is done is extremely unique and of course proprietary. While it became clear that the 'methods' used to perform the calculations should not be made public, members are provided with the results from these proprietary forecasting programs and eventually given an opportunity to acquire these programs as well for personal use.
In 2008, I decided to trade that whole year in real-time for the benefit of the FDates Market Timing Membership so they could see how I personally apply the work I have been sharing for 12 years up to that point. Most traders should know that it is hard enough to trade as it is, but to do so in front of many that would naturally be scrutinizing every trade made can have a devastating impact on the end result. However, when the year ended, the profits greatly outpaced the losses for a nice even profit curve. Needless to say, there is no need to do that again as I am trading for the same reason others are...to profit, not to show off. **
Now it is 2010, and 14 years have passed with ProfitMax Trading Inc. still at the forefront of forecasting future market tops and bottoms with a high degree of accuracy. That says a lot about our FDates Market Timing Membership as we have stood the test of time. What we provide here within the FDates Market Timing Membership is simply unique and is not available anywhere else in the world. It has been my pleasure to share my work with other traders also interested in trades that have low initial risk and a higher probability of profiting.
The membership is setup to provide all members with a weekly report of future daily and weekly turn dates, just as it has been for 14+ years now. In addition, additional powerful technical tools are available that used along with FDates gives traders an INCREDIBLE EDGE!
"You'd be amazed at what we have accomplished with FDates and these supporting tools."
