And so the story begins...

Computer specialist (software/hardware) who started trading futures in 1989. Focus on the grains and livestock market groups.

Developed a strong interest in technical analysis, especially Market Geometry in 1990. Started developing software applications designed to help anticipate when the markets would most likely change trend at this time.

During a stretch in 1991 using Fibonacci as the basis for analysis, managed to forecast every significant turn in the Pork Bellies market for several weeks while full-time trading between computer jobs. Once new employment commenced, this streak ended as the focus became divided. However, this was the "ah-ha" period that solidified the fact that the markets are predictable and greatly influenced by Natural Laws.

Using skills as a programmer and experience in trading, various theories were tested that eventually led to 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."

By 1996, several market timing and market forecasting trading tools were developed that helped make market predictions with above average accuracy. One powerful discovery opened up another discovery, and yet another discovery. The ability to forecast market turns was increasing daily to the point that many took note of the public forecasts that were being published using these methods.

"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, a group formed for traders interested in my market calls and methods.."

Became a full-time Market Analyst and Forecaster in late 1996, leaving behind corporate America and full-time software programming. Started FutureSoft Publishing to produce software designed specifically towards market analysis and forecasting. Released "The Trading Calculators" program the same year that led to a large following of traders interested in precision timing. In time this group became what is now the FDate Market Timing trading membership following the release of a new and powerful forecasting application called "FDates".

Continued researching and developing in the field of market forecasting. A strong interest in the works of previous masters in the field of market forecasting led to more and more personal discoveries.

"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 improved upon. A new proprietary predictive algorithm based on Dynamic Cycle Extraction was added. Members of the FDate Membership receive the results from these proprietary forecasting programs via a weekly report and eventually given an opportunity to acquire these programs as well for personal use.

While the FDate Membership is all about members receiving valuable market timing information to use towards making their own trading decisions and not about specific trade recommendations, in 2008 the decision was made to post actual personal trades for one year.

"Trading is hard enough when no one is looking over your shoulders. Imagine the pressure to trade in real-time before many other traders looking over your shoulders. Trust me, this kind of pressure does not improve trading results but will likely hamper it. Yet, during 2008 I posted my actual real-money trades right when I made them so that everyone on the forum could see what I was doing. By the end of the year, all the members could see the total profits vs. losses and note it was a profitable year in spite of that extra pressure. The point was that FDates are extremely valuable for use in market timing trades. However, since every trader makes their own trading decisions, my results or that of other traders is actually quite meaningless. This is a big reason why my personal trading is my own business and should not be used to encourage or deter others from learning and using FDates. So when people ask from time to time about my account statements, they do not understand that we do not give specific trade recommendations and that my own trading is not relevant. Some understand, some don't. Can't help that." **

The membership is setup to provide all members with a weekly report of future daily and weekly turn dates, just as it has since 1996. 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."
