Frequently Asked Questions
There are many trading services on the Internet. Some provide you with a weekly newsletter
telling you what you should buy or sell and at what price, leaving you with having to make
no decision (and often no money) at all. Some just sell books, some just advice,
some...well...something else. So you are going to have questions that need answering. I
want you to be able to make an informed decision. So I put this FAQ page together in the
hopes of answering questions you may have.
A. DTDs and WTDs are the dates listed on our FDate Report for both the daily time frame (swing/pivot tops and bottoms on a daily price chart) and weekly time frame (swing/pivot tops and bottoms on a weekly price chart). All these 'turn dates' are collectively referred to as FDates (future turn dates). Sometimes the WTDs (weekly turn dates) may be referred to as WDates.
A. From the time FDates burst onto the trading scene back in 1997 as offered here by this membership, we've seen the FDates averaging an accuracy of 81%+ for a swing top or bottom to confirm within +/- 1 price bar. This percentage is for outright swing tops and bottoms (major/minor trend changes). If you include the PAUSE formations that also provide us with excellent trade setups and are also forecasted by FDates, this accuracy rate jumps well into the 90+ percentile The accuracy rate may fluctuate slightly from one market to the next and from one period in time to the next. These are averages as a whole (all the markets on the report).
A. Future Turn Dates (FDates) are used for precision timing our ENTRY. We do not use FDates to determine whether a future point in time will be a top or bottom. FDates are used as part of our determination as to whether we have a BUY or SELL setup for the market in question. Once a setup has been determined, we then determine the probability of that setup producing a profitable trade.
A.All members gain access to our private FDate forum. The forum is where members gain access to our training materials, Member Discussion Forum, segregated market analysis sections for each market we cover, weekly FDate Report (posted each Friday or Saturday), and archived FDate EOW (End-of-Week) Reports. Members also receive via email at the end of each week our FDate EOW Report. This report highlights the setups and trades produced by FDates for the concluded week. Once you join the membership, you will receive a Welcome Letter that provides you with your Username and Password along with initial instructions to get started.
A.You are not required to purchase any of our other products in order to take advantage of the FDates Market Timing Membership. However, in order to use FDates to spot Buy and Sell setups, you will need to have up-to-date charts for both the DAILY and WEEKLY time frames. For greater benefit, we strongly recommend using our Previsions Charting software (requires Metastock data)that was designed with FDate traders in mind. This charting program contains powerful analytical tools useful for further determining the profit potential of the setups. This program is provided FREE as part of our Premium Membership plans (this program contains tools that separately could sell for $1000 or more.)
A. A list of the markets currently covered can be found by clicking here.
A. You can always ask about the possibility of adding a different market on the report, but we do not provide FDates for different markets on request. Only those listed here are currently offered on the report. What some members have done is to purchase a license to the FDates software program(s) for personal use. This allows for calculating turn dates for ANY freely traded market you desire.
A. Our turn dates are calculated using historical price data on the futures markets found on our 'markets covered' list. For trading Forex, which is what I enjoy doing myself, you would use the dates listed for the currency futures. Since the currency futures are pegged to the USD, they can be used with the Forex pairs that are also pegged to the USD, such as USD/CAD and AUD/USD for example.
A.FDates found on our weekly FDate Report are only part of the process for determining Buy and Sell setups. They are not used alone. Looking at past FDate Reports would NOT provide any useful information without the benefit of the complete membership program and therefore would not be useful for evaluating our membership. For this reason, we do not provide past reports. In order to properly evaluate the membership, we have made available affordable INTRODUCTORY Membership plans. In addition, we have made this available at no risk. If within 14-days you determine this is not for you, simply contact us within 14-days of joining and request a full refund.
A.The FDates Market Timing Membership is not a recommendations newsletter service. You would not be presented with a list of Buy and Sell recommendations. Instead, the membership provides its members each week with DAILY and WEEKLY turn dates (FDates), training materials for determining Buy and Sell setups, ongoing market analysis provided by Rick Ratchford that highlights trade opportunities setting up, various market ALERTS to help members get ready for a new market move, and more. While Rick may discuss a trade that he is personally looking to take, and while he may provide specific details of the trade he is looking to take, members are not told as to what they should buy or sell. We empower our members with the information and tools to help them make their own determination as to what to buy or sell.
A.Because we make no specific trade recommendations, but are an instructional and informational service only, hypothetical statements are not applicable. The only way to evaluate the value of the information we provide is to evaluate the service directly via our Introductory Membership plans. There is no risk if you join via an Introductory plan. You can request a refund within the first 14-days if not completely satisfied.
A. YES WE DO! We guarantee that if you do not feel that FDates are right for you within the first 14-days, simply contact us and ask for a complete refund. All we ask is that you take full advantage of our training materials and ask questions if you do not understand something. If still not satisfied, simply email billing@amazingaccuracy.com and request a full refund within the first 14-days. This guarantee is only valid with the INTRODUCTORY MEMBERSHIP plan.
A.We provide FDates and market analysis for the Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen futures. As the currency futures change trend, so does their respective Forex pair. You could use our information on the Australian Dollar to trade the AUD/USD. You could use our British Pound information to trade the GBP/USD, etc. Note: When using the Canadian Dollar and Japanese Yen futures information for trading the Forex USD/CAD and USD/JPY, be sure to note that CD futures moves INVERSE of USD/CAD, and JY futures moves INVERSE of USD/JPY.
A. At the top of this page you will see a link that says SERVICES & PRODUCTS. That will take you to the Membership Plans we currently have available. Hope to see you aboard!
A. The membership expires when you receive your final report. The 4-week Membership, for example, would mean that your membership is good for 4 FDate Reports. Premium Memberships never expire unless you chose to cancel. The FDate Report is posted prior to the beginning of each trading week, usually on Friday or Saturday.
A. No. I only manage my own personal account.
A.For 14 years, once every two years, we provided a 30-day opportunity to acquire a license to our proprietary programs. We no longer do this. However, if you are a Platinum Premium Member with at least 6 months or more with the membership, your request may be considered. Please do not make this request unless serious. For an idea of the fees involved, click here.
A. You will find a link for Software Registration-Key Request found on the navigation menus at the right side of some of the sites pages. Or you can simply click HERE to go directly to the Registration-Key Request form.
