"The Best I've Purchased So Far..."
"Your course is the best I've purchased so far, after spending about $25,000 over the past 7 years on many useless trading systems / methods / seminars etc..
What a pleasure to view a method that really works in real time!"

"After 3 Years I Still Marvel At the Signals!"
"Things are going great. I trade the BTT system every morning until 9:00 a.m. (Pacific) and then head to work. I love the mix of trading in the morning and being out and about the rest of the day. I love the system and after 3 years I still marvel at the signals.."

"None Come Even Close To Being As Good As Yours"
To Ron and Valdi:
You guys really are "the best." I've taken many other courses and none come even close to being as good as yours. I've been trading my own account for about 5 years and I can now truthfully say that I am a consistently profitable trader.
Thanks so much!

"You Have Launched My Trading..."
Greetings Ron and Valdi,
I thought the CE Live broadcast was an unqualified success! It was the single best thing that I have done for my trading ever. Particularly helpful were your comments on trade selection and how the price action would affect the decisions of other traders.
I put all that information to use on Friday to take another 10 pts. out of the market (using real money too).
It would probably be easy for you gentlemen to sit back and trade your own accounts, do just fine and not put up with all the aggravation of putting on a great course like this. I for one am very glad you decided to share your knowledge and experience with other traders like me.
You have really "launched" my trading. Many thanks for your efforts.
Best regards,

"Great Day for Me...34 Points"
Ron and Valdi:
Great day for me...34pts. I was able to sit back and give the trades time to work. I have always been too fast to get out and miss the good running trades. The broadcast is really helping me in this regard. I see now that being impatient has been my main weakness.

"I'm Up 26 Points on the Day"
Dear Ron:
What great fun! I'm up 26 pts on the day. I wish I hadn't gotten out at
93.50, but it was still a $1,000 trade and I may get back in if we get a
pull-back. I'm working on my discipline and having a blast .
Trading is the neatest thing I have ever done (maybe with the exception of driving stockcars).
Thanks for all your help.

"I Made 18 Points Today..."
Hi Ron and Valdi,
The Continuing Education Broadcast is actually the most valuable part of the "course" for me. The best way to learn a new skill is to follow around someone who is really good at it already.
By "looking over your shoulder" during the trading day, I can better understand how to identify the setups as they are forming, and where to exit each trade.
The Coaching and Mentoring that you offer is invaluable... ..I would not have expected the long up run we had this afternoon, and I am sure that I would have exited out of it way early.
As it was I made 18 points today. In view of this realization, the CE broadcast is effectively free. (that doesn't mean you can start charging more!). Hearing you talk about the trades you did NOT take was also as valuable as learning more about how you choose your exits.
One of the strategies that you discussed today.. ..worked for us this morning, staying in that trade before lunch.. I'm very pleased with your course, and we'll see what kind of trader I can become in the next month or so!
Best personal regards and looking forward to tomorrow!

"The Results Have Been Amazing!"
Dear Ron and Valdi:
I just wanted to let you know how effective your methodology really is. As you know I completed your course last August. At that time I had no experience of any kind trading. I applied the methodology first by paper trading, then trading the e-mini's, and finally using full sized contracts. The results have been amazing!
Since taking the course I have investigated as many other technical tools as I could, including Bollinger bands, Fibonacci Retracements, and Stochastics to name a few.
I have also tested some other trading systems and consistently your methodology has out performed these other systems. It seems to have integrated the best of each into a systematic approach with managed risk and proven performance.
I would highly recommend your methodology to anyone genuinely interested in day trading the S&P 500, and especially to anyone just entering trading.
Thanks again for everything.
Sincerely
R. Keeper, Houston, Texas

"Your Methods Are Consistently Profitable"
Dear Valdi:
I just wanted to thank you and Ron for putting together something that is simple and really works. I've tried a lot of other things that just lost me money. There is no Holy Grail, but your methods are consistently profitable and I just keep getting better over time.
Thank you again for your help and continued customer support.

"Here's to Simplicity..."
Ron & Valdi:
Just wanted to take a minute and thank you both for the efforts you have made in developing a curriculum that traders (both old and new) can implement with success into their own daily trading methodology.
Attending the 4 day seminar was the catalyst that I needed to firm up my own style and get into trading each and every day AND taking each "qualified" trade without fear or concern for the outcome.
Perhaps the most important thing I learned was: If I am sitting at my computer, TRADE. PERIOD. That and the concept of losses = overhead went a long way towards my turning the corner and taking the trades regardless of the most recent outcome.
It was a distinct pleasure to meet both of you, to see your methodology at work and to use those ideas to make mine work as well. Here's to simplicity, well placed trades, negating losses and letting winners work...Thanks again!

"Exceeded My Expectations..."
Dear Ron and Valdi,
I wanted to express to you my complete satisfaction with your recent workshop. As a matter of fact, it exceeded my expectations.
The instructional and trading environment was very comfortable and conducive to a training period that spanned four days. The presentation was extremely professional. The training materials were generally of excellent quality, and the software and live trading were icing on the cake. Even the lunches were great!
You have given me simple and effective trading and money management techniques. If I can temper these tools with discipline, optimism, and an effective trading psychology, my success will be ensured.

"To Novice Traders: Take This Course First..."
Dear Ron and Valdi,
I wanted to take the time and drop you this note in the hope that other traders will see this. Since taking your course in April, I have reviewed the course material and tapes several times.
Your methodology has given me a consistent and successful way to look at the market, but more importantly, your rules of money management make day trading a comfortable and enjoyable endeavor.
My wish to other novice traders is "Take this course first and master it, it gives you all that it promises".
Sincerely,

"The Improvement in My Trading Was Immediate"
Dear BreakThroughTrader,
It has been a little over a month since I received the material contained in your Home Study Course and I enthusiastically want to tell you what a tremendous success I have been enjoying position trading the equities markets for the last few weeks.
After four days study, the improvement in my trading and my confidence was immediate. I stress the improvement in my confidence because, through your simply and lucidly presented principals, I now know the reasoning behind your methodology and its applicability to virtually any tradable market!
I look forward to attending one of your live workshops to hone my skills for S&P day trading as soon as my schedule allows.
Warmest personal regards,

"They Do Not Make Unrealistic Claims"
"I rarely endorse any product or service unless I feel it has value. This one has value! I can tell you that I've had the pleasure of talking to Ron and Valdi who run the BTT workshops.
I believe them to be highly experienced traders who can probably add a great deal to your fund of knowledge about trading. What I like mostly about their work is that its sensible, well grounded in technical analysis and that they do not make unrealistic claims. Call them up.
Talk to them - see for yourself!"

"I Love This!"
Ron,
To answer your question about whether or not we like the methods and different tactics you are suggesting, well I can speak for myself - I Love This!!
I mean I am so relaxed today compared to how I can get sometimes trading. Even yesterday with the initial losses, the persistence paid off.
I don't know how you read the market yesterday (obviously years of trading) but I don't know if I would have continued to try the countertrend move. I likely would have given up on that and gone with the trend just when it started to countertrend. That would have been the worst thing I could have done.
The only thing that would have kept me from going short yesterday was the proximity of the *** and ***. It did feel like we were fighting the market all morning but again, it paid off. This live broadcast sure helps me.
The taking 1/2 off at 2-4 points (depending upon market action) and letting the other run with the tighter and tighter stops really is nice. I also really like the [entry technique]. This really allows a very small risk and as you said, the likelihood is that the trade should go our way right away and if it retraces above/below the [***], then the trade is not working.
Thanks again Ron
Steven T., Fenton, MI

"I Just Wish You Did It Every Two Weeks..."
The broadcast definitely bridges the gap [between the workshop and the home study course] for me having taken [only] the home study course. I just wish you did it every two weeks instead of every 4.

"After 20 Years - By Far the Best and Simplest System"
The material and instructions were excellent and your support has been excellent. I think your trading procedures and rules are excellent and if properly applied will make good money.
I know they will because I have made some good money when I concentrated on the system. I particularly like the simple approach and easy to follow instructions. Likewise I like the chart service which allows a person so see what he is doing right and wrong the next day.
It also proves it is not a pie in the sky system but something the producer will stand behind and continue to show you what the system will do with his chart follow up. Who could ask for more proof than that.
The next best thing you could do is actually handle the trades for us customers. I for one would seriously consider this on a 20% return to BTT. Just an idea !!
I have traded commodities off and on for twenty years and believe the BTT system is by far the best and simplest system I have tried to use and I do have a shelf full of systems, software, books and etc.

"I Have Easily Paid For the Course In a Few Trades"
Dear Ron and Valdi,
I would like thank you both for your fantastic course on day trading futures. As a professional who makes a living trading, I feel qualified to make a strong recommendation for your methods. The course was excellent preparation for developing a simple, effective trading methodology.
The course focused not only on correct entry/exit methods, but also on money management, psychology, trade execution and evaluation. These are all critical elements of becoming a good trader.
I attended the course in March, and continue to subscribe to the fax service as a check on my trading. I believe these faxes are insightful and provide an excellent review of the day's trades.
Most importantly, I use the methods taught in your course to trade on a daily basis and have easily paid for the course in a few trades. My trading has become more consistent, more profitable and less stressful as a result of your course.
Great job, guys.
Sincerely,
S.V., Los Angeles, CA

"I'm a Happy Customer..."
Dear Ron,
It's been 6 weeks since I received my home study course. After careful review of the material I must admit that everything falls right into place. The material is easy to apply, very clear and no ambiguities.
You have been extremely helpful in answering all my questions and returning my phone calls promptly. I've been paper-trading the setups for a month now, and went real-time last week. After 6 days of real time trading I am up over $1,000 per contract.
I'm still getting a feel for the method and made several mistakes during the last 6 days (all mistakes were my fault), but still managed to come out ahead. I've been trading for many years, and have also tried everything under the sun.
I truly believe, that the BTT method is a solid no nonsense method that gives the trader just enough discretion to keep trading comfortably but at the same time has guidelines that keep money management and entry rules clear.
I also trade equities on a slightly longer time frame and found the method to work just as well. I just closed a short for $530 profit that was held for 4 trading days. Further, I found the signals worked great when looking at historic charts on other stocks in my database.
As you can tell by this letter, I'm a happy customer who got what he bargained for. Further, I was impressed by the quality of service I received after the purchase. This demonstrated a level of profession I was impressed to see.
Once again thanks for everything. I can't wait to dome down and trade with both of you in real-time.
The BTT method has been a very positive step to profitable trading. The cost of the study course is nothing compared to the attention and material received.
Thanks,
Y.P. of Los Angeles

"I Am a Completely Different Trader"
Always been very pleased. I think you guys go above and beyond. I am a completely different trader since I started and I am glad I came to your course to learn.

"The Thing I Like Most Is the Simplicity"
"The thing I like about the methodology is the simplicity. I've often heard that trading is simple but not easy. It is simple because there are a lot of methodologies that work, but it is not always easy to follow them due to human emotion.
When I was trying to read the market with indicators, it was always easy to find a reason to not put on the trade (not everything lined up exactly right). Your methodology has forced me to be more disciplined because most of the time the trade is pretty clear and I am less likely to talk myself out of the trade.
I just put the order in and manage the trade if filled. Although I still make mistakes, each day it becomes a little easier and I can see myself evolving into the trader I want to be.

I Have Averaged 10-15 Points Per Day..."
Dear Ron and Valdi,
I feel so fortunate to have purchased your trading methodology. Like many traders, I have purchased countless systems and methodologies from all the known gurus and "winning system" developers only to lose money immediately. They all had some excuse but never any accountability as to why the system was losing money.
As you may remember, it was with great reluctance that I purchased your home study course. The approach is simply fantastic! It is very easy to learn and incorporate. I believe the signals to be a viable indication of the short-term future direction of the market. I also appreciate your conservative estimates of expected profits.
Other systems boast huge profits, but at the end of the year they are making excuses about the economy or Japan's recession, etc. Your approach benefits from the excuses others make.
My results have been well beyond my expectations. I have averaged 10-15 S&P points per day or an average of 50-75 points per week. My best day was 28 points but more importantly, my worst day was still profitable with 2 points.
Although I would like to take credit for these results, I cannot. I simply follow your rules on entry and exit and the profits take care of themselves. On an average day, I will have 7-12 trades with only a couple of losers on my most difficult days.
There have been many days when I have had no losers. Your approach teaches one to move the stops in fast, preventing any major losers. As you teach, the winners go my way immediately.
Most importantly, your support after the sale has been outstanding. You have demonstrated infinite patience with my questions. You have also assisted with areas of trading that are critical to success, but are not part of your course. Your commentary to winning trades only, which is unusual in this business.
I would highly recommend your approach to anyone who is serious about making trading a full time occupation

"One Losing Day in Three Weeks..."
I am pleased to be able to comment on your day-trading course I recently completed. I have a few years of trading experience and have taken a number of courses from individuals whose names are very well known in the industry.
Most of these courses have been priced at $5,000 or more, which would be fine if one could actually leave with a profitable trading approach. However, these systems are usually based on complex technical indicators and oscillators that by their nature are lagging the market and therefore require the trader to add a large dose of guesswork as to when to actually put on a trade.
Your course was the first I have experienced that taught easy, simple to understand and follow methods to actually "read the market" and let it tell you where it is probably going to go. I have only had one losing day in the three weeks since I completed your course and kept that to only a very small loss by following your trade and money management techniques.
I feel comfortable in recommending this course to anybody that wants to improve their trading and thanks again to you and Valdi for a clear presentation of a really simple yet powerful trading methodology that seems to get even more automatic every day I trade.

"Techniques Have Improved My Trading Considerably"
I just wanted to drop a note to thank you for your course. I have only been implementing your methods since the start of September 2000, but can truly say the techniques, both entry and exit, have improved my trading considerably.
I can't exactly retire on my profits thus far, but will say, that the confidence your techniques have provided for me will allow me to do so down the road. I believe I have a much better "feel" for the market that I have ever had with any of the multitudes of other systems on which I have wasted my money over the past several years.
Lastly, I would like to thank you for the time you both take to discuss questions that may come up occasionally. Most vendors will not give you a moment of their time once they have pocketed your dollars.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,

"I Am Averaging 5-6 Points..."
Dear Ron and Valdi,
I just wanted to write you guys and tell how much I enjoyed the meeting and how much I feel the program has helped me. One of the things that I feel that has been so helpful is the simplicity and yet the consistency that it affords you if you apply the basic rules.
My only problem is that I have traded for a number of years with minimal success and have developed bad habits and some are very hard to break. I have spent many thousands of dollars in search of the perfect black box system. Of course, it just doesn't exist.
However, with your methodology I truly feel that for the first time in a long time I am approaching my trading methodically and in right direction. I have traded live for about a week and every day has been a winning day.
The only trades that I have lost on are the trades where I revert to some of my old, bad habits. Were it not for them I would be up an average of 8-10 points per day.
As it is, I am averaging 5-6 points and that's with very high commissions. I am looking forward to increasing my number of contracts over the next several weeks.
Also, you guys have been really helpful and reachable whenever a question arises in regards to a trade or just a point that might need clarifying.
I would strongly recommend your methodology to anyone. Its simplicity is it's beauty and yet the importance of being with the trend cannot be overstated. Thanks again for your course and your follow up help.

"You Have Always Been Prompt To Respond"
Dear Ron and Valdi,
I ordered your Home Study Course in late 1999. As you know, my dad was dealing with prostate cancer, and so it was several weeks before I was able to make the time to look the material over and start applying your methodology.
I have been trading the S&P Emini since early 2000, and have found the Moving Average Methodology most suited to my personality. It is simple, easy to follow on the charts where you are basically buying/selling pullbacks to the series of moving averages always with the trend.
I average 64% profitable trades, Win : Loss Ratio = 2.20, Profit Factor = 3.91 trading one contract through LeoWeb. Along about mid-August, I evaluated using these averages on the Nasdaq Emini since August 21. For me, I get a bit more bang for my buck, so to speak, and unless on was trading electronically, you would have to use a longer time frame, maybe 8 minute bars or so. (I trade the 5 minute averages applied to 3 minute bars.)
That market really moves sometimes as you know. I have been very pleased with the program and the personal support, especially after the sale. Both you and Valdi have always been prompt to respond to my queries, and this is an important issue with me. I definitely did not feel abandoned after investing in your home study course. I will be present for the November 2000 session and am looking forward to meeting you both. Thanks again for all your assistance and see you soon.
All the best,

"Honey, This workshop Has Met Every Single One of My Expectations..."
Greetings, Ron and Valdi:
Just a note to thank you guys for your terrific Break Through Trader Day Trading Workshop. As you know, I had spent a lot of time reading your old articles trying to learn your method just from the articles.
Although I thought I had almost figured your techniques out, when I attended the workshop I learned that there was an awful lot of important information I hadn't learned, but which was necessary for success.
Ron, I am by nature a very skeptical person, especially when it comes to buying futures trading systems, methodologies, or attending workshops and seminars. There is just so very much junk out there.
On the third day of your seminar I called my wife at home and said, "Honey, this workshop has met every single one of my expectations. These guys are terrific! They know exactly what they are doing. And they have answered all my questions!"
I especially was impressed with the two full days of live trading. You explained the market action, told what you thought was happening, answered all our questions as we had them, and put on real trades in real time with us looking over your shoulder.
It can't get any more real than that!
Then, you even asked us at lunch whether we were happy with the workshop and whether we had any suggestions. The fact that no one had any suggestions for improvement shows that you met their expectations.
Ron, I feel like there was nothing more you could have done to make the seminar better except transplant your trading brain to my head. If that ever becomes possible, maybe you can add that to the training. Otherwise I will go home, install the software, monitor the fax, paper trade awhile, and put on some trades. I am as ready as anyone could hope to be.
Thanks again,

"Your Methodology Is the Only Way to Day Trade"
Dear Ron and Valdi:
Just a short note to thank you for your workshop in October. Your methodology is so simple and concise that I had to laugh at myself for the last two years of frustration in trying to pick tops and bottoms.
I am now convinced that your methodology and style is the only way to day trade. I took your advice and paper traded for a while and now I'm trading profitably on a consistent basis for the first time in my life and getting better every day.
I appreciated your honesty and candor as to your belief that $300 per day per contract is a more reasonable expectation that the $1,000 per day I hear from most vendors. Every day I improve on my ability to select the high probability trades and filter out the marginal ones.
I cannot thank you enough.
Best Regards,
C.T. Miami

"I Do Not Know Of a Better Course..."
The system is simple, concise yet very flexible. It is a short term swing methodology. It is not, however, purely mechanical. Some discretion and market interpretation is left to the trader.
I use this system exclusively on Day Trading. You can definitely make a living trading just this system on one or two commodities. ( I know little about securities, but I would think it would also work on a highly liquid stock.)
The manual is clear and well done. The video tapes are very reflective of the actual class. Learning the system is relatively easy with concentration and devotion. Learning to trade for a living requires screen time and concentration. If you want to "know yourself" this is a good track.
Ron and Valdi are sincere individuals whom will not desert you after a purchase. I do not know of a better course available to the novice (or experienced) trader. They have been through the system and have learned the lessons. I highly recommend the course.

"The Chart Service Is Most Impressive..."
Dear Valdi: After reviewing the manual, chart service pages, and most of the first tape, I have to say I am very impressed. Of all the work, studying, reading, charting, you name it, that I've done over the past three years, I have yet to see such a complete, common sense, simple course! If I don't generate profits close to what others claim, I would still be satisfied that I purchased an honest course in trading - not a pie in the sky system. The chart service is most impressive, as vendors usually abandon you once they teach their methods - there are so many days that I wish they would interpret their system in relation to the day I just had.
Once again, thank you for all of your phone assistance and I will keep you informed of my progress.
Sincerely,
F. S.

"I Learned So Much at The Workshop"
Valdi and Ron,
Just a quick note to once again say thank you! I learned so much at the workshop, came home and studied my workbook, and after receiving my tapes last Friday I'm really starting to feel comfortable with the concepts and methods you taught in the workshop.
The charts are coming through loud and clear and while studying them I get the feeling I'm back-testing with the added benefit or you insight.
Regards,

"I Only Regret I Waited So Long"
Hi Ron,
I received your course early yesterday morning, a day early. I have been through the videos and the manual for the first time. This is great stuff. I only regret I waited so long to get with you and Valdi.

"I Made 44 Points For the Day..."
Friday was the first day I actually sat and paper traded for the full day. I made 44 points for the day!!! Probably would have been better for me if it had been harder to do.

"The Best Investment in S&P Trading Development Available To The Public..."
Dear Ron and Valdi,
I'd like to thank both of you for sharing your methodology and an extremely well-produced workshop. The total of your presentation (personal instruction, manual, tapes) along with your fax service has given me command of an S&P methodology that I have confidence in.
In addition, I really appreciate your invaluable phone consultation follow-up. You guys have really shown me you sincerely care how your workshop attendees are performing in actual trading. Your level of involvement with John and me is extraordinary and meritorious.
I'm happy to report that John and I have turned the corner and are showing strong results. We found out (the hard way) how absolutely critical it is to follow the trade selection rules explicitly. Clearly they are well-researched and in place to eliminate lower-probability trades.
Unfortunately, we began by fudging a rule here and there, or actually making a trade unaware that we were violating a trade filter, and we paid the price.
Thank you for having the patience and sincerity to carefully review these mistakes with me, and get me trading by the rules. Gaining real command of the rules and filters has produced fabulous real trading results. I love it--- fewer trades, more winners, fewer losers, and the losers are getting smaller in dollar amount by following your exact instructions.
Let me close by affirming the wisdom of just patiently waiting for the trades that are crystal clear. I absolutely love eliminating trades now-why? Because now when I can't find a way to get rid of a trade, I have very good odds. It's been just these trades, the clearest set-ups, that are proving profitable.
Following the rules implicitly and utilizing the adjustments (as market conditions change) that you have given us since the workshop is putting money in my account.
Thank you both again and congratulations on your professionalism in providing the best package available. I have over 20 years of commodity trading experience and have had exposure so systems/methods ad nauseam, so I feel comfortable sharing my belief that your methodology and workshop is the best investment in S&P trading development available to the public.
Best wishes!
Sincerely,
Bob Lahodny

"Your Trade Plan Is Sound"
Ron and Valdi,
Thanks for a great workshop. I talked with (..) this a.m. after she spoke with you. I think she will come. Also, I posted a very positive message regarding the workshop to a list of 30+ S&P day-traders. You might get a few calls in the next few days.
I can't wait to get back to trading. I have a confidence about trading that I did not have a week ago. Your signals are going to get me in at similar places to where I had been, but the clear trade management rules are the key. Your trade plan is sound.
Thanks again!

"I Now Trade the S&P With Complete Confidence"
(A personal letter from a 17 year trading veteran.)
Hi Ron and Valdi:
I jus wanted to take a minute (long overdue) to congratulate you on your Day Trading Workshop program, and also the CE Program. It's truly remarkable.
I am a member of the New York Mercantile Exchange and have been trading commodities and stocks for over 17 years. I'm a pretty good trader (I'm still around and my accounts have never gotten blown out), and with a lot of homework, I can read prices of stocks and their moves pretty well.
Yeah, I make money swing-trading stocks, but I wanted to make money on a daily basis, too. Yep, day-trading. I've tried the S&P market, but with very little success. I have been trying to focus on just one style or method for day-trading. I just wasn't able to put together a solid plan, until now.
Given my background, I am VERY impressed with your trading program, including the workshop manual and videotapes. Like many traders, I've been to seminars, purchased books and have bought "systems" I thought would really benefit me as a trader. Nothing has compared to the information contained in your day-trading manual.
I'm having more success with your method than anything I've tried before. I now trade the S&P with complete confidence. I am actually gaining the discipline to wait for the setups because I know when they come, the odds are in my favor that it will be a winning trade.
After being through the mill with dozens of technical indicators and methods of day-trading, I felt you were offering just what I was looking for in a day-trading method. Your workshop teaches beginning traders as well as the experienced, how to day-trade the S&P market safely and profitably.
The workshop manual is not like other get rich quick methods. Many books and systems tout big profits that can be made in the market. Few offer a solid, easy and sensible plan.
Most novice traders who jump into the market anticipating big bucks crash and burn destroying their trading accounts and their self-esteem. I've witnessed this many times. Your system protects principal and teaches you to trade and trade profitably.
Whether you're a brand new trader who wants to form a firm foundation of knowledge you can build on, or a more experienced one who wants to brush up on fundamentals and get back to the profitable basics, the workshop will point anyone to the path of success.
The Maze Method alone is "amazing". You know I basically use the same methodology for swing trading stocks. But our Maze Method on the S&P takes it another step. Maybe two. Okay at least three steps further. Its aah-maaaaay-zing!
I truly believe that what you and Valdi teach is the very best methodology. Nothing that I have ever purchased compares to the information contained in your S&P 500 day-trading manual. It's like having a one on one personalized training course. I fell that you have captured the essence of what day-trading the S&P 500 market is all about.
In my opinion, this is the best material ever assembled for making money successfully and consistently in the S&P 500 market. I still view the video now and then to stay focused. The best part is I mostly trade just in the morning. Only 2 hours. How great is that!?
If I could say something to anyone interested in your course (like I haven't said enough), I would tell the beginners (who probably don't realize the pain they will avoid by following your plan) as well as the experienced (who will find your sensible approach very refreshing and profitable) the following:
"Whether you're a novice or advanced trader, you really owe it to yourself and would be foolish not to check out the BTT trading plan. Believe me when I say it's a solid plan that will give you the tools to trade profitably. You don't need continuing help and there's nothing else to buy.
But Ron and Valdi are an email or a phone call away. Ron even gave me his cell phone number! Point being, they are there for you. Down to earth regular guys with an excellent program to teach anyone how to "make money" day-trading the S&P market. I'm not an over excited beginner touting someone's plan because it gave me a temporary rush.
I've had their plan over a year now. And it still amazes me that the simple basic method enables me to automatically enter trades with a well-defined sensible protective stop. And usually within minutes, exit the trade with a profit. Very little "agita" (aggravating, stomach churning, lump-in-the-throat, nail biting anticipation) involved if any.
Ron and Valdi not only teach market fundamentals and basic technical analysis, they delve into the unique psychological characteristics needed to keep your cool and apply what you learned when you need to make a trading decision, something the day trader does every day.
They show you the skills and strategies needed to execute successful trades. They address money management techniques and reveal the basics of successful trading. Very simple, but very powerful stuff.
When I met Ron at the show in NYC two years ago, I thought he was too laid back to be a good trader (no offense Ron), as we New Yorkers are very fast paces and want to trade fifty times a day! After all, that's how you make money, right? Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Ron definitely has the right idea. Let trading give you the life style you want. Not the other way around. I was a slave to the computer just so I wouldn't miss a move. Very tiring and time consuming. I can really appreciate Ron's style of trading. It's relaxing, yet exciting, and the rewards are definitely there.
Ron once said to me. 'If you just want to make money, there is really no need to trade any other market.' He's right. Once a person gets past all of the hoop-a-la involved in day-trading stocks and realized it's tougher than it sounds, the BTT course is a refreshing cure, especially for the beginner looking to get started as well as the burned-out frustrated day-trader. Listen to its truths, follow its rules, and start today to truly become a sensible and profitable trader. I have.
The BreakThrough Trader method shows you how to trade the S&P market with savvy, intelligence and a well thought-out trading plan. The concise, no nonsense method covers everything needed to win consistently.
Beyond the psychology and self-discipline, every trader must master for success, it covers the technical analysis skills needed to uncover and act on profit opportunities.
The Continuing Education days are also exceptional. The main reason is that you get to hear Ron's thinking on every trade. What goes through hi mind before, during and after the trade is executed. Most of all you will learn why you need to have patience.
A little patience can make you a whole lot of money. And more importantly, save you money. Ron's patience and marked feel is something you just have to see. I congratulate him, because I know how tough having patience and discipline really is.
And learning to have those two things in my trading day is worth many times the cost of his workshop. I mean it's really, really, important.
I know this is a little long, and it may seem like I'm doing a paid advertisement for them. But I'm not. If anyone is seriously thinking of trading the S&P 500, they must be prepared and armed with the very best methodology and trading tools. They are up against professionals.
If you try to learn on your own or trade without a solid plan then I can guarantee you this. It will be the most expensive "learning period" you can ever imagine. I'm just an every day trader like you. And, like Ron, I like to help other traders when I can.
Thanks Ron and Valdi for providing me with the tools, knowledge and support for trading the fascinating S&P 500 market.

"It Is Exactly As You Have Described In Your Ads"
Hello Ron and Valdi
I have just finished my 2nd reading of the homestudy course and can honestly say that it is exactly as you have described it in your adverts, in that it is easy to understand and with good discipline, simple to execute the signals.
In fact using the MAZe method, I am doing something automatically, something that I previously thought only the best could do, and that is selling into strength and buying into weakness. Many thanks once again.
Kind Regards

"You Guys are Very Honest"
The ongoing support from your course is helpful. It is very educational for me to mark my charts and then then compare them with the ones I
receive from you.
You have a winning methodology and you guys are very honest and don't seem to hold anything back.

"Thank You For Keeping My Dream Alive"
Valdi,
This program is the first of its kind (after paying thousands of dollars for black box systems and three seminars) that is direct, to the point, regarding how, when, and why to place trades or just stay out.
After four years and thousand of hours of research on how to trade and my own development of various trading systems. I can honestly say, that when I gave up my secure federal agents position to become a trader ( I have always wanted to be a futures trader) I didn't know if I would be able to be profitable before my savings ran out.
My savings account will be exhausted by the end of April (this year). Thank you for keeping my dream alive and for turning my mixed trading success into a wonderful occupation.
It is nice not to spend 16 hours a day in my home trading office, anymore. My wife can not believe I have a life outside my trading office.
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to help a few of us who really want to learn how to trade because it lies within our hearts...
Sincerely,
Daniel Webster

"I Was Able to Capture 6.25 Pts. for the 2 Days"
Just a quick note. I had a couple of days off this past wed. and thurs. so I was able to day-trade. I was able to capture 6.25 pts. for the 2 days I traded. I figured if I broke even I was o.k. being the first time I day traded. Needless to say, I was very happy.
Thanks.

"Your Analysis of the Market is Tremendous"
Hi Ron,
Today's broadcast helped me view the importance of moving the stops closer to cut risk. I got into a bad habit of maintaining these stops a bit too far, and as a result accumulated loses that I could have avoided.
Your analysis of the market is tremendous and provides great guidance. Thanks and keep it up.

"Thank You Again for a Great Couse!"
Hi Ron and Valdi,
I was able to join you today for the broadcast. Valdi, it turns out I had a bad cable that's why I couldn't join you yesterday, Damn, I missed a great day. Thanks again for your e-mails and help. I only made 4 points total yesterday, not complaining mind you.
Today was great to learn the wait and see, like you said "didn't make much but most important didn't lose any".
Trading along with you is great because you get to hear what your thoughts are and why you're not interested in a trade, (so calm and relaxed, I hope I get like that).
Please keep me on your e-mail list for anything new, I'd also like to come down for a workshop sometime soon.
Thank You again for a great course!

"Today's Broadcast Was Absolutely Amazing"
Dear Ron and Valdi,
Today's broadcast was absolutely amazing, I learned a lot. It was very enjoyable and I also made some money trading with you. You should do it more than 2 days a month, it will keep all the students close and will give us the opportunity to trade and make some money and assimilate the guidelines of your course.
Thank you very much,
Rona, Israel

"I Now See the Market From a Totally Different View"
Valdi,
Thank you for your kind words. I believe what separates good traders from marginal traders is the level of dedication & commitment to their profession.
My ability as a trader to apply entry and exit procedures based on current and past market conditions has significantly improved since April's seminar.
I now see the market from a totally different view point. To do this, is simple: have a little common sense, look at where prices have made tops, bottoms, and consolidations, and combine that with entry & exit procedures and your ready to trade.
The program that you and Ron, teach is so well structured on how & when to get in, how long to stay in when no follow through occurs, and when to get out, that I enjoy talking to others about it.
I'm in this business to stay and it's nice to meet other traders. Looking forward to seeing you in Chicago. Sounds like were getting ready for a shootout at the OK Corral, ha!

"...How Effective the Method Continues to Be"
The presentation in your workshop was very clear. It covered the materials and concepts and then applied them in real-time. I was glad to see you apply the trades to the bonds as well. Nice to have an alternative to look at.
I would recommend the BreakThrough Trader workshop to others and I would mention how effective the method continues to be and how helpful the real-time exposure is for understanding and applying it.
Again, I thoroughly enjoyed the Chicago workshop and look forward to you returning here in the next year or so. I enjoyed meeting all of the other students. It was a very relaxed, educational three days.
Thanks again Ron and Valdi!!

"I Average About Three Points a Day"
Hey, Valdi.
I've been faithfully following the market (e-mini) and test trading. I'm gaining some confidence in my ability to identify good entry points using your system. Over the past two weeks I've taken about three trades a day on average.
About two of three of those have been profitable. I average about three points a day. I make some dumb mistakes, but try to analyze where my mistake was made.
Your system is really helpful. I've been getting out of trades too soon and I'm trying to identify good exit points. I'm not good at all at that. I think if I could exit more effectively my average profit would improve.
Thanks.

"My Whole Trading is More Structured"
Gidday Ron and Valdi
Hope this email reaches you both in fine fettle. I have spent three months now with the package and now wish to get onto the chart service.
I have been trading the Sydney Futures Exchange using the BTT methodology. Mostly I use the MAZE and trendlines alongside my other techniques.
Ron, I wasn't able to get a good contact for trading the indexes in Germany with a view to running one of your courses there. My cousin that trades actually trades coffee which he buys from Ethiopia and sells into Europe - kind of different to what we are doing.
It certainly was worthwhile attending your course. My whole trading is more structured and my entries and exits are more sound. I still have a way to go but I'm getting there faster.

"I Feel That I Learn Something Each Broadcast"
Hi Ron & Valdi
The broadcast was, as always, just wonderful. I feel that I learn something each time.
The member's area of your website is working great for me. It makes it much more convenient to review recent activity of the prior days.
The best part is the audio file. It's really neat... I usually come back and listen to them a second or third time.
Have a great day!

"You Do the Best Work I've Ever Seen"
Ron and Valdi,
I like the live broadcast; it helps me gain the confidence to "pull the trigger" especially if we make some money at it. I know it shouldn't matter, but success builds confidence. I learn a lot from the daily fax. You do the best work I've ever seen; keep it going!

"It is a Reflection of the Integrity You Possess"
Ron and Valdi,
Thank you for allowing me to tune in for the June Squawk. I realize you did not have to do this, but certainly appreciate it and it is a reflection of the integrity you two possess, a rare commodity in this business.
Your record on Squawk is very impressive. I have great respect for you even being able to trade with a load of ears tuning in to your every trade and strategy. I know I could not do it personally. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to next week.

"You Trade With Patience"
Ron,
The broadcast was good; good for me. It seems that you have developed much patience. This was good for me to see this, to hear what you were thinking as the days developed. I can probably safely say that I am not to that point yet but it was good to see your responses to what was happening; good model to work toward.
Thanks,

"Your Approach is Very Sound"
Dear Sirs,
Just to let you know that the package, with the video "Window to our Workshop" arrived yesterday.
I have been aware of yourselves for some years and imagined that your approach must be something like the video describes. However, I was reluctant to spend the money to examine it closely until I could have a better and more detailed idea of what was involved.
Also, I tried to turn myself into a trader about ten years ago (International Futures market) but desisted when I realized that I had both a psychological hang-up - that I dislike losing - and an opportunity cost - that I was making more money as an executive than it would be reasonable to expect from trading on the sort of capital base I then had.
From watching the tape I came to the conclusion that your approach is very sound and also takes into account the psychological side.
Best Regards,
David Davies

"6 Points in About 5 Minutes"
Valdi,
I traded the S&P twice this week, using the spreadbetting co. here on a take of £10 per point ( about $15)- and managed to pull just under 6 pts each time from the trades (Tax free !!)
The second trade was a short yesterday morning where I had the 6 points in about 5 minutes and took it - BUT the market carried down lower, and if I had waited another 10/15 min, I would have had over 10 points ! ( hindsight, ha !?!)-
Much appreciated
