Emerging From the Other Side of the Hurricane

​There Was No Place to Hide From ​This One!

​​We Survived, but, very little else did . . .

​​After a life-threatening evening of terror from the Category 5 hurricane named "Maria", we awoke to find our island Paradise had been converted into a debris field of thousands (yes, THOUSANDS!) of toppled power poles, uprooted trees and damaged  buildings. My residence was no exception and, I'm writing this post now from a new temporary apartment location that has restored power and internet service. 

The status for our island at present is:

  1. no power in most locations, and, none promised for months yet.
  2. no water service,
  3. no commercial air flights,
  4. no internet services for the most part and
  5. spotty/disrupted cell-phone services as well.
  6. roadways blocked with downed power lines and trees

​I'll be spending the coming weeks trying to reestablish business operations from my new location as power is not expected to be restored for months at my other residence.

​I ask patience from those who e-mailed me since the hurricane. I'm trying to get caught up. Technical questions will take a little longer to address for obvious reasons.

I'll try to put up some market observations in the coming days or weeks.

Thank you for your continued support & good wishes. - George

. . . They Pull You Back In!"

​Yet Another Hurricane ('Maria'), Coming Our Way!

​Someone has hit the 'Replay' button to the 'Hurricane Game' and, we're facing another furious storm threat here on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands within the next day (or two at most).

​We were miraculously spared the devastation of the Cat 5 Storm called IRMA and this allowed St. Croix to act as a staging area to provide food, shelter and aid to our Caribbean neighbors including our Sister Islands of St. Thomas and St. John which were greatly damaged by IRMA.

We need your good wishes and positive thoughts so we can continue to be in a position to extend help to those who need it in our area. It just wouldn't do to have us incapacitated too!

​As a side note, any orders received today or tomorrow will likely be delayed in response from my end as we're sure to have electrical blackouts and shipping slowdowns during the time the storm passes by here. - George

Critical Dollar Support Point . . .

​Watch This Support Price Area!

​The ​US Dollar is at a critical support price point.

Th​e way to 'bet' is generally to buy when in a sideways trading zone like the Dollar has been in for the last few years. This being such a long-period sideways trading area, there is usually a good deal of purchasing power at points like we're at right now.

Keep in mind we're looking at a Monthly Chart here, so, just a quick price excursion below 91.500 won't be enough to trigger a lasting downtrend. It will take several days of Closes below this price to confirm a weakness which is strong enough to break into a lasting downtrend.

​However, we're in a '7th' Year Cycle for the US Dollar, and, these have strong tendencies to become crashing market periods. So, we have to carefully watch prices when they approach important pivot points to make sure they don't give us a trigger signal that they're going to take the market lower still. Clients, use your trading and tracking tools at this time. The Trend for the US Dollar is important and drives many markets and currencies worldwide. - George

To See What Others Cannot . . .

​You Must Change Your Perspective!

​The View of the Crowd is just that . . . 'their' view.

That common viewpoint forms up the so-called 'consensus' view of what 'reality' is for a market at any particular point in time. Essentially, the majority of market participants (and, a large group of manipulators) get to vote on what's happening and what's 'real' in any particular market. But, . . .

​What's Really Happening Out There?

To be able to discern what the masses cannot, we have to remove ourselves from the charts, time-frames and techniques of the everyday investors. Otherwise, how can we come to an objective conclusion unless we 'change our perspective' and take in the longer-view to form our conclusions?

 This is ​equivalent to looking ​far down the railroad tracks to see if a train is coming or not! We can do the same with charts.

The First Step: Get A Longer Time Perspective.

​The first way we can accomplish this is to change the time frame for the price charts we're looking at. If you're an intra-day trader working the 5-minute bars, you have far too much company doing exactly the same thing. You should, instead, consider pulling outwards in Time to, at least, the Hourly level bar or candlestick charts. 3-Hours would be even better.

Plot the charts at these new and longer-time frames and step back to observe what can be seen.

As you can see with the above 5-minute vs. the 3-hour charts, the 3-hour chart gives one important information that is just not obtainable from the 5-minute perspective of the market.​

This new time perspective will place you in a different place of judgment from the place that your trading competitors are making their decisions from. This is the first step in your process of discovery.

The Second Step: Use Unique Trading Techniques.

Your Next Step is to use non-conventional and unique chart analysis techniques (like those exclusive trading methods provided to our Clients).

Just as one should look at different charts than most traders do, one should analyze these charts using tools that the masses will never have access to. Successful techniques that are unknown except to a very specific and exclusive Group; a Group who have put in the effort in Time & Money to become successful at levels above and beyond those of other average traders.

The Final Step: Use Risk-Management Techniques.

Apply Risk Management to each trade one decides on and you'll have the 3-Critical Keys to finding profitable markets and exceptional trading opportunities.

I've written extensively on this topic over the years on this site and others. This is the critical common element to ALL trading successes. Do Not Let Losses Run. Take your losses earlier, not later. They never grow smaller if you need them to! You Must Manage Risk for every trade.

​Individual Courses Will Soon Become Unavailable

In order to provide a more complete trading method selection experience, I'll be consolidating most of the individual Courses over the coming weeks into Specific Application Collections (for example: A 'Simple System Secrets Collection', 'Intra-day Trader's Collection', 'Inner Secrets Collection' (Master Course), 'Complete Writings Collection', etc..).

Once this is finalized, no further individual Courses will be sold; they'll only be sold as part of an appropriate Collection or Set. This means that prices will rise considerably, thereby limiting access to these methods even more in the months or years ahead. However, as these Courses are targeted towards Professional Traders and Qualified Investors, then, this should not prove a difficulty for these groups.

Please don't e-mail me for details on the Collections as they're not finalized as yet. I'll post to this website when more details are available.

These will be the final days to purchase the separate trading Courses as, once the Collections are set up, all individual courses sales will cease.  - George

It Was Close, But, We’ve Survived The Monster Hurricane O.K.

​First, let me express my gratitude to the readers and clients who sent me e-mails of concern and well-wishes preceding our encounter with this Category 5 monster Hurricane. Your thoughts and concerns were and are very much appreciated.

Thank you all so much.

We were most fortunate to have been spared major damage and to have our power and internet restored within a day, (if intermittently for the present). 

Our thoughts and concerns rest presently with our neighboring Caribbean Islanders who have suffered great losses and also for those still in the path of this destructive storm in the days immediately ahead. 

Lessons to be Drawn from this Experience

Having spent many decades slowly extracting the Laws of Nature that are at the bedrock of the Markets, it's particularly impressive when Mother Nature herself brings the lessons right to one's doorstep.

Such was the case with the monster Hurricane named IRMA which came as close to us as possible without wiping us off the island like it did to so many others in St. Thomas, Barbuda, Anguilla, Tortola, St. John and more.

The lesson of the fragility of our physical world has been driven home these last few days. Many more are about to learn that lesson as well it seems if this storm continues on it's course to the US Mainland. I was 'invited' by Mother Nature to give some deep thought to just what I may have to sacrifice and what little I could carry should evacuation become necessary. It's became a very sober and Human Moment of Contemplation of what is truly important.

What's truly valuable and what's not? Decades worth of Research notes, charts and courses? Important, yes, but, Life & Health wins out the argument as primary in importance every time. Fortunately, this time, no sacrifice was necessary for  the sake of survival. But, it gives one pause over what could have been lost.

My main goal for my courses has been to gradually ​introduce Principles; Laws of Nature and Mathematics that apply to the Natural World as well as the Market World. It's been my intent that these Principles be learned, absorbed or understood at the most fundamental level so that a trader or investor could stand on their own where ever they found themselves and know that their skill was intact and as portable as they were. I want to pass this knowledge on to the next generation, two or three. I've been fortunate in that most of the Course Knowledge has found it's way into the hands of a few good folks scattered very thinly around the World.

Knowledge which has been well-absorbed and internalized is all we can carry with us under some extreme conditions. This very same piece of Wisdom was immortalized in Ancient days and expressed within the Latin phrase 'Omnia mea mecum porto' (All that's mine, I carry with me.).

I hope that, you also, give this phrase some thought and gain appreciation for the skills you have and the relationships you hold dear. In the end, the material things dim before these greater things.

Thank you again for your support and well-wishes. I hope to reply to all e-mails in the next day or so. - George
