Q: "I'm a total beginner, and I'd like to take plenty of time to absorb your course - for how long will you support my learning?"

A: I provide unlimited access to my email Mentoring Service for every month you remain a subscriber, and of course access to my online WICS newsletter, together with regular video updates of what I'm currently analysing.
Within the Mentoring Service, I'll happily help you analyse any particular chart that you might be interested in, as well as answering ANY question connected with trading. I believe that current students would agree it's a more than satisfactory service- check out the 'Client Comments' page.

Q:"I know you recommend the Sharescope charting package to support your course. Why that particular one?"

A: For UK based traders, I believe it provides by far the best value.You can get a free demonstration CD at www.sharescope.co.uk, or by phoning 0800 052 15 15 and mentioning 'TTEW'. Doing so will entitle you to TWO MONTHS' FREE subscription to Sharesope Gold. Alternatively, you can start things off for free by using charts provided by the Financial Times on www.ft.com, but if you are serious about financial trading, you will need a charting package in due course.

Q: "I want to trade the USA market - can you suggest a charting package to cover American stocks?"

A: I find that www.bigcharts.com is extremely useful.

Q: "How about Australia?"

Q:"In your course, you make frequent reference to 'Market Makers'. Can you tell me exactly who they are? They appear to be very influential."

A: You can read the precise legal definition of the term 'Market Maker' at http://www.investorwords.com/2977/market_maker.html, and another here: 'Definition of a Market Maker'
Yes, they are indeed influential in the market environment.

Q:"In the course, you go into a lot of detail about 'Money Management'. Why is that so important? - Surely, if you see a 'winner' you should jump on board! You seem overly cautious to me."

A:How do you know in advance that it's going to be a winner? Please re-read that section of the course, and email me if you are still uncertain, because otherwise, you may not be around long as a trader!

Q: "I'm already a trader, and I find that I always tend to take a small profit when one is available. Then inevitably the market keeps going in my favour and I kick myself for not having had the conviction to remain in the trade. Can your course help with this?"

A: Absolutely. It's a major challenge for many traders, and I have an EASY way to overcome it. (Though you'll probably need to use the Mentoring Service a few times till you become comfortable with MY way of dealing with this.)

Q: "Do you email students when you see a great trading opportunity?"

A: No, this is NOT a 'Tipster' service. The Trading the Easy Way course is about guiding YOU towards YOUR trading decisions, with my ongoing assistance. As you become familiar with my methodology, you'll more and more be able to accurately interpret the WICS charts for yourself. (And all the others that you'll find from your OWN research.) MY 'Mission Statement', if you like, is to help YOU become a self confident, self reliant trader, so that if I get run down by a crazy snowboarder, you won't miss me!

Q:"I've been surfing the Net and I see there are ebooks that seem to offer courses in financial trading. They cost much less than what you are charging - how do I know you offer value for money?"

A:Check out my answer to the first question, and then go to the 'Client Comments' page. I think it would be fair to suggest that Trading the Easy Way delivers on its promises. Ultimately of course it's for YOU to decide whether or not to enrol - I wish you well, whatever decision you arrive at.

Q: "I'm not too good at absorbing stuff from books. Should I attend one of your seminars instead?"

A: I could say 'Yes' and grab your cash! In truth, however, the answer is somewhat more complex. For example, if you are planning to commit, let's say £2500 to your trading venture, then DON'T spend the majority of it on a seminar! However much the seminar might benefit your knowledge and confidence, you wouldn't be left with enough capital to very rapidly recoup your costs, and psychologically, you'd be very prone to 'overtrade'. Trust me - I know!
If your budget is larger and you genuinely believe that the written material will help YOU less well than 'face to face', then fine - a seminar place might be the answer - but since any purchase of the course is refundable against the seminar cost, why not start with that? You might be pleasantly surprised by how EASY it is to take in! If you want to discuss one on one tutoring, don't hesitate to email me. Please note however that no more seminars are meantime planned - I have produced a 6 CD ROM set to replace these.

Q "Am I correct in thinking you suggest a need to see high volume before entering a trade?"

No, if you re-read that section of the course, you'll find that I am suggesting that changes in volume are merely one of the several indications I am looking for, to validate a trade. Volume on its own is not the issue. For example, you might see a big increase in volume, but hardly any price movement. All that probably signifies, is that lots of people decided to sell, perhaps to take profits, but an equal number believed the price being asked was cheap enough for them to be willing to buy, hence the buyers absorbed the sellers' orders. Clearly, in such a case, it may well be that the price itself will subsequently rise, but the 'volume' part of that story has little meaning. Conversely, you might see a big price move on very little volume, which could mean a bit of chicanery by the marketmakers, trying to tempt people either to buy or sell, depending on what other factors might be present. So don't get too 'hung up' on volume issues per se- they are just part of the overall picture.

Q "What about Directors' Dealings?"

The same comment applies as for 'Volume'. They are only a part of the story, and their role is to validate certain positions I might be considering. Recent Director sales/purchases do NOT need to be present for me to order a trade if the other indicators that I use warrant doing so. This is covered in more detail (as are most of these questions) in the 'WICS Archive'
