Hi Sandy, 

I bought the dream of making millions at day trading. Spending hours in front of a computer chain smoking seemed a small price to pay for that new Ferrari. Reality was different! 

Dozens of books later and subscriptions to trading magazines left me in confusion. I decided as a "rookie" trader the only way I was going to get my foot in the door was to pay for a course. 

I attended every free seminar I could, and what a motley crew I met. Many I would rather cross over the road to avoid, and the fees they proposed to charge would buy a family car. Then I met you at a recent presentation you made on behalf of Finspreads. You were teaching, not selling, and demonstrated a commitment to it. What a refreshing change! I immediately signed up for your workshop. 

This is the best move I have made so far. By way of testimony let me relate a fellow students experience. He told the class he was attending because he was making losing trades. Over coffee he told me he had spent £5000,with an 'expert' who advertises extensively in the press! 

Well Sandy lets keep in touch.

Until then 'Be Lucky'.

Hello Sandy 

Many thanks for the excellent and very interesting workshop last Saturday. It was a real eye-opener and once you get comfortable with some of the basics you do start to see things jumping out from the charts. 

I'm really looking forward to getting some chart software put onto my laptop, as I spend a fair amount of time travelling, and getting stuck in. I will keep you posted on my progress. 

As you may remember I have been a trainer in another field for over twelve years and I was really impressed by your 'style' of training and your desire to make sure that people understood the basics. I'm sure that a lot of trainers could have taken the same topics and sent everyone to sleep within ten minutes! 

Thanks again for the day, it was excellent value for money. I look forward to keeping in touch and receiving your newsletters.

Best wishes

Dear Sandy,

Just a short note of appreciation for all that you taught me on last Saturday's SignalPro - Private Traders Workshop. The venue and class size was perfect.  I am truly delighted with all the information you provided. 

Not only information on predicting market movements but when to enter and exit the markets. 

Plus, the need to be patient. (Very important for someone like me who tends to be impatient) Your Fibonacci adaptation to charting is absolutely amazing. 

I have spent the best part of today applying it to some historic charts with astonishing results. Now all I have to do is practise, practise, practise, before getting into the markets. 

Thanks again for your time and patience.

Regards,

Hi Sandy, 

Thank you so much for teaching us your trading methodology yesterday.

It was truly everything I was looking for and I now have real confidence to take this system out into the real world and apply it myself. 

I found out about your course through your "Tips from the Top" articles on the Finspreads website.  I thought what you said in those articles made real sense and I wanted to know more about Trading Plans, Risk/Reward and Entry and Exit points.  You provided all this for me and more.  I was inspired to take your course by your article "What do you need to get started in trading?" in which you talk about needing the right tools for trading.  On Saturday morning I did not have these tools, it is now Sunday and I firmly believe that I have and that is all thanks to you. 

Before I attended the course I spoke to you on the phone about whether this was the right course for me, this for one shows that you really care about your students and you also told me to read the book "Market Wizards" by Jack D. Schwager.  I duly did and what I learned was that whenever they mentioned the mistakes of a novice trader it was me they were talking about and I was only eight when it was written.  Everybody before they start trading should read that book and then everyone should take your course.  This is the first course I have taken like this and right now I think it will be the last because what else do I need to know?  I thought before the course that I was taking a risk attending but there was just no risk involved.  It is now up to me to earn the rewards. 

I did not want to say that this system is easy (even though you and I know that it is) because if you don't attend the course with an open mind and forget about what you have been taught or read before then the system will not work for you because your judgement will be clouded and you will struggle to believe what the methodology is telling you. 

Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 

Kind regards,

Sandy Jadeja's one day course taught us a few related strategies based on Fibonacci. 

Although we were clearly not a bunch of mathematicians, after familiarising ourselves with the techniques, I think we will all find this approach far less complicated than having to  study Company Reports, Market forces, MACDs. support, resistance, and endless types of charts etc.etc.  

The size of the group (about 24) enabled us to ask questions, and feel that we were treated as individuals.  If I ever make a fortune from trading, I think it will be from using this method.

Dear Sandy, 

Thank you for taking us through the simple but powerful method of trading using Price movements.  Before the course I kept wondering what you meant by trading with price movement ONLY without indicators and at the end of the day I was not at all disappointed.  I feel I now have all it takes to start trading successfully with confidence as I master the techniques over the next few weeks. 

Once again, thank you for introducing me to a new world of trading. 

Kind regards,

Hi Sandy,

Just a quick note to thank you for the outstanding course on Saturday.  I am grateful and really appreciated your frankness and direct communication style, meaning no time was wasted.

Although the techniques taught were simple on their own, (my 12 year old son has just been studying Fibonacci at his very expensive school) the combination and key pointers you gave I believe make the combined package a very powerful trading strategy. My advice to future students on your course is that is it critical that you make your own full and comprehensive notes. Then after the course, work back through the book, and your notes in your own time.

Being a typical cynical "Brit" I spent yesterday back testing some of the concepts and on the correct chart (thanks for the 421 example stock codes included in the CD!) they are unbelievably accurate. During the course I felt quite frustrated at the lack of properly worked crystal clear "models" but when you work through an example afterwards on your own it re-enforces the whole days learning experience.

I have been investing using TA for 3 years now. I believe as a trader you should continually seek to improve yourself by making an investment in training and therefore improving and learning new strategies. I am so very pleased that I took time out to go along to the Finspreads afternoon session where I first met you.

You may have heard the saying "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life" If I can make these techniques work in the market I believe you may have fed my family and I for life. During the day you talked about a guy that came on your course this time last year and turned 2 k into 58k. I look forward to becoming your next example of a run away success in next December's course!!

Thanks again.
Best wishes

Sandy Hi, 

Thank you very much for the excellent seminar on Saturday. It was truly fantastic.

It's clearly a eye opener for me. All these time I was kept away from trading because of technical jargons and myths of loosing money. As promised, you kept the whole concept very simple! And you gave a good attention to every body, answered all the questions and made sure we all understand the concept of your strategy. 

As a beginner, I find this course was very intensive. Despite your best efforts I misunderstood or missed certain bits of information (Time frames & Exit strategy). As you mentioned it will all become apparent when I put these into practice. 

I have opened a account with Finspreads, and joined their trading academy to understand some trading fundamentals. I understand the importance to have a trading plan and will spend my next few weeks on it. I am looking forward to consolidating what I have learnt this week end. 

Thanks again for giving me the direction and confidence to trade successfully and risk free!! 

I look forward to seeing you again at some stage and will update you my progress. 

Kind Regards

Dear Sandy,

Firstly you may not have known that I have a teaching background as a flying instructor before becoming an airline pilot.

This explains the style of my feedback below. Apologies if it feels a bit impersonal. 

My expectations from the course were high. After meeting you at the free Finspreads seminar I felt comfortable that I would probably benefit from your course. This was because you mentioned that your methodology used Fibonacci pricing. Of all the systems I like the most it is Fibonacci. An encouraging start. Then I sensed that although you said everyone’s personalities were different and many simply would not like your system, I am one of the rest who definitely relates to your personality. This was the process that led me to book your workshop. 

When I turned up I was pleased to see the class size at 22, although I would not have wanted to see it any bigger. I was also happy to hear you state near the beginning that if any of us were not happy potentially to lose more trades than win but be net up then this course was not for us. You rightly established correct psychology as being vital from the start. 

Moving onto the meat of the course, your clarity of explanation was excellent. The step by step build-up was well paced. The exercises were beneficial and important to help reinforce the mechanics. I'm not sure that you gave a complete answer to the class as a whole for exercise 3. I got the feeling some had not correctly worked out the four levels and you moved on without a complete explanation or rather did not give sufficient time to ensure everyone was up to speed. Please correct me if I am wrong.

 The killer line you delivered about the price relationship to the Fib levels turned on some lights in the room! The only criticism was that through no fault of your own we got behind for whatever reason and I felt that the latter stages of the course got rushed. This should have been the time for real consolidation of the system with more complete exercises.

 Notwithstanding the points above, I rate your course as excellent for it's simplicity and clarity. Your inclusion of money management and RRR as essential to the trade decision making process completed the picture nicely and gave a clear process that needs to be strictly followed in order to succeed. 

Your frankness is essential and you should not apologise for it. Lunch was great and your tea breaks timely. I would recommend the course to anyone provided they were prepared to ignore all other tools at their disposal and be prepared to follow your system exclusively. Pretty obvious really but because of its simplicity I can see how there might be a temptation to try to improve it. 

Over the weekend I made use of the charts near the back of the manual to give me some practise examples to work with and try to develop the calculating drill and pattern recognition. I am confident that to get up to full speed will just take more practise and time (I am comparing myself to YOUR speed here as the benchmark). 

Many thanks for your time at the weekend. Your course was a real tonic. It has given me renewed focus to tackle the markets in a different way and I am of course determined to make the most of it. 

Best regards,

Joe Anthony

Dear Sandy,

Thank you for the excellent course yesterday. I have been on a number of others, but have to say yours was the best thought out and well presented of all of them. The way that you unfolded what we had to learn, whilst encouraging us to identify what we needed to think about was a powerful way of teaching a methodology, which I am sure will stay with people long after the course.

I am looking forward to consolidating what I have learnt yesterday, over the next week – the advanced patterns, for me, will need a bit more work, likewise a couple of other bits. The training notes will enable me to understand what I need to learn and I am pleased to know that I can contact you via email if I get really stuck.

I have come away from the seminar understanding what I need to do to progress with this methodology and how I am going to implement it. Other seminars, which I have been on, have left me floundering in an ocean of information, which could not be traded unless a considerable amount of time was spent developing a methodology.

You present your course in a clear, professional and confident manner. You come across as being credible and honest. I was pleased that you spent time towards the end going through theoretical trades that demonstrated that losses are part of a trader’s life, and that you showed persistence will win out. Other courses conveniently show trades (if they show any) that are textbook trades and perfect winners. You showed us the reality of trading your methodology which means that we learn to trade from a balanced perspective, without unrealistic expectations.

I look forward to seeing you again at some stage and will let you know how I have progressed in due course.

Kind regards,

Phillip Dixon

Dear Sandy,

Thank you very much for putting on the Private Traders Workshop.

I had been looking forward to the course for weeks and I was very excited in being able to spend whole day learning from you. I was not disappointed. The venue was excellent and so was the administration before, during and after the day.

One of the many good things about you is that you deliver exactly what you say you will.

The course was extremely well thought out and delivered enabling the concepts to be grasped with a reasonable amount of effort. I have reviewed the course notes over the weekend and they are excellent.

As a professional chartered accountant I have to attend quite a lot of courses to keep up to date. The cost of these is not cheap. I believe your course offers outstanding value for money.

Thanks to you I now feel as if I can adopt a much more professional approach to my trading including being able to identify low risk trading opportunities with target profits defined in advance. Thanks once again and I very much hope we can keep in touch.

Best wishes,

Sandy,

I wanted to write to you to express my thanks, for the excellent and very comprehensive course you ran last weekend.

I enjoyed the day very much and genuinely feel that it exceeded my expectations, in that I came away with an essentially simple but powerful methodology which is self-contained, reasonably easy to comprehend and applicable in all market conditions.

I felt that you clearly put a great deal of thought and effort into this course and the underlying trading strategy and it is clear that you do actively major on this system yourself which is very re-assuring. I have attended financial trading courses before but have always struggled to develop a coherent trading method from them --- not this time!

I shall spend time now absorbing the training materials and experiment during November with the method on a range of commodities with a view to live trading from December.

Once again, thanks for all your considerable effort and candour which has given me more confidence to proceed .

Kind regards

Dear Sandy

Just a quick email to follow up on yesterday's (October 30th 2004) trading workshop. I had been looking forward to attending the workshop since meeting you at the Finspreads seminar earlier this month. I can certainly say that I was not disappointed with the experience.

As a novice trader, I had become convinced that the key to successful trading lay in using multiple indicators. You have completely changed that perception. The beauty of your method is its simplicity. It has changed forever the way I will look at charts - previously I had not been able to see the wood for the trees ! I had encountered the concept of Fibonacci numbers before but had been somewhat sceptical of them until yesterday.

The content of the course was comprehensive and structured in a logical and coherent manner - you have obviously put a great deal of thought and effort into it. What came across clearly was your enthusiasm and your desire to give us the benefit of your knowledge and experience.

At first, I struggled with the calculations and some of the concepts but after reviewing my notes today, it is becoming clearer. However, I think it would help if the course notes contained more narrative as I feel it would enhance the learning process.

I would not say that I am ready to begin trading this method, but I am convinced that with further application, I will be able to trade with confidence knowing that I have the whole trade planned out before I have even entered it.

So, once again, many thanks for the excellent workshop. It was probably the best investment I will ever make. It is not often that one can pinpoint life changing events, but I have a feeling that in time I will come to view this weekend as one of those moments. I shall keep you posted on my progress.

Best wishes

Dear Sandy,

just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed your course on Saturday.

I hope you will be pleased to know that by looking at charts yesterday I managed to put away what I learned before (joining tops with tops and bottoms with bottoms, chart patterns, indicators and so on) and started looking at the charts from the point of view you taught me.

Amazingly enough I hadn't really worked out on Saturday how much more logical your approach is when compared to the traditional technical analysis, it was only when I sat down in my car and started driving home that everything seemed to start coming together. It was, in a way, enlightening.

Hi there Sandy,

Just want to drop you a quick email to show my appreciation for this weekend’s seminar.

If I had to type about all the good things that happened on Saturday, I will be here for days so I am just going to sum every thing up into one word BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!

I appreciated every minute of your Saturday that you stood there building up the foundation of my future. I am only 22 years of age and I thank you for giving me a early start. This seminar to me is priceless, thank you very much for everything.

Please do add me to your mailing list, I will appreciate that too.

Thank you

Hello Sandy,

I attended your October private trader’s workshop which I enjoyed greatly. The day itself was quite exhausting, but I found your method re-assuringly simple and clear (often the mark of good design and workable methods).

I have invested (long term holding) in UK/US shares since 1997 and whether by luck or design survived profitably, my curiosity however for short term "trading" finally got the better of me about 6 months ago.

Since then, I've read a string of books (some classics some not) on swing and short term trading. The result, I understood what I needed; entry/exit/stop points, risk/money management etc., but I didn't have a method or sufficient clarity which would allow me to commit cash.

Fortunately, I attended your free seminar with Finspreads and in turn the private trader’s workshop. I now feel I have a strategy to find opportunities, set entry points/stops/exit points, manage money and risk and most importantly an entry/exit strategy which successfully catches profitable price moves.

Since the seminar I have re-read the notes several times and back tested on a few of the stocks you suggest. My initial results have been very encouraging; I have found profitable price movements and agreement with your examples in the notes and the seminar.

However the more I test the more I am beginning to recognise the simple patterns you demonstrated, my intention is to back test further and hopefully soon start to trade.

I will let you know more once I begin trading.

All the best

Dear Sandy

I was very impressed with all aspects of the Private Traders Workshop I attended on Saturday. You demonstrated clearly and professionally skills and techniques, which I now aim to use, to become a better and more efficient trader.

The practical exercises were interesting and helped me to participate actively and fully in the course. Your methods of teaching and step by step guidelines were precise and structured.

Thank you for making the course so informative and enjoyable. I feel enthusiastic about looking for opportunities in the market and making more informed decisions.

Hello Sandy,

I would like to say how much I enjoyed the workshop on Saturday.

It was great to leave at the end of the day feeling that my expectations had been met and exceeded.

I arrived in the morning hoping that you would teach us a simple, logical tool along with some sound advice and I was not disappointed. Your teaching method of taking us step-by-step through the process at just the right speed was very effective.

I'm so glad I attended the workshop on Saturday and feel very excited that with a bit of experience, confidence and research, I can really make a go at trading in this way. To this end, I am looking forward to receiving your newsletters.

Thanks again and apologies for not saying so in person, but you had a lot of people speaking to you and I had to rush to catch my train!

Cheers

Hi Sandy,

I attended your very comprehensive one-day workshop last Saturday and I would like to thank you for making it a very interesting and enjoyable day. After previously attending one of your half-day workshops on simple chart analysis, my expectations were high and I certainly was not disappointed.

I found that for a novice trader like myself a lot of ground was covered, but it was presented in a clear and logical manner. The methodology was simple in principle to comprehend; showing how the private trader can predict direction changes in the markets and take low risk, potentially profitable trades, without it overtaking their life.

I am off on holiday now but I am eager to practice and test the knowledge I have gained during this very enlightening day, as soon as I get back home.

I left the course feeling confident that I will be able to implement the methods that you taught us. I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks very much for a full and great day.

Regards,

Sandy,

Thanks for an enjoyable and educational day, if only I could say the same for London transport and the rail network!

The presentation and the manual were both clear and the information flow was logical and your enthusiasm for teaching is clear to see.

I think the techniques you taught us should serve me well; I just have to deal with the psychological issues of trading now, and maybe prove that an accountant can trade successfully!

I look forward to receiving your newsletters which I hope will further strengthen my understanding.

Thanks again

Hi Sandy

Many thanks for the excellent Training Day last weekend. It was a long day, but the structure of the course, taking one element at a time in sequence, and the hands-on calculation exercises greatly helped the learning process.

Slowly, over the course of the day, I began to 'get it'. The combination of simplicity and depth was exhilarating. I'm finding the manual is a really valuable resource, and working through it again now at home is helping me draw up a trading plan and develop the confidence to apply the trading method consistently and rigorously.

With kind regards

Dear Sandy,

Greetings. Thank you for a splendid and informative seminar yesterday. I've attended more expensive seminars in the past- Manning, V.S, Fred Stafford's Gann, etc - but none came close to yours for content, delivery, focus, simplicity and practicality, not to mention the relaxed atmosphere.

You were able to demonstrate the importance of correct entry and exit strategies. I now know exactly where to enter and exit a trade with minimal risk. Diversification into different markets is for experienced traders, not novices. The missing pieces of the jigsaw have fallen into place for me.

I refrain from posting a review on T2W for at least 3 or 4 weeks because some people have criticised such early reviews as euphoric reaction. Most of the reviews you get will be positive; I know because I was there at the workshop and realise its value to me. Keep up the good work.

By the way, I have registered for a free seminar by Paritech to be held on 12 November in order to learn how to use the Metastock Personal software. I will most likely order the U.S data from them if there are special offers at the seminar.

Once again, thank you.

Sandy, Hi and thank you very much! 

The course on Saturday was a real eye opener. I felt comfortable with the overall philosophy of Fibonacci numbers and their application to trade entry and exit. You have a very clear/concise style of delivery. It was a bit weird really, during the day I asked you some questions about the material content and you were forthcoming with answers, but now that I have reviewed the material, the answers seem bloody obvious. I hope you don't think I was being an idiot. 

I observed the class interaction throughout the training. You have to admit, the class was "buzzing" Yesterday was fun and I think we all forgot that we actually had a long day. I had a real sense of personal achievement when I woke up this morning (Sunday) reviewed the material and some outstanding issues went "click". 

Like I said, I have just reviewed what you have taught me and I am going to "virtual trade" for about a week before I get back into the saddle of live trading. I have a different outlook on trading now, I am clearer about how to enter and how to exit a trade. I am a fan of Fibonacci and will adopt the concept into my trading plans. It just makes sense! 

I wonder how much a similar course would cost with some of the other providers out there, probably between £1000 and £2000. I've had organisations email and write to me offering course for up to £5000, and generally they are offering me "dreams", I live in the real world! 

Sandy, thanks again, you'll have to keep me up to date with future training events AS PROMISED!

Dear Sandy,

It is a great pleasure to let you know that I greatly enjoyed the whole seminar. The prodidous effort you made to enlighten us on your trading methods will be appreciated by all the attendees.

I have had no previous experience of the Fibonacci Theory and your excellent presentation of charts has completely convinced me of its immense value as a trading tool. In addition the paper work you gave us to do was the cement required to enable us to put all these ideas together into practice.

No one could fail to have a clear understanding of your methods and  what is more to the point be able to use them. No time was wasted and my brain was bursting with all the info offered to us. 

You will be pleased to know that speaking to other would be traders as I left they all agreed with these sentiments.

I have been in my life to many lectures and symposia -yours ranks with the best,

Yours sincerely

Hi Sandy, 

Sorry! You don’t want a 2500 word essay on the subject, what?  

Keep it simple, Sorry its got to be more complicated than that, No! Is that it? Yes folks that's it. Just what I’ve been looking for, a trading method with no interpretation to do, no fundamentals, just pure charts, with no pattern guessing, you know, is that a Head & Shoulders?, well it could be if the line was angled. Is that a double bottom, I think it is, No its not, Yes it is! 

Yes He did use patterns, 5 in all, but there is no question about these five, they are or they are not. Simple.  Then its do ABC and get Z. 

All information for the trade is given, size, entry, exit & stop, all calculated in the method. Just follow the rules. 

Now if I can follow these without any feeling and trying to modify, or make it better, Sandy has a winner, on top of which Sandy and his team always had time to help and make you feel at home. 

The best course I’ve been on. First time I’ve left a course and not felt something was missing, I had been given all the information I needed, and the cookies & cakes where great too.

Dear Sandy, 

Once again thanks for a brilliant weekend. 

After watching tapes from Mr "S" for 2 years and attending a weekend workshop with Mr "H" over 10 years ago I still felt I was getting nowhere.

Guessing . . . rather than predicting.

I was at the point of giving up a hobby that I really enjoy. Thanks to you and your training Day, my enthusiasm for the Markets has returned.

I've finally met a mentor who really knows his stuff. And, more importantly, can pass it on to others. 

Thank you very, very much Sandy.

Your course was excellent. I loved your little stories.  They really made the point.

May others always have the benefit of your experience, Every good wish,

Sandy, 

Bloody Brilliant!!! 

Darren Winters opens his seminar with the words:  ' Welcome to the best trading seminar in the world!'..........You should sue him under the Trade Description Act. 

The workshop was great. The information given was astounding, the delivery excellent and the after care support offered superb.  It is so nice to have precise guidelines to follow with real goals which are achievable, rather than ambiguous facts and figures and translucent objectives. 

Obviously I have to digest the information given and practise with it until I feel comfortable, but I am confident that very shortly I will be trading with a solid structure behind me and lots of profits ahead 

Many, Many Thanks,

Dear Sandy 

Just woken up from a good nights sleep with my head still buzzing!

Due to work commitments and lack of suitable Train times, I had to leave home at 4am to attend your course, however at no time during the day did I feel tired, in fact quite the opposite. 

The best moment for me was when you showed us where to enter a trade. The class fell silent how could we have missed something so obvious, simple we didn't know how to get to this point until you showed us. 

Thanks for a great day. 

Bill Pratt
(October 30th 2004)

Dear Sandy, 

Just to say a big thank you for yesterday's course. I arrived home last night tired and quite drained but felt it was a very rewarding experience and am looking forward to putting what I have learnt into practice.


Your step by step approach yesterday really helped this previous non chartist of advanced years to grasp the principals and it will fundamentally change the way I trade e.g. exercising risk management, identifying potentially profitable trades with risk/reward scenarios and with clear entry and exit points. I also like your attitude to life which is in accord with mine. 

Once again many thanks.

Best regards,

Hi Sandy, 

Thank you for the training yesterday. I was very impressed, not only with the method and strategies that you teach to trade, but also the way that you teach. A pleasant environment to learn in. 

As a person who is a virgin to trading :-), I was a bit apprehensive about attending your course. The only things that I knew about trading prior to this have been from books that I have read (From the Pit to the PC, A Beginners Guide to Day Trading Online and The Principles of Profit) and research on the Internet.

However, although that I knew very little about trading, that didn't really matter. In actuality knowing very little most probably made it a lot easier for me. Your method and strategy is simple to learn and easy to apply. Eliminate the clutter and deal with the rest (A simple military strategy).

Again, thank you for yesterdays training and I'll let you know how I get on.

Kind Regards

Dear Sandy,

I would like to thank you for the educational workshop yesterday.

Admittedly at the beginning I was slow on the uptake but as the day progressed I found it a lot easier to understand and it all began to slot into place. 

I have this morning been revising and hopefully now I will be able to see some progress in my trading techniques.  I will feel a lot more confident when I commence trading the markets again. 

Once again I would like to thank you and your staff for providing an excellent tutorial. 

Kind regards

Hi Sandy, 

I would like to thank you for your time and all your effort, you presented an excellent workshop.

Seeing the way you handle the entire problem of trading was very useful for me as I have been only paper trading so far.

Your knowledge made me look at the Market in a completely different way. Now the Market is less a mystery to me but a challenge.

I have heard of Fibonacci work before but I always thought of it as something very difficult to learn. I can honestly say that after attending the workshop I understand more about how Fibonacci works on different time frames and how they interact because the information was presented in a logical and simple to understand way. 

Thanks again for the great workshop.

Sandy,

Many thanks for a most enjoyable day at your trading workshop. I honestly believe that you have a genuine desire to share your trading methods & successes with others.

I have spent today reviewing the course notes, and already my understanding of them is becoming easier. It has taken the guesswork out of opening & closing trades. The consistency & accuracy is astounding, and with a little more practice it has given me the confidence to start trading again.

I have just received your September newsletter, and judging by it’s content I look forward to receiving future ones when I resume trading.

Look forward to hearing from you

Kindest regards, 

Nigel Cawthorne

Hi Sandy!

Hope you are well.

I would like to just say THANK YOU for giving us your 100% at the seminar yesterday.

I have been to a couple of seminars and have always come out feeling overloaded with information which has left me confused and unable to decide which strategy to use etc.

I had been led to believe that I cannot trade unless I have the myriad of indicators available out there! Although I have got quite excited about the potential gains that could be made by "advanced" techniques of trading, I have never actually understood the concepts taught!

Your Spreadbetting seminar:

You have taught one method which you have personally researched and actually use to trade yourself.

You probably aren't aware Sandy, but the way in which you have taught this method, you have actually managed to eliminate all the "emotion" that comes into trading....for instance getting excited to see a chart which has just started showing an uptrend etc. What I mean is that I want to TRY and do the calculations first...before I think of anything else!..(very clever teaching by the way!).

Speaking of which....calculations! Yes! As you will be aware, I did struggle a little and am working on it now! But you know what; I know I am almost there!

I have just been used to being told that there is a software out there that will do it all for you...but I found that your advise was down to earth and I appreciate that.

It is obviously still early days to say how much money I make etc.....but I will keep you posted. I intend to start trading as soon as I am comfortable with what I know and I will contact you again and again!

Thank you very much for the Teas and a lovely lunch. I wish to honestly thank you and your colleagues who were also very warm and welcoming. Although I was the only female at the seminar, I thoroughly enjoyed it and know that this is it! I actually understood what was being taught and I am not confused as to which method to use!

Sandy, I would love to receive your newsletters. I would also like to use the data feed that you recommend for the Metastock, please advise.

On a personal note Sandy, you are a very humble person, it's a nice touch!

I wish you all the success and I when I finally write my book.......I will mention you in it!

Look forward to above info. and also please let me know when the next seminar is so that I can book Jitu on it, thanks.

Warmest regards,

Bakula Tanna. (Bank Officer)

Dear Sandy,

I have been interested in spread betting for some time and have endeavoured to learn various charting techniques.

Because I have an account with Finspreads it came to my attention that you taught these seminars from time to time and I contacted you to arrange to attend one in London.

You actually spent a great deal of time talking to me personally which was much appreciated and you advised me honestly with regard to knowledge and suitability for the course, you certainly weren't trying to take my money. I came along anyway and I have to say that I was very impressed with the method that you taught and the material that we came away with, but even better than that is your constant support since.

I have every intention of taking further instruction and I most definitely will want it to be from you.

Many thanks Sandy,

Christine Locker.

Dear Sandy,

I would like to pass on my thanks for the course that you led on Fib methology.

In the past I have attended several courses, to include the Goldline system, Goldbars and several others. In my opinion you have created a course that provides what the underlying short / medium term trader is looking for in their trading.

Yours is the only system that I have come across that allows you to calculate the entry and exit levels without the need for software and ambiguity.

The course content was comprehensive and focussed. I am still to go over the notes and will need to move forward slowly in testing the levels. Whilst I understand that you review 120 instruments, and filter, I suspect that this will take time to become second nature.

My only concern was the use of the closing levels within a 5 min time frame of the end of the US markets for entry and exit levels.

I should mention that I have a professional trading background experience having been an option floor trader in the late 1980's. I believe your course to meet its claims in terms of content and presentation. In terms of profitability I will have to wait and see.

Kind regards,

Leigh Stephens

Sandy,

This is the first time in my life I have sent anyone a “thanks for the good service” type message, but from the heart, thanks once more for the opportunity to learn from you.

I regret the fact that I didn’t learn to trade years ago, but either way, I decided in January this year that someone could make a good living trading, if they knew their art.

So far this year, I have probably spent about £500 on various books, a lot more on various courses, and always (and without fail) ended up thinking “yes, ok, your method obviously works for you, but I don’t see it”, usually because I found that authors (or people) seemed more intent on showing how smart they are, with complicated theories , chart lines and all the rest.

You may well have noticed that by the time lunch came around I was laughing to myself for most of the day and that was because it was as if someone had just put some money in the meter and the lights just came on!

Once it clicked I just couldn’t miss the information – just like you promised!

I’m not foolish enough to think that I’m now going to suddenly be a record breaking trader and make millions in two weeks, but without doubt, once I sit down and learn your system inside out, I KNOW I can be profitable, and I really do believe that in the long term, I now have a realistic chance of making a living trading.

This is the first time I have felt that.

I know you like proverbs, and the best way I can describe my thinking is the old proverb that says “Everything is simple – it is only the mind that complicates things” and I really do feel that applies here.

Once “the penny drops” I find your system simple and easy to work out, which is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Thanks again Sandy.

Best wishes

Mark McKaig. (Police Officer)

Dear Sandy

Thank you so much for your time and the fantastic workshop you gave, it was a real pleasure to meet and learn from you again. I thought you presented the workshop and came across during it as a genuine, sincere and a highly professional individual.

You are truly a very gifted and knowledgeable individual who has an exceptional talent.

After attending your course on Saturday I did not even return to the notes until yesterday (Tuesday) when I really spent a good few hours going over everything you had taught.

I tried out and practised fib levels on various random charts, my own charts and my various positions today. All I can say is WOW!!!!! everything seems to be slotting into place, I can actually understand and apply what you taught AND IT WORKS.

I know its early days but I am really buzzed, really excited and really juiced. I am....really enjoying this journey I am really getting to grips with it and am finding that if you just go with the flow and do not question but just apply fib, it actually works.

I originally asked HOW CAN IT BE THAT SIMPLE?, but then hey life's a mystery, just go with the flow.

Many thanks again,

Best wishes,

Mr Junaid Jan

Dear Sandy,

Many thanks for yesterday's excellent workshop - it was a really absorbing and enjoyable day.

I have always struggled to read charts effectively and have been very hit and miss (mainly miss) with my spreadbetting. After just the first hour of the workshop I was beginning to see things much more clearly, and by the end of the day spotting the patterns and the entry and exit points was starting to feel like second nature!

Your patient step-by-step approach, and asking us to repeatedly work through examples, made the calculations and charting much easier. It was fascinating to see how accurately the method matched the market movements time after time. I appreciated the sensible advice on risk management and knowing when to walk away from a trade, too. 

For the first time I can approach spreadbetting with the confidence of being able to read the charts. Now I just need to see if I can apply the method and trade successfully, and with so many real examples to refer back to, I am really looking forward to the challenge. 

Thanks also to your colleagues - it must have been a long day for them, but they kept smiling right to the end!

So thanks again for yesterday - I hope I'll have the chance to hear more from you in the future.

Best regards,

Tim Collard

Hi Sandy, 

Here’s some feedback for your website, if you want it... 

This was a fantastic seminar from which I emerged absolutely thrilled! I didn’t know quite what to expect before I arrived, and am also very suspicious of people who teach trading, but Sandy certainly came out on top.

The cost of the seminar was well worth paying. At last I’ve found someone who was teaching exactly what I was looking for – a sound methodology brilliantly distilled from all the gobbledy-gook the books give you, good money management techniques, excellent trading advice all blended together to provide a robust trading plan which should give the careful trader consistent returns over the long term in any market. His teaching style is excellent, carefully structured, and he actually does care to take the time and effort to make sure everyone understands all that is being taught. This seminar is suitable for beginner or professional trader alike. Well done Sandy! 

There you go, hope it’s useful, not too over the top! But I really do think you made a very good effort, and I for one am very pleased with your course.

I couldn’t believe you taught exactly what I was looking for, i.e. an emphasis on Technical Analysis and a methodology which was not too far out (like Channel Analysis (not Bollinger) for example), plus what seems to be a sound approach to obtaining consistent profits.

I started trading in 1987, caught by the ’87 crash, then came in and out of the markets many times over the years. Each time loosing a (smallish) pile, but because I love the markets, kept coming back.  I began with Edwards and Magee, agreeing with many of their principles and ideas – especially that which states that the price tells the complete story, I too am happy to ignore fundamental analysis. 

I have many, many trading books, and have tried many techniques and indicators, but the problem I’ve found (once the psychological war had been won), is that of finding good techniques which really do work over time, and which provide consistent profit, i.e. something reliable. I’m so frustrated with having tried so many of the ideas expressed in these books, only to find them not work well enough to make consistent returns. I know that markets are not exact science, there’s nothing anyone can tell me there, but reliability is the key, reliability which provides for trading with confidence. 

By the way, you mentioned that people in the UK don’t go on courses – I think that’s because we’re a cynical bunch, and not taken for a ride as easily as in other countries?! “Those that can do, those that can’t teach” – and I’m old and wise enough to know that story holds true.  But there are those who genuinely seem to be able to do both very well, and I think after meeting you, you seem to be one of them. I’d like to see your trading record as evidence though – like Gary Smith in his book ‘How I trade for a living’.

That would underline everything you teach. Anyhow, I’m not demanding that, it would just be nice! 

For me, as an apprentice trader, I’d love to continue learning more from you, and other successful traders, to guide me along.

Kind Regards

Gerard Nath

Dear Sandy,

This is just a short note to thank you for allowing me to attend your seminar on Saturday. The whole day was thoroughly illuminating and at the same time highly enjoyable.

Your step by step approach to teaching was logical and although apparently not appreciated by some (who impatiently wanted to know the end before the beginning, i.e. - "...and then you trade?"), most appropriate.

Another thing that I'd like to emphasise is that you are truly a gifted teacher and likable person. I say this without reservation and believe me, WOULDN'T if you didn't deserve it.

It may be trite, but the only thing now is for me to study and utilise the knowledge you imparted. Only time and my understanding will prove if it is profitable or not. I have every confidence that it will.

Lastly, feel free to use any of this as a testimonial, although surely you have enough of these things already?!

Best regards,

David Nisbet

Dear Sandy,

I have been trading part-time for about five years without making (or losing) very much money, and I am a bit cynical when somebody offers me an easy-to-use trading system.

However, I read some very good reviews of this course and decided to give it a try. I attended the workshop on 14th August 2004 and I am glad that I did. The course offers a complete trading system, covering selection, entry points, exit points, stop losses and position sizes, and it will certainly change the way that I trade.

The system requires a certain level of numeracy, and, in the beginning, quite a bit of work to spot likely trading opportunities. Hopefully, the time spent will reduce after a bit of practice. A familiarity with bar charts and going long or short is also an advantage, and I would not recommend this course for absolute beginners. I don't recommend the club sandwich for lunch for anybody on a low-fat diet.

Hi Sandy,

I have just posted my review on the trade2win website under the i.d gecko23.

With regars to seminars, I have been to a few; Vince Stanzione, Optionetics, Darren Winters, FTS and I am also a member of Insight Support which is a home study course.

Your seminar was by far the best ,it is the only one I’ve been to whereby I feel that I can trade confidently using your teachings.

The trading system is very easy to operate, the stop losses are near the entry position so this limits losses. I was a member of Vince's service and on the Dow Jones he tells his students to place stops 400 to 500 pts away so a lot of money is at risk.

I also learned a great deal about the psychology needed to trade successfully which you talked about. For me the most important thing I learned was to stick to the system as it is with regards to entry, exit and stop losses.

Thank you.

Ayyaz Iqbal

Sandy,

I have now had time to evaluate the workshop and would make comments as follows:

Comments on your style and presentation will be dealt with elsewhere by many others suffice to say it say without question very professional, however with sincerity.

My desire for attending the course was to establish for myself whether I could become a trader, based on not having spent time in the city etc, because I have come to recognise that all things take time to master and the examples that you use in this, e.g. learning to drive a car - serve as valuable reminders.

The manner in which you deliver the early part of the workshop was particularly useful to me in that it helped to reinforce the humility of trading - your probing questions to the group about there trading experiences etc demonstrated reality and how the majority of people approach trading - i.e. without training/awareness etc.

However, it also pointed out that training whilst required, getting it suit your own style is the difficulty but most important aspect. To this end the style what you have explained I feel is suited to me, but the irony is that I do not have the confidence to think for myself, not in working out the scenarios but in accepting to trade using another persons methodology. (I refer to 'reminisces of a stock operator' and how Jesse Livermore once followed the style of a fellow cotton trader and managed to wipe himself out).

Can I ask you a question on this - if I begin to trade am I truly trading price applications, or am I using your methodology to trade? Or put another way when is it learning and when is it trading someone else's methodology?

Notwithstanding what I have said above, the area which I will and am confident in taking on board is risk management. This area of the workshop is excellent (if a little too short) and the risk techniques very simple and powerful. The entry and exit techniques/plan formation etc again will serve as a great help.

Kind Regards

Charles Gayle

Hi Sandy,

Thanks again for Saturday! I really enjoyed the course and found the techniques extremely enlightening and hopefully with lots of practice, invaluable.

I know you encouraged us to print the charts and do it manually which I will do, just don't have a printer at home and have been using TC2000 EOD for the last 6 months and find it quite good to use (cheap too).

I'm sending you the charts to have a look at, definitely not as buy or sell tips (ha-ha) but if you have any comments or criticism - if I am barking up the wrong tree, please feel free.

I have not yet posted a comment on T2W, actually having second thoughts about it after reading many of the threads regarding your course and the fib forum that trendie setup. As you said I find allot of it quite negative and I seem to get sucked into reading all these threads and wasting a huge amount of time. I have been a member of T2W for the past 6 months (pretty much when I decided to really get into trading). I came across the site after booking the Winters course some time back and was looking for reviews. I would never have done Winters course if I read the reviews first. Got sucked in to his free seminar like many others.

Anyway hope you are well! Thanks again for an enjoyable day on Saturday. I would like to be included on your mailing list as I am keen to learn as much as I can with my trading.

My fiancé even told me last night that she was going to change her hair style to look like a $ sign so I would take more notice of her. Guess that means I could be spending too much time on it according to some.

Have a good day! 

Adam Woolley

Dear Sandy,

I was doing quite well before attending Sandy's course. I was trading seasonals and made a fair bit trading the first trading day of the month and the day after American holidays etc. The reason why I joined Sandy's course was to have a better understanding of the markets and to tighten up my stop loss etc.

The course was very informative, small class size with personal attention on the day and after the course. The cost was good value to - trust me I know I have been on a Vince Stanzione course.

My hit rate now is about 70-80%. I only trade a few markets - the Dow, Crude Oil, gold. My capital varies but I trade several accounts. The smaller one, I started with £1500 and in 4 months, and using Sandy's method the account is now valued at £3500. I have to say that its worked well for me and suits my temperament.

I use live data - although you certainly don't need it. EOD is fine and when I learn not to be a trading junky I will be able to get away from my screen!

I use esignal - expensive but has great fib tools. There are cheaper set ups and Sandy will talk to you about these. As for preparation, there is very little on the web. I hope this helps. Contact Sandy direct - very helpful and you will be surprised by the response. 

Good luck

Hi Sandy,

I attended Sand'y's Fibonacci Workshop on the 26th June 2004 in London.The reasons I went on the seminar are:

Good reviews and I knew nothing about Fib ratios and wanted to learn about them.

I was struggling to find a suitable technical trend following strategy that I felt I was comfortable with. Especially as I have a small account size and didn't want to suffer large draw downs.

I had previously been on a Turtle Trading Seminar with 450 other people, hosted by VS and Russell Sands and paid five times the cost of Sandy's course only to learn that I didn't have the required capital to trade the Turtle system effectively. I also learnt afterwards that these guys don't even trade. I therefore felt that I needed to learn from somebody who actually does trade the method that he teaches.

The day kicked off about 9am with 18 people in the class.

Sandy started by explaining his background and the basis of his approach to trading. We spent the rest of morning leaning the basic Fibonacci methods and were given various exercises to work through to ensure that we grasped the concepts that Sandy was teaching.

Sandy made sure that we understood each concept before we moved on. If anybody had any problems with a concept he was more than willing to spend time with you to ensure that you understood.

The afternoon was spent going through risk management and advanced Fibonacci patterns. Numerous examples were provided and discussed. Sandy wasn't shy about answering questions from class members and actively encouraged this.

Overall I felt this course was good value for money and I now have an EOD system which I believe I can trade. Sandy advised us not to trade after the course until we had been over the concepts and course material and I have been spending the week doing this by working through real life charts.

I would recommend this course to anybody who wishes to trade a simple yet effective EOD system. 

Cheers. 

Andrew Collet.

Hi Sandy,

Just to give you some feedback on the Private Traders Seminar that I attended in November 2003. Before I go into my views on the seminar, I would just like to thank you for the time you have given me since the seminar. You have been approachable and helpful, which for someone as busy as you are, is a rare thing.

As for the seminar, having been to a few in my time, I was very pleased with both the presentation and the flow from one concept to the next. You made sure that everyone understood each part before progressing to the next.

The method itself is very straightforward, meaning that people are more likely to go away from the seminar and actually use the principles that were taught. The only impediment to profitability would be whether or not discipline is exercised (as with most things).

I would recommend your one day seminar to anyone who wanted a simple, usable methodology for trading financial markets.

Regards,

Sanjay Patel.

Dear Sandy,

Firstly may I congratulate you on a very well run course and your outstanding hospitality. I find your style of teaching very easy to comprehend and even though it is a long day I feel that you covered all we need to learn in a very precise manner. Never did I feel that you moved on to the next section without everyone fully understanding what you wanted us to take on board.

Even though I attended the half day  Finspreads course I felt that after attending this course I would still be 'nervous' about entering the Markets with my own money and based on my previous experience in the Markets I was very unsure about what I was doing. I was convinced at one point there was a conspiracy against me by all the markets!!

However at 6.00 o'clock Saturday evening I stood up and felt extremely confident and full of enthusiasm regarding my future as a trader. I have spent Monday looking at charts, doing my calculations and preparing myself as you have shown us so I now know exactly when to enter the Market be it long or short and I have my exit strategy as well!!

If there is one thing I would urge anyone reading this to do straight away is write down a trading plan - simple or complex, I don't think it matters but you really need something to focus on when making your decisions. I have done a simple one for myself and it gives you an added confidence that you have a committed plan to work to rather than planning each trade as you go along.

I really look forward to meeting you again to follow up on my progress and to show you that I have (hopefully) grasped the essence of what you have shown me.

I hope we can keep in touch and once again 'Thank you ' so much for everything.

Warmest regards

Jeremy Peat

Hi Sandy,

If there is one thing that annoys me about some people out there that loudly promote their seminars as being the best thing since sliced bread, it's their remarkable ability to over-promise and under-deliver. (I know - I've been on a couple!).

However, with your particular ability to deliver the subject in a coherent understandable fashion, plus your obvious enthusiasm, the complete reverse is true. I found the whole day to be extremely informative; the small numbers allowed plenty of time for questions to be asked and answers to be discussed and the general atmosphere was open and friendly.

You did say that it may well take a few days for things to start clicking into place and that is exactly what has happened with me! I certainly feel more confident to start trading with real money rather than just on paper!

I Would I recommend your course? Without hesitation. Would I come on any further courses you may run? See answer above!

Thanks Sandy,

John Walter    

Dear Sandy,

It was an honour and a pleasure to meet you on Saturday.  We found your course to be most informative and superbly executed.  Your expert tuition has given us both the confidence to distance ourselves from the flock and to take a step back to avoid jumping the lights.

From the day, we can understand how you should be considered to be a trading guru and why the Markets respect you so highly. We wholeheartedly thank you and feel that we can at last get down to some real trading with the prospect of a bright future.

With our very best wishes and kindest regards.

Nicholas & Charlotte MacKay

Dear Sandy,

Thank you for an interesting seminar, outlining Fibonacci techniques combined with other principles, to enable relative newcomers to trade a range of markets safely and sensibly.

There was a refreshing avoidance of extravagant success claims or recommendations to spend lavishly on software and other aids and, whilst there is vastly more to be said on trading generally, of which you are far more aware than I am, the day sensibly focused on providing just one simple and practical method which a pupil could grasp, go out and apply effectively straight away.

I’m sure that any newcomer, and many experienced amateurs, would avoid serious losses, enjoy modest gains and gain confidence as well as save the seminar fee many times over, merely from adhering to your systematic and disciplined approach.  Private traders stand to gain enormously from the accumulated wisdom of an experienced professional, particularly one who helps patiently with our endless naïve questions, as you did.

Some of the most valuable points came late in the day, sometimes as passing comments only, perhaps due to late-running caused by questioners, and that could be addressed with maybe some time being switched from e.g. the mechanics of ratio derivation and examples of the simplest cases of Fib applications to instead “dinging-into” our amateur heads the need to trade selectively only, use stops aggressively to get best entry, and always to keep to (1) a methodology (2) a trading plan (3) rules within the plan (4) back-testing any method in a particular market before use and (5) strict money management at all times.  It seems that these are the main amateur failings – mine are certainly among them!

Thanks again,

Best wishes,

Paul Brooks

Dear Sandy,

I attended your seminar yesterday as a beginner to the world of trading and spread betting. I left 9 hours later feeling excited and keen to begin trading.

At the time there seemed to be a lot of information to take in but as the day progressed and I was later able to think about what I had learned it became clear that your method is simple and seemingly effective.

I will be going through the manual provided over the next few days and am looking forward to placing my 1st trade, although I anticipate I may have a couple of questions on some points I am not 100% sure about before I take that step!

Thank you for a stimulating and interesting day.

Regards,

Phillip Walker

 

Dear Sandy,

I had a very good day and enjoyed it immensely.  Eager to get started on the unique system which you taught us although I do realise at least for me personally I need a lot of practice to become quick at it. I have been going over and over the handbook which you gave us this morning and will keep on until I feel quick and confident enough to trade. My mind won't be on much else now; I really have got my teeth into this.

In case you want to put this on your web site I would add that I have been on another charting course run by a very well known stockbroker and some two years ago it was more expensive than yours and today it is being advertised at almost a thousand pounds.

More importantly I found a lot more substance in your course and found the Leonardo Fibonacci system  (which you explained in absolute detail) brilliant and fascinating. I was shown a Fibonacci chart on the the previous mentioned course along with many other different charts but nothing of his method and explaining was given on that course.
