"The OWL Indicator is super cool.
I'm already seeing so many possibilities by following the day to day change in
the histogram. You could build a system around it. With ART, there has to be
over a million ways to trade. Crazy. Now, I'll never be able to sleep. LOL."

"In the past 2 weeks that I have
traded I have made a killing - like this week I made 3 months salary. I don't
trade every week, but in the last two trading sessions I have made at least a
months salary - the systems that I am creating around ART have been great and
getting better and finally I am doing what I dreamed of doing years ago. Thanks
for writing ART - it is the key stone to my trading and it is almost too easy it
seems some days. Thanks and Regards..."

Money management a must requirement for
novice traders
"I find this book [A
Trader's Money Management System] an eye opener in explaining in simple
layman language the money management concepts to prevent risk of ruin. As a
novice trader, it has since helped me to control my risks in my trades while
learning the other aspects of trading. Otherwise, given my impetuous character,
by the time I learnt the ropes and trading mindset needed , would probably have
lost all my trading capital.
Thank you Mr. McDowell, this book has saved my day."

"Your book "A Trader's Money Management System" is the
cornerstone of my risk management planning. Out of the 150 trading books I have
read it is one of the top ten best. I have also ordered your newest book

"Not even 1/2 way through my course [Financial Freedom
Package includes the ART® Online Home-Study Course & ART® Trading
Software], and have already made way more that the Financial Freedom Package
cost. I am not a newbie. Been day trading for 12 years but this is
still a great product."

"I have been trading with the ART system now since
February and am very happy. Bennett stresses money management, which is
why he has a separate book on that (and a good one at that). He also states that
no system is perfect and anyone searching for the holy grail is wasting their
time, because it doesn't exist. His honesty is refreshing.
The book [The ART® of Trading] is very well written and when you are finished
you will want to give the ART system a try. Bennett is one of the most risk
averse traders I've ever known and that's what I like about him. He stress the
importance of position sizing, risk capital, how much to allocate to your
trading account, and psychology, while also reminding us that the actual trading
system represents only 25% of the equation.
I like that the focus is on price/volume which really are the only 2 truths in
the market. Everything else is just a derivative. The reader is not bombarded
with hundreds of indicators and wondering how to apply them in a practical
manner. There is a chapter on some of the more common indicators that Bennett
recommends as confirmations to trading a reality based system such as the ART
methodology. One is given a small arsenal of useful indicators which can
actually be used. Also, he reminds us that it is dangerous to form opinions
about where the market is going. The writing comes across as sincere, honest,
and fluid. Bennett shares many of his own personal disasters as a trader. I also
respect that Larry McMillan wrote the forward as he is someone who I trust
immensely. I recommend this book for all traders, but it is mandatory if you
have any interest in learning the ART system.
I've been trading (mostly options)/investing for 10 years and in a world of scam
artists, Bennett McDowell and his company are 100% honest. They tell it like it
is. I consider myself an intermediate trader, but any failing I have is my own
fault and not the fault of my educators or trading systems. The ART system is
NOT a black box system. Give it to 1000 different traders and everyone will
trade it differently. Some will do well, and others wont. But the tools are
there."
Mark B., Seattle WA
May 2010
"Investors need every tool and ounce of sound advice that
is available to them. My only regret is that I did not have this book and the
ART® software 20 years ago. It would have made hundreds of thousands of dollars
difference in my portfolio and a major difference in the quality of my life and
that of my family. Think about that.
The book alone is full of sound advice if you never buy the software. I will
state without reservation to any new investor or to those who want to learn to
be wise investors, if you don't buy another book, buy this one. The companion
volume on money management is also important. But the fact that you can buy the
powerful ART software license, good for life, that will guide you through the
innumerable investment decisions before you in these perilous times for a
pittance, relatively, is nothing short of awesome. But like most important
decisions in life, if you listen to the wrong voices, you will make wrong
decisions. Think about that also. Like Trammell Crow told some of the Partners
at my last meeting with that company, "The best thing you can do in life is
think. Think. Think."
Howard B., Abilene, TX

"The book [The ART® of Trading by Bennett McDowell] is
detailed yet very easy to understand. Helps to identify the trend in any
timeframe and stay in it for as long as possible. Very much helped me to scalp
within the trend instead of against it in choppy markets. Highly recommended for
any day trader. The ART® of Trading: Combining the Science of Technical Analysis
with the Art of Reality-Based Trading (Wiley Trading)."
Steve O., Las Vegas, NV

"I was interested in the software first, so I placed the order for the book any way. When it came, I put it on the side and started to use the software. But then I realized, I should read this book. WOW...once you read it, and along with the software, I made $3K first time I used it. Just followed my own stock, watched the pyramid and took the trades. WOW. AGAIN. Awesome book. Must have . It actually sits next to me all the time... I love it. Do not wait, I highly recommend it..."

"I bought this book ['The ART® of Trading'] with the intent of obtaining the 30-day free trial and learning more about the A.R.T. software, which I have.
This is an excellent book about trading even if you don't buy/use the ART Software. This book teaches solid trading skills needed to be a successful trader in any market and with any system, but the emphasis is on their software. I have obtained the 30-day free trial and so far the ART software is all they say it is and more. Bennett McDowell appears to be the real deal."
Ric W., California USA
January 2010
"I found A Trader's Money Management System extremely valuable and informative. In this book Bennett McDowell divides money management into five parts: The Psychology of Risk Control, Stop-Loss Exits, Trade Size, Record Keeping and Design Your Own Plan. In the Psychology of Risk Control section he discusses the need for a plan of risk control then presents ways of uncovering your psychological makeup which either aid or hinder your trading. Then he outlines a systematic approach to turning your weaknesses into strengths on the way to a trader's mindset. In the Stop-Loss Exit section Mr. McDowell makes a case for stop-losses and gives rules and their uses in different market conditions. The Trade Size section was fascinating, perhaps because I am a math major. Here he explains the tables and formulas for determining the amount of capital to risk, the trade size to achieve this and the probabilities for risk-of-ruin based on your personal success ratios. The Record Keeping Section explains the use of ledgers and score cards to track your trades and analyze your success rates which is vital to becoming a master trader. Finally in Design Your Own Plan Mr. McDowell puts it all together with a step-by-step checklist and personal questionnaire to help you design a realistic and workable plan that you can implement on a regular basis. This book is well written and concise. I highly recommend it for all levels of traders."
Michael D., Los Angeles, CA USA

"I bought the EW program [Elliott Wave Online Home-Study Course] and love it. If there are folks out there that do not understand it - I was formerly one of them - GET IT - It is taught in a manner that is easy to digest and with the course structure you can go back and review sections over and over until you DO get it."

"Have been trading currency markets for a number of years. Found McDowell's book to be extremely practical. Lots of examples made it easy to connect the dots specially for people that have not done this before. Since the basic principles illustrated in the book apply across multiple markets, I would have liked to see a little more diversification of examples across other markets, such as forex, particularly with the record keeping examples. All in all, highly recommend it."

Helpful Insight into Money Management and Trading Discipline
"For the past two years, I traded in my IRA using a variety of approaches recommended by different trading gurus and authors. I've tried everything from so-called "PhD level" training by a major brokerage firm, subscribing to dozens of trading services, and several specialized ETF trading "colleges" by so called trading experts and fund managers. The experiences ranged from
disappointing to a waste of time and money. In the process, I've picked up a few trading skills, but not to the level I expected for over $40,000 invested in my training.
The one thing I have learned is to trust in myself and not listen to the hype you get from these so called "gurus". I've read parts of a lot of books on trading and never completed any of them. They either were too technical or too difficult to follow and never really presented a strategy I felt comfortable to implement on my own. An area in which most books gloss over or fail to stress, is in the use stops and an effective money management system. A few will go so far as to discourage using stops. Most will make reference to needing to adhere to good money management techniques, but fail to go into detail on how to do this.
After reading Bennett McDowell's "A Trader's Money Management System" and "The Art of Trading - The ART of Trading: Combining the Science of Technical Analysis with the Art of Reality-Based Trading" (Wiley Trading), I finally have the confidence and knowledge to start 2010 with a trading plan and strategy for success. I learned how and why to use stops. Not just the importance of stops, but the actual logic behind them. Having lost a lot of money in trades gone bad, I now understand why I should never enter a trade without a good stop in place. By using stops on every trade, I will avoid catastrophic losses and drawdowns.
I also learned how the ART System can help me identify entries and exits before placing the trade and how to precisely calculate my trade size in shares or contracts to maximize my reward/risk ratio. By using the ART system to correctly identify "entries and exits", I will have the confidence to place my trades without fear of losing big. I also have a new sense of
commitment I've been missing in my trading. I plan to paper trade for a few months to master these new skills before risking real money.
By incorporating the ART System into my trading strategy, and using a carefully crafted Money Management plan for my future trading, I feel my future as a trader will greatly improve. His books are easy reads and use a lot of examples to help the reader understand the "why" and "how" of what is being discussed.
Thank you, Bennett for helping to enlighten all traders on these very important aspects of trading."

ART - Applied Realty Trading SOFTWARE and COURSE:
"Hello, The reason of this post is to let you know about a good software, which is part of my trading tools.
ART [ART® Software] is an add-on for TradeStation, eSignal, NinjaTrader, QuoteTracker.
How I decided to use ART?
Based on quality:
1) At a TradersExpo I was looking how the developer of ART - Bennett McDowell - is trading with real money in front of a few
hundreds of people.
2) After that, I spoke with Bennett McDowell and I found out he is a serious trader, developing the
software based on interesting principle and paying a lot of attention to money management.
His ART course [ART® Online Home-Study Course] is great too.
And something to keep in mind - he is very honest and helpful.
If you are interested, see for yourself at TradersCoach.com I hope this post will help you in your trading All the best, Gavroche."

"I just completed a day seminar in San Diego [Two-Day San Diego Live Trading Tutorial] I cannot tell you you how how useful it was. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ART system is decptively simple but there is a lot of stuff behind the "scenes" I HIGHLY suggest that you consider attending the tutorials as (1) you get one on one with a true professional that did did it for decades and (2) the system has a lot of minutiae in it that worth exploring. Namely the Elliott wave series that is presented fabulously in their new on line series [Elliott Wave Online Home-Study Course] Once you add the Elliott wave and the Fib - it all "come together " in a fantastic package. The scanner and the elliot wave tapes - make the ART system "sing" I am not an paid employee of TC, etc, but this is the first system that makes perfect sense and frankly "worth every dime". I take this process very seriously - and despite years of trading CANSLIM, vectorest, Worden etc, this is very simple - but complex in its elegance."

"The greatest book on money and risk management!"
"This is the greatest book on money and risk management! Money Management is one of the most important aspects of trading, but it is a complex and boring subject. Mr.McDowell makes some of these complex concepts (like the risk-of-ruin tables) and formulas easy to understand and interesting. You don't need a Ph D in mathematics to implement them. This book has elevated my level of awareness of the importance of integrating trading strategies with good money management. The next big thing this book provides is "The Trader's Assistant Record Keeping System". Good and accurate record keeping are vital to any successful business. Appendix B of this book provides all the forms you need for your trading business. This one alone is worth more than the price of this book. Also, the services from the home office are excellent. Jean returned my call promptly (even on a Friday afternoon) and she is very friendly and helpful." Thanks Jean, you are great! Now, I am going to order Mr. McDowell's other book: "The ART of Trading."

I must say you have done a remarkable job of combining and orchestrating several envelopes to achieve optimization of market dynamics, and risk control, to produce the end result of superior trading results.
These pieces are all part of my mosaic but you have assembled them perfectly, well beyond where I am currently at. My hat is off to you for the work that you have done. Needles to say I look forward to working closely with you and your team as we move forward. Have a nice weekend and I will talk to you next week."

"Hi Ben, Just a short email to let you know that the 4 consultations [Private Phone Consultations] have brought me back to a more normal trader’s discipline. I have this week cautiously re-entered the market with three deals with amounts that are below money management levels, but appropriate as I phase myself back into trading. I had completed 42 paper trades, which generated a win ratio of 60% and a profit ratio of 2.86.
The consultations have guided me away from compulsive trading, to a patient, disciplined approach, much more suitable to my personality. I am relaxed waiting for the market to create opportunities suitable to my system, and I have set aside specific times each day for steps in my process. I am now allocating much more time to back-testing each share in my watchlist, and then updating the back-test for the latest data – trying to identify any changes in the market. Ben, once again thanks for the advice.....Best regards."

Thank you very much ... I just wanted to add this: When one trade a very small
time frame and only using the "magic" pyramids, (drawdown low, which is my case
on 6E) and this during 9 to 11 hours a day, the moves are huge, just huge....
It is a great system, Bennett. Congratulations. I am very happy with the system.

"The ART®
of Trading" - Book & Software Review
"Bennett McDowell is first and foremost a good writer. The reader never has to
worry about being lost in the book because of the strait forward manner of Mc
Dowell's presentation. He is a realist about the market and trading, and as such
he spend almost equal time on money management as he does the ART Software. His
presentation is not "one size fits all" but how you can take his ideas and
tailor them to your style of trading. Since finishing the book I have
been using the software about a month, and have found it absolutely incredible
in identifying entries, exits and the end of trends. Any trader reading
this book will find enough new insights to justify the cost of the book. Highly
recommended."

"Love this system - VERY stress free - finally making more money then I
am losing and certainly not losing sleep at night either - very glad I found you
all...
I subscribe to news releases all day long on stuff as it
is breaking and that is usually a good place to make some fast money. I attach a
release a bit ago on DNDN. I went to ART [ART®
Software] to see what all the action was about - and it kept me on the
sidelines. Normally I might have chased this willy nilly - very cool
More then 1/2 through money management - also an excellent recommendation

Here Is A Chart With The ART® Software Capturing
This Bullish Trend:
Probably The Best Software in the Market
"I have invested in many software and I must admit that ART is the best I have
come across. This software works standalone without the use of any indicators
and yet its so accurate. Currently I am using it with Advanced GET eSignal and
it blends like magic. Try it for yourself the one month trial offer and I am sure
you will not regret.
The price tag is reasonable and the support is excellent. I will never take
another trade without ART software. Thank you Bennett for your contribution to
the financial market."

"I have been trading and writing trading systems for many years. At first
sight the ART system seemed very simplistic and I was a little skeptical.
Nevertheless having read a lot of books on trading this one had something that
caught my eye. It was a little different. The book is not really of much use
without the software so I went ahead and bought the software as well as some
training webcasts. This gave me an opportunity to speak with the author and it
quickly became clear to me, being able to refer to my own experience of
technical analysis, that there is more to this than meets the eye. It is based
on principles that have worked well for a lot of technical traders over the
years. Do not be deceived by the simplicity. There is much more to the system
described in the book that meets the eye. Dig deeper and you will find a real
gem of a system."
Stephen V, Switzerland
"Most advice from Trading books focus on indicators and other stochastic
measurements to help you trade better... but this book [The ART®

volume relationships. With the development of this ability the trader will be
able to make rational trades and control risk and reward."

Bennett McDowell is very unique and simple. This Wiley Trading book is used by
several professionals in various countries including US. Bennett has put years
and years of experience into the book. On top of it, the book comes with free
trial of expensive software. This book and software is not "Get Rich Quick"
scheme. If you are willing to work, this book points you towards the right
direction. You only need right direction in the trading/investing amazon. Thanks
Bennett sharing the experience through the book and software".
Ved P., San Diego CA
"The ART of Trading is one of the best trading books out there. Bennett
McDowell lays out the concepts in a clear no nonsense fashion. Anyone interested
in trading will benefit from this book".
John B., Columbus OH
"As a licensed financial advisor, as well as a CFP, I was always skeptical
of any investment strategy other than "Buy & Hold". The recent market downturn
has confirmed that Buy & Hold only works over very long periods of time. Bear
markets can last for decades. McDowell's book is very straightforward. No
promises or expectations. The money management and trading psychology are right
on the mark. I strongly recommend his system for the legions for "Buy & Hold"
investors who want to see realistic growth over time".
David P., Lawrenceville, GA
"This book is comprised of really good trading fundamentals and also some
outside of the box trading concepts that will not only benefit the new trader,
but the veterans as well. The book serves as a companion to the ART trading
software, which by the way is one of the best trading software packages
available at any price".
Michael K., West Chester, PA
"I found this book to be an "all you need to know" if you're a trader using
the ART system of trading. My biggest problems have always been a lack of
discipline in following the rules and the "ability" to always find a reason not
to enter trades. With other systems, they usually give guidelines and then a
rather long list of all the reasons why this "trade setup" might not work. The
ART trading system has been, for me, the simplest rules to follow and have
visually - through the patterns shown on the charts - helped me remain more
disciplined in my trading. I demo'd the system for one month and, recognizing
that no system is perfect and losses will always occur, I am convinced that this
is the system that my personality, trading skill level, and mental risk level
all match best with".
Brock, B, Birmingham AL
"I am familiar with the work of Bennett McDowell for many years. In my
search for robust and reliable trading systems, I was lucky enough to find the
ART trading system and work with it in the markets with great success over the
past years.
This book is the result of Mr. McDowell's mastery and experience over the years.
It shows in a simple and straightforward way what a trader must do to succeed in
the markets in the long term. Not for a day, not for a week, not for a month,
but for a lifetime....Bennett's system is not just a technical system of entries
and exits. It's a complete approach, a well prepared trading plan that you have
to follow every day to succeed in the markets.
Is it the "Holy grail" of trading? of course not, because such a system simply
doesn't exist. And Bennett is quite clear on that. With his experience, he knows
very well that it's misleading to tell a trader that there can be a system that
never fails. Instead, he tries to teach the truth, the "realities" of the
market, as he calls them. And that is price and volume....Nothing else....
The book gives the reader the opportunity to test, in real time ,the ART trading
software, which is available in many platforms. I think that this is a great
companion to the system itself. It recognizes automatically the "pyramid points"
and the reversal bars, and gives the trader the time to concentrate on the
important things, that is the money management and the trade management.
A very useful book to whoever wants to take a complete, reliable and
straightforward approach to trading...."
A.N., Athens, Greece
"A great read and a book that you leave next to your trading monitor. Easy
to follow risk management tools that will take your trading to the next level.
After reading this book I was able to apply rules to my trading that puts me on
par with the Professionals. A must read for any TRADER".
L. G., Miami FL
"This book revolutionized my trading! It is the only book on the market that
I have come across that's easy to understand. All traders need to have a sound
money management system to be successful and this book provides the perfect
blueprint".
John P., Los Angeles, CA
"I knew I needed to learn more about managing money in relation to trading
options. I don't have a financial background and this book clarifies what to do.
The author graciously includes works by different authors on money management as
well. I've met him in person at the Trade Show in Vegas November 2008. He is an
intelligent and generous teacher and his book is the best place to start".
Patricia B., Los Angeles, CA
"I am so thankful that I began my life as a trader with reading 'A Trader's
Money Management System'. I am currently in the research mode and have yet to
buy my first system, set up my first brokerage account or make my first trade.
It has given me confidence that so far I am doing things right and in order
(capital, money management, system then psychology). I now have a realistic
understanding that a low win to loss ratio is ok as long as I have a good money
management. It will be the money management that will keep me in the game and
hopefully allow my winners to overtake my losers. Thanks Bennett".
Balitomore MD
"Trading is more about not losing money than about winning trades. After
reading, "A Trader's Money Management System" by Bennett McDowell, I learned how
not the lose my shirt and stay in the game. Not every trade will be a winner.
So, be prepared and manage your risk. I would recommend this book to any serious
trader".

Bob from New Jersey read “The ART® of Trading” and uses the ART®
Software. Bob is very impressed with the ART® Software, so much in fact he had
this to say:
“I've been trading for five years and I've used lots of software: VectorVest,
AmiBroker, eSignal, WizeTrade, PremiereTrade AI, TeleChart, Vantage Point,
eASCTrend, etc. I still hold onto most of these because I'm a trading software
junkie. But, I find A.R.T. to really be the most specific and
profitable. It tailors the entry, stop, and targets without too much subjective
interpretation. This is the most I've been impressed with any software package
in the first month of using any of them...I
love the software and it's made me $8,800 since I started using it on 7/21/08.”

the psychology of trading . . . everything a serious trader or investor needs.
It's a well thought-out strategy and certainly worth the investment."

of fun!"

a professional trader. Bennett McDowell has successfully combined the ART and
SCIENCE of trading in a well thought-out, structured approach. Focusing on the

"This is the kind of book that fires my personal testing ideas; it
features simple concepts explained in a straightforward manner. The theories
lead to pragmatic systems that can be used in turnkey fashion or modified
according to the reader's discretion. I anticipate many happy hours in the
research lab."
—Art Collins, author, trader, and Contributor to Futures magazine

by emphasizing the extreme importance of risk control and its vital place in a
sound trading plan. Further, he provides knowledge of and access to specific

breath of fresh air and a worthwhile contribution to this important element so
crucial to the achievement of successful trading results.”

e-mini, thanks to ART, netting 14 points on a long trade. I’m getting pretty
consistent results with the higher timeframe method. I normally trade on 3-min
chart and use a 15-min and 10-min chart as a way to confirm in which direction
is the trend developing – as a result I only trade contracts in this trend
direction....Thanks for all your trading insights."

Wiley & Sons To Publish Bennett's New Book
Money management in trading involves specialized techniques combined with the
trader's own judgment. Not adhering to a sound money management program can find
a trader exposed to a deadly risk of ruin, and, worst of all, most probably
equity bust. A few essential money management techniques can make a big
difference to the bottom line. In The Trader's Money Management System, author
Bennett McDowell will introduce readers to the most important elements of money
management in trading.
Topics covered in the book include: psychology of risk control; how to design a
money management program to get maximum profit from your trading system; tips on
designing a stop loss strategy to keep you out of trouble while avoiding "whip
saw madness"; how to calculate the best trade size on every trade; how to
analyze your profit / loss results and identify weaknesses in your current
strategy; plus much more.

"Hey Coach, I’m back here in FLORIDA after a good trip (home). Just wanted to thank you for everything. It was a pleasure to meet you, your lovely wife and your team. I must say I have a much different view of your software, I think I was trying to read more into it than necessary. I am committed to becoming a successful trader and I think my biggest problem to this point has been that I have not committed to a system or method. The most important benefit I got from the tutorial was that you convinced me that I must take the time and do the testing and make it my own in order to gain the confidence needed to trade. After meeting you in person, your sincerity and confidence was obvious. I didn’t get the feeling that I got with so many vendors out there, that you were only interested in selling me something else. So again, thank you and I look forward to working with you. I trust that you will be brutality honest with me and keep me on the right
track."

I have already suggested it to other people I know who are interested in trading. It is very rare that something works as advertised. I am happy to say that your home study course, and ART®
Charting Software works so well, its scary some times. I happened to be up at 1am just watching the FOREX markets and I caught a really early bullish PTP [Pyramid Trading Point®] in the R2K .... So far, the trade has picked up 8 points and not stopped out yet on a 2 min chart. The paper trading has proved to be so valuable as well as the trade size calculator. Honestly, I can't imagine trading without ART® or the calculator..... Anyway, thanks so much for your help service, and constant feedback. Your personal service really means a lot to me.....

Dear Ben,
I want to thank you for your superb presentation at the CIT ("Colleagues In Trading") meeting today. Both programs, morning and afternoon, were enlightening, each in its own way, and certainly worth a trip down to LA, my first attendance at a CIT meeting. Sharon was spot-on in her assessment of the value you brought to the group. I appreciated the obvious effort to maintain a commercial-free morning session; but it was the afternoon program that I was particularly interested in. I was most impressed on several levels, especially the straight talk and lack of BS. When I got home tonight I “joined the club.” I look forward to working with you in the coming months.

"Hi, Bennett, ... I really love your course and software and am convinced that it will change my life and enable Jan and I to live our dreams. Your "trader's mindset" advice helped me improve my trader's self-image with the understanding that my goal is to learn to be as great a trader as possible, and that I am not afflicted with "bad trading genes." I just have to overcome a few poor trading techniques, and have your professional software system. I realize from your advice about paper trading and going back to paper trading (if one loses about 12% of one's trading account), which I call an "Account Stop Loss," that if I had followed your advice, it would have saved me over 85% of my losses over my ten years of trading. I also like that I can be creative even within your system as I customize it to my needs. Of course, having an objective professional software program is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much! ..."

“Hi Ben, Kim joins me to express our thankful appreciation to Jean and you for your warm hospitality and kindness. I learned a lot not only from your patient teaching of a wise, prudent, skilful and realistic approach to the art and technical science of trading, but also from the impeccable organization of your trading office, showing how much you take the business seriously, I should say passionately.
……..I was a little bit surprised myself to have found out that trading the S&P is not as stressful, scary as I thought, but start having some fun instead…..

"Bennett, Thank you. It was my pleasure and a great experience to be able to attend the first of what I imagine will be many more of these seminars. I'm sure everyone there found that the time spent was valuable. I know it was well worth the trip for me....
"I've been to more than a few "seminars" that were little more than advertorials with high pressure sales pitches at the end. I truly appreciated the pricing and discount structure being presented up front and felt that your seminar provided much more information that was relative to successful trading versus being simply a lengthy sales pitch for your course and software. I'm absolutely sure that I could benefit tremendously from both the course and the software.....
Again, it was my pleasure to attend and to meet you, Jean, and Rae. I wish you all well in your foray into the marketing jungle and I hope you continue to have the attitude you currently have about not becoming a marketing company instead of an educational firm".

Traders' Resource: Courses and Seminars By Stocks & Commodities magazine
They say that the more you learn, the more you know you need to learn. This is true in trading. If you're not fully prepared when you go to trade, you could be the one that the smart money profits from.
Education is crucial in trading. If you don't step up to the line with the right tools and know-how to trade the markets, you may as well be gambling -- with the odds on the house's side. But help is available, in the way of courses, seminars, classes, manuals, books, tutorials, even mentors.
Readers often ask us how they can further their knowledge and skills in trading (that is, in addition to reading STOCKS & COMMODITIES!). Some readers write us asking about certification or degree programs in technical analysis, some want a schedule of upcoming seminars and conferences, and others seek personalized counsel or tutoring. Well, here it is -- your resource for current and upcoming courses and seminars. It's this month's Traders' Resource.
Readers may also want to check out our Readers' Choice Awards in the 2004 Bonus Issue of STOCKS & COMMODITIES for the category of Trading Centers/Schools/Training.

I am very satisfied with the valuable information contained in both "The Survival Guide For Traders" book and "The Trader's Assistant ™" trade posting & organizer. In addition, "The Trader's Assistant™" is easy to use and very useful. You all seem to have it well covered, thanks very much!
Dr. Dennis P.
Cincinnati, Ohio - November 2003
From A New "ART" Student.
"Hi Ben! Well, I'm still paper trading and next week will be 2 months of paper trading. I've decided to "focus" on the e-mini's ES and NQ of the CME. I'm still using e-Signal and I'm getting great results from ART techniques. By great I mean, I have not seen any drawdown yet of anything worse than 3 trades. I'm still "scalping" on most days as I do "day trading." I feel more comfortable scalping than I do trending with the e-mini's for now. I do not trade till after the markets have "calmed" down which is sometimes an hour after the markets have opened. Sure, I miss a lot of opportunities but that's ok with me. I prefer slower trading so I can get good prices at limits. I usually try to buy at the limit and sell at the limit as well. However if the market happens to be going very fast and I need to get out.....I will get out at the market.
My overall performance has been in the mid-eighties of which I'm very comfortable with. When I first started developing my methods using ART I found myself getting "way too excited" at times. Today and for the last two weeks.....I've been working on my "not getting excited" trading. So far so good. Getting too excited with the results or trading is way too stressful for me. I need to trade stress-free. I like to scalp "channels" for they are quiet. I make sure I trade in the general direction of the trend. If the trend is down....I make sure I get to the top of the channel to get good prices. If the trend is up.....I try to get good bottom prices. I don't trade against the "flow" for the most part. Ben, I've been quite happy with my progress and I feel I should be ready to do live trading on November 3rd. If I feel I need more time to "monitor" my emotions I will not trade till ready. I do feel I'm about ready and feel very confident though not overly confident.
Ben, I'm planning to come to California to see you trade and learn more....but I need to wait till January to find out what weeks I can get...... I understand you are very booked and will make sure I get in. I look forward to this. The other thing is.....about the Newsletter......is that in the membership section? If it is, I'd like to be a member and will forward a check via mail to you this coming weekend. I sure do want to read about, "scaling out of trades." I have read where some traders scale in trades as well and have always wondered about the theory of that. Scaling in and out of trades would be something I'd like to learn and practice. Thanks for the wonderful and very profitable techniques you have shared with your students. I'm a happy student and about ready to trade for real. Hope to hear from you at your convenience. Thanks for contacting me. I will keep in touch."

THE SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR TRADERS:
How to Set Up and Organize Your Trading Business
By Bennett A. McDowell ’79
98 pp. TradersCoach.com Press
In this straightforward guide, McDowell advises new market traders on how to succeed in the business. Step by step, he takes readers through today’s technology and shows how trading has become an accessible profession for those who want to develop their skills and pursue trading with a passion.
Reprinted From Syracuse University Magazine - Book Reviews
Spring 2001 Issue
"I just had to write and thank Ben for his help and support...I have known him for five years now, and my fellow financial advisors and I were very skeptical about his Elliott Wave Theory. Even though we took some of his stock tips and made money, we still had our questions.
As time went by, I came to really respect Ben's market knowledge. As my business grew, I called Ben to get advice on making sure it was a good time to buy or sell. I didn't day trade, but knew we could take advantage of the swings in the market. Over two years ago, Ben told me the DOW was going to possibly as low as 7,500 and the NASDAQ to at least 1,500, if not lower....you can imagine my surprise and disbelief. When Qualcomm split 4 for 1, he told me it was going into the 40's...even though I still felt skeptical, I called all my clients with Qualcomm. and told them we needed to sell...they were so happy we did. A year and a half ago, I started telling my clients we were going to sell tech positions, including Cisco and Lucent...of course, people had those as core holdings, and were reluctant, but I was insistent they do this. Those people were so thankful. As a matter of fact, I have since gone into another part of the investment industry, and don't have my own clients anymore.
However, two of my former clients called after the World Trade Center tragedy, and thanked me for selling out those tech positions. One of them said, 'I don't know how you knew, Mandy,' and I told them I has a little bird on my shoulder, and his name is Ben. He said that guy must be a genius.
Anyway, I'm so glad I know Ben, and that he has helped me personally, and in the lives of many happy clients."
M.J. Financial Advisor

"Dear Bennett, I downloaded 'The Trader's Survival Guide' and read it all today. I already feel a difference and I realize that you indeed put things in an easy to understand format. I have had a seminar that gave out a Trader's Business Plan, however the format was so complicated that I was reluctant to really fill it out and make it work. I have started it, stopped, started, stopped. Your business plan format seems much more workable to me and more geared toward the full-time trader working independently.
I have kept good records, however your 'card' idea is fantastic. I bought index cards and a box today plus a ledger. I think manually writing my trades down and focusing on pilot error vs. draw-down is going to help in spades. I trade only the S&P e-mini and the SPY. I 'know' where I am in my equity, but I am going to have to start writing it down like a real business if I ever expect to profit like a business.
I very much like the Survival Guide it really reached me on MY level. Sometimes when traders are not ready for a lesson, they just can't focus on it, but I believe I am ready and your material works for me."

"Just wanted to let you know I received "The Trader's Assistant", it's an excellent
concept and looks to be very workable. I also wanted to let you know that I like your "Hit List", it will help me see how you look at the markets better.
I enjoy working with you and am looking forward to our meeting on Friday.
Thank You.
Sincerely,

Bill M. Williams', Ph.D., C.T.A. - Foreword To
"The Survival Guide For Traders" (first edition)
"Trading can be a very lonely business and there are in all trader's lives where they need a knowledgeable friend who is on their side. Plus a trader's stock in trade is their ability to understand and communicate with the various markets which have different standards, procedures, and operations. There is plenty to do figuring out which trades will be the most profitable without cluttering your mind with operational details.
What you need is a good guide that is accurate and simple. A guide that will cover the important aspects of Business Plans, handling financial details, Legal concerns, Record Keeping, and where to go to advance your trading business.
My long term friend and trading buddy, Bennett McDowell has done the trading public a great favor by gathering all this valuable material into one place and then making it easy to understand and arranging it to be the most practical and easily accessible knowledge in this market today.
I highly recommend this book ("The Survival Guide For Traders") to both novices and professional. I have been in the business for over 40 years and I have found in this book things to help my efficiency in operating a "for profit" trading business. Do yourself a favor, study this book, follow its advice, and go for the GOLD!"

TradersCoach.com launches Website for trading novices
FYI -- TradersCoach.com is a Website designed to help both new and novice traders improve their skills. Owned and operated by Bennett McDowell, an active trader who manages trading accounts, this site offers a service focusing on all aspects of trading. Bennett has studied with trader Bill Williams, Ph.D., and Justine Williams at Profitunity Trading Group.
Bennett started the service to explain trading ideas in language that everyone can understand, and the Internet offers a more interactive environment than what a cassette course alone can offer. The Website offers help with trading psychology for traders having difficulty with executing their trading signals, and helps traders explore what obstacles they may be encountering in their trading, whether their problems stem from the choice of system the trader is using or whether the trader's approach is compatible with his or her psychology.
The service offers a free half-hour phone consultation.

"I became acquainted with Ben of 'TradersCoach.com' shortly after completing the 'Profitunity' Trading Course given by Dr. Bill Williams, PhD & Justine Williams who both recommended Ben. I was interested in Ben's 'Trading Coach' approach. I feel like I have learned a lot in a short period of time with the added benefit of Ben being there to help me stay out of trouble due to my inexperience. I think Ben can increase one's learning curve and avoid the 'school of hard knocks.' ...."

"I am a little bias in my recommendation for a Trading Coach or mentor because I spent years on my own trying to trade without much success until I started working with Ben McDowell of TradersCoach.com. And now I am slowly turning my trading around to where it has become more profitable as I learn to understand myself and the Market better."
