What People Are Saying About Tradecraft
“I want to thank you for sharing your insight and knowledge of the stock market. You have a rare gift of wisdom as defined on multiple levels.” – Jack
“I’ve probably read over 200 books about the stock market in the last 25 years. This one is in my “Top Five.” Its also a steal for the price. The info on “What to Avoid” and “what to Look For” could easily save 100X the purchase price in the next one or two trades” — Greg K
“Gene – I have studied your book (couldn’t put it down until I finished it). It echoes much of what I learned in the Professional Trading courses I have taken (“Think Like A Market Maker”) but takes it to a whole new level for me. I’m not sure why you are going through all this trouble to write these articles exposing your “trade secrets” and years of analysis data but I really do appreciate them. I have studied most of your past trades – Some are uncannily accurate. Thanks for the heads up on liquidating. I will be watching the market closely Monday.” — Dave L
“Gene – thank you for your response. I completely agree with your methodology and have read a number of your articles (EMC, GE, F, PG, HD, NEM, and more). Averaging into any new position is by far the wise thing to do. I apologize if my comments on Ford sounded critical, and I did notice your heavy emphasis on cutting losses (without the use of stops!) in all of your posts …
The reason I ask if ford is still a buy, and if you still maintain the $12 – $15 target is because I have had F on my watch list for several months. Since June 2011, the price has been trading in a range (10s -12s). I agree with your post that F could move to the $12s and up, and just thought I’d ask. Its been great the last few days sharing ideas and hope to hear back when you have more time. Until then, I will continue to visit your website for more reading. Regards, — Andrew
"Thank you so much Gene for sharing your information. I just made a tidy profit on AVP yesterday thanks to you (bought at $14.38 sold at $16.40)! Coincidentally I also own CAT – I think it has potential to double.
Glad to see you are also long. I will look to exit 1/2 position on CAT based on your recommendations around 94 and then maybe p/u again on a dip. I bought F at $9.57, missed that one a bit, but I’ll take 4% any day. I look forward to following your blog – and good trading!" – Arlene
"Gene – I just want to let you know that I am really enjoying your book and think that you are right on the money with your approach. I have long known that Wall Street was nothing less than the carney and casino taken to a whole new level of sophistication — and even knew a bit about how market makers work — but never really considered how to beat them at their own game.
Although I have a lot more to digest, it is clear that your approach is unique and brilliant! One question: are there any other published materials out on the topic that you recommend? Thanks," – Al
"Gene – It was very kind of you to share your thoughts about your book. It’s absolutely the missing link to successful trading! You are one smart guy, my friend. Regards" – Larry
"Gene – Wow, another humdinger of a recommendation. You are on fire! I’d give you a high five if I could." – Mike
"Gene – Thanks so much for your reply. I wanted to read your book before writing you again. I’ve now finished reading it. I enjoyed your insights in it very much. I’ve begun to incorporate this view of the world in all my activities. It really does take some getting used to. Because so much of what I believed was the exact opposite of what really occurs. The insights you’ve given me are incredibly valuable."
"I’ve been reading your emails and tracking the trades to identify the setups on Stockcharts.com. Using 1 minute interval charts, you can roughly guess what the DMM is attempting to do with the merchandise. Tracking their paw marks and figuring out the direction that their going in is an art form. But as you point out again and again, the volume does give them away."

"Thank you for the insights and the knowledge." Sincerely, – Paul
