That would be very useful!!!! :)

Hi Leanne,

If you go on any training course on trading I'm sure you will find that alot of it is based on classic Dow Theory as this is the foundation of technical analysis. I have read many books and attended many seminars and I can tell you that I have not read about quite a bit of what he teaches. As he says he has attended the seminars and read the books so you don't have to. It is often difficult to glean from books what is useful and what is not - which techniques work well and which don't and to gather a good strategy for trading.

I believe that if two people go and were to use the discount I am offering that this would be good value for money for two days of training.

As they say time is money - sure you can spend ages reading books and websites but the advantage of a course like this is you get a lot of information in a short period of time.

Take a look at my other post - there is a free seminar and you can certainly learn some good information from these - the last one with David Jones was excellent especially for free.

Darren is a good speaker and often people are motivated easier by seminars. If you have the motivation to learn yourself then that is good too. I don't have my hyperlinks on this machine (new laptop) but will post some good websites later.

As mentioned before I am willing to do one to one tuition but unfortunately I would have to charge more than 2% of price of Darrens course.

Cheers

Paul

P.S If you can think of something you could swap for this training then I would consider it.

Thanks Paul - a very informative post!

I will give some thought as to what I can offer you to swap for training.

Cheers,
Leanne

Paul (and others)

When you are trading, do you have an account in your own name, a limited company, or an offshore structure? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Cheers,

Leanne

I am a bit new to this, but:

I have just booked onto Darren Winters 2-day course, and was wondering if anybody would like to share the £1450 fee???

I am normal, don't smell and generally agreeable...also 25 years old...

ress dan,

I went to the D.W free seminar a couple of months ago. Talking to one of the Ushers (KEN). They said they would find me a partner if I had no one to bring along.

There is a further £200 (well £100 for you) referal discount to be expolioted. Ken also offered this to me!

On that note, I think you should only pay half and let them find new memembers.

let us know how you found the cousre ... And how quick do you think you will get back your total investment

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

thanks for that...will see what I can get...

I attended the free course last night, and I've got to say I've never been more sceptical about anything since hearing about Elvis being found alive and well on a bus on the moon.

From his sales technique, I would wager that Darren Winter's background is in door to door sales rather than the stock exchange. (buy it right this minute, love, the price is going up tomorrow, it's a bargain...)

My suspicions were aroused when he told us that he'd studied with many successful traders by 'working for them for free'. I imagine the saving of £100 a day for a temp made a big difference to those guys...

My suspicions were confirmed when the core of his technique came to light. Basically, he draws lines through graphs. His first one is the 'double bottom', where he tells us his rule that if a stock goes down then up, then down to the first level, then the next thing is it will go up. Like where's the empirical basis for that? If you look at any stock graph, that doesn't actually happen.

He then covers that up, by showing us a whole load of graph shapes, and saying that any one of these is what's happening. You just have to match the shape to the stock graph you're looking at. Well, yes, but you can only do that with hindsight, as you don't know which way the line is going to curve next. And if you have hindsight, you don't need a formula.

He keeps on about how simple it is, and how everyone can do it. Let's assume that this part is true, and let's also suppose that the many professional traders out there are not completely ignorant, and so have gotten wind of Darren's technique. (This much he'd confirm; he claims to have trained many of them.) Wouldn't that volume of capital waiting to pick up a share that falls below £x, knock the price above £x every time it teetered below.

He also got a write up in the guardian, and it shows that he told one or two porkies:

You've got to wonder, if he's so desperate that he had to tell lies to get people to sign up to his £3100 course, he probably isn't making all that much from his trading activities. And if he can't make it work, what chance do you have?

Incidently, his technique is very very different from that of Warren Buffet; which is surprising if he studied with him. Maybe you're better off reading about Buffy's success instead - you know that Buffet's genuine.
