I started trading in 2004. I wanted to know all I can about trading. I bought books, DVD’s, automated software and had taken a couple of courses. What I learned was all the indicators, and patterns, and moving averages in the market. I paid for information and no game plan. I was eager to become a trader, but due to the lack of success, I was ready to give up. I came across one of the Pristine DVD’s I had in my collection. It said something that caught my attention, “Every single dip in an uptrend is a buyable event”. I wanted to learn this, buy fear and sell to greed. I called Nicoma at Pristine, I stated I read Pristine’s book and watched a couple of Pristine’s DVD’s, what more can I learn from taking the TPM1. Can you justify me paying almost $3,000.00 for a course? Nicoma stated I only learned about 15% of what Pristine teaches through the book (“Tools and Tactics for the Master Day Trader”) and DVD. I was very skeptical due to everybody claiming to have all the trading techniques. After about a week of going through the Pristine’s website and talking to Nicoma, I decided to take a chance on TMP1. Result the course was FANTASIC and worth every penny if not more. The course gave the market meaning. Instead of a bunch of information it taught the necessary information to make money. The course gave me a plan and a direct course of action and how to take it. Recently I have taken the TPM2, and have enrolled for the Trading Gaps and Lab 1 (Thank you Robin). If you are looking for meaning to the market and an objective way to trade, try the TPM1 and you will hunger for more. Also I can’t forget the online coaching which help put everything together. One class in particular, “Pattern Recognition” taught by Ron Wagner, which has taught me how to be patient.

Thank you Pristine,

Tom,

I sat in on the workshop tonight. Very nice job. THANK YOU!

I just want to tell you that the constant teaching that goes on in the Free Workshops, PMTR and courses is just amazing. I will be traveling to Miami on Friday for TPM II with Greg this weekend and I look forward to that expanding my understanding of the whole method.

After struggling through the first two weeks of September at basically break-even, more and more is beginning to sink in. I have now had six winning days in a row totaling over $8K. I took TPM I less than 2 1/2 months ago (once self-study online and once with Ron online). My account is up $16.5K, 11%, in less than 2 1/2 months!! And I really don't need the size account I have for the trades I am taking.

Now, I am still making a ton of mistakes. I see them every night reviewing my activity for the day. There is still a lot of work to be done, but if I can do this on a consistent basis it will be truly amazing.

I am sure I will sending you more questions and trades for your comments, especially after getting TPM II under my belt. I would like to get the reading list you mentioned tonight if possible.

I get most of my watch list for intraday from the gainers and losers scan in RealTick and some stocks I watch come from the PMTR room each day. I will trade some of your calls and many of Susie's on a little longer time frame.

The PMTR is a constant training center and for me that may be the biggest benefit.

I want to thank you for the help. Just knowing you are available to answer questions makes all the difference, and I know there will be many times I will seek advice.

Thanks again, and hopefully we will meet in person at some point. If you ever want to visit New Orleans, just let me know. I have a corporate apartment in the city I can offer you as accommodations for a weekend or longer when available.

Greg –

Awesome seminars yesterday – thank you! I removed all of the indicators from my charts this morning, and with the help of Ken Guynes (fellow PMTR trader), I have my Tradestation workspace populated with the market internals. I found my self almost pulling the trigger on a couple of trades this morning, then remembered the internals – took a look, and sure enough, the internals were not in line with my strategy. Minutes later, the stocks retraced and would have resulted in losses.

Also, I have been in the PMTR for a couple of months now – I believe right after the conversion to the new format. Avery is awesome – I have learned a lot from him. Susie too. I also find myself laughing out loud at some of his humor. I find it easy to ask him any “dumb” question – he provides a tremendous amount of education on the Pristine trading methods every day. His gap seminar was great as well.

It’s my plan to meet you soon at a TPM II. I’m hanging on by a thread – I’ve been at this for a couple of years, and was close to hanging it up. But I am now hitting some “singles”, and I see light at the end of the tunnel. I am now confident, more than ever, that I will be able to make a career out of trading (thanks to Pristine!). I truly love what I am doing – especially when I think I am finally learning to trade the “right way”.

Anyway – thanks again – looking forward to your new DVD series.

Best Regards -

Herb S.

Hi Avery,

We just want to say thanks for your lesson yesterday after the close. Seeing the examples of TPM 1 and 2 theory using current charts is invaluable for us. Lot's of "A HA-s!" and "Of Course-s.” I certainly don't want to miss a single Monday after-market lesson.

Kudos to you and Susie for all your chat room lessons, too.

While I am just scalping, --mostly gaps-- there is so much I learn from Susie because of her detailed explanations.

The "New Pristine" is great! Love the added bonus of Greg and Simon, too.

I can't imagine any other staff of any other company being so customer responsive!

Bobbi S.

Hi Ron,

Wow, what an incredible TPM2 weekend. Two days with your expert tutelage does more for my attitude and batting average than reading 100 books or reviewing 1000 charts.

For me success is all about focus. Focus on my plan, focus on my trades and focus on my education. You Ron, inspire that focus with your mastery and passion for the subject. You truly have the mind of a master and the heart of a teacher.

The more I learn the more I see I need to learn, and you never seem to tire of the endless questions from me and others in the room.

Like many of your students I have extensive experience in the business world. I can honestly say that I have never run into an instructor with your combination of knowledge and desire to make your students successful.

I sincerely appreciate your continued guidance and inspiration.

Kurt M.

Just a wonderful Thank You…to the both of you at the two onsite meetings recently in Colorado.

Greg, your 2 day, 7 DVD seminars were incredible. A lot of information but much needed to make me a more rounded, aware trader. I have begun to use the internals you presented, slowly analyzing their affect to trading. It was a pleasure to hear you speak.

Ron, you are the best instructor for trading one can have. I love your approach. Keep it simple and follow your trading plan. I have a KISS sign at home in my trading office.

When I find myself getting a little off the path (easier than I thought) I re-listen to the 2 DVD's we were given at TPM1 and TPM2. These get me back on track and I notice my trades greatly improve. Again, from what you have taught us, repetition! Also, I read my trading plan all the time to keep me focused.

I have attended the Denver SIG group, and Pristine's Free online workshops and also tried out the Daily Trading Room for the last 2 days. All amazing.

But what I want to finished with is, your constant education classes are wonderful and are very much needed for a successful trading career. Very glad you are doing all the education on a consistent basis. But, to me, these classes, seminars, etc. keep me on track, goal oriented and excited and motivated to take my trading journey with you and all the other traders. You have a wonderful thing going!

Michelle M.

Dear Ron,

I just wanted to thank you again for the incredible amount of time you spent with all of us in teaching TPM 2. Also, I wanted to especially thank you for answering all of my questions.

TPM 2 was amazing!!!! I truly feel I have most of the tools needed to become a successful intra-day trader. I say "most of the tools," because I know there is no substitute for actually taking trades (paper and real) and gaining actual market experience. Obviously, this does not mean I will instantly be a hugely profitable trader. However, I feel with the tools that I now posses, along with your generous offer to work with me over the next several weeks, Pristine will give me an excellent chance to succeed.

I look forward to working with you.

Thanks again,
Brian R.

The best place for me to empty my wallet was into my head rather than the markets when I started trading. As I look back, I am sure glad my training was with Ron Wagner. His attention to detail and help to participants after the seminars was great. We all learn a little differently - the repetition and clarification provided after the seminar from Ron while I was actually putting my new knowledge to use was super and could not be found in any book, advisory service or other training. This is what separates Pristine's education division from the crowd.

Tom B.

Hi Avery,

I have to tell you that taking your gap classes and listening to you when I can have made so much difference. I’m certainly not getting rich (yet), but many mornings I make a trade or two based on what you taught, and I generally make a couple hundred dollars; I’m only risking about $100-$200 per trade, depending on my confidence in the trade. Anyway, I just thought I’d let you know that you’ve made a big difference for me, at least with the gap trading.

Thanks a lot for your help.

David J.

Awesome seminar yesterday. It was a retake for me and really enjoyed the additions that you have made since I last took it. Very helpful. Especially the last half.

Thanks,

Pam B.

Avery

Just wanted to thank you again for the great Gap Class. It was well put together, very organized, well presented and had a wealth of information for us day traders.

Thanks again for the great class

Chuck E. (Lotus in RTR)

Greg

I would like to introduce myself. I am Robert B. from TMPII this past weekend. I would like to thank you for the class. It was a monumental learning experience for me. I tried some of the new techniques I learned this weekend for a first time today. I bought NETL gap above the base after a 5 minute high (33.15) and sold at 34.50 doing bar by bar analysis. Bar by bar analysis kept me objective and focused on what was happening in the trade without my emotions getting me out too soon or concentrating on the money. Everyday since the class I have studied a chapter to make sure that I have the concepts down correctly. This is what I needed to advance me in my technical studies. Again, thanks to you and Bryan for talking me into taking this class.

Robert A. B.

Ron,

I know you are busy so I'll be brief. My experience is like many others. Interest in trading leads to software and newsletter purchases, hours of watching MSNBC and a myriad of e-mails which all tell me what the market is doing. Trouble is few of these agree.

Your explanation of the Pristine Method was a breath of fresh air and was so hopeful.

Thank you.

Tony H.

Ron:

First of all, many, many thanks for a fantastic Online TPM I and a truly enlightening learning experience. Never having thought about trading this way (I have principally been a buy and hold person), you have opened up new doors for me which is truly exciting. Additionally, your teaching was absolutely top notch. If I can accomplish 5% of what you have done in your trading career, I will consider myself very fortunate.

Please let me know once you've finalized plans for your TPM 1 onsite course (the first one after May.) This time around, I also plan to bring my wife to the onsite event. Since she is at home all day and interested in trading, I believe she can really use this much more frequently (multiple times a day) than I can with my current situation. My goal is to become a professional trader myself; I know that I have taken the first step in that direction with you and Pristine.

Thanks a lot again.

Avery,

I have been a full time trader for 16 months now. I managed to "survive" my first year through determination and probably luck. You talked me into taking TPM-1 in January and since then I have taken:

---> TPM-2 with Ron Wagner
---> Options class
---> Your Trading Gaps class
---> Joined the PMTR / ETR

Very happy to say, that I have finally broken out of the top of my trading account balance from 16 months ago.

I am making enough to live off of and also a little extra to build wealth.

Thanks to you, Ron and Greg.

I am a pristine customer for a long time!

Dorrel A.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your incredibly generous training and coaching. I have been an Investment Advisor for over twenty years and all my training and experience did not prepare me to properly day trade the futures as you have at Pristine. I am continually amazed at the depth of your knowledge and your ability to simplify the concepts and trading techniques to become so simple to understand. All I can say is "WOW" and THANK YOU!

I have come to absolutely love trading. It used to be quite frustrating when a trade would work and then it wouldn't and I couldn't figure out why. Now I know the things I was doing wrong and the frustration that I felt has also gone. Trading is truly enjoyable and most importantly, profitable! There is very little that feels the way a good trade does when it comes together just as planned, and that is something that I would not have been able to enjoy without you and Pristine. I have paid for your training and seminars many times over doing it "my way". The most inexpensive thing I have done was to become involved with Pristine.

I want to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy my experience with Pristine. I know Pristine is a rather large company with many customers, but you have made me feel like you were often times there for just me.

Thank you so very much

Neil H.

I have been trading five years. Three years before Pristine, and two years since. I wish I had found out about Pristine before. I would have saved a lot of money and avoided bad trading habits and hocus pocus indicator based methodology. I finally found the trading truth. Thank you Pristine!

Scott S.

Ron,

Thanks to your help with the trend thing, I was able to make 3 out 4 successful trades today.

--> Took 21 cents out BEAS
--> Lost 11 cents on CROX; I missed the eventual move.
--> Took 17 cents from MEDX
--> Took 13 cents from QLD, although it did not break out as I hoped.

Thanks,

Just a quick note to thank you again for the fantastic online options seminar this weekend. It went well beyond the "greeks" and truly tied in the consideration of the underlying instruments. If I had known enough about options this past Friday to detail what I should really know and understand about the subject to learn to trade them well, I know now it would have looked like the seminar you created and presented. I appreciate your sharing your extensive experience in trading options with us. I am looking forward to "digesting" the materials and developing a trading plan for options. The information you have shared went well beyond any other course or book I have attempted to use to understand options. Over the coming weeks I hope to move from simply using puts and calls as a surrogate for the underlying stocks to using the great strategies you presented this weekend.

About 6 years ago after one of the first TPM II's in White Plains you met several of us in the Trading Room the next morning for an hour or so of some "show and tell". Wal Mart had gapped down on news and you went through the logic of buying the climatic bottom. I learned a lot in that short period of time and still mentally refer to "the Wal Mart" play when looking at a big gap downs on news. This seminar was like that hour in White Plains, it had the same great quality of instruction throughout, and it lasted a lot longer. I know what you imparted will have a significant impact on my trading in the weeks and years ahead.

Thanks again for all you have created in this seminar, it is certainly another of the "tools of excellence" offered by Pristine and its excellent cadre of instructions.

Sincerely,

John R.

Thank you for creating such an excellent options seminar. I'm ordering a 4th monitor for options trading.

My jaw is still dropped open over the awesomeness!

Chris G.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for an outstanding class and congratulations again on your VP of education appointment. Pristine definitely picked the right man for the job and especially for the students. I got back late Monday night and have been pulling together all the notes and golden nuggets of information ever since. It was really great to re-take your live class now that I've had more opportunity to actually trade the markets. I told my wife that your enthusiasm and knowledge for all aspects of trading the markets is infectious.

Thanks again,

I just bagged my first $1000 winner today….thanks to you….The checks in the mail ;-)

I shorted JAV on Friday, and just covered this morning. It was a classic CSS…Up 3 big bars, TT, COG and extended.

I’m pretty excited….going to buy a cigar.

Thanks again for all your help and encouragement.

John P.

Hi Greg,

I wanted to tell you that since I took your Trading The Pristine Method – Part II seminar back in September of 2006, my eyes were opened to a new world of trading. I have been studying the manual rigorously and have greatly improved my trading! I have put myself to the ultimate test; that is trading by myself. I have three months by myself under my belt and doing very good. I plan to trade 6 – 12 months alone then join the Advanced Trading Room again, just because I love it and miss all the guys there! I also wanted to tell you that Pristine is the best trading educational school by far! PRISTINE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Jaime & Dinorah L.

I've enjoyed learning to trade options with you in the ATR these past months. During this past expiration period (Feb-Mar), I achieved my best result so far: losses of only 2 Risk Units and wins of an incredible 18 Risk Units! Although Option trading comprised only 20% of the trades I made last period, the option strategies I've learned from you account for just over half of last month's winnings! With such a result, I feel compelled to give option trading a more prominent place in my trading day. Thanks a million! (Well, not quite yet, but getting there :-))

Tom F.

Last week provided huge gains in NFI and LEND. Today was a monster trade in AGIX that yielded around 30% return on equity in about 3 minutes!

Thanks bro…I hope the PMTR got a nice slice of the pie too!

Larry S.

Susie H.

Ron,

Sincere kudos for a very complete and well-presented Trading The Pristine Method - Part I course. Your frequent and quick-witted humor, use of current market examples and ability to stick with the clock and the agenda attest to your preparation, trading and training skills for an introductory course that you know so well. And yet you were able to keep the information vibrant and current. I had attended 6 to 8 of your free evening presentations, learned much from each, and decided it was time to make the investment.

You dwelt on matters that required explanation and examples, and recommended areas that we should explore on our own from the complete and well-documented manual. Although we spent many hours of focused presentation and review, the enthusiasm and interest generated made the time fly and diminished the physical and emotional drain from the long hours.

I benefited immediately from the course, experiencing better entry and exits on trades, recognizing which opportunities to ignore, and taking higher gains with staged selling (rather than whole position) in a rising (and peaking) market.

Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm. You have illustrated that it is possible to survive in this competitive business, if only we have and use the appropriate tools and training.

Sincerely,

Edward C. B.

Dear Simon,

I want to thank you so much for putting on a most educational Trading The Pristine Method – Part I seminar -- it really opened my eyes on technical analysis, as well as the proper ways to trade the market. I particularly appreciated your emphasis for us the students to first create a trading plan, and then to use it to guide our trading/learning activities.

Sincerely,

Larry Y.

Hello Master (Ron),

Just wanted to let you know how things are going. I have been doing well the past week. I'm following my plan to the letter, carefully selecting my PBS and PSS setups, checking the MA's, watching the Tick and Trin for entry positions as well as intraday reversal times. I've been carefully selecting my entry points per my plan, and honoring my stops (actually haven't had any of my picks hit stops lately). All in all, I'm feeling much more relaxed and confident thanks to you and your guidance.

Take care,

John P.

Hi Ron,

I wanted to thank you for the great TPM II course this past weekend. It exceeded all my expectations. I began putting my newfound knowledge to work the first day by not trading and just observing. It is amazing what you can see if you're not caught up in a trade.

I believe that I have been trading far too many strategies and that this has hindered my becoming a master at any of them. I have decided to limit myself to two intraday strategies, the PBS and the breakout. I am going to focus on the PBS until I have reached 75% wins and worked my share size up 3000 before adding the breakouts. I am also reducing the number of trades I take and look to average 3-4 per day. My share size is currently 600 and I will raise it after two weeks at 75% and 3:1. I am rewriting my trading plan to reflect these changes.

I made three trades this week. Two winners and one loser with a 2.98:1 win$ to loss$ ratio. In addition, I missed two trades where the price moved so fast I didn't get filled. I am unwilling to anticipate or chase at this point. These two would also have been nice winners.

Thanks again for the time and effort you put into this past weekend.

Fred M.

Hello Ron!

While my fiance Amanda is a product of The Pristine Method, I took part in one of your competitor's programs. I am ashamed and embarrassed to admit that I fell victim to the "Sure, you can turn $2,000 into $60,000 by the end of the program year!" I bit (and hard!) on their big, unrealistic promise...and they (not me) went laughing to the bank! A year later, I am still paying down the $19,500 on my credit card - and yes, it hurts.

After speaking to Amanda about her experience with Pristine, I can only say that I am beyond impressed - you guys are the real deal. No gimmicks, no fakery, no false promises. Just an absolutely sincere desire to teach your students the techniques and proper mind set that, if adhered to, will put us well on our way to successful trading. In short, I have learned from the rest and am excited to now learn from the best! I have really enjoyed your past two seminars (gap/guerrilla trading tactics and market internals) and I am very impressed by your teaching style and sincerity.

Amanda and I are BEYOND excited to be spending the weekend with you soon for TPM1!

We can't wait - we positively love this stuff!

Sincerely,

Todd

Ron,

Thank you for your workshop Friday night. It was entertaining and informative.

I am currently trying to free up my schedule to see if I might be able to join one of your upcoming TPM1 classes. I have been trading a long time and already have a lot of the information you gave, just not in the Pristine terminology, but I seem to have some trouble putting all together. I also want to cut down on the amount of time I spend on the market for the reward I get. I was particularly impressed with the trading statistics you have people keep on themselves as well as rating the actual trades.

Thanks again.

Jim H.

Thank you for all the answers…And Avery was kind enough to respond with answers also.

I've been with Pristine for seven months and was brand new to the Markets a year ago (screwed up and started with Investools).

These are my results from 10 trading days over the last 3 weeks (now that I have no fear, all of a sudden I got so confident. Actually it really was right after I watched your new DVD): Out of the last 10 trading days, I’ve only had 2 losing days, and they were less than the winning days (average winning day: $240, average losing day $170)!

I just have to increase reward (to max 1.5x's trading capital), and get even better at staying a little longer in the trade and go by the charts and internals to get out, not the fact I made $XXX for day.

Regards,

Michael J. H.

Just a short note to once again say thank you for teaching Trading The Pristine Method – Part II in Calgary this last weekend. It is apparent that you care about your students by showing sincerity, integrity, stamina, and enthusiasm for what you and Pristine do. The course was a strong affirmation of what I have been learning and introduced some new perceptions that will allow the market to speak to me even more clearly.

All the best and good luck,

Calvin H.

Hi Avery,

Just dropping you a note to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated your Gap class. It’s nice to hear that you've lost none of your enthusiasm. :-)

Seriously, that was the best, most complete lecture I’ve ever heard on the topic of trading gaps. In retrospect, I have to agree with the policy of requiring Trading The Pristine Method – part I prior to taking the class. I was inundated with basic questions through out your lecture. My advice would be not to allow novice traders to sit in on the class if anyone should ask your opinion. It’s too distracting and the importance of the material is just not fully comprehended by the uninitiated.

Your notes are excellent. I paid a pretty penny to have them copied (color) and bound, but it was well worth it as I have already been able to review the material. The addition of a few more charts as examples would be helpful during the lecture. This is not meant as a criticism, just an opinion.

Even though I currently have a good deal of success with trading gaps, I picked up enough good information and new ideas that it was well worth investing my time. I especially liked the idea of putting a watch list into ESP and using it to just scan that list. When you mentioned it, I slapped my forehead and said “schmuck”, why didn’t I ever think of that before?

I’ll be sure to post your name when I sign up for ESP this week.

As a side note; the education provided at Pristine is just simply unsurpassed. While I truly like the RDFN room and enjoy their technology, they just don’t come close to the education in the PMTR or the ATR. What sets Pristine apart is a method. Without a system or method to approach the markets, many new traders are just in over their heads. It’s hard enough even when you have one.

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Larry S.

Hi Avery,

I really pushed you today, peppering you with many questions and comments; appreciate your patience during a hard work day.

Seriously, a trader who learns this material could make a very nice living…Just from your Gap material combined with Trading The Pristine Method – Part I. Very comprehensive and great seminar! Glad I took it.

Thanks.

James M.

Hi Bryan,

Great stuff....that MYTB. I took the course in July 2005 and the best part is that excel spreadsheet! Risk Per Trade (RPT), sharpe ratios, trending sharpe ratios, cummulative daily weekly and monthly sharpes...what else can I say!!

We are organized as an LLC in OH so that is also up to snuff. As you may know, I have also taken the E-mini Trading Lab and that is the majority of my trading focus....along with getting started core trading in my IRA.

For now I am spending some time this weekend making adjustments to the "Playsheet and Log" so I can use it for e-minis. At a minimum the quantity traded needs to be in tick or point multiples to make the profit/loss a readable amount on the spreadsheet.

Thanks for keeping me on your list.

Ben P.

Thanks again for an excellent seminar.

One of the take away's from your class for me was to "xray" into the bars to get tighter stops and entries.

With today's fall (DJI -416.02), I can thank you for my gains.

I know that a profit of $695 is not a lotto ticket, but I would have lost money today if I had not adjusted on your advice.

Take care,

Dorrel A.

Hi Avery,

I can't begin to tell you how much more I picked up this past weekend by repeating your Gap Seminar. I know I've heard you give it before, but listening a second time, every thing just falls into place so much better. Thank you so much for your time and interest in helping me. Seems like everyday I pick up something new from your 'dissertations' on the psychology of market trading.

Thanks Avery.

Just wanted to take a minute and thank you again for the great class. I wanted to take home 1-2 gems and I took a lot more.

The top items that helped me are.

Volume on 5 min Charts - Many other Pristine Instructors do not emphasize volume as you do.

Retracements - I was not using these properly and during a review found a good portion of my PBS failures were due to retracements exceeding 50%.

X-ray Gap analysis - This was huge for me. I typically look at a daily chart for gaps then the 5 minute pre-market to see the activity. I am going to analyze the daily closed bar for the congestion location to maximize morning opportunities. This was Great!

Measured moves - I am going to build into my plan measured moves as a location for profit. I have not done this before.

Quality of setup - I typically take between 10-15 trades per day of these (1-3 are nice winners, 3-6 are average winners, 3-6 are small losses and 1-2 are larger losses. The large losses are due to overconfidence in the pattern and not following my money management guidelines pushing up the share size to high. It is Very clear to me that once I take the top of the top and play within my money management guidelines I can improve my profitability significantly.

Thanks again and Nice job on the class. It was by far the most educating and most organized. I really enjoyed the extras you put into the class.

Jeff Q.

Hi Greg,

I attended Ron Wagner's workshop last night to review his presentation on sectors and internals. I already mentioned I took TPM1 and TPM2 from Ron over the past couple years in Denver and it's only appropriate and timely while I am writing to add my most sincere acknowledgement, with many others I am sure, to Ron for what he does for folks in getting them closer to realizing their aspiration to trade using the Pristine Method. The enthusiasm he radiates for trading is contagious and the genuine helpful service mentality and extra mile efforts he shares working with students after the seminars speaks great merit. I understand you may be taking him away from us somewhat for new responsibilities and it is easy to see why he would be such a fine choice.

Thanks for your help in getting me into a TPM2 class.

Tom B.

I have to tell you, Pristine set-ups are good, and have changed my 'trading life', but the way you teach gaps has made all the difference. I've gone from losses to profits (albeit not much yet because I'm still using small position sizing) because of the way you've taught gap trading. Now that I understand them, it's like the light came on, and although stock movement is often unpredictable, using the methodology you teach has greatly increased the odds of picking winners versus losers for me. I can't thank you enough.

Again, thanks.

David J.

I normally don't respond to these offers, however out of respect for Pristine (or more specifically Greg), I wanted to respond with a thank you and I respectfully pass on your offer. I have been thru Trading The Pristine Method Part I and II and Managing Your Trading Business in addition to all the DVD’s offered. At this point I consider myself a self directed trader and prefer to live or die by my own hand. I actually never stopped rereading the TPM I and II manuals and have reread them many times and continue to reread them every day.

Trading is my passion and I have evolved to become what I consider extremely profitable, mostly because of the teachings of Greg for which I am ever grateful--more than he could know.

Greg changed my life and my family's life for the better. And, because I am now a portfolio manager for a major financial services firm he in no small part positively affected the lives of my clients as well.

I would appreciate you forwarding this really heartfelt thank you to him on my behalf.

Best Regards,

Vic A.

If anyone should hesitate to sign up for Trading The Pristine Method – Part II (TPM 2), as I initially did (for many years), I say only that the basic curriculum TPM 2 explanations are so clear, plentiful and helpful that I am sorry to have not listened and learned earlier.

TPM 2 provides a Reference and Guide to reading the Market that makes sense. It teaches how to read the market in a rational way. It has allowed me to settle into a financial and psychological ease.

My understanding and my odds of being profitable have gone from ignorance to understanding.

This course is a necessary foundation.

Many thanks, Fran L.

To fellow traders,

It has been over a year since my wife and I first started studying with Pristine, and we have had the privilege to be schooled by Greg, Susie, and Avery. We decided to go with Pristine’s PhD program, and although it takes a lot of work to get through it, the lessons we have learned have proven to be invaluable. Truly, if you want to make some real money, Pristine is the vehicle you need to accomplish that goal. The principals of Pristine, Pristine as a company, and also people at MasterTrader (Pristine-owned subsidiary broker house) are the best professionals with most integrity and morals we have seen in this industry. MasterTrader is a great broker to do business with, as they cater to all your needs. We would like to especially thank Pristine’s coaches for their incredible commitment to his students’ success, which goes far beyond the call of duty.

Surely, any business that you start requires capital and time investment; trading is no different. However, the advantage here is that there are virtually no limits regarding how much money you can make, little to no overhead, and zero traffic to “get in”. I’d like to suggest to everybody to “not be penny wise and million foolish” when it comes to your education. It is the foundation of your trading business, so take it seriously and do the Pristine’s PhD. program – it is worth its weight in gold!

Leo O.

I realize you receive a great deal of mail so I'd like to apologize for taking some of your time for this. I feel compelled, however, to convey to you while it's still new, my incredible sense of gratitude for your work and desire to pass on your knowledge.

I was lucky enough to come across your book a few weeks ago and attended your online TPM1 seminar this past weekend. In as few words as possible......it felt like I had finally found a home after wandering through the wilderness alone. Sappy? Yes, but indeed still true.

Your work and teachings go straight to the heart of what I absolutely knew in my gut to be true about the markets, and how the patterns of fear and greed will always repeat themselves.

I look forward to meeting you in person when I take my refresher course.

Take good care and be well,

I really enjoy the ENERGY you bring to us in your presentations and class.  Far too few instructors understand the value of this.  You are a rare and VALUED species!

Tim H.

Thanks for a life changing weekend!

Best Regards,

Thank you for the seminar you gave on Tuesday 8, Aug. I have been following the Pristine Method® of candle sticks for several years.

I received a tape on Swing Trading, it came with the book "Tools & Tactics For The Master Day Trader".

I would like to see more of a presence from Pristine in Vancouver...year round. I realize it that takes people and probably more than you are getting in response at this time. Too bad.

Pristine is quite unique, unlike most I have seen in this area...much more comprehensive and professional.

The Swing Trading tape has helped me developed in conjunction with and other articles as well as books build a profitable trading system. I would like to see the trading system you have so most graciously offered. I was told at one of Pristine's seminars that to be an instructor you would have to take all of their courses. That shows me a high level of commitment.

One thing I have discovered is that I will never conquer, or outsmart the market; however I can consistently take profits from them.

Yours,

Ron H.

I want to personally thank you for your weekend TPM1 seminar. It was my first Retake and I found that it made a greater impact than the initial seminar.

Once again, thank you.

Alex

After six long years of not making money and thinking that some jealous person put a bad spell on me, I just found out that the market is a mechanism like the old swiss watches that requires precision to work smoothly and thanks to you that the market is not "out to get me" unless I let it.

I could go on and on but there must hundreds of lost traders needing your attention.

Thank you for all your teachings!

Victor R.

I sent you an email earlier in the week. I look forward to meeting you . I mentioned to Avery that I have been keeping track of your ideas and gave you credit for even for the one’s I missed due to poor execution. This would have been a very profitable week ( + $10,000 so far---and that is only with 1000 shr lots) – had I done all of them.

I have done TPM II Online and waited a couple weeks to give you my feedback. I am already attempting to re-schedule a refresher course because there is so much to learn. I already have the refresher CD which I must study. There is much to learn. I am NOT an expert! So what gives? Let me tell you, I know much more than I did before, and I am trading with a new-found confidence. I am also working on patience and discipline and trading with a much clearer view of the market. I did not understand why TPM II was needed after TPM I but man, you are cheating yourself if you do not take it. I URGE anyone who has the passion to succeed, PLEASE take TPM II.

Sincerely,

Alex S.

Great, well thought out strategies, clear explanations, inspiring instructors, beginners dream come true!

Adam W.

Fabulous seminar.  Excellent foundation, very well organized and presented.  It will serve as a way for me to start my development as a trader in multiple timeframes.

Alan D.

Great course!  Brought a lot of things together.  It was helpful to have such an experienced trader teach us.

Larry L.

I have been a proprietary trader and independent trader for 5 years, and I still learned a great deal. I recommend it for everyone.

Jason Y. L.

Hope you made it back to New York safe and sound!!

In case you forgot about me, I attended "The Pristine Method® Part I" that you presented in Calgary last weekend. I must say that the course was nothing short of fantastic. My eyes have been open to trading now forever it is safe to say. Of course, this course is only the first stepping stone for me in my trading life…which will be "life after engineering"!!!

I have already started using some of the methods already to read/analyze charts, look for entry points, failed PBS entries, etc.

Thanks again!!

Cheers...

Evan L. K.

I want to start by thanking you for this past weekend. I have done my fair share of training and I can tell you that this seminar was the best I have ever experienced. The content was great and was surpassed only by your outstanding teaching style. I feel that you put a lot of puzzle pieces in the right places for me. I have now reached a new 52 week high in my level of trading confidence. I cannot overstate the connection you forged between me and The Pristine Method® of trading and for that I am grateful (you are truly first class).

Best Regards,

Bob R.
Aspiring Trader

Gentlemen,

I just wanted to send a quick note and say thank you for your hospitality in White Plains this past weekend. Your constant involvement and support was much appreciated. You're no doubt good traders, but also good people. Definitely a unique selling point in this industry I've come to learn!

I wish you all the best, and look forward to seeing you all soon.

Best Regards,

Sandeep N.

I want to thank you for contributing to my best month ever. In December I had a batting average of 53% with a sharpe of 2.24. What I find even more encouraging is my consistency for the month, as I was up every week and had only 5 down days.

I think there were a few key factors contributing to these results:

1. Lowered my R by 1/2 about 6 weeks ago, so I am calmer and less emotional in my trading. Better at sticking to my plan.
2. Getting better at SOH and waiting for the best setups that are in my plan. Used to jump into plays because I was afraid of missing the next move. Now I am more content to sit and wait.
3. Adding gap plays to my arsenal. The gap coaching sessions have really helped. I was 6 for 6 on gap plays, with an average win of 2.3 R. Here also, I am waiting for the best setups, as evidenced by only 6 plays.

By the way, SOH today, so that is why I have time to write this.

Thanks Again,

Mark K.

If you recall, I was the first to sign-up for the recent The Pristine Method® II seminar in Irvine on Oct 29-30. This email is my response to the experience of the two days.

Value: exceptional
Satisfaction: exceptional
Content: exceptional
Instructor: exceptional
And on and on...

I was overwhelmed with the depth and quality of the information provided in the seminar. I was equally overwhelmed with Simon’s skills as an educator and a technical trader. TPM1 was good, but TPM2 is truly an exceptional value.

My work is cut out for me to “internalize” this material and take my trading to the next level. Pristine has done their part, and it is now up to me to apply the material.

Please pass on to Simon my thanks for a quality two days. His understanding of the material was eclipsed only by his ability to communicate it.

I’ve now been exposed to the Pristine staff through seminars and coaching: Avery Meizner, and Simon Brad. They do not disappoint in any dimension of their skills. My confidence in Pristine as an educational provider has been strengthened by this exposure.

Thank you for a wonderful seminar. Express my thanks to all responsible.

Harold L. K.

Just a quick note to say “Thank You” for a great class this past weekend.  The format in which you presented the material was both informative and easy to understand.  It definitely helped in allowing me to begin developing my Trading Plan.  Your class also gave me a clearer perspective on my trading as a whole.  It is greatly appreciated.

Have a great day.

Greg P.

Thank you so much for the very informative classes that you taught in Denver. I am so glad that I took them! I learned a great deal of new useful information about the markets even though I had taken a lot of other classes in the past and feel confident that your information will drastically cut my learning curve and help me not to lose as much money in the process.

Thanks again for everything.

All of the best,

Sue M.

Thanks so much for your course. The seminar gave me a whole new outlook for my trading. It was so informative and well organized. I am very enthusiastic about trying to use all the tools.

Thank you,

Ana S.

Thank you so much for an expertly taught TPM I course this past weekend.  I have had many instructors over many years of instruction--your technique and clarity of delivery are tops.  You handled the somewhat frequent and occasionally obtuse questions with grace and conciseness.

I have been looking over past trades with new vision.  It is amazing how uninformed so many have been.

Barry W.

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated and enjoyed TPM2 (Trading The Pristine Method® Part 2) this weekend. I took TPM1 (Trading the Pristine Method® Part 1) with Michael Th/Fri so I am pretty well stuffed to overflowing with new information. But I'll survive.

I am new to trading and wanted a good education before I started. My worry was getting in with a car salesman/bs type of organization and being taken. I looked all over and hoped I had found a good place in Pristine. I feel I've made a great start with you. This weekend was everything I was hoping to find as I start my new career. One thing that impressed me the most was how much you and Michael really cared about what you were teaching and how it could change our trading lives.

Thanks again for a great time.

It is not an understatement to say Pristine has already changed my life.

John O.

Just thought I'd send you a quick note to say "thanks".  Although Pristine's CD's and free services had given me a good understanding of the method and the techniques, the TPM1 (Trading The Pristine Method® Part 1) experience pulled it together in a way that's hard to explain.

I won't bore you with the details; but, I thought you would like to know that you've helped turn a frustrated, losing trader into a fairly steady winner who's having a lot more fun.

In three weeks after resuming real trading on 1-Feb, I have more than recovered the TPM1 cost.  You helped me connect the dots and I really appreciate it.

Best regards,

Brian O.

Just arrived home. I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed and benefited from the (Managing Your Trading Business) seminar. You are an excellent teacher. Alhought I was lost a lot of time I felt you were patient and helpful and didn't make me feel like a dummy.

I realized how much I've to catch up and how overwhelming the endeavor will be.

Sincerely,

Hans

First of all, let me say how much I enjoyed the (Managing Your Trading Business) seminar. I’m sitting here energized; I’m overwhelmed by the sense of organization I feel. I’m even looking around at other projects I have on the table and have a plan to address them tomorrow (very unlike me).

Thanks,

Richie

This is Bill G. from this weekend's seminars in Las Vegas. I wanted to thank you for a wonderful, if very full, educational weekend. I have been to many seminars and classes on many different subjects, but I have to say when it comes to BOTH the quality of material and instructor, this weekend was one of the best I've ever attended. I had been avoiding taking a trading class for fear that they would never justify the cost. I have looked a a number of firms, both trading and educational. I was eventually convinced by "Tools and Tactics for the Master Day Trader" and the Pristine web site. The information in the book was more complete than any other trading book I've read and the amount of free information on the web site is remarkable. I told you how I first heard of Pristine with the Swing Trader CD from a third party where I paid $160 it. Even after finding out that it was 1/4 the price on Pristine's web site, it was still worth it for what it eventually led me to.

I am spending this week analyzing past trades in "hindsight", re-writing my trading plan and reviewing the manuals from the seminars. I am focusing on swing and core trading right now. I never really thought that intra-day trading was my style, but after this weekend it has become more intriguing to me and I will probably look at it more closely in the future.

I'm also writing you to request your tracking spreadsheet, trading plan template and the location of the Pristine TC2000 scans.

Thanks again!!

Bill G.

I really enjoyed your presentation at the Embassy Suites on Jan. 14th. Your professionalism and enthusiasm for trading has turned me on to Pristine education. Although I have been investing in the stock market since 1960, I have never believed in day trading until your presentation. I have ordered the book "Tools and Tactics for the Master Day Trader"; I want to read the book before I take your seminars.

I liked your money management presentation, and would appreciate a copy of your Excel spread sheet, also a copy of the business plan that you mentioned during your seminar.

Happy trading,

Robert W.

Excellent seminar this weekend. I came out of there really pumped up. I thought it was really informative and was presented in a very easy to understand manner. I'm looking forward to learning more and beginning my career as a trader.

Thanks, Paul S.

Upon my completion of TPM1 yesterday I just thought I would send you a quick note of thanks for your efforts over the weekend. I was so enlightened with the material and the potential that lies within it that I could hardly put the book down when I returned home. I am looking forward to taking the Labs, TPM2, and other sessions as I move toward becoming a master of the Pristine methodology.

Regards, Joseph B.

Just a short note thanking you for the great two days last weekend. I have been diligently reading and studying the material. It is going to take a while but I am confident that the seminar and more just like it will make me a better trader. The Pristine Method™ is the best all around training I have ever seen or been involved with.

Jim S.

The following is from a message sent by an attendee at one of the initial pilot sessions for the new seminar, Managing Your Trading Business:

“This experience has taught me that all successful businesses require rigorous planning and management… Your new “seminar in the waiting” provides important insight, guidance and serious help in these areas… the training was highly complementary to existing Pristine offerings, not duplicative. As you know, the course also provides guidance, practical tools and useful exercises dealing with trade logging, budgeting, income and expense forecasting and performance evaluation. These are invaluable to someone seriously interested in making a living at this trading business and I am not aware of any other trading educational firm that provides this kind of training.”

Michael M.

The seminar this week was excellent. Although I've subscribed to the newsletters and PPSN for about a year now, and have thoroughly exhausted the web site for information. I have read Tools and Tactics for the Masterdaytrader on several occasions, along with many of the recommended readings. And let me just say, I could not put the pieces together without this seminar. I was finally able to understand where the major problems in my plan were and be able to correct them. As I said in the seminar you have to pay for some of the information that Pristine puts out, but I feel that this will pay for itself many times over. Again, thank you, and I can't wait to start trading correctly.

Sincerely, Tony R.

...Also wanted to tell you that your presentation of TPM-1 was outstanding! The weekend was a productive learning experience for me, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! You explained the trading concepts and Pristine strategies in a clear and understandable manner. I particularly liked your attention to detail, as well as your patience and willingness to answer our questions. Excellent seminar!

I look forward to taking the two week trading lab before the end of the year!

Best regards, Bruce M.

It was good talking to you. Just finished looking over the figures on last years trading. Thanks to your Trading the Pristine Method® Part 1 class the Core increase was 59% and the Day Trades were 87% which is a substantial increase. The increase wouldnt have been anywhere near these figures without the Pristine training. Additionally, after the classes I have learned a ton from the Advanced Trading and Pristine Method® Trading rooms.

Best Regards, Ted S.

I attended the introductory seminar Friday night in White Plains. You sold me. Your affability aside, I appreciated how articulate you were and the sense underlying your presentation that you appreciated and respected the Pristine system; in fact that you were a believer rather than a salesman. Moreover, I came expecting a sales pitch and it was so low key that it made me much more comfortable with your presentation.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing you somewhere along my path through the Pristine education.

Noel C.

I would like to thank you once again for a fantastic seminar you gave in miami. I enjoyed it immensly. I will never look at a chart in the same way again. You are truley gifted as an educator and trader as well as a outstanding person. The family and I loved miami and the fontaine bleau, I will definitley be back for more advanced teachings from you in the near future.

Olimbia K.

Kent B.

Thank you very much for your great efforts and your patience. I have attended so many seminars during the past few years in mostly all over the world, Singapore, Bahrain, Geneva, Egypt and L.A , but I didn't find courses and materials like what Pristine.com is offering. Also I did't find instructor like you learning the materials from his heart by presenting them in a very interesting and appropriate manner.

During the next few days, I will switch from the other platform that I am currently using to ReaTick and I will use Pristine.com for my next learning materials. Also I will take the Trading Laboratory Course that you are offering soon.... but after I open an account with RealTick and spend sometime to be familiar with. At the same time, I will continue taking the Trading the Pristine Method Part I and II will subscribe with the other services... that will fit my need as a trader. In general, I will be with Pristine.com as long as I am trading stocks.

Salah O.

Just wanted to write a quick note in appreciation of the TPM2 conference in Chicago last weekend. I greatly benefited and it was well worth the trip!!

In addition, thank you for discussing my 30 minute entry strategy we discussed at lunch. Your comments were very helpful. I've spent much of the past week backtesting various capital and profit preservation strategies and I've come up with several items to make the strategy more effective. It's been great having you in the Pristine Method® Trading Room this week - thanks for your input!!

John S.

Great seminar..... wanted to let you know what a great teacher you are! I learned a lot and have already been able to apply some techniques successfully....

Patricia B.

Many people think that Pristine’s methods are only designed to trade stocks. I have learned first hand that their methods can be applied to stocks, options, and commodities…any issue that has a chart. Recently, I began day trading the S&P E-mini futures. Pristine’s methods have helped me identify:

- The intraday trend of the futures by analyzing multiple time frames
- The best times of day to trade
- Significant support and resistance points
- Intraday pivot points
- Exactly where to enter a trade
- Exactly where to place my stop
- How to trail my stop in a winning trade
- My profit target for ½ my position
- My profit target for the back ½ of my position
- How to enter at significant reversal points
- How to use bar by bar analysis to enhance my profit, enter a trade when a pattern FAILS, and when to exit BEFORE my stop is hit
- And most importantly, when to hit the sidelines and NOT trade!

The money management principles Pristine taught me have helped me determine how many futures contacts I should play according to my trading plan.

The benefits of a Pristine education are too numerous to list here. I highly recommend the education they have to offer. If you are a serious trader, take a serious look at this company!

Eddie E.

...I wanted to extend a note of thanks to you for a great informational weekend. And thank you very much for being easily approachable and very insightful in your knowledge and conversations. Thank You. Thanks to you and all Pristine staff, I have been provided with great knowledge about what it means to be a student of the market. I was thankful and amazed of how much new information I learned during my refresher weekend of TPM1. I have been diligently going through my manual and my notes and thanks to you, have rekindled my CD seminar series, and am getting to the point where I am memorizing the dialogue and what is going to be said next...

Joe S.

...Just writing to say thanks for the seminar in Irvine and also to boast a little (hoping you'll be proud of me.) I have no one else to talk to here (who cares about trading.) Again I made $900 on Mon, my first $1200 in a single day on Tues. and my first $2,100 today. Almost all of it thanks to the Pristine training (books, videos, etc...)

Ivan A.

I especially appreciated the way that each of you made sure we didn't merely hear what you were saying but actually understood it. How many times did you stop the class when you saw my eyes glaze over? You made sure I understood. Your individual styles of presentation meshed to form an extremely powerful experience for me.

As a continuation of that class, I've opened an account at Mastertrader, within the next week or two, I'll be increasing my Pristine service to the Gold subscription. But by far more importantly than that, your presentations and sincerity of purpose, raise my hope to an expectation that I'll be able to conquer my "psychological demons", change my trading practices and become a successful trader...

Hal M.

Thanks very much for the time you spent with us at Trading the Pristine Method® Part 1 and Trading the Pristine Method® Part 2 in Irvine last week. Now that I am back in St Louis, I using my new found knowledge and your expert reinforcement to take only two intraday trades in IBM today, one in am to close gap to support, one in pm as failed breakout straight from TPM2. Straight forward low risk entries with visible targets.

Needless to say, these two trades paid the bulk of my tuition to the seminars. But that was just the odds hitting these trades today. More important was the clearness with which I saw the trades and that was due to you guys. Also, thanks for the new stack of CDs I received from the drawing. I already owned them so gave them away to the folks around me so there were really seven more winners that night.

Good trading, Steven M.

Thank you for the incredible information in Trading the Pristine Method Part 2 presented this last weekend. Your insights and presentation skills went a long way towards furthering my trading skills. I can definitely see an improvement in my trading comprehension and look forward to continuous education from Pristine.

Best of luck, Tom G.

I attended the pristine seminar in May / June and wanted to give you some more feedback...
I'm a very careful person when it comes to money and investing / trading and therefore I must admit, that I was sceptical in the beginning...

But it's just amazing how much I benefited from the course with you guys in white plains. I was more into portfolio management and wanted the course to improve my timing skills for portfolio management. I started then in mid-june trading and portfolio-timing. It's just wild how this course improved my skills in both (trading / portfolio management)...

Greetings from Vienna, Florian B.

It was great to finally meet you at the Trading the Pristine Method Part 2 seminar in Irvine last weekend. I just wanted to express my thanks for putting on an awesome seminar as well as for all the guidance you've given me in the Advanced Trading Room the last few months. It has been making a HUGE difference in my trading skills this year and I look forward to applying everything I'm picking up from Pristine.

I plan to keep the process moving forward and to attend more of your events in the future. If possible, I would like to stay in touch and run my ideas by you as they come up. In particular, I could really use some help in applying the core trading style with some of the other strategies I mentioned in the seminar (i.e. with Failed Patterns). Thanks again, it was great to meet you and I hope to stay in touch.

Sincerely, Darin W.

It's been nearly 3 weeks since I attended the Trading the Pristine Method - Part 1 seminar, (looking forward to attending Part 2 the end of next month,) and I have to comment again on what a profound impact Pristine has made on my trading career. I last mentioned that prior to attending the seminar I had lost 20% of my starting capital, and within days after attending the seminar I recouped 50% of my losses. Last week in employing some of the disciplines, and methods learned from the seminar, even in this choppy market, I've recouped 100% of my trading capital. This has provided me a new lease in a career I only started with 3 months ago; additionally my portfolio is up 15% as of this writing.

Best Regards, James T.

It was good to see you again this weekend... Just wanted to drop a note to tell you how much I appreciated this past weekend and Trading the Pristine Method® - Part 2. I have come to expect a lot from you and Pristine but this certainly exceeded my expectations... as a teacher in the past I have been through the drill of trying to write lessons and presentations to explain concepts to a group and know firsthand the effort that went into the original "Intra-day Trading" but what you have in TPM2 is really something...and I can really understand and appreciate the effort that went into this work. It's one thing to come up with a seminar like "Intraday Trading" was, and I don't mean to lessen that at all because that was a great seminar and I learned much from it, but to go so far beyond the original in so clearly explaining things that are so conceptual and that you usually deal with intuitively really is amazing.

Thanks for all the effort that you have put into this ...it is certainly changing the way I look at the market...for one thing I've gotten rid of all the chart indicators that I've spent so much time trying to make useful and really begun to focus on price and the candles which makes a lot more sense this week than last...

Thanks again and good luck to you in the future in all your endevors...

John R.

I just had to email and tell you this. I have been following the stock market for over two years, but never had much success. I kept trying to find techniques that actually worked. I was confused, swimming around in all of the information. Although I believe that that experience helped me to gain an understanding of the markets, it did not make me a successful trader. I came home from the Pristine Method® Seminar you taught two weeks ago in Vancouver feeling good, but I still had not grasped the whole picture. I starting absorbing myself in the material you taught, as well as watching the Online Seminar CD taught by Greg Capra. All of sudden, it hit me. Today, I finally feel that I am truly going to be successful. Your seminar and the Pristine Method put it all in perspective for me. I am sincere when I say all of this. I was so frustrated before, but I knew that if I kept focused and kept looking at the Method, that something would change. And it did, in a big way. For the first time, I feel like I am in the game, instead of on the sidelines watching. Thanks so much; it means alot to me and my family. There is still much to be done and learned, but I am definitely on my way to success. Thanks so much.

Carol C.

I am geeked. I just did my stats for the month of January, and here's how it came out:
Batting average: .450 (scratch trades not included)
Sharp ratio: 2.89 (scratch trades not included)
It was not a perfect month. I made errors which I have addressed in my trading plan and will not happen again.......which means I can still improve on this.

For me this is a truly memorable moment!! I attribute my success to my Pristine seminar, my mentorship with you, and my own discipline in doing what you taught me to do, and what I observed you doing. Thanks for all your help and suppport!! Don't worry, I know that a little overconfidence can be squashed quickly in the market. Therefore, I remain humble.

Paul K.

I'd like to thank the both of you for your dynamic presentation of "Trading the Pristine Method® Part 1." The depth of knowledge you guys possess is just extraordinary, not only can you guys expound upon the subject being taught, but all of the presenters at Pristine, served to inspire as well. I can only for the moment hope to attain the Pristine level of trading mastery you guys have reached.

Aron, and Mike, sorry to have not asked questions during the seminar, I was reticent in speaking, only because I'm new to trading. My knowledge is limited to having been gainfully employed for the past 25 years in the Brokerage, and Investment industry. I'm currently a registered principle for a small broker dealer, whom for the time being shall remain nameless. "Minimized Trading," as Mike coined it, I can certainly relate! lol

Mike, you are absolutely correct, in stating that possessing industry registration really has no correlation with actual trading.

I realize that the trading profession will demand a lot of fortitude, patience, and determination. The experience required can only be attained through time, and weathering. I'm confident that Pristine can assist me in attaining the acuity necessary to succeed as a market participant. So without further delay taking up the both of your time. I thank you both again. Until we meet up at the next Pristine Seminar, or event. I bid you both a fond Adieu!"

James T.

To the staff of Pristine.com :

I just recently finished your two day Trading the Pristine Method® seminar in Toronto this past weekend. A simple e-mail isn't really enough to tell you my appreciation for the knowledge the Pristine instructors Mike DiGioia and Bill Knotts were able to convey to myself and the others attending the seminar.

I have no doubt in my mind my future trading success will be greatly increased by the information Pristine has given me. I only wished I had heard of Pristine much sooner! The amount of money lost to inadequate entry and exit on trades I made before taking your seminar is now going to be significantly reduced in the future in my opinion.

I am already planning to practice the "Pristine Method" and am looking into additional seminars in the near future. The amount of any monies spent on Pristine educational seminars far out-weighs the opportunity cost of continuing on the previous trading path I have been on.

Again, Thank-you
Dale F.

The San Mateo seminar taught was fantastic. I more than got my money's worth. I will continue to take Pristine Seminars and hope to do a Trading Lab in the summer, as well as a mentorship program in Irvine. I love trading and feel that now I have the tools to begin doing it properly. I have taken enough beatings in the market and am now, I hope, psychologically prepared to ruthlessly correct my mistakes. Thanks aga
