Hi Avery

Can't tell you how much I'm learning from the Gap Class and in the Trading Room. Every day I experience more than one "A HA...I GET IT!" What great teachers/mentors you are. Pristine is lucky to have you both.

I really find your weekly ESP "lessons" great. Have a notebook of them and review them whenever I can find the time. Right now our lives are filled with Pristine...Your classes, nine DVDs, the PMTR, daily info from the website, Tools and Tactics book, after market lectures, and Pristine View reads and rereads.

Ever since we took TPM I we have been committed to Pristine. Like many other folks, I wish I had been introduced before I spent all those years learning and struggling with a myriad of indicators that had my charts looking like Boston surface road traffic jams during the Big Dig. What a mess and no clear or consistent pattern!

Thanks for your stock comments today too. I did make a little bit of paper money, but on a "bad" trade. So I added that trade to my diminishing, but still too frequent "bad trades file." I keep the bad trade cards at my desk and review them during the doldrums. What's neat is how much more often now I can ask myself with real disbelief-- "Now why on earth did I do THAT?"

From the trading room I'm also learning the importance of a trading plan focus. I have the share sizing and everything else I learned from TPM I and DVD but I included way too many patterns and set ups.

There's a fairly recent PBS mystery series on Saturday night called New Tricks--about 3 old-school detectives who are back working on cold cases. We think it's quite good and funny too. But most of all it reminds me there's hope for this old new trader!

See you in the room tomorrow and at Gap Class Saturday.

Bobbi

Greg,

I can't thank you enough for the mentorship week. I told my wife after day 1, "I already got my money's worth." I learned many new concepts, plus greatly reinforced what was learned in previous classes. I can't wait to put it all to work, especially the new software tools.

Thanks again,

Jim W.

I have really enjoyed the coaching; in fact it has really been revolutionary. The stock market has so many facets, conditions, people, circumstances, etc. As a trader begins and continues on the journey to make his way thru the maze of learning how to trade, coaching helps eliminate the things that really are not a priority. That is where your experience as a coach proves invaluable. In one comment, you can help a trader narrow his focus and prevent him from having to spend years in the learning curve. You have done these things for me and I appreciate it.

I am looking forward to the class on Sat.

Blessings

Excellent closing statements! Your comments continue to be further proof that the folks at Pristine truly are interested in helping guys like me. Very touching, indeed. Thanks for your support. It's nice to know that I am more knowledgeable than the Goldman Sachs market makers, even though it is easy to think the other way around!

People were stunned when I left Smith Barney earlier this year (to attempt this new career)....(they were stunned when I left Merrill in 1999 as well to move to SB). As such, I have been wrestling with my personal psychology over the last 2 months or so....and it's nice toknow that with help from you, my courage continues to build. I hope you don't mind my humor comments during the sessions....gotta have humor.

Thanks,

Ben P.

I just wanted to write a quick note to give Kudos to Avery Meizner. I recently completed a 5-session coaching program (on Gap Trading the open) with him and I must say that it has made a remarkable difference in putting some of the pieces of the "trading puzzle" together for me.

A lot of this (Pristine) material has gone over my head the 1st, 2nd and even 3rd time I've heard it in the PMTR, but the tenacity and patience that Avery has to continue driving home the concepts of trading - and the psychology behind it all - has accelerated my learning tremendously. And his willingness to continue *my* education through e-mail feedback is invaluable.

Well, that's it. Just a quick note to say that I surely learned (and continue to learn) a lot from Avery. Keep him around! :)

Sincerely,

David B.

The seminar gave me more confidence about trading the e-minis. I feel that taking this seminar was a wise investment decision.

Robin P.

I signed up for a 10 week coaching session with and it was remarkable. My positive trades increased to 50% and I made back all of my previous losses. He taught me how to incorporate market internals, assess S/R and Targets more accuarately, consider relative strength/weakness and recognizing quality set ups. I have the utmost respect for your educational resources and felt you should know this. I intend to continue utilizing your educational program as I can't imagine learning to be an effective trader without it.

Kindly, Bill M.

Greg,

Since your internet version of the Private Mentorship for the DOW futures I have a complete new outlook on all markets. I can not express the value of the Private Mentorship and the time with you. This Private Mentorship has brought together all of my prior Pristine training. I feel very comfortable with my knowledge of the markets. Thanks for changing my life.

Let me know if I can ever return the favor.

Best regards,

Ken L.

Hi Greg,

I just wanted to thank you again for the online emini mentorship last week. After having taken TPM-2 from you and learning a great deal in that process, I wanted a chance to be able to observe the market and learn from you in real-time to really solidify my understanding of the concepts in a way that is not possible in a seminar. I feel like I now finally have the whole picture, so to speak. I definitely have a much better idea of high odds short-term plays, reasonable targets and expectations, and just what I should be looking for and doing everyday in my microtrading. I feel that the experience was great and well worth the price and time invested. Although I know I need more practice and am going to take it slow, I am really looking forward to the process of microtrading over the coming months. For the first time, I really believe deep down that if I am patient and stick to the plan, I will definitely be able to generate enough income to make a living trading full time. Thank you so much for that.

Neil B.

Dear Greg,

I would like to express my gratitude for your E-Mini Trading Lab. You went above and beyond an educator and showed us with patience and generosity your professional trading knowledge. It was very valuable and it really put into practice a lot of the prior Pristine education. Sharing all of your helpful personally developed indicators is a tremendous asset to put the odds in favor of picking up profitable trades. Thank you again and keep up the good work.

Regards,

Kasra P.

I just wanted to thank you again for the excellent mentorship week. The content was great and it was a pleasure to attend such a well organized and presented seminar.

The information made a lot of sense to me during the instruction but the wisdom of the strategies became even more apparent as I practiced them in my own environment this week. Thank you for sharing your excellent work with us.

I made 7% (on a $20,000 demo account) in 10 plays during the last 4 days so I am very encouraged.

Take care & thanks again.

Ken J.

I wanted to tell you that I think the few coaching sessions we have had were great. I like your attention to fine detail and helping me understand the routine I must get into before I make a trade. Certainly having taken TPM1/2 enables us to focus on refinement instead of basics. You are helping me be able to assess a trade in multiple time frames and assess risk, which I couldn't do before.In just a few weeks, I have increased my trrades from 30% winners to 60%, although I have far less trades now. I am excited about our continued work together.

Thanks, Bill M.

You are my good luck charm. This week, between being long on Pcu, and short on BBBY,QQQQ,EBAY,and CC, life is good. I'll be looking closely at SU, SLB, and MER short depending on market internals and the right entry points. I owe this all to you.

Thanks, Bill M.

Say, your mentorship with e-minis has given me great insight into the market in general. I don't trade them exclusively, but I'm much more comfortable trading them as an occasional opportunity. More importantly, I suddenly see more clearly their relative value as a market internal. Yea! My thinking about them used to be somewhat murky - didn't quite know what to do with them. I know, slow learner, but WOW, it seems my rocketship just finally took off - I'm so excited to get to my trading every morning. Also, I have applied much of what you taught to my micro-trading and it has vastly improved.

Just singing your praises!

Gayle P.

It's been nearly 5 months since the mentorship. I want to thank you again for that program... I was still trading my old way for 2 months after but have been wildly successful trading your setups for the past 2 1/2 months.

Thanks,

Jimmy W.

Hi Greg,

I have spent the last few weeks since the E-Minis Trading Lab just focused on what you had taught us and I must say you have pretty much nailed it on the head. Your knowledge on the subject and your ability to read and interpret charts goes far beyond what I ever expected to learn from this mentorship. There are very few good traders out there and even fewer who have the patience to teach what they know, you truly are a Master Trader.

Thank you so much.

Dave H.

My trading was off to a rough start for the first few weeks, but I am finally starting to settle down, trust the system and relax. The more trades I make, the more comfortable and confident I become. I still have a long way to go, but I'm learning something new every day. Thanks again for your excellent instruction. It has formed the foundation for what I hope to be a long and prosperous career. You are probably the best instructor I have ever learned from (all subjects).

Best Regards,

Chris H.

I wanted to let you know that the week that I spent with you teaching us your e-mini mentorship was an extremely rewarding experience. From your attention to all the details in terms of our understanding of all the tactics to your professionalism as an educator, your approach in this mentorship is only defined by the word professional. You were always very attentive and asking us if we had questions and if we had you answered them all with calm and to the point.

In terms of the material given, the manual that you give is very detailed and it contains everything that you taught us during the week for later review.

I know that anyone interested in trading the e-minis will find benefit by attending this mentorship without any doubt. Even if you are already a professional trader you would benefit, because the approach and tactics that you teach is a plan or system that you developed by yourself and specifically for trading the e-minis.

I really learned what professional trading is all about and how a trading business should be run. You really are an expert in showing this.

Sincerely,

Jorge M.

The trade management approach is a strength of the program, along with the disciplined trading methodology being taught.  I found the two unit methodology (i.e. – position trade and scalp trade) particularly helpful.

Michael M.

I want to thank you for the outstanding job You and Avery do for me and all the other traders in the PMTR. I have been in the room for one and a half years, eight months full time. It amazes me how difficult trading is. Without your guidance I don't think I would stand a chance. I have listened to most of your lectures at least twice and every time I hear them it's like I am listening for the first time.

Tom

Pristine's knowledge of the e-minis and his trading tactics are impressive. The thorough explanation of the tactics/rules along with real-time trading and watching the tactics/setups form on the charts was very helpful.

John B.

If you like the day trading action, yet find it challenging to do so with stocks, then e-mini futures trading is for you.  Before coming to this mentorship I had never traded the e-minis, yet in just a few days I felt totally comfortable and pretty sure this was a trading instrument for me.  Thank you for sharing with us your experience and knowledge and your crystal clear tactics on how and when to trade the e-minis.  Looking forward to putting all that know-how into practice and profitability!

Sylviane D. V.

If you are interested in e-mini trading and have a background in Pristine methodology, this is the course to take.

Bill W.

I know I thanked you in the room for the mentorship but I must tell you what you really did. It is as if you gave me the missing piece of the puzzle (no matter how small it really is.) It seemed to have taken everything theoretical I know and decoded the confusion. Yes, we learned to look at multiple time frames for patterns and entry but can you imagine I never thought about going to a 1 min. or 2 min. chart, how idiotic of me!!!!! I seem to all of a sudden not to have to be right all the time, call the bottom or top. Anyway I do not want to bore you, thank you again; you are an amazing teacher, trader and above all an amazing person.

P.S. I had one of the best weeks of my trading career this week.

Sincerely, Maher M.

Mike:

The Pristine counselor spent the past week here providing a mentorship for me. He did brilliantly, tailoring the information and teaching to the exact level needed, raising my trading skills to a very high level. It was a truly great experience to see a professional so skilled and dedicated to teaching. I urge any person interested in trading for a profession to engage in a mentorship. It is worth the cost many times over.

Sincerely, Dave W

Andy, As we finish my first block of Coaching, I wanted to share with you some of my realizations since we started working together. Before I start into what I learned in terms of trading, I must say that being coached is one of the best things that have happened to me in years. I’ve told you this before, but it feels like I get exponentially more for my time and money than even I did with the life-altering TPM1 and TPM2 workshops. This is mostly due to the power of individualized attention for my own particular issues, and this has put me on a growth curve that I never expected. This is a wonderful thing, and I definitely want to continue.

When I first asked to you coach me, I could see that trading was more difficult than I had originally expected, and that there was a lot to learn. There were so many subjects that could engulf hours, evenings, or entire weekends, that I wanted a structure to the process so that I would be on the best track possible. I could only afford a certain window of time to become consistently profitable, and it was obvious to me after struggling for several months that having the guidance of a “master trader” would shorten this critical developmental period and by teaching healthy habits early on, be the difference between my ultimate success or failure.

After ten weeks, I have grown so far from the trader that I used to be, that it is actually a bit staggering to look back. We created a trading plan, which is expanding with new realizations and corresponding tactics. We’ve worked on the fundamental routines and habits, and these together with the trading plan have helped me change from a reactionary market participant to a trader who approaches the day centered and ready to respond effectively to market events. I have a thorough pre-market plan that guides me to appropriate strategies early in the day, rather than while or after they happen. This is a huge difference from the trader I was just a few short months ago. I can now calmly wait for high probability trades to setup, and determine if they are right for me, given the current market environment, and my specific money management rules.

Occasionally it has been frustrating to see the high-risk pattern that I used to mess with go for a triple or homerun. There have been times that I needed to walk away to remember that I was being reprogrammed away from destructive, even addictive behavior, and toward new thinking that would help ensure my longevity as a trader. This has already led to the beginnings of what is vastly more important and satisfying than an occasional big hit, that of consistently profitable results. A foundation of proper thinking and healthy habits already has made a difference, how exciting to think of where this transformation is leading.

Ray P

I want to thank you for all your teaching and guidance. Thank you so much for the informative week of mentorship. Although I still do not see a lot of what you see, I think I learned to make some of the interpretations that you do. I am committed to gaining the ability to see a lot of what you do. I think the mentorship was one of the most valuable experiences I have had yet in my development as a trader. It has been a great help to me and I look forward to building on this foundation and becoming a really competent and successful trader in the future.

Eugene S

I emailed you late in Feb. to thank you for what you have done for me and others. I just returned from a mentorship and it was mentioned this whole mentorship idea was kind of your baby and others questioned your idea. Oh, how wrong they were. It literally would have taken me years, if ever to figure out what I learned this week. I'm a student of NLP and Tony Robbins, who espouses modeling successful behavior. You have handed me the tools to succeed in a massive way, on a silver platter. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Robert H

I appreciate the time you took to during your class to meet with me. It was VERY enlightening. During my visit, you asked me what I thought was wrong with my trading, and I wasn't able to answer you at the time, but it was obvious by the time I left: I can't manage my trades like you guys can..my stops are all in the wrong spot..my timing is too slow...my trading tools are inadequate...I think too much and don't react. Wonderful what an hour can do, huh?

You guys can drive a ferrari, whereas I'm still trying to get out of first gear. I plan to take the 2-week Trading Lab early next year to get the education I need. In the meantime, I signed up for Pristine bronze, which is really my speed. I have no business trying to trade intraday at the moment. I can't thank you enough for letting me visit your class and speak to your students. It was invaluable. I have confidence to reach my goals now, since you gave me perspective on what was missing. If you get a chance, pass on my thanks to them too.

Roger

Aron did an excellent job in monitoring my progress and making sure I had an understanding of all concepts covered. He did a great job of referring back to the "trading list" of things to do when entering (before and during) a trade. I should be able to limit many of the bad habits I'd picked up over the past two months. Overall the mentorship was excellent.

Robert B

I just finished up a week of mentorship in Irvine. This really helped me to put everything together. My confidence is increased by 500%! You've got a super company and super staff!

Regards, Ona

It was excellent, truly a great way to gain in one week, the knowledge that a lot of trading (losses) would provide. Aron has a wonderful grasp of the whole market and trading domain. He was outstanding in his grasp of the big picture. My feel for balancing the market conditions to my trading plan is up from zero to very good. I wish I had one more week spend with Aron doing real trades!

Bob R

I wanted to apologize if I sound over enthusiastic in the Pristine Method Trading Room since returning from the Mentorship, but the fact is that my trading has changed for the better beyond recognition. I just feel that the other people in the room would benefit immensely if they understood how important it is for them to get a structured education from a good teacher(s) if they are serious about trading.

I have made significant money after my return by trading according to the Plan's share sizes and managing the trades properly - not simply by luck and wildly buying as many shares as I could in hope as I used to do before. I was never able to take 2 to 3 points from an intraday trade before.

I am looking forward to a few difficult market days so that I can test my trading poise when the going gets tough. I feel I have the tools and confidence to handle it now. I truly feel that I am now on the way to fulfilling my fondest wish which is to make trading work long term. Thank you sincerely for your invaluable help in making me believe this.

Shahid Z

The class was very informative. Overall the experience was extremely productive. Aron was very good at teaching us the Pristine Method. He got the points across very clearly, especially the important points. I would recommend Aron as a mentor, especially if you are starting out as a full time trader. It will help you move to the next level.

Chris T

Aron is very knowledgeable of the subject matter, but his trading skills and poise are extremely helpful for his tutorees. The opportunity to share time with a trader provides you with so much additional knowledge. Hands-on can rarely be surpassed by text book learning. The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words," applies to this past week with Aron.

Alfonso

It did not take me long after returning home to realize the truth of your statement that trading is 85% psychological. Had you not taught us how to surgically dissect each trade using Sharpe ratios, post-trade chart evaluation et al, I doubt I would have recognized why some trades were good and others weren't. Looking over your shoulder to see what you saw each time you evaluated a potential play was a great way for me to see how technical analysis is applied real time. However, what I learned, with a good deal of dismay, was how undisciplined my trading has been. What a great road map you gave us! My trading plan is well fleshed out, I'm tracking and analyzing each trade and am up $2K after only two days of trading this week. What's most satisfying about that is I no longer need a bull market to convince me I have brains. (In future, whenever I hear anyone say that, I will remember you said it first!)

You are very good at what you do, both in the Mentorship Program and as moderator of the Pristine Method Trading Room. Your extreme dedication still boggles me. (I still can't believe you post the Watch List around 1:00am each day.) However, I'll simply enjoy the benefits and leave you to decide why :)

Warm regards, Pamela P

We walked away with a much greater understanding of the Pristine System as well as what to, and not to, focus on. Good confirmation of what we've been doing and the direction we are going. He tied up the loose ends and gaps in our style and gave us a "blueprint" to become Master Traders - Excellent!  Aron is great.

Kevin

Aron's ability to convey the technical analysis in 3-D vs.one dimensionally, has really brought the market "to life". I feel I have a much better sense of "timing" a trade with other dynamics within the market. Aron had a strong command of the material as well as the presentation of it - He also asked strong questions to make sure we took the most out of the experience.

Barb

I wanted to let you know how I have done since Miami and what I am going to do next. After I got back from your April 30th Mentorship I opened a brokerage margin account for $43,000. I traded for 10 weeks 5/8 - 7/16. During this period I made 33 trades (buy and sell). My purchase cost was $1,116,681 and my sold value was $1,145,583. This gave me a gain of $28,903 ($2890/week). There were no big gains or losses. It was surprisingly consistent throughout the 10 week period.

I started with Pristine's 1-day seminar in May, 1999 in Chicago. I then attended the 3-day seminar in Jan, 2000. I followed Pristine's advice and picked out strategies that I was comfortable working with and that worked for me. I also took his advice and studied them and paper traded these strategies. I kept good records and was able to learn from my mistakes instead of getting hurt by them - and I would have been hurt a lot. I was feeling pretty confident about my ability when the Mentorship program came along. It was a chance to see if I was really ready to trade. I was not.

I had the tools, and knowledge but no experience. But I sure got a lot of great experience through your Mentorship Program. Because of all the prep work I had done since May, 1999 I was able to grasp what you were explaining. I understood what you were trying to accomplish and that filled me with confidence. During your program the light came on. While I knew what to do - you showed me how and when to do it. I want to express my sincere gratitude for giving me a chance for a better life.

Lew

I enjoyed last week's Pristine Evening Mentorship class. Sam and Craig did a great job presenting the Pristine trading principles and it was thoroughly enjoyable sharing my experiences with the others in the class and benefiting from their experiences as well. I am very thankful for the opportunity to have attended. Already I can see a difference in myself, in terms of how I'm approaching the market- not being afraid of it, but instead trying to play with it, rather than against it. There's clearly no winning when you try to beat the market, that's for sure. But in watching the major indexes and making proper use of moving averages and other corroborating criteria, I feel I have really matured in the way I am approaching things.

Sincerely, Richard H

Just wanted to thank you both once again for the stellar job you did this past week. The seminar exceeded my expectations and the information and techniques I now have are worth their weight in gold. Great work!

Ronnie R

I just wanted to take a second and thank you just one more time! It truly was a pleasure to be able to see you perform tasks that two weeks ago seemed liked an impossibility. The timing could not have been better, as I was at the point where I was doubting a lot (including even being able to trade an account of my size profitably). You have been the one that has filled in so many missing pieces of the proverbial trading puzzle.

Your skills are remarkable, and I can only hope to aspire to your level of trading sometime in the future. Up until this point in my life, I have never had someone that I would refer to as a "mentor"; now, I think I fully understand what it is to have one.

Again, please let me convey my thanks and appreciations. I'd like to say that will be the last time you will have to hear that from me, but I can't in all honesty make that statement to you!

Please keep up the great work! I truly hope to see you again soon.

Regards, James

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your time and effort you put forth last week. I went with the expectation of taking from your teaching what I would need to become a successful trader, but what I learned and saw far surpassed what I had ever thought possible.

Each day had its own revelations, but Monday will go down as one of the most memorable days. At the Pristine seminar, Pristine presented us the required tools and techniques for successful trading. In the Pristine Method Trading Room I heard these tools and techniques implemented in trading. Now on Monday, I was SEEING for the first time the awe inspiring execution of those techniques.

What you taught me personally through your teachings and what you showed me through your trading was that day trading holds its own set of rules for proper executions. But what I carry to that computer will make the difference between success or failure.

My future in day trading at this time is uncertain, but having heard you and seen you in action I now feel prepared to face the information the market presents with a neutral bias and process the information with a confidence that will allow me also to trade in the "Zone." Thank you again. You are truly a Master Trader and Mentor.

Sandra
