Hi Pat!
I have been listening to the tapes and have read the book
for the 3rd time and love them both. They have given me the
tools that I need to "buy low and sell high" like I have
always been trying to learn how to do. Joe's book is the best
trading book I have ever read and I think his techniques are
the best that exist for the way I like to trade and
substantially reduce risk (and I tell all the traders that I
meet this and give them your web-site). Now I have to
discipline and train myself to professionally understand and
apply Joe's techniques consistently; the effort will be well
worth it!
Keep up the good work Joe, and thanks for writing a
wonderful and excellent trading book!
Sincerely,

Joe's book has lots of excellent strategies. I agree
that it is not easy to apply to real trading at first. After
several months of struggle, I finally decided to trade only
B&B and to master it. Since February this year, I had 17
B&B trades with only 2 losers. My point is, start out with
one or two directional signals. Pick some easy ones like
B&B or DPRO. Study them and master them. Once your
confidence is built up, you can then move on to other
strategies in the book.
Don't give up. Good luck.

Joe,
I have a question but first...
I want to tell you that I know nothing about trading.
Certainly, not enough to make any reliable judgement about
anyone's methodology. I ordered your book and tapes based on
something that is somewhat intangible. In reading your
interview and in conversation you struck me as very genuine
and honest. Those same qualities were apparent in Neil, as I
spoke with him, prior to
deciding to attend the recent
seminar. He has been very generous and forthcoming with
information, above and beyond what would normally be expected.
These things speak to me more than any benefit I may gain from
studying your techniques. So, I want to give credit where it's
due. I like meeting people like yourselves. I hope there are
more of you out there.
My question is in regards to Forex. As far as I can tell,
the only accurate and reliable way to trade Forex with your
indicators is with CQG, unless you get eSignal to feed
Metastock so Intraday CTP can read those files. I am not
interested, at this time, in intraday trading, just making my
entry intraday once i see support/resistance on a daily
fibnode. If I didn't explain this properly, perhaps you could
just tell me what you have found the best route to be.
Thanks for your patience, time, and efforts.

Joe,
I have read Trading with DiNapoli levels for the second
time, and I am studying the Trading course. I just wanted to
tell you that your material is the most relevant, realistic
approach to trading the markets that I have encountered, and I
have spent much time and money looking at the works of many.
Earlier in my trading experience I was not ready to
comprehend the Fibonacci and money management concepts you
teach, but as the saying goes "when the student is ready, the
teacher will appear".....
Your method of using Trend analysis (Stochs, MACD, DMA's
and the Detrended oscillator) is simple but brilliant. It very
much agrees with my style of trading. I only wish I had taken
the time and found you 3 years ago for I would have an extra
100k in my personal trading account.
As a money manager using Index mutual funds for my clients
and being limited to end of day daily trading, I have caught
the last couple of moves for a solid gain for my clients in
the NDX using Fib analysis to determine entry and exit.
I know I have much to learn before I come close to
mastering the many techniques in your work, but I now feel so
much more confident making trades with just what I have
learned so far. I look forward to taking a private seminar in
the near future.
I could not be more excited about learning and applying the
methods in your excellent and unsurpassed research and work as
it applies to trading the markets.
Sincerely,

Just a note to say Hi!
I had an excellent February, particularly the last two
weeks. I have been able to apply your stuff, particularly on
the currency markets. I already knew to look for impulse and a
retracement, and now the OPs get hit an amazing amount of the
time. And, my confidence level has increased, allowing me to
continue to pull the trigger, and paradoxically, allowing me
to wait for the choicest setups, rather than over
trading......
I would love the opportunity to work with you again, be it

Can't tell you how very good your seminar turned out to be.
We were right, that it takes drill, drill, and more drill to
solidify your method into one's brains. Would you consider an
invitational class only for those who successfully
participated in the first seminar and who you feel are of the
caliber you want to teach the next level?
I put the FibNoded 30 and 5 minute charts to work the last

I agree with ya there like it's like cheating!!!! )))
What I meant by "self-fulfilling" is that the floor and
major off-floor players know where the key fib levels exist on
most time frames, so, in a sense, the floor and big money move
price to those levels....What's important is what happens next
at those levels...price is either repelled by a fib level
(reversal), or price is repelled and then accelerates through
that level like a knife through hot butter (successful test or
bounce followed by a failure), or price blows through the
level like it doesn't exist (stop run or bid/offer vacuum).
from experience by observing price, you can get a feeling for
what might happen at the fib levels.

Neal Hughes wrote
Some would disagree that fib
analysis is a self-fulfilling prophesy. There are many who
believe that the more a certain technique is used (more
traders using it) the less likely it will work in the markets.
There is a conflict there, a trader can't believe both.
Any-way, for whatever reason, Fibs work well in all liquid
markets!

"Trading With DiNapoli Levels" question.
posted to the
Oxxxx-List..
Recently some of you had high praise for this book. After
reading some reviews, the table of contents and a couple of
articles by DiNapoli I'm almost ready to buy it. However I am
afraid that the book might actually be a $200 sales brochure
for $800 in software.
I trade stocks eod, (end-of-day) trying to catch trends and
have no desire to diddle with intraday data. Are DiNapoli's
ideas predicated on
multiple time frames? Have you folks
been able to put his ideas to effective use without "Fibnodes"
and the "Oscillator
Predictor?"
Thank you for your attention. I'll welcome all comments.
Brad R.
Brad,
The book is the complete trading
methodology. It's not an advertising brochure for his
software.
You can trade DiNapoli techniques
without FibNodes or the Coast Trading Package. You will find
those software packages
very convenient, but not
essential. The only proprietary indicator that requires
software from DiNapoli is his Oscillator-Predictor, though you
can use his Detrended Oscillator to replace the Oscillator
Predictor. The Detrended Oscillator as well as all the other
indicators he uses (except the Oscillator Predictor) are
disclosed in the back of the "Trading With DiNapoli Levels"
book.
Most of the formulas for the
DiNapoli indicators can be downloaded from his website
http//www.fibtrader.com in the proprietary client area. If you
buy his book directly from DiNapoli, you get 60 days free
access to that area, otherwise you get 30 days access. If you
see the value of the coaching and mentoring web pages and
forums, it's a better deal to skip the book-store discount
and buy direct. I volunteer my time to help traders on
that website, so maybe I'll get to know you there?
Let me know if you have more
questions.
-Neal.
Brad
This book will show you some
techniques that you'll find very useful. The fib work that Joe
teaches you in the book is fairly easy to learn and yet is a
very powerful addition to your trading tools. The software Joe
sells makes some of the calculations easier, but the only
thing I can think of that Joe teaches that you can't do
without the software is use the oscillator predictor.
I've said before here that I rank
this book as one of my top five books on trading. I use the
techniques in it all day long in my trading. Joe is an
excellent educator.

The entire approach will work across
time frames. One day to several weeks is no problem. If one is
trading intra day, one
needs extremely accurate methods
which is why so many day traders turn to our approach but it
is not necessary to trade those time frames to benefit.

had an oil position in 99 that lasted many months using the
same approach!

Good morning
I read your comments on the DiNapoli forum page with great
interest. Although I have been using Fibonacci levels for
years now, I am new to Joe DiNapoli's techniques. What I have
seen of Joe's work (I am half way through his book) is
extremely interesting and it seems to be a logical progression
of my current trading style.
I have been in the FX/Futures industry for 20 years now and
started as a floor trader on the .......xxxxxxxxx Exchange. I
left the floor of the Exchange in 1985 to work in FX where I
have been, apart from a 1 year sabbatical ....... , ever
since. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to technical
analysis very early in my career and it has been the basis of
my trading ever since. I use xxxxxxxxx to display hourly and
daily charts using Jxxxxx Cxxxxxs. I have always used moving
averages to define trend and Fibonacci retracement levels to
establish a position on a reaction to that trend. This is why,
when I read about Joe's techniques......, it struck a chord
with me.
I am considering taking a personal seminar with Joe this
year and was encouraged to read that you found it so useful. I
decided to contact you because I feel it is important to
exchange views and ideas with like-minded people (Joe also
recommends this in his book).

I want to thank you for your dedicated work and uniquely
