Important Note:

If you are new to trading or investing, I suggest reading these rules many times over until they become ingrained so you can act without emotions.

Stocks that breakout and move up with tremendous volume and close near the highs of the day seem to workout the best.

However... many stocks that move up 15% or more on breakout day often fail. You'll just have to watch your stock's action like a hawk and get to see and understand these things over a long period of time. If trading were easy everyone would be making millions. It's not; it takes years and years of hard work and long hours.

Many traders employ a half hour rule, meaning that for the first half hour of the day many traders do not buy any stock that gaps up in price.

If the price holds after the first half hour then often many traders will step in a buy the stock. I find this rule works good after the market has moved up for few strong weeks and is not very effective at the start of a new strong move.

If it's earnings season then it's an absolute must that you know the date that your company reports its earnings.

Many traders prefer to be out 100% before a company reports its earnings in case the company misses its earnings or guides lower.

Others I know reduce positions substantially before earnings are released to lower risk. The choice is up to you.

Today is My Biggest One-Day Gain-
Almost 6 Figures Gain...

Dan, Today is my biggest one-day gain - almost 6 figures gain. Thanks for your wisdom. When some people in the chat room today felt the market might sell off after the Fed announcement, but you said judging by the way BIDU was breaking out today, you did not feel the market would sell off. I had a lot of calls of GS, BSC, MA & some stocks such as BIDU, etc. What you said stopped me from selling any before the Fed announcement. What you said came from your many years of experience. Can't find it in any books or from "financial experts".

You are the best. By the way, I’ve been to your seminar 3 times & been a subscriber for many years, Still learning.

Since Your Seminar, I Made Over
$200,000 On Your Long Trades...

Hi Dan,

I attended your seminar in May. Since your seminar, I made over $200,000 on your long trades from May through July. Because of the correction, I haven't traded during August, until August 15th, and shorted RIMM and ICE, after your calls, and made $35,000, for two days, during the market steep decline.

Thank you for your newsletter, seminar, and your messages in the chatroom. Thank you for being a great trader and not just another guru, whose salesmanship is better than his trading. I have been a successful trader, that has traded for a living for many years, and you have made me a lot better trader.

Thank you very much.

Dan, You've Been KILLING it Lately-
and I've Been Right There With You...

Dan, You've been KILLING it lately- and I've been right there with you. I have been trading for 8 years-and I love your service. I trade the momentum stocks that you list and I trade em all. The stocks you list are the ones where the action is- and you are right on when you say to buy these. I was long RIMM overnight the night it gapped up $10 and ran another $13 for a one day total of $23 , and I was long TASR overnignt last night when it gapped up 6 points and then ran another 10 for a one day gain of $16.

As we used to say in the good 'ol days...I've had a great year this month! Keep 'em coming! Find some more winners for us! You Da Man!

I tell all of my trader buddies about your service. Anyone who is SERIOUS about trading needs to study your newsletter, and learn to think like you do.

Best wishes for our continued success!!

I Have a $90,000+ Profit...

I am learning everyday. I owe you.

Your Seminars and Newsletter Have Guided me to Make Over a Million Dollars and Keep it as Well...

Dan, thanks for the past two years. Your seminars and newsletters have guided me to make over a million dollars and keep it as well. I started with your newsletter, knowing nothing about how the market works.

This past year's bear market has given me the experience to understand why you say "trust no stock". Your model portfolio picks in up-trending markets have been phenomenal with the likes of Qualcomm and others, and employing tight stops have protected us on the downside. I used to be a buy hold, panic and puke kind of investor, but with your seminars and newsletters I now know how to be safe and profitable in a market that can punish those who fail to follow your "10 Golden Rules".

See you at the next seminar.

Mark D.

Thanks for Your Recommendation of 100%
Cash Back in Mid March 2000...

Dan, Just a note of thanks for your recommendation of 100% cash back in mid March 2000. I have a buddy who kept cost averaging down only to be down about 200K now and another buddy who sold his business to day trade full time, now he is looking for a job. I kept telling them what you said but they would not listen. My retirement mutual funds got hurt but not too bad, they are long term anyway. Again, thanks for the cash call and I am looking forward to the ride back up with you.

I Made Close to $21,000 In One Day...

Dan, I’ve been following your moves for some time now and just love the way you buy stocks and tell us about the biggest winners in the market before they make a big move. I finally stepped-in and bought Research in Motion (RIMM) when you said to, and voila’, I made close to $21,000 in one day, it’s so easy to make money when you follow your Golden Rules of the web site and buy the big moving stocks when you say to. You’re the real deal!

Sincerely,

Freddy M.

I Have Already Made More Money With You than With the Other Seven Services Combined...

Hi Dan, I have been trading for two years now and I have tried seven (7) different stock analysis services. Some of them cost up to $400.00 a month. Yours, however, is the only one to help me make money. I have been a ChartPattern member for less than a month and I have already made more money with you than with the other seven services combined. Thanks so much for the service; I know you don’t need to do this to make a living.

I Intend to Renew my Membership for a Longer Period of Time When it Comes Due...

Dan; your daily newsletter is great, as is your weekly radio program and the chat room is indispensable. I've learned more the past few weeks through these avenues than I have over the past 2 years reading books (over 50 books), newspapers and studying charts on my own. I only wished I'd learned of you and your services back then.I intend to renew my membership for a longer period of time when it comes due.

Regards,

I Just Wanted to Thank You So Much...

I just wanted to thank you sooo much and to let you know how talented you are as if you didnt already know. but the main thing is you share your talent with us and that is sooo great as alot of people in your position would never take the time to answer e-mails and stay in a chatroom all day with his customers.

+200% Gain For the Year and Very Happy...

I've been reading your letter since April, 1999. In the beginning I just "watched" while I basically played my own stocks... I was lucky in that I didn't lose ALL of my capital and just maintained my funds. The turning point for me was last year's correction. Your call was to go to cash -- I sat on my stock picks thinking you were nuts... Market bounced back a tad (I thought you were even more nuts!!).

Market TANKED....... My stocks tanked.... I swore I'd then heed your call next time in going to cash! After that correction, I started using the model portfolio and your weekly stock selections -- though not to a T, which has been my biggest problem.... I sold many way too early always wanting to lock in gains (not a horrible thing, however...) ... Anyway, ended up nicely ---> +200% gain for the year and very happy.

Got your letter tonight, am mainly in cash and will watch on the sidelines or with some breakdown shorts... It takes a while to go thru the cycles and to understand and to finally believe in them... but I'm there and I appreciate all your business has done for me.

You've Made my Education More
Than all the Books I've Read...

Over the months I've been following you, I can safely say you've helped me get rid of my worse habits, like not cutting my losses fast enough and selling way too soon. You've made my education more than all the books I've read, and believe me I feel like I've read them all. I look forward to many more months and years of trading and investing with you.

After Looking at Our Phenomenal Gains this Past 2 weeks in our Chartpattern Portfolio, we Just had to Send You Another "Thank You"!

After looking at our phenomenal gains this past 2 weeks in our Chartpattern portfolio, we just had to send you another "thank you"! Needless to say we were absolutely thrilled, but at the same time, it scared the hell out of us because like everyone else, we all like preserving whatever gains we’ve made so far, but at the same time, like to maximize our investment on any particular stock.

Your past call on QCOM was absolutely brilliant! We made some 570 points (pre-split price) and you got us out within a few points of the top! And it hasn't even come close to those levels since then!

Best wishes and Thank You,

Ron and Jackie C

You're An Amazing Man. I Just Wish I Could Afford to Buy all Your Picks...

You're an amazing man. I just wish I could afford to buy all your picks.(I'm getting there...well, not yet!). I got into FDRY at 158 when you said. Up 36 today..wow. I didn't sell VERT when you told me to buy CMRC. So I own VERT, CMRC and FDRY. To buy CMRC, I sold my NETE - which is the one that you helped me make 800 % on.. = ) Thanks. (I wish I could've afforded PHCM on the same day-- that one went up $24 today.) Unbelievable!

Let Me Just Say in one Word Thank you...

There is so much I would like to say to you but time is as always limited. Let me just say in one word Thank you. I listened to you speak at the AIQ conference last month and at first thought, man this guy's wacky, but soon came to the relization that, no in fact you were just brutally honest, and boy I could appreciate that.

The point I would like to make here is at the time you spoke I was down roughly 30% in my portfolio. After coming home with your lecture fresh in mind and changing my attitude and trading style, my portfoilio is just a hair from being back to unchanged. To me, considering the market condition I like that.

Thanks

Wanted to Thank You for Helping Me
to Achieve My Best Trade to Date...

Dan,

I just wanted to thank you for helping me to achieve my best trade to date. On May 3rd 2005, I purchased 25 June 230 strike Goog calls at $8.10 per contract. I held them for about 5 weeks and sold them at $60.00 per contract. Your newsletter and chatroom are the best in the business. Thank you!!

Just Wanted to Thank You for all Your Hard
Work in Analysis and Recomendations...

Just wanted to thank you for all your hard work in analysis and recomendations. I myself am a technical analyst for last 3 years. I came across your interview 3 months ago on Business2000 TV and since then I have been a subscriber of ChartPattern.Com.

Until then I was always intimidated with internet stocks. From the time I became your subscriber, I have started playing internet stocks (both your picks and my picks) that are coming out of the baseing pattern with volume confirmations. Thanks to you, during last three months I had a sizable increase in my profits and my trading account size.

Your Insight is a Gift. Never Lose it...

Hi Dan, I am a new trial member and I think this is a great sight. Your stock commentary is easy to read and follow, and your charts are easy to read and understand. I have been in the business for almost 21 years and I am still learning things. Your insight is a gift. Never lose it.

Thanks again and "Happy Trading." I look forward to your next letter with great anticipation.

I Started Following Your Advice and Within
4 Weeks I was able to Recover all My Losses...

After entering the stock market in the summer of 1999, I started investing on various stocks and sure enough, before I knew it, I was down about $50,000.

After someone recommended your site, I started following your advice and within 4 weeks I was able to recover all my losses. I took your advice and started investing in companies that you suggested. I must say I have never met anyone so accurate in your selection of stocks. I read your letters and try to understand your logic behind each of the chart patterns. You are an incredible stock analyst. I call you the "TSG" "THE STOCK GURU"

Recently I followed your advice on cashing out in mid March 2000 and thats exactly what I did. Boy I am so glad I did what you said.....You are the best.

You Told Me Stuff I Have Never Heard Before...

Dear Dan:

Your seminar was awesome!!!!. Thanks for showing and sharing what you do in the market on the 12th of May 2001. I really didn't know what to expect. In fact the last technical analysis seminar I went to, I brought a keg of Mountain Dew and No Doze Pills and it didn't phase me: I was board to tears and didn't want to learn. You were funny, informative, real life and I learned a ton. I have been trading since 1995. In one account I made $2,000,000 from $40,000 in 3 years. I have traded millions for my family and friends, pre-March 2000. You told me stuff I have never heard before and I have been to a ton of seminars and have put a lot of them myself as well.

I didn't know if you were going to just cover some high points and some fluffy --- It was anything but that, you showed/shared and walk us through what made money - what worked and what didn't, it was hard hitting - no fluff!!!. It was refreshing and I was Wowed!

Positively,

M. J. Black

Dan is a Master of His Craft...

Travelling across the Atlantic for a seminar may seem ridiculous, however it was definately worth the trip. Dan is a master of his craft and in his workshop he shares the techniques he uses to find stocks that are ready to make a sigificant move. I gained more value from one day at his seminar than several days at other events. Meeting other traders from the chat room was an added bonus.

Thanks for an Absolutely AWESOME Year!....
My Personal Best Ever.... Way Over 100%. WOW.

Thanks for an absolutely AWESOME year!.... My personal best ever.... way over 100%. WOW.

That may not sound like a lot to you, but I learned my lesson the HARD way in early 1999 about taxes and margin and that quickly pulled a 250k portfolio down to 32k. OUCH. That's what I get for listening to a full-service broker telling me, "They will come back"... "are you a long-term trader or short-term trader?".... "don't sell now".... Well, I fired his ass earlier this year and now my portfolio is back up over a third of a million (net). Thanks nearly entirely to your ideas/methods. THANKS. I'll never be in that predicament again, if I have anything to say about it.

It's Uncanny How Accurate
You Are With Your Picks...

HI Dan - I've been a subscriber for a couple of months now and am truly amazed at what you have accomplished. It's uncanny how accurate you are with your picks. I've been a believer of Technical analysis for a long time but have had difficulties putting it all together as well as you have. It's amazing how you use the simplest of things (price and volume) to make your decisions. I am now confident that I can throw away all that other "noise" surrounding my past technical analysis mistakes. My question to you is when and where is your next seminar? I am very interested in seeing you speak live.

Thank You,

Bill Griffith

Dan Zanger Started With 11k Dollars and
Turned it into Over 20 Million inside of
18 months During the Last Big Bull Market...

OK guys..this one is special. I'm posting this interview with Dan Zanger..which recently appeared in Active Trader Magazine. This is perhaps one of the best interviews that I've read. Dan Zanger started with 11k dollars and turned it into over 20 million inside of 18 months during the last big bull market. He is influenced by William O'Neil, Jesse Livermore, and Nicolas Darvas among other great traders.

His uses a modified Can Slim approach to his trading and believes in heavy margin and pyramiding. He focuses more on the chart patterns than does William O'Neil. For instance...Zanger believes that certain patterns such as flags and pennants, wedges and such are signifigant..where as O'Neil doesn't consider many of these patterns reliable. O'Neil likes to see longer patterns such as those on the weekly chart(such as bases). Zanger focuses more on the daily chart...very similar to the Darvas methods. Zanger cuts his losses more quickly than the typical Can Slim methods teach us. This interview is so good that I almost do not want to post it here.

You know it's good when you are afraid you are giving away proprietary information. Infact..I'm shocked that Zanger was so revealing. Please save the article if you want..I may come back and delete this post in a few days. You can go to chartpattern.com and get a free trial to Zanger's newsletter. I subscribe and it is excellent. The letter keeps me in tune with the market leadership...and I am learning much about the technical side of things. Zanger is a very solid technician!

I Can Happily Say that I'm a Decent
Trader Now Making 200K+ a Year...

Dan, I just wanted to send you a note to make you aware of the consequences of your service. When I started trading I knew nothing -- I wanted to ride the bandwagon like everyone else in 2000 and I lost almost everything. It was devestating, but I decided not to give up -- I'm smart and have always done well in whatever I have been interested in and I loved trading, but I just couldn't stop the bleeding.

I decided that I couldn't do this alone and I needed to learn something about the market-- to stand on the shoulders of the giants instead of trying to slosh around myself. I then found your site (actually my wife found it!) and I took a 3 week trial in 2004-- it was a flattish time for the market and after 3 weeks I didn't sign up but something remained with me, a voice in the back of my head.

Several weeks later I returned and joined as a member and started looking at the chart patterns you have on the site, listening to your radio show, and started reading your previous articles. I knew then that the only way to make it in the market was to listen to you and follow your footsteps.

After that I really hunkered down and started to focus. I printed out the charts of my trades and wrote down notes and kept going back to your articles. I watched stocks constantly until they became my buddies.

It finally has come together for me and the pieces have fallen together and after several years of groping in the dark I can happily say that I'm a decent trader now making 200K+ a year (which of course is pennies for you-- but I am an independent trader making a decent consistent salary and I can't tell you how happy that makes me). This is all thanks to you -- I just wanted to let you know personally how you touch the lives of others with your service. If it weren't for you I'd probably be stuck in some 9-5 office job which would have sucked out a bit of my soul every day. Many thanks. Your very loyal subscriber,

As of This Writing, I'm Up 48% YTD,
and it's Not Even February Yet!

Thanks for taking care of this so quickly. Just a quick note....Although I'm not new to trading, momentum breakouts, technical analysis etc., it never ceases to amaze me how much one can learn from someone else.

In this day of scam artists willing to sell anything from a 'holy grail' blackbox system, software, and chat rooms costing several hundred dollars a month, you offer something much more valuable; you actually teach people how to function in the markets. And you do so for a very reasonable cost. It's something others aren't willing or able to do. As of this writing, I'm up 48% YTD, and it's not even February yet! Better still, it isn't luck or coincidence.

I'm sure I speak on behalf of the other members, thank you for your dedication, persistance and tireless efforts to educate and help others succeed. Your insight is invaluable, and your genuineness is rare. Finding a quality person willing to share his experiences in this business is refreshing.

Thanks again, I wouldn't be where I am without your teachings on 'how to fish'. I'm excited to be a member, and I look forward to seeing you in May at your seminar.

Regards,

Sean

I Caught TASR Last Year for $750,000
When My Old Gains Were Usually in
the $1000 to $3000 Range...

Dan, I have been trading for 20 years, but I have never captured a major moving stock until I started following you 3 years ago. You have taught me to concentrate my shares in the major movers and I continue to learn.

I caught TASR last year for $750,000 when my old gains were usually in the $1000 to $3000 range. This year (2005) thanks to you, I have realized over $1,750,000 in Google Inc. (GOOG) in just 5 weeks, which is nothing short of amazing! I go to every seminar you give and I imagine I can afford your service for a little while longer (Ha.Ha.) Thanks for everything.
