Thanks Joe,
I've read your book well over 30 times. Hope to have the privilege of meeting
you some day.
You are correct. Esoteric mathematics does not equate to profits
God Bless,

Hi Joe
Just a quick note to let you know how impressed I am with your book, your
website (client forums), and all the support provided by the experts. Don't want
to bore you with all the details of my trading past, however I have been in the
business for roughly 10 years, blown up 2 accounts, and the one I am working
with now has remained just barely above water for the last 3 years. It is still
above water however so something is definitely improving.
I have been paper trading using the material that you taught in your book, and I
am sure that you have heard it all before, however I must add my 2 cents. In the
past few weeks I have, using my new knowledge, been able to trade with a much
improved success rate, and confidence is definitely improving.
Thanks again for, not only taking the time to write the book, but also for all
the support provided on your website, and for being accessible.
Cheers

Hello Joe,
I have read your book, done your home study course and attended your recent
seminar in Singapore.
I just want to say thank you for making my trading much more profitable. Your
whole methodology of using different time frames with DMA's and Stoch/MACD and
FibNodes and using logical profit objectives has made knowing what to do so much
clearer in many situations. I hope to be able to do a private seminar some day.
Thank you,
BW

Joe,
…I always wanted to thank you for writing the books and courses. I would not let
the book you signed for me go …I probably will not get to meet you until I can
take the private course you offer... My roommate who trades commodities
contracts is amazed at how I can tell what is happening to the charts.
Kindest regards,
DS

I've read your book 3 times now and still learning from it, I know a little on
technical analysis so I'm not a newbie to the subject but I'm learning and
understanding more and more with every read.
As you know you can read about systems and strategies left right and centre on
the Internet and in books, but the truth is the bulk of them are nonsense, well
maybe not nonsense but close to it.
I like your ideas, I like the way you describe your ideas and the way you put
your ideas across in your book, a system has to make sense to me, it has to be
logical, your ideas make perfect sense to me and there's logic in it from page 1
through to page 300.
Congratulations on an excellent book!
Once again thank you for your advice and help.
Kind regards

Hi,
After having read your book (which was excellent by the way) I am considering
buying the Coast Trading Package. I particularly interested in the Oscillator
Predictor and its use as a filter to keep out of bad trade entries and to take
profit.

…I have almost completed the book and found it to be an excellent resource. I
will immediately reread it again for obvious reasons. I will probably need to
reread it many times over the course of my trading career.
Thanks, Mr. DiNapoli, for an invaluable resource.

Dear Joe,
I totally enjoyed your seminar last Sunday in Singapore. It made the Fib numbers
more comprehensible. Your 1st "secret" about trading the Stops gave me a totally
different view of the market movement and reversals. Amazing. I am still going
through your notes and starting on the "Trading Bible - TWDL".
I am interested in attending your seminar in Bangkok.
Thank you and Cheers.

Hello Joe,
I thank you very much for your email reply.
Please register me for the P seminar in Bangkok for this April
I have just finished joining the free online seminar run by Genesis. If I may
share my present feeling,I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to live on
earth now while you are also here.
The seminar only showed us how to trade using D level. I can imagine what kind
of valuable trading knowledge you will impart to us in the seminar when you show
us how to use the indicators ,money management ,tactics,set up and others.
Please accept my greatest gratitude for going through all the troubles to make
all this possible for us.
Sincerely yours in learning,
B

Joe Greetings
Believe it or not, I am following the learning curve portion of the website
&..done the book (multiple times), did the DVD and would like to get my hands on
the trading course. I've been actively trading the FOREX Spot Market for 1.5
years and have found your methodology particularly adept to that market. When it
gets moving, being a Minesweeper kind of guy helps && For some background _ I
was introduced to the Technical Analysis field approximately two years ago and
have been glued to charts and books ever since. I spent my first 11 years of
adult life flying F-14s for the US Navy and the last 2.5 years working in a
start up doing software for embedded training and simulation on a PC. It's been
fun, but the charts are what passion me and to be quite honest _ I'm trying to
build my utopia of staying home with the family and paying the bills. No
illusion of grandeur here _ just being smart, disciplined and patient (trying to
be Diligent Dan). I want to make money.
Thanks for letting me take your time & I believe a trip to Thailand is in my
future&..pulled into Pataya Beach on the USS Nimitz back in 97_. Not sure they
will let me back in the country after that port visit&&.!
Be well. Thanks for taking the time to write your book&..

Subject: Re: Long Term Reports with Audio Commentary
Hello Kevin <trading@foxfutures.com>
Just wanted to quickly tell you that your new style of Long Term Reports with
Audio Commentary is just fantastic. Clear, crisp and so easy to understand! I
even sat my wife down (who complains that I talk more about
Joe DiNapoli than about her) in front of the computer to show her these reports
and all of a sudden its "I can understand this, lets buy Coffee" says the wife!
Please keep up the great work.
Kind regards

Having read your book 4 times now (the elevator goes most the way to the top -
but more like a freight elevator, heheh) and recently receiving the Coast
software, all I can say is that I sit here slack-jawed as I watch the mkts turn
on the numbers I have jotted in front of me. Your comment in the book about
starting with a series of wins is spot on - a false sense of security could
easily prevail. Luckily (?) I've experienced enough losses in the past to
appreciate the seriousness of the game, and to internalize the importance of not
making mistakes. Who knows if I'll still be here 6 months down the road, but I
can't deny that at least I was given a helluva chance w/ your methodology. Your
willingness to share has been truly appreciated in this corner.
Thanks, Joe.
Health and happiness...

Kevin,
This is tremendous stuff. I am learning from the masters. Your Gold and US$
index charts in particular are great for information and as learning tools,
especially with the audio commentary.
I know what to look for in these markets, and as a consequence, in the
Australian dollar as well.
Thank you.

Hello Danielle and Kevin
I just wanted to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to attend another of
your Joe DiNapoli on-line seminars. Each time I learn a little more and slowly
the picture is becoming complete, you are a great teacher Kevin.
Danielle, thank you very much for helping me get on line with my computer
problems. I really appreciated (and was amazed) that you would telephone me from
the other side of the world when I am not even one of your clients. I hope to
have more free time later this year to seriously look at trading the markets and
there will only be one brokerage that I will be calling....looking forward in
doing business with you soon.
Thanks again.
Kind regards

25 February 2004
Joe,
Here are the few thoughts on my experience ….
Bangkok is a curious place. It is an amazing blend of opulent old-world temples,
modern skyscrapers, and massive poverty that is hardly rational to a western
mind. However the amalgamation of these seemingly disjointed elements makes
Bangkok a richly rewarding experience for any traveler.
2 Day Private Seminar
The seminar was an extremely rewarding experience. The small group and intimate
setting really helped to focus my mind solely on the topic at hand. Your style
of teaching with compulsory participation for all members was excellent. It
served a dual purpose. Knowing that you could be in the 'hot seat' at any time
does wonders for your concentration, and having to explain a concept to another
requires a solid understanding of the topic. I also found your knowledge of the
inner workings of the markets of particular value in bringing clarity to what
seemed before as a distant haze beyond my brokerage account. I now feel that I
am a much savior investor.
I look forward to coming back for the Advanced Seminar.
Regards,
TD

16 February 2004
Dear Kevin,
I would like to thank you for your time and all of your efforts, you presented a
great seminar. I bought the software and the book, but found it to be a bit
confusing, but with your explanations it clarified some of the material from the
book. I could never trade again without using my FibNodes, … Thank you
again......I am looking forward to being your client.
Sincerely,
V

Hi Joe,
I have read your superb book, Trading with DiNapoli Levels, several times and
have studied the material in great detail. I am currently going through your
Trading Course Tapes and am eager to learn more of the finer points of your
trading methodology.
Although I am a practicing retinal surgeon, trading has become a passion for me.
I am predominantly a technical trader and have been quite successful over the
past several years. During the past 4 months, my interest has turned to the
Forex market and futures. I initially came across your name on indicators shown
in the Global Forex Trading software platform and subsequently researched your
work and recently purchased your book. I have not come across anything that
presents a trading approach with as much precision, detail and brilliant
thinking as your book. After I have mastered your ideas, I hope to check my
understanding by backtesting (if possible) in TradeStation and/or paper trading.
At that point, I will implement your approach in live trading.
Joe, your clever and insightful analyses of the markets are awesome and it would
be a privilege to be able to attend your seminar, to learn as much as possible
directly from you and to be able to pick your brain and share ideas with you and
the seminar participants. Could you please include me on the list for attending
your Private Seminar …
Best regards,
MW

Joe as for the seminar
Since ….your private seminar I have traded on a demo account for one week making
the OP on all my trades. I have started this week with my life account and made
two trades in the first 24 hours of trading, making huge profit.
You trained me to trust my trade and stick with it. To read your book is one
thing but the only way to make sure you understand it and can apply it, is to
attend your private seminar. Without this I could not have done it.
As you now I'm trading Forex and up to now I have only traded the EUR/USD, wait
until I start trading more currency.
Once again Thank You for everything I am looking forward to attending your
advanced seminar. (second half of the year)

Joe,
Your private seminar was excellent. I believe I have ordered most of your
products following your recommended learning path: TWDL, DiNapoli Levels Video
Training Course, The Trading Course and the CTP graphics software with access to
you client pages. I must say that the information you have provided has been the
best I have seen and you go through great detail with your actual trade plan. I
found the private seminar extremely helpful because you have a wealth of
information and the private seminar really helped me to tie together the
information I had already learned more concisely. I am looking forward to
attending your advanced seminar once I spent some time practicing the lessons I
learned from your private seminar.
Bangkok is a wonderful place to visit. This was my third visit to Thailand and I
am now looking forward to my fourth. What I really like about Thailand is that
the people are extremely friendly and courteous and Thailand is a very beautiful
country with extremely beautiful women. Everyone in the seminar would not
hesitate in extending their stay if they could because the found plenty of
interesting things to do. So my advise to anyone attending the Thailand seminar,
plan for an extended stay!

Hello Joe
May I take this opportunity to personally thank Pat and yourself, for your
hospitality, a great seminar and an enjoyable time in Bangkok.
After attending your seminar, I intend to focus solely on the trading practices
that you use.
…..I have been on many training seminars I consider yours to be the best one
yet!
Many Thanks

Subject: Re: Follow up to your attendance to the Fibonacci Online Seminar
yesterday,
Dear Mr. Kevin,
My name is Dragos, from Romania.
On the first hand, I thank you for the time you invested in this seminar. It was
the first live course which I attended, so I do not have a term of comparison,
but what I can say is that I understand more about how Fibonacci works on
different time frames and how they interact, a good course !
Sincerely,
DHO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 January 2004
Thanks J,
I finished the first sweep of your book over the weekend, and am going back over
it. I like the perspective of FibNode and will work on that more. I like your
combination of 'tools' for decision making input, very much. They have a degree
of flexibility that caters for market peculiarities that may not have a
historical benchmark. I find that an attractive as other technical based systems
are confused by situations that have no historical benchmark. There is also some
rational understanding.
Congratulations on the book once again.

Hi Joe,
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I have already ordered the Trading
course. As soon as I finish with it I shall subscribe to eSignal , CIS and
FibNodes to do it right. I currently use Advanced Get with TCNet, and have tried
several others. Your program is definitely far superior. I feel I have only
scratched the surface and in the last month was up by $ 10,000 in my IRA trading
account - thanks to your book and the DVD. My main forte has been Options
trading, but with your system stock trading has become as effortless as doing a
Cataract surgery.
I am a relatively new trader. Knew nothing about the market before March 2001.
Decided I could lose my money just as well as the jerks I had been hiring to
manage my portfolio previously and maybe learn something in the process. Really
enjoying it. Obsessed about it just as I am with Ophthalmology practice on a
full time basis.
I would appreciate any help I can get and am thirsty for more knowledge. Shall
follow your seminar schedule with interest the next time you are in the States.

Hello again Pat,
I feel I understand the concepts in this book after multiple readings, but each
time I reread I see another subtle point. This magnificent book is one of the
best trading books I have ever read and I will be emailing Joe about attending
his Florida seminar scheduled for May or June 2004.
Thank you very much and have a Happy New Year,
MW

22 December 2003
Joe!!!
Course:
"Having read TWDL a few times and started applying the techniques the initial P-sem
was excellent all round. It is clear that Joe has done enough of these to have a
very good agenda for the two days including thorough checking of the fundamental
understanding and some practice from the book rather than diving too quickly
into actual trade discussion. I enjoyed this course more than any I have been on
(largely due to the small group size and attendees being at a similar experience
level). I would add that discussions not directly related to TWDL (eg about
stress points, shorter exposure of capital at risk, reason for trading, why
money may not be the test of a successful trader etc) which Joe is happy to talk
about when the main agenda is covered were for me a key part of the value of the
course - I would like to thank him again for sharing his knowledge of many years
successfully trading - both with DN levels and generally. Having progressed in
successfully applying DiNapoli levels to most of my trades since the course with
my best trading month to date I can recommend the P-sem wholeheartedly - even if
it means an international flight!"
But also Joe - a very big direct THANK YOU for a fantastic course - seriously! I
felt challenged mentally - something I haven't had for a while! (although I do
take your point re watching why I am trading - as in perhaps needing
intellectual stimulation!)
Bangkok visit
Well having wanted to visit for 15 years and now by virtue of the course going
there, I had a great time!! All too short on this occasion , but the amazing
city that Bangkok is - hustle, bustle, 3rd and 1st world contrasts, friendly
people and great food. Thanks to Joe for his useful tips on the website too. Am
awaiting a couriered suit from Jesse! Another big thank you for the night out !!
Hope to e-mail/speak/meet again soon!
If you are in London - even if just to change planes - please contact me and we
can meet up.
Regards

21 December 2003
Joe,
I wanted to tell you what a great time I had attending your private seminar. I
have been a lot of places in the world and nothing was more rewarding than the
time I spent in Thailand. I was able to attend a great seminar with my mentor
who is the smartest man I know in the trading business and with only four other
people, what a great learning environment.
Little did I know that was just the start, Joe and Pat then became the ultimate
tour guides to Bangkok, both of them extremely knowledgeable of what I think is
the kindest culture in the world the Buddhist culture.
We went to the most fantastic restaurants ...and the best local eateries; you
could never find these places on your own.
We also were introduced to the man that make President Bush his suit and shirts
and he made me the same custom suit for $250 US custom shirts $20 US that was
awesome.
Then came the night life WOW I saw and experienced things I never dreamed of.
I'm so glad I was able to see the beauty that a third world country has to
offer. I'm also glad I took Joe's advice and came to Bangkok. It turned out to
be the dream trip of a lifetime.
The one thing that stands out the most is that "I" took that leap of faith and
trusted what my mentor Joe told me and it turned out better than I thought just
like trading Joe's system it's the best and he's the best. I know have a trading
system that I understand better since the seminar and even more than that I have
a friendship for life that I never dreamed possible. I am Blessed.
Thanks Joe

Hello Joe
Have been watching the Euro 50 futures today - It bounces off D-Levels nearly
all the time - right down
to 5 & 3 minute charts. It hits expansions to the tick and its just freaky!
One thing I have noticed looking back over the price action on the futures yes I
actually LISTENED to the tapes :-) Many times in fac
From my observations to date I have a theory that I want you to answer honestly:
Did you stop trading the Euro 50 because you found it too easy to win? I mean
this seriously as it occurred to me that you personally
could wipe the floor (that's a pun if ever there was!!) with this contract and
churn out money all week. But, there would be no challenge for you. I couldn't
help thinking you are in the e-mini for more than just making
money - I wonder if its to show you can win in spite of the "unseen forces" at
work.
Now I could be so wrong with that conclusion but the evidence points to the fact
that Joe could clean up with very little effort on Eurex so cannot be in this
just for the money anymore!
Thanks for caring Joe! Sounds so damn kitch but true.

14 December 2003
Joe,
Allison and I are still sorting photos from our memorable trip to Thailand. The
Thai's as a whole are such a friendly and beautiful people. A couple of
waitresses at our hotel taught us as much of the language as we could keep up
with which completely changed the reception that people gave us - we got many
more smiles! We took several pictures showing the contrasts and as you said
contradictions in Thailand; the very old culture preserved along side the very
new booming prosperity, gentle people with fairly brutal martial arts
competitions; the children dressed in clean uniforms walking home from school
through the busy streets. The more you smile, the more smiles you get.
Since Allison was free to explore while we all traded, with help from Pat she
was able to find a lot of the cool spots to take me after the seminar was over.
Feeding the baby elephant and our elephant ride in the former capital of Siam
was one of our highlights. Seeing the extent of the devastation of floods during
the wet season, river taxis racing up and down the rivers, the spectacular
temples and palaces, the never ending open markets, the house of Jim Thompson,
the reviver of trade for the beautiful Thai silk ... all too much for one week.
If we are fortunate enough to come again, we'll venture to the northern country
and its riches.
As far as the trading seminar, I learned more than I expected, and only some of
it was technical. Watching your discipline, patience, and organization; hearing
the discussions that go on in your head about where stops are located and what
will bring in buying and selling; hearing you evaluate various scenarios for a
trade moving in your direction or moving against you; cross-market analysis to
aid you in your decisions; your integrated view of several time periods; trading
tight vs. trading loose, etc., etc., etc.. After the trading sessions we'd
discuss what we learned and observed, and I spent time capturing as much as I
could in my notebook. Weeks later I'm still writing and investigating the things
that we experienced there. I also struck up some great friendships there. I'd
recommend the seminar to anyone serious about trading - from those wishing to
profitably direct their assets in an IRA account, to those presently in or
pursuing a career in the trading profession, and anyone in between. Fantastic
content especially if you exercise your powers of observation.
Thanks again Joe, we hope to get the chance to visit you and Pat again sometime
soon in Thailand,
Peter and Allison W.

8 December 2003
Joe,
I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed the advanced seminar as
well as the hospitality you and Pat showed to all of us. The seminar itself was
great and I can already see the impact it is going to have on my trading even
though I've only been back at trading for a week now. I expect to be repeating
it after I have had plenty of time to absorb and explore what I learned there
(next year). Seeing the way you handle the entire problem of trading was very
useful for me, reinforcing the things I do right and pointing out some issues
that need more work. I keep telling my wife (when she questions the charges to
Coast) that I haven't yet regretted a single dime I've paid you. That remains
true! I'm really glad to have found the right teacher so early on in my trading
career.
And Bangkok! What a city! You know the guide book I had been reading said that
some people found Bangkok sensorially overwhelming; I figured, no problem, I've
been to the biggest city in the world (Mexico City). But Bangkok got me. I don't
know what exactly it was. Maybe it was all of the incredible street activity,
the sights, sounds and smells. Maybe it was the contrast of such an intense city
populated by such warm, open people. .. Thailand really deserves its name as the
"Land of Smiles."
I received my two new suits from Jessie the tailor last week. I usually buy nice
clothes, but I have never owned such nice clothes as these suits. The
workmanship and detail are excellent, the fabric is gourgeous and the fit
perfect. And so inexpensive.
I really miss your masseuse (I won't even attempt to spell her name). Please
tell her I think she really helped the problem I have been having with my hip.
If I could have convinced her, I would have brought her home with me. I know she
was small enough to fit into my large suitcase. I might have had trouble
explaining her to my wife, but I could have given it a good try.
So, thanks again, Joe. I'm looking forward to next time.
JJ

During last year Joe presented a course in South Africa. I attended and found
very helpful in my trading. Is there any chance he could visit us again to
present courses to all his South African fans? If not, could you please send me
a schedule of Joe's courses for next year? I may decide to visit the states to
attend

Hello Joe
I am pleased that I have this book which I think is great. It basically clears
your vision when looking at the market and I am glad that you know that your
efforts are very much appreciated and I am not exaggerating . …I know you like
to travel, so I hope some day you and Pat will come to Egypt. It's very charming
(most of it). You and Pat would love the scenic Nile cruse around Luxor and
Aswan It's great hope the state department will let up soon. Well thank you Joe
and I really wish you and Pat all the best.

Re: Follow up to the FREE Trial through Fox Investments
Hello Danielle
I enjoy very much your nightly email recommendations as I am able to see two
very experience traders employ DiNapoli techniques in real markets with real
money on the line…. My learning curve since reading your nightly emails has
improved my trading 100 fold and I thank you for this. I am uncertain if your
nightly emails are supposed to be subscription based and I have been offered a
free trial, in which case I thank you and should stop before I wear out my
welcome. If the emails are instead sent out to your clients then maybe you could
keep me on your mailing list for a while longer....if this is not possible then
I have done well this far. Should I ever need a futures broker you certainly
would be the only one that I would call.
Kind regards

G`Day Joe,
I am writing to thank you for the most amazing and best seminar I have ever
attended. Your Advanced Private Seminar is the best seminar available to traders
of all levels. Not to mention the exotic location for the seminar.
Firstly the seminar. As you know my experience in the market place is one of a
floor local learning a completely new game of screen trader. The transition has
come with great difficulty as my floor conditionings are deep, however your
trading mythology has helped me enormously. I have purchased all of your
material which is available and attended several of your seminars. After 5 years
of trading from screens I still needed some areas of my trading plan defined.
Attending your Advanced Seminar and watching you plan your strategies and
actually trading them has cleared up every grey area I have had with my trading.
My confidence is extremely high (and focused) after this seminar and my success
rate is also very high. Your incredible trading discipline has taught me how to
succeed. This seminar without a doubt has given me the final key to the treasure
chest, thankyou.
And as for the seminar location what can I say, your private trading room in
your condo has the most awesome view over Bangkok I have ever seen. Bangkok as
bustling as it is has an amazing aura about it. Your knowledge of the Thai
culture and of Bangkok itself provided the perfect Thai experience.
Thank you for providing a tour of Bangkok including all your contacts for
bargain shopping and the best tailor made suits in Thailand. The Thai
restaurants you took us to are world class, I have tried to find some similar
here in Oz but just can't get it.
This seminar was almost classed as a tour with an intensive seminar as part of
the itinerary. I will most definitely be coming back to Thailand for another
Advanced Seminar as the trading knowledge is invaluable, but more importantly
your hospitality and tours of Bangkok are number one.

Dear Kevin and Danielle,
At long last I have been able to get onto one of your sessions… I found it very

I am looking forward to being able to sit in on another one of these sessions in
the future.
Thanks once again.

RE: Free Online Seminar teaching Strategy and money management
Kevin
This was an exemplary presentation. I especially appreciated the examples and
your distilled wisdom. I've read Joe's text numerous times ( 20 ? )
Your actual trades and charts clarify, amplify and cement Joe's material.. I'm
glad that you covered advanced concepts
A seminar consisting solely of trading examples would be of profound benefit
I'll be looking at a lot of charts next week with a fresh vision.
Best Regards,

Hello Pat!
I've gone through the book...the initial discussion on trend, direction, etc.
were worth 10X the price of the book to me!!! The fib stuff is compelling and I
would love to read more. So...I guess I'm very ready for the password!

The on-line class was informative, I have heard or read about bits and pieces of

that.

RE: Free Online Seminar teaching Strategy and money management
Hello Danielle,
Thanks for the seminar last night and the opportunity to comment, As a novice
trader, especially in regards to Fibonacci analysis, I have been a long time
believer in regression(s) usually approx. 50% after run ups/downs, but the fib
systems explanation was is so much more precise and takes the regressions
dependability beyond just coincidences. It should be useful to me as I prepare
to resume more active trading activities.
Thanks again,
Bob M.

Joe,
First, I want to thank you & Pat for opening your lovely home to us the way that
you did. You two are gracious hosts. I loved Sarasota, and it will not be my
last time there.
Second, I want to compliment you on your teaching methods. You are a true
professional. I was impressed by two things: One, your attention to each
individual's needs. Second, the needs of the group as a whole. I could tell that
your initial session where you asked each person about their trading history as
well as desired trading direction geared the way you approached the rest of the
seminar.
…Today was the best trading day I have had in years. It was a $5000 day for me.
It reminded me of the bull days of 1999-2000. Back then I had a few
$10,000-$20,000 days, but I am in NO WAY complaining about $5000. I am
absolutely elated just getting my old edge back. This whole month has really
been good. I have really lucked out and only had about 2 losers the whole month.
Joe R.

Hi Joe
I loved your book-I aspire to be a 'Diligent Dan' :-) -it is a book you have to

Hi Joe-I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for a great Labor Day weekend
at your workshop. Your training has taught me, among other things, to become
more methodical in trade selection and execution. I purchased the Coast
Software, as well as the eSignal service and am very satisfied with both.
With Great Appreciation,

Hi Joe,
Many thanks for the reply - I was not expecting a response from the man himself
!! I thought you would be far too busy to reply to a minnow in South Africa !
I agree with your views on programmers, but I have to rely on them via Dealbook
to get a decent graphics package without undue cost. As a novice trader (two
years and still learning to crawl, never mind walk or run) my equity is limited.
I will look into Genesis.
I really enjoyed your book, and the humor always enhances the message! Your
overall philosophy "loss of opportunity is preferable to loss of capital" is
there in BIG print on my notice board. Maybe I'll even make some real profit one
of these days!
Thanks again.
Regards
Phil T

I just finished completing your book, Trading with DiNapoli Levels and I must
say that it is one of the best books I have read on trading. Basically, I am one
of those neophyte investors looking to become a trader. I realized after reading
your website that it could take me up to 5 years to become a competent trader! I
am committed to that time frame and I believe that your system will definitely
get me on the right path to becoming a successful trader
Thanks,

I wanted to tell you that I am finding your techniques valid and highly
accurate. Having had a passion for trading (actually research) for the last 8
years I have seen and studied every book, technique and system available at
considerable time and expense. As you know, some of them are straight out
useless and almost all are in the "ho hum" class. Some are downright dangerous.
I can say quite honestly that having studied your book and done your tapes
course this is the first time for literally years that I have not been
disappointed. Thank you for bringing some real insights to my trading. I look
forward to learning more from you in the future.

Really love the CD with Merrick and you. I wish I saw it b4 reading the book.
learned so much, it was excellent excellent. I'm not good at reading books for
learning. I had years as an instructor and my mind is fixated. I'm trading
little and being a student looking for setups etc.. It's also good to hone my

Indicators like preferred Stochastics, MACD, etc. for Metastock 8.
I have read endless books on technical analysis from the world's greatest

Hi Joe,
I have been using your Fibnodes software on Tradestation since the last
90's....in fact using the same computer also. Your book is fantastic too.
I need to pass something by you.
I had a friend to come to your seminar this past weekend at your home is
Sarasota....his name is Joe R..
He just called me and talked about you for nearly 2 hours....what a
big impression you made on him.
He was shocked to find out that I also had your software and was a student of
your methodology.....and then I had to field a few questions.

Hi Joe
I liked the format of the course and even though I was kinda under the weather I
got a lot of ideas for things that I need to study to improve my skills. I plan
to trade the qqq's etc in 10 share lots as you suggested until I am able to have
more experience without the stress of having a lot of size on the line to
distract me.
Thanks for your ideas and help. I would like to do it again next year Again, I
enjoyed my time at the seminar and appreciate your efforts to help me !

Really enjoyed and learned from the seminar. Its a lot harder when you put it
into practice rather than looking at simplified charts in the book; then one
finds out how fuzzy one is on certain points.
Talked to Genesis this morning and got the Coast Trading Package, Thrust Scanner
and D-Levels; it should arrive tomorrow via FedEx. I know I'll have a lot more
questions once I start working with the concepts and tools.
Thanks so much. What you presented will really me help with deciding which
trades to take, when to enter, what to expect and safer stop placement.
Thanks again for lending your hard won knowledge and wisdom.
Tricia W.

Joe,
One thing I want to say to you personally. You've helped by giving me a chance
to "get it" and sometimes I really do. The Market is much less a mystery to me
at this point but a challenge (and when my thinking is wrong, an obstacle).
Without your help I'd be clueless with no chance of profiting. You deserve a
heart felt thank you and the next time I see you I'll deliver it. For now,
please accept the written version with a full dose of gratitude heaped on top.
Sincerely,
Rob M

Hi Joe,
I've read your book a number of times over the past few years, and I've learned

has been a worthwhile investment).

Hi, Joe.
I wanted to follow up via this email to a brief conversation we had just prior
to the start of the 1-day seminar you conducted recently in Chicago. First, I
enjoyed the material presented and accompanying
discussion - it certainly helped solidify the subject matter presented in the
DiNapoli Levels book. I also took your advice and purchased the Trading Course,
and so far have listened to about half the tapes. More good information! I'm
looking forward to attending one of your private seminars in the future after I
have the
opportunity to put your concepts into practice.
Thanks again!
Tom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30July 2003
Joe,
I enjoyed meeting you at the Chicago show. I was glad to see you know what is
really going on in the world. I can't believe how many people have bought the
lie that other countries hate us and want to attack us because they are jealous
of us. I knew I would enjoy talking to you and not just about trading.
After spending three days there at the show, walking around, looking at all the
booths and talking to scores of people, I came to the following conclusion. Most
of the trading schools that had been offered were pretty much a waste of time
and money. As I networked and met other individuals who had been trading for
years, your name was one of the few that kept popping up. One guy I had talked
to had spent tens of thousands of dollars on trading and trading schools. I was
surprised when he told me this,_ Don't waste your money on any of the trading
schools you see here, all you have to do is buy one book from Joe and keep your
money for trading capital, Joe's the real thing.
So I bought the book and I have started reading it and love it.
Thanks much,
John D

Dear Mr. Joe
It is with great pleasure and a heart full of gratitude towards yourself, and
the wonderful tool called "DiNapoli Indicator" that I write this letter today
and expressing my deepest emotions for the dramatic successful change you have
made to my life and especially to my trading methodology in the last few days
since I started using this indicator.
Using and testing almost every indicator on Dealbook, and there are quite a
number that can possibly give you good return, I find both the DiNapoli 7x5 and
25x5 gives me a pure and perfect entry point every time with good results AND
PROFIT.
With trading results like this, it becomes an opportunity to trade.
Regards,
Alex D.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 July 2003
Joe,
Virtually all of my trading knowledge, up until your private seminar, was self
taught from books, tapes, and the hard knocks of real life trading. I have been
trading your method for about a year and a half with slowly improving results as
I learned from making lots of mistakes and having a few successes too. I was at
the point where I felt I was ready for the next level, a private seminar.
The seminar more than met my expectations. You are a natural teacher Joe, it was
obvious to me that you sincerely wanted to help each of us and were able to do
so individually. I was impressed with your ability to take each trader and
honestly share with him what you felt were important strengths and weaknesses.
As a group the leaning was directed yet flexible, spontaneous and fun. Your
professional insights and subtle changes in strategy and plan were priceless to
me, I would not have been aware of these important concepts without this
seminar. I thoroughly enjoyed your hospitality and willingness to share with us,
my goal now is to make it to Bangkok.
Thanks again,
Bob R.

Hi Joe,
Finally back home having left Sarasota 5.00am Monday and arrived here 11.30am
Wednesday (Aussie time). The course for me was absolutely brilliant. The key
comments that I would make are:
* gave me a clear understanding of sliding time frames for entry/exit (fading
stochastics, selling on 5 min macd etc are now very clear).
* came away with a clear perspective on how I trade and how I could improve my
trading by sticking to ALL of the rules (trading plan. 3 period rule, discipline
etc).
* Now fully understand the importance of the trading plan, its simplicity, and
the need to use it ALL OF THE TIME.
* Now seeing DRPO's, railway tracks, wash and rinses as big as mangoes on all
time frames.
* I have now achieved a sense of calm in my trading. The trading plan is now the
foundation of all of my trades and if the trade doesn't conform I don't take it.
I am now a little "arrogant" with my trade selections resulting in less trading
but very comfortable in waiting for the trade.
* reinforced that DiNapoli FibNodes was the only way to go for my trading (not
that I ever doubted it).
I have read the DiNapoli textbook probably a dozen times if not more. The 2 day
course consolidated all that was in the book and then took me to the next level.
I can now look at intraday postings on the website and they now make sense
particularly those referring to commodities or currencies where some of the more
advanced traders have detailed their trades.
Cannot make it up to Bangkok in November but am keen to do the advanced course
the next time after that so if you could put my name down I would appreciate it.
Liz (wife) was meant to come away with me on this trip to the US but her mum got
crook which buggered up the baby-sitting so she stayed home and hence taking off
again so soon after this trip is a bit gutsy!! Will be putting on the party
shoes for Bangkok so please let me know if you have anything planned for next
year.
Cheers and Beers,
Paul
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 July 2003
Joe,
It was great to finally meet you after having studied your book for over four
years. Personally the greatest benefit I got from the seminar was greater
confidence in the trade plan and my ability to implement it, and motivation to
get started. I'm funding my account this week, I'll be watching the markets real
time next week and placing some live trades the following week. Meeting the
other traders was also very beneficial as I don't have any friends who trade.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one taking on the difficult task of becoming
a full-time professional trader.
I would highly recommend a private seminar to anyone who has seriously decided
to use your trade plan to become a profitable trader.

Hi Pat,
I'd like to start the 60 day password to client pages next week and would be
grateful if you could arrange. I watched the DVD today and enjoyed it … the DVD
met its objective and refreshed the concepts that Joe presented in Orlando. I'm
about two thirds way through the book now and the DVD helped me grasp the
concepts by the examples given with narration. Merrick Okamoto's presentation in
the DVD was equally impressive and provided a good insight into market makers.
Best regards,

Hi Joe,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. I am still thinking about my options for
charting and using your indicators in a variety of situations and time frames. I
certainly understand your comments about the software vendors and their never
ending "upgrade" cycles. Since I am fully committed to learning and using your
indicators and the trading methodologies based on them, I am trying to figure
out a long term solution that does not depend on these never ending software
upgrades. I just want to set up the system and forget about it and concentrate
on trading. I will most certainly consider your suggestion.
Your book is a delight to read and understand. I am going through page by page.
Your methods are eminently practical and elegant. I am hoping that I can adopt
the methods you describe in your book as one of my primary methods of daily
trading.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rama

(This man returned and then later repurchased the book and everything else we
have)
Hi Pat,
Since I returned the book I have gone back to your website many times and
reviewed the material there.
My initial response to the Levels book was a little bit "hasty". As I said
before I am new to trading. I had made a decision in early February to research
the industry and learn as much as I could about technical analysis, etc. I was
allowing up to one year before I would actually begin trading after I felt a
little bit more knowledgeable and had gained some confidence in understanding.
What I have come to realize is that it is quite easy to become overwhelmed and a
little confused. I decided this week that I need instruction.
After looking around I see that the prices for your materials are reasonable and
fair and Joe's ideas and methods do not appear to be overused. So...I'm
considering Joe as my mentor.

Hi Joe,
Just to remind you, I'm that young Chinese guy that just recently finished
medical school, and I attended your private seminar last August in Sarasota. I
just started my residency at M.D. Anderson Cancer center in Houston. I've been
posting some of that Forex stuff on your web pages.
Anyway, I'm in the process of going through all the archived posts in your forum
for the second time. And I'm always pleasantly surprised by the insights you had
in the stockmarket, bonds, gold, and oil, and then seeing how the events
unfolded just as you had written. So last night, I was up until about 2:00 a.m.
reading the archived posts. I went to bed and had this peculiar dream:
that these 2 large men in black suits and dark sunglasses knocked on my door
(they looked kinda like Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in "Men in Black"). So I
opened the door, and they started giving me the 3rd degree: "are you a client of
Joe DiNapoli's? are you a member of his web forum? do you post messages there
often?" And they really wanted to know "Do you know the recent whereabouts of
Joe DiNapoli?" Figuring that you might be in some trouble with the government,
and wanting to protect you and not give you away, I protested that "yes, I did
attend your seminar years ago, but no, I had no idea where you were, and haven't
heard from you since."
Then, one of the guys in the dark suits says to me "Well, about a decade ago,
Mr. DiNapoli defected from one of the US government's top secret
"fiscal/monetary" agencies, and has been revealing to the public the top secret
trading methods of the government, and how the governments of every major nation
in the world manipulates the markets at key levels known as "fib-levels." In an
attempt to contain these secrets, the government tried to apprehend you at your
home in Florida, but alas, discovered too late that you had escaped to Thailand
with your co-conspirator Pat.
Before turning around to leave my door, this dark-suited guy says (in a very
ominous tone), "It also might interest you to know that the SEC and other top
government agencies are monitoring what's being said on this internet forum very
closely . . . . "
I woke up from this dream thinking, "oh my god!" I've got to destroy all my
passwords, burn your book, un-install my coast trading package and cqg from my
computer!!! it took awhile before I realized it was just a weird dream!
Anyway, just wanted to share this with you. Hope you got a little entertainment
out of it. But sometimes, it's really un-nerving and spine-tingling to read how
you said the Dow would support at 9000, then at 7500, etc.
Thanks again for everything!
take care,
and beware of shady looking guys in dark suits and sunglasses!
Eugene H.
Eugene this is hilarious,
Fact is that I truly thought, when I discovered this stuff back in the mid
80's... that after a presentation I would be approached by those men in black.
Trench coated figures that would firmly and politely tell me to "keep my mouth
shut". That I could use the stuff for my own trading but otherwise, this was my
last workshop.
I waited for their appearance for years. Then I published the book. Truth is,
I'm still looking over my shoulder.
Great to hear from you!

I started trading off the floor recently , after more than twenty years in the
pits .It didn't take long for me to realize this was going to be a harder
transition than I thought . Seeking Joe D. out was a great trade in itself . Joe
has years of valuable trading experience and his teaching skills put him over
the top . I can honestly say that , since working with Joe , my trading skills
have improved immensely . The critical difference is knowing what entry/exit
points will give you an optimal risk/ reward ratio and Joe DiNapoli delivered .
Thanks Joe .---------Chicago .

Hi Joe,
I very much enjoyed the format of the private seminar and I think it did a lot

anticipate different action.
Thanks again for providing the " journeyman experience" in the private seminar.
I look forward to attending more of them.

9 February 2003
Dear Joe,
Without doubt, your seminar was the best I ever attended, and I have been to
several. Some of the so-called gurus were too superficial. Some were more
interesting in supporting their egos than in teaching. Some dusted off the
standard indicators without adding useful insights to trading them. Some
professed to have a unique approach that had a high probability of success, but
never revealed the details necessary to fully understand the process for
implementation. Some offered impressive back-tested results of their
proprietary(?) systems but had never traded them in real time. Some had the
personality of a train wreck and thus couldn't teach a squad of troops with
diarrhea how to get to the latrine. I could go on and on, but you get the
message.
With that experience, I arrived at your home with skeptical anticipation, at
best. That feeling was soon relieved. Your reception was warm. The atmosphere
for learning was friendly. The method of instruction was designed to accommodate
each attendee's personal needs. Your desire to imbue the proper trading skills
was obviously sincere. The approach was hands-on rather than professional. The
structure was flexible. A thorough understanding of a key principle was required
before the instruction moved forward. All in all, the instructional experience
was most enlightening. On top of that, it was fun, an essential to the learning
process. Anyone who did not go away a significantly better trader should not
have come in the first place.
What was taught? Simple. The Plan, the Plan, toujours le Plan. Consistent
profits would follow if one followed religiously a reasonable plan-not with
blinders, but with a flexible discipline.
The idea that a trading plan is paramount over financial reward is not an easy
concept to embrace. However, the more on analyses it, the more sense that notion
makes. Profit won't result unless the plan works. If one is not getting profits,
either the plan is faulty of its execution is flawed.
Moreover, a good plan account for the probability of losses-and, there will be
some. However, when such accountability is incorporated in the plan, their
appearance is not destructive to the mind of the pocketbook. The amount of
profits will exceed, to an acceptable degree, the losses. If it does not, again
either the plan is at fault of its execution is. Thus, there is a built-in test
of the plan. Its success will bring happiness because that will not only insure
profits, but also will satisfy one's ego, thirst for success in an adverse
environment, desire for excitement, wish to prove one's self, or any other
motivational itch. So, however you put it, proper execution of a good plan is
tantamount to financial success and thereby is the goal to be achieved.
I won't comment on the detailed elements of the plan you taught except to say
that it is comprehensive, executable by laymen and includes entry and exit
techniques, money management principles and personal discipline factors
essential to all levels of trading in any markets.
What else can I say other than, "Thank you, Joe." The experience was most
pleasurable and rewarding. I look forward to some future association.

I enjoyed Joe's DVD tremendously. I was amazed what a difference it made to
see the trading method in practice as opposed to reading about it in Joe's
book. It helped me understand what was of primary importance and what was
only secondary or supporting information. Thank you Joe! And thank you,
Pat, for mailing it so promptly.

Hey Joe,
I wanted to thank you again for a super seminar. Thanks for inviting us into
your warm home, you and Pat are great people and very gracious hosts. I wore
myself out thinking through the things you taught. I'm taking some time to
write an outline, kind of an expanded trading plan including the stuff you teach
about money management, coaching yourself, psychology, keeping a diary, etc. I'm
going to review everything one more time (audio tapes, videos, book, notes) and
buy the CTP Genesis software before I get going.
I wish you the best in everything you set your hand to,

Just spoke with Steve M. by phone. He ordered your new video on DVD.
He attended your lecture at a show recently. He walked out of another speaker's
room
because the speaker dropped his paperwork and couldn't continue. Although he
entered your lecture late, he was still able to "get it". With what he
has learned about Fibonacci, he has been able to pay off his house and call am
market moves. His account was up 180% last year.

Great book Joe.....it is the most succinct and lucid trading book I
have read thus far. If your course and software equal it, I believe you
offer the closest thing to a one stop shop for traders.
Now all I need to do is absorb all of this and put it into practice!
I am fresh out of a Forex trading course which has proven itself to be a waste
of
money...that is why I was directed to your book by a trader I bumped into at
a party! Also when are you coming out to Australia for a seminar or speaking

Having been a student of yours for about two years now, things are
really starting to click into place as regards the real integration of leading
and lagging indicators and different timeframes etc - I used to think it was
similar to Elliott but have come to realise how distinctly superior it is. I'm
having more and more 'lightbulb' moments as I come to understand things that I'd
heard/read but never appreciated at the time.

I have read your book twice now, and it's sinking in - excellent and
thorough strategy. I've gone down the non-judgement route, and your
approach is rather refreshing and liberating. I'm an EE and have done some
interesting mechanical designs using Fibonacci principles, so the DiNapoli
levels are very natural for me. Your book does a good job of anchoring the
golden ratio in a granite foundation. I also appreciate you sharing many of
your hard earned trading insights so generously.
I look forward to studying the rest of your material, and get going trading!
I hope to attend your January seminar in Florida.

must tell you it is one of the best, if not the best, books on trading I
have ever read, and I have read many, many books on trading. This is
the first book on a trading methodology that has presented the
methodology in a clear and meaningful way, such that I could actually
understand exactly how I could get in and get out of a trade. My

Hi Joe,
Kenny and I would like to come to Thailand for the live real time workshop. I
think we would benefit tremendously. I learned a lot at your private seminar. I
finally understood some of the
material I was having problems with--you made it all so clear. Now I hope to
come to Thailand to put it all into practice under your watchful eye. They say
"give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed
him for life."soon after that workshop I intend to do some pretty serious
fishing. The Chinese philosopher Confucius said" there is nothing more pleasant
in life than to pass on to others what one has learnt for oneself." Joe, I think
he had you in mind when he made that statement for I have found no one who would
have invited us into their livingroom to pass on your knowledge to us which you
have learnt from the school of hard knocks and the price you paid ie healthwise

I just wanted to say thanks for putting on such an awesome seminar this past
weekend. I really believe that by meeting you, I have gained a deeper
understanding of your trading methods. More importantly, I have gained an
understanding of what it means to achieve the right balance and having the right
goals in one's life and career.
I honestly meant what I said, when I told you that having the opportunity to
learn from you was one of the best things that has happened in my life thus far.
And I thank God (or whatever is out there) that I had the good fortune to meet
you so early in my life. Many years from now, I know that I will look back on
this past weekend as one of the truly pivotal moments in my life.
Thanks again for everything - not only for taking the time to share your
knowledge and experience with us - but also for simply being such an honest and
straight-up guy.
I'll keep in touch and let you know of my progress!

your book than the combined content of 80% of all my other books. I have over

Dear Joe:
I really look forward to the video.
Today I was lucky enough to catch the RR Track trade that started just after
noon on the 5 min S&P chart and went from 1069 to 1062. They shook me out at
1068.25, but a soon as I got filled I realized it was just a fake out and I got
right back in at 1067.75.
There were 2 good LPOs. One at 1063 and one at 1059.50. They held the price back
at 1065 for a long time before it fell through. Since I felt the downward
pressure on the market I held it through 1063 and it behaved pretty good as it
went through this area. I decided not to be a pig and get out as
soon as it hit 1061. There was one tick at 1061 (on the e-minis) and I
immediately placed an order to close the position at the market and got filled
at 1061.75. The price reversed very quickly.
I was very lucky to 6 handles out of this trade. These are the first 6 handles I
owe to you and your generous sharing of trading concepts that really work.
Thanks.
All the Very Best!

Dear Joe:
I just wanted to send you a note telling you how much I am looking forward to
your seminar. I feel really lucky to have you as a teacher.
For the past month I have really focused in on studying your methods. I have
listened to your 8 tape seminar and read almost all of the DiNapoli Levels book.
I read the book that came with the proportional divider.
I have set my indicators as you prescribed and am using the proportional
divider. It is amazing how well your methods work. I hope and believe that they
will stand the test of time. You can not imagine how much I appreciate your
methods having studied and used other unsuccessful methods for the
past year.
I watched the markets for about two weeks before I really tried using your
methods while trading. My plan for June was not to trade, because I wanted to be
ready for your seminar and I just had so much personal stuff going on.
Anyhow, I just could not not trade. I kept watching the S&P market do exactly
what it should with your methods so I put on three trades all winners. The first
trade was for the first 3.75 handles out of a 23 handle ove. (Sorry I got out
too soon, as the chicken inside me got the better of me). The second trade went
right to the 3/8 Fibnode where I exited my short for a gain of 5.75 handles. I
felt that the market was going to fall much further, but to my surprise it
immediately reversed and went the other way. I am sure glad that I went for the
COP. The third trade I had to exit early because I was traveling and I had to
go. The MACD still had me short but I got out with a gain of 1.75 handles.
All I can say is that it is great to be making winning trades and I want to
thank you in advance for your great teachings. The only thing that I regret is
that I bought your book and tapes in November of last year and I didn't start
reading and listening to them until June; 8 months after I bought them.
See you on Saturday,
All the Best,

I am not in the habit of constantly contacting teachers when I begin

you that I have begun reading your book and trading your levels.
First, the book is really well written and concise.
Second, I have started trading your levels and have had great success. I have
been keeping close stops, since the markets are "War Crazy". But I've acheived
about 88% success so far. I'm trading small until I can digest more of your
book.
Thanks very much for putting your ideas out there. That is certainly one of the
biggest risks you have taken.
Take care,

Dear Joe:
Thanks for holding this seminar. I will attend it and really look forward to it
with great anticipation.
I have been reading your book DiNapoli levels. The more I read the deeper my
respect grows for you. I know that your techniques will be very helpful to my
trading results. My only regret is that I spent so much time trying to figure
out successful S&P trading techniques that have been dead end streets. I spent 6
months on xxxxxxxxx trading techniques and the markets have changed so that his
xxxx trading methods and set ups have a low probability of success and a high
probability of risk. This is primarily due to decimalization and more funds on
the NYSE affecting the way the tick is behaving.
Although XXXX is a great guy and I learned much from him, I lost about 6 months
towards my goal of being a profitable trader on a consistent basis.
So far I have been able to listen to 4 of your tapes and I am through chapter 4
in your book. My goal is by the time of your seminar I will have finished the
tapes and your book. I want to come to the seminar with a certain degree of
knowledge so that what you teach will be more meaningful. So far in your Las
Vegas seminars, the tapes and the book I have thoroughly enjoyed your teachings.
Thank you for your sharing of techniques that really work to help a trader like
me make more money at the end of the day. I especially thank you for the 3
period rule, and the never let a substantial profit turn into a loss rule. These
concepts and their application have really helped me cut my losses. After a year
of trading I am about break even now.
I want you to know that I really appreciate your sharing these tricks of the
trade at your free seminar in Las Vegas.
Sorry for rambling so long. I just want you to know where I am coming from.

Hi Joe,
I just received my book & course through a friend (who came over from the
States) last night & I'm already on Chapter 8. You are a bloody good writer! Why
isn't the book available at Amazon - I'm sure I would have come across ages ago
& saved myself the time & money I've wasted on other books. I'm hoping that this
will be the last trading book I buy in a long long time. Do you plan to write
another book?
Is there any similarity b/w DLevels and - Robert Fischer's, Bernard Mitchell's,
Ed Moore's or Robert Miner's methodologies? A friend of mine said they are all
the same thing packaged differently. Judging from websites alone, DLevels (in my
own opinion) appears the most authentic & I wondered if you could shed any more
light.
Many thanks.
O.U.
No more books planned for a time-- just too difficult if you do a good job.
video project is due out some time soon.
We could not reach an agreement with Amazon.
There are similarities between D-Levels and other books on the subject of
trading.
Some of the people you have mentioned were former students.
Just like cooks--some really understand the subject and know what to do
with it, some are good, some are poor, and some make you throw up.
I'll leave it to the student/client to decide where I fit in. Judging from
the response I think most find the material quite useful and well done.
Thanks for your comments,

I'm the opinionated one that used to work for Ken Roberts. I just wanted to
congratulate you on and thank you for the great time Saturday. The time seemed
to fly by . I especially appreciate your clear-headed and objective analyses.
Even in the area of politics (where objectivity is sorely lacking) you can stand
back and see things as they are. Maybe, given your fundamental analysis of the
world scene coupled with the technical analysis of bonds you showed us, it IS
time to move to Thailand.
I also greatly appreciate the insight into the "Modified" trading plan you
showed us. I intend to investigate that one thoroughly. The rest, well, I guess
it was in the book but the review was much appreciated. I, for instance, need to
reexamine my use of the 3x3. I hardly pay attention at the moment, on any time
frame. Something I have known is wrong for some time but I still don't feel I
have a good way to correct. The psychology of the whole thing is just weird
sometimes.
Again, Joe,
My thanks,

Neal,
Since the seminar last month, I have either gotten lucky or some of what you
were teaching has ubbed off. Boy what a difference in results!
I don't think I'm out of the woods yet, however, as I make one mistake after
another. What is so interesting is that when I am entering with the DiNapoli
wind at my back, the mistakes turn out to be not so very severe, or I can
recover from them and actually make a dollar or two. It's also nice to be able
to recognize a mistake and not just blunder along clueless.
Thanks, Neal, for the excellent and effective presentation. I could see that you
work very hard for your students. My notes are a goldmine of information.
All best,
Michael M.

It was the most informative seminar I have been to. The reason is that I have
always wondered why the price moves when it does and what causes it to move.
With your course I now have a chance to predict those moves, that in the past,
where unexplained. The section on indicators and how to bracket the time frames
I also needed to hear.
I purchased your Thrust Scanner software and have just finished my first scan.
Thanks Again,

Hi Joe-
I attended the seminar taught by Neal this past weekend, and I can to tell you
it is the best class on trading I have ever taken, and I have taken many! He did
a fabulous job of presenting the material in an organized format, then tied it
all together in the end with real strategies that I will put to work this week.
Your industry is filled with hucksters' who flunked out as traders, so they
instead turn to teaching and/or selling deceptive software programs. It is
obvious that Neal is a "Real" trader, and the fact that he is a gifted teacher
as well is very rare.
I read your book several times before taking the seminar, (which I would
recommend to anyone planning on attending) and it has made a significant
difference in my trading even before the class. It is hands-down the best book I
have read for anyone serious about being a trader, and with Neal
teaching your material you have an unbeatable combination.
I will enthusiastically recommend both your materials and your training to
anyone smart enough to listen.
Brad M.
Brad,
Thank you so much--
We do our best to give traders what they need as well as what they want and it
is always welcomed when our efforts are appreciated-
All the best you.

beautiful home, and your kind hospitality provided an absolutely perfect
learning environment. Combined with your extraordinary dedication, and teaching
skills, I feel that I was able to derive the maximum benefit from Joe's
material.
Also, I received your follow up with charts included. Thank you again for your
conscientious efforts to make us better traders. I am looking forward to
thanking you, and Joe, with good reason, many more times in the future.
Thanks again for making this a truly pleasant and unique learning experience.

Just a quick note to say a big thanks for a great seminar - it was good to
actually hear someone talking about what up until now I've only really read
about.
I came away with a pretty long list of points that I'd previously
missed/misinterpreted - certainly didn't regret coming on the Seminar - quite
the opposite!
I've come away feeling far more focussed - I'm going to concentrate purely on
daily and weekly B&Bs for the

A special thanks for shining a light in the fog. I have been trading for about a
year and have easily spent $30K on various seminars. The results are an
unbelievable amount of work, serous skepticism (or sarcasm) of anyone presenting
anything anywhere, and my wife thinking I have lost my mind. Fact for me is,
most who teach, are clueless. Fact is also I love to trade, will not give up,
and wish I had started 25 years ago.
Your book and presentation have given me an insight into trading that I always
felt existed, but was unable to grasp. Your material is most encouraging.
If there is anyway to join you or your colleagues in the private instruction of
your system, I would be appreciative. I understand the current class is full,
but if there is enough interest maybe you will do another one. I live in
Sarasota.

There were some questions that I had that were answered during the weekend so

Could you please advise the name of one or two good real forex brokers?
Your interview in Active Trader Magazine in October 2001 stressed how important
selecting the right broker is for real forex trading.
I have been trading futures and stocks almost 30 years but have not traded real
forex. Also, I have no contact with anyone who does trade reaal forex. Help!
Please point me in the right direction concerning forex brokers.
Thanks.

The very best Guy I know is Gary Tilken http://www.gftforex.com/
Very honest -- very fair.
Also some day his software will have correct DiNapoli indicators in them.
Tell Gary I sent you along (there is strength in numbers) and if there are
any issues dealing with Gary's firm we would like to know.
So far, everyone has been very pleased with him.

Dear Fibnodes,
I originally learned of Fibonacci principals from Joe DiNapoli who was a guest
on a business channel (Channel 22) that was broadcasted from San Diego, CA, back
in 1999. Thereafter, this business channel was changed to a new station and I
lost track of it. It was hosted by Mike Russell and I wanted to know if Mr.
DiNapoli is still appearing as Mr. Russell's guest on this program. If so, what
is the new channel?????? I would LOVE to find this program again. Can you give

would like to continue using them. I don't have XXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXX/XXXX(tried
them and did not like some aspect of each) and would like to stay simple.
What product would benefit me most? My understanding from reading your book and

I Would appreciate your comments and thoughts before I purchase a product.
Many Thanx

Mano,
I've forwarded this to Neal our software expert- neal@fibtrader.com
See the following link if you haven't already:
http://www.fibtrader.com/learning_path.html
The FibNodes software would be an excellent next step but you may want to
include the Trading Course.
Esignal and Ensign would be fine! Ensign does (or did) all our indicators (MACD
Stochastic etc)properly.
The whole approach was developed on the 5 minute S&P which I've been trading
since it started in 1982 so you've got the best stuff for the job.

failure "on my crazy 225 min chart. It came off a treat. I recommended this on
the Gxxxxx-Vxxx forex forum, and since then I've had a few enquiries about this
methodology. I pointed them in your direction so expect an influx of requests
for "DiNapoli Levels" through Coast Investment or the Gxxxxx-Vxxx bookstore. I
hope you don't mind as you prefer not to have too much exposure and I wished too
help other traders like myself. On thier forum I use the name "Derry N.I.

Mr. Joe DiNapoli,
I purchased your book, "Trading with DiNapoli Levels", sometime last year and I
finally got to study it. While I am truly enjoying and learning a lot of unique
ideas from it, I came across number of numerical mistakes. I am certain you are
aware of it, that in Chapter 12 "Tying it together" every single calculation of
FibNodes, COP and XOP expansion points are wrong. On
chart 12-3 given the F point as 11411 and the 0.382 retracement as 11421, the
reaction point should be 11437, which is approximately where the top of the gap
is. So is incorrect the COP OP and XOP in reference to Chart 11-17.
Possibly there are other similar mistakes in the book.
Would it be possible to receive from you a complete list of corrections you have
made to the 1998 edition?
Thank you in advance,
B. H.
From: Trader Jo
Hi B.,
We have corrected a few Typos but there has never been a case where calculations
were known to be incorrect. You would not believe the number of edits prior to
release!
I think the issue you raise has to do with calculations on bonds where the last
2 digits are in 32nds, since this is the way the instrument trades.
For fast user interaction in explosive and volatile markets the FibNodes
software recognizes, calculates and displays bond and note instruments in 32nds.
This is much better for the trader.
We're very glad you enjoyed the book!

Dear Sir/Madam
I've been successfully trading options part time for the last three year's. One
month ago I purchased a book from your organization called Trading with DiNapoli
Levels and have read it cover to cover twice (and plan to read it many more
times). Could you please do me a big favor and pass onto Mr DiNapoli my thank's
and congratulation's on writing such a good book. I've read a lot of book's on
the topic of Technical Analysis and this is by far one of the best I've read so
far. My long term goal is to trade my own account full time and with the
teachings from this book. I can see that happening a lot sooner than I
originally thought.
Once again thank you...

Joe,
When I first started trading in 1999, I bought and read Trading with DiNapoli
Levels, bought and used (to some extent) both versions of your software, and
took your Fibonacci Money Management and Trend Analysis Trading Course. I'll
spare you the details, but I got away from your strategies and methodologies
early on without learning them well.
As luck would have it, I enjoyed some wonderful beginner's luck short term
trading beans and making profits in other markets with a couple of good systems
during 1999 and 2000. Like a typical beginner, though, I've never learned a
strong discipline well enough to operate on my own. This year I started trying
to develop and use my own strategies. The market has handed
me my ass.
After all this experience, I can see much more clearly the value of your
technique. So, I am getting back to it. I am trading intraday now with a $50,000
account, using CQG. What would you suggest I do to get back up to speed with
your stuff? I have now been humbled and feel mature enough as a trader to learn
some of the things you taught but I didn't appreciate in
the beginning.
Thanks,

Hi, Joe!
I bought your book "Trading with DiNapoli Levels" end of April, set it aside,
and picked it up to read on vacation up at the summer house up north. The only
dumb move was not reading it right away when I got it.
I just wanted to say thanks, because your book is excellent. Really excellent,
actually.
You know those unbelievable calls you warn about? I believe in unbelievable
calls. I'm not getting overconfident yet. Just today I calculated the LPOs on an
ABC market swing and I'll be damned if we didn't hit the COP already, pause, and
go on. My first Minesweeper. Calculated from a 60 min chart, entry using a 5-min
and a 30-min pair. I used my own definition of Trend and Direction since I
haven't figured out the Stochastic/MACD combo you use yet. I do use a MACD, but
it may not be the one you recommend. However, the 3X3 DMA is VERY useful used in
conjunction with my own definitions. Yep, I checked on
Direction and Trend in Monthly, Weekly, and Daily charts before I got to the 60
min chart. You warned me not to get lazy and I won't.

I've been applying Joe's techniques for several months now using 'liquid' stocks
- mainly directionals on thrusting stocks. I'm using
stockcharts.com's customisable stockscreener to try and find adequately
thrusting stocks.
I'm still papertrading following a statistically amazing run of small losses
early on, but am now starting to consistently hit winning trades. I figured that
if you can't 'make money' on paper trades there's little probability of being
able to do so using the real thing.
Anyway - am finding this Board (client forums) hugely helpful - thanks Joe and

Good book on the subject; better than Pxxxxxxxx - 3x times the price, also.... a
good book that covers most of the things that you'd need to know about Fib and
trading techniques with it. Plus how to make a system, details about some of the
usual indicators that you see on your average trading software.
A complete package since DiNapoli has it's own indicators for TS.....that you
can use to implement some of his good ideas on trading. He also has his own
forum of discussion for support. It improved my trading since most of the Fib
patterns can show you low risk/high probability trades...

moves and finally clearly see the integration of the time frames, really
understand the effect of direction, which is a hell of a lot more significant
than i previously thought or realized. It all came together the last four days.
I have no other reason to tell you than I really mean it, but your genius really
shows through once one understands what's going on. It really is like a flowing

myself for having stuck with it for the THIRTEEN years ! since I first met you.
The material has never gotten a chance given the piecemeal way I've tried to
trade. I have never really gotten it until now and its like a light comes on
when you finally see it.
All the times I've heard you speak (two private seminars) and multiple listening
to the tapes and reading the book, you just don't get it until you sit hour
after hour, bump your head multiple times, make multiple errors and finally see
it.
Dealing in numbers, charts, money, competition, its probably hard to realize the

Subject Reply to your DiNapoli Workshop message.
Dear Joe
What a terrific teacher you are! I really appreciate your clarity and
directness. It's refreshing.
I have to tell you that even without using the power of the MACD/Stochastic
comb. which I am learning to use, the use of the 3 X 3 in itself, along with the
leading indicators work, has resulted in an increase--in the market since
April!--of nearly 75 % in my profits. I thought I was a pretty savvy trader, but
I feel like I've been a freshman until discovering the power of this work.
Here's a mystery to me. I'm not sure, but I think that none of the direct access
brokers have displaced moving averages available in their charting software. I
don't know whether to be pxxxxx or thrilled! Some (not all) major data vendors
do have it, but as you know, they don't always set the line out the actual
periods, which creates a visual problem.
Thanks Joe, you are a champ.
Joe DiNapoli:
G. Max,
There's really a lot to your question.
I use the 3X3 on Day week and monthly charts-- Only in thrusting markets though
there is some limited value in sloppy markets where i depend more on the 7X5 or
25X5.
Then I drop to the MACD/Stochastic for all intra day analysis. I also may use
the MACD/Stochastic for the higher time frames as well as a conformation of the
trend as defined by the DMA's.There are variations of use for these indicators
which depend largely on your experience and skill level in using them. The DMA's
are easier to use while the MACD/Stochastic is more powerful.The most powerful
use of the 3x3 is in defining 3 of your directional signals and to help you to
define thrust.
Hope this helps.

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.

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,
Randy S.

Dear Pat
Hello! We hope you and Joe are well. John and I are doing quite well, having
lots of fun trading in and out of some of the recent Nasdaq double RePo's. We
very much enjoyed listening to Txx Oxxxx's recent interview with Joe and his
remarkable analysis of the Nasdaq retracement.
A young trader named Karl recently contacted us regarding learning more about
trading fib levels. Karl indicated he has been trading successfully for about a
year and has expressed great interest in learning more about >using Fibonacci in
trading. We gave him a short synopsis of DiNapoli Levels over dinner and
suggested he contact you about purchasing Joe's book, a set
of dividers and the divider instruction book. I have given him your e-mail

For a not wealthy person such as myself, it is the perfect solution. I admit I

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 another private
seminar, a follow up session or some other format.

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!

Subject "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.

Jason,
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.
When you get the book see page 17. I 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).

To trade and make money one should stick to their trading methodology, this is
the only way for me to know if I am at fault or is it the methodology, therefore
I can sort the problem out at hand and go forward.
The rules state that a failure is a very strong Directional indicator in play
and we should ride with it, so I never see this as a problem. The trading plan
is laid out, so I sitck to it.
No second guessing or changing horses in midstream for me anymore.
I had no problems getting on board the failure, they nearly always turn out as
very profitable trades. Thanks to the techniqes you put forward to us, they are
paying of handsomely.

I just wanted to thank you again for a great seminar. I really liked your
teaching style and learned a lot in the two days we had. I think the biggest
help for me was putting many of the different components of Joe's book into a
coherent context that I could work from. I just wasn't seeing some of the system
linkages and connections until they were discussed at the seminar. The
material's you presented and the discussion really helped me see the forest thru
the trees. I understand time frame and direction much better and have made
adjustments in my trading approach to reduce risk and improve money management.
I've also expanded my application of LPO's and fibnode retracements and pay much
more attention to thrust. Most important I'm having successful trades with
reasonable expectations and making some money. There's always more to learn but
the opportunity to discuss these techniques has really cemented things I was
doing correctly, and given me more confidence in applying Fibonacci. Your
suggestions and comments were invaluable!
Overall it was a very worthwhile experience and I plan to do it again in the

Subject: Re: "Coast Trading Package". "proprietary Oscillator

Mel,
You have the correct software, there is only one Oscillator Predictor.. When
Joe's book was printed, the Coast Trading Package was in a MS-DOS format, what
you have is the revised official Windows version of the Coast Trading Package.
You will notice that the "bands" are printed to the right of the most recent
price bar, predicting the maximum overbought and oversold levels using the
parametric equation applied to the Detrend Oscillator extremes...So the values
of the "bands" are the upper and lower values that would have been supplied by
the old DOS version of the software. This method is approved by Joe himself and
is how he uses it in his trading.
Thanks for your kind words

It was a pleasure to visit the Coast booth at the Dxxxxxxx Exxx a few weeks ago,
and a pleasure to meet Neal - and didn't we meet

useful and thought provoking information into a very short time frame - and
convinced both of us that his course and tools would be well worth the
investment. My latest Nasdaq trade using the Fibnodes has paid for "Levels"

Hi Joe,
I am just emailing you to express my thanks for your book, "Trading with

helped me with my commodities trading since I bought it about a year and a half
ago.
I have been trading in the futures markets for 3 years now.
I would also like to compliment you on your software. It has cut down my
analysis time considerably and is a cinch to operate.
I..... worked for an xxxxxx-based brokerage for nearly a year and recommended
your study materials to the
really serious traders that I dealt with. I found that most people wanted
winning trades handed to them on a platter
and were not interested in putting forth the amount of effort neccessary to
realistically succeed in this business.
I recently read a published interview with you where you were quoted as saying
to expect to spend 3 to 5 years
learning how to trade and about $30,000 to $50,000. I faxed copies of this
interview to people who I thought
would benefit from an accurate perspective of the futures markets.

Hi Joe,
I am only half way through your book and I am already very excited about the
techinques you teach in the book.
I am glad I bought your book..... I believe your book is the best book I have
read so far on the subject of Fib strategies. In
particular, yours is the first book that actually tells me when I am wrong and
when I am right. That is the key to any
successful trading......
Thanks,

I Just wanted to thank you again for two day education (and an education it

since............... I worked ...out East in '73/'74. As I think you realize,
your theories and application are an eye opener for me and am exceedingly

Do you know anything about the other packages/software he (Joe DiNapoli)

Stuart,
(tradersgroup@egroups.com)
Response from other member:
Stuart:
I have owned various versions of his software since the late 1980's. I do own
proportional dividers. In my opinion,
unless you keep hand updated charts [I do], you probably don't need them. The
software, FibNodes, is really good if
you use fib retracements, projections and look for the confluences and
agreements in these numbers. The new version
even allows you to connect it to Signal On-line and have your recent swing
prices updated [I do not have Signal
On-line, though I was given a beta copy of Signal On-line at about the same time
and used both together for real-time
trading--very nice].
The older DOS version had some very nifty market preparations built in that have
since disappeared [but then, most other traders now days have a tool like DT or
GET that allow them to set Oscillator levels and scan, for instance]. I have the
new version on my trading desk, and I admit I also keep the older version handy
as well. This software fits nicely with my trading tools--and I'd think traders
that use DT or GET and do fib work would find it very useful.
Finally, I'd add that Joe DiNapoli, Neal Hughes and Tony DiNatale do a great job
of teaching and answering questions
on the forums there. You can ask a question, beginning or extremely advanced,
and they will patiently set up charts and projections and retracements, etc.
until you understand. And they constantly put up examples that are in the
current markets that would suit the trading techniques they are teaching. The
FibTrader forum is really a hidden gem.
I don't work for Joe or his firm, but I do advocate the tools he teaches and the
trading styles shown in his work. I'd say Joe DiNapoli probably taught me more
about trade by trade money management than any other person during my career.
And by the way, he's a nice guy [rare for high profile traders these days].

WOW - is all i can say about your trend trading methodology. It is all dependant
on time frame and how the MACD interacts on the time frame you are trading and
the higher time frame. Iit has taken me around 4 weeks to get this after our
seminar together but it has been worth it. L. was asking about the Trend
Analysis Audio cassette course and I highly recommended it to him,so you should

continues to be, a great learning experience. Now, I want to know what I can do
next (what makes sense?) to further my D-education.
I'm probably too green for a private tutorial, though I would like to be
notified of the next one. I thought the trading course might be
redundant, but is it? And I know you have the mini-trading course. Knowing what
I've done thus far, what do you recommend? This approach fully fits my
personality and I can instinctively see the merit in it, so I want to be as
well-educated about it as I can be.
Real trading is essential, and I am now doing that. But what's the next best

I can't tell you how valuable the set of tapes [that include money management]

sloppy, I always focus in on the material on the tapes just before I return to

difference.
Once a trader has gotten past the stage of looking for the Holy Grail and begins
working at trading for a living, the materials on those tapes are as good as
gold.

Very few professional traders make themselves available to new or inexperienced

profitable, and your seminars and forums are not geared to selling the newest
product, but rather, the application of sound trading and money management
principals [This forum is a great example].
Learning to trade successfully is difficult--New traders do not deserve to have
to run the gamut of 'get rich' products that confront them from every angle. It
would be nice if there were 'Good Traders Seal of Approval' we could give to
products like Fibnodes and your tapes--products that are actually used by
professional traders that trade for a living and that would be a great addition
to any person looking to be a better trader.

Subject: Re: leading/lagging indicators
Good morning Rt´s,
I need a little help from you. I´m running constantly in problems when trying to
decide which indicators are leading and which are lagging. Could you please just
list some, so I get a clearer picture of leading and lagging (I guess I´m
lagging on this).
Thanks in advance - Ulrich
Hello Ulrich,
Any indicator which issues a signal AFTER price has moved, is a lagging
indicator. MACD, Stochastic, RSI, Moving Averages as they are commonly used are
lagging.
Leading indicators (attempt to) tell you where prices will go (or turn/find
upport/resistance) BEFORE they get there. Leading indicators are predictive
(though not reliable for mechanical/blind trading). It's fair to say that
leading indicators usually require subjective human interpretation, which is why
novice traders have difficulty with them.
Examples of leading indicators in Fibonacci, price patterns (such as Triangles,
Double-RePo's, Head-and-shoulders), and price pattern failures
(Head-and-shoulder failure for example),... etc..... I use Fibonacci,
price-patterns, and price-pattern failures all the time. For me, trading without
leading indicators is like flying an airplane in fog without instruments.
Combining leading and lagging indicators across multiple time-frames is very
powerful. Leading indicators are valuable in deciding when to fade a common
lagging indicator. For example, you know that the blind followers of the common
Stochastic 25/75 will be on the wrong side of the market on the first false
signal it gives near major Fibonacci support/resistance (they will drive price
right to a Fib level, where your entry stop is, then they will be scrambling to
reverse just as you are taking a profit)....
Best wishes,
-Neal

You say you use Double-Repo's and price pattern failures, can you please give me
more info. on these or a reference so that I can find out more.
Thanks,
Garry
From: Neal
Subject: Leading/Lagging Indicators
Garry,
The Double-RePo is a price pattern invented/discovered by Joe DiNapoli. See the
website http://www.fibtrader.com
for details. DiNapoli has 9 predictive price-patterns. One of the nine is
actually a category of patterns, specifically called "price pattern failures".
The concept is that price patterns are widely monitored and traded, so when such
a pattern fails (price goes the wrong way), there are many people who are in a
losing trade, so the resulting price move can be very profitable for those who
trade these failures..
For example, a stock may be making a typical Triangle, or Head-and-Shoulders
price pattern. People take positions
based on the typical outcome of such patterns. If the price movement as the
pattern completes actually moves in the direction opposite to what was expected,
many traders will exit via their stop-loss orders.. If you know how to define
such a failure you could benefit by taking a position as the pattern fails, when
other traders are about to start panicking.
Best wishes,
-Neal.

Just a quick note to thank you for your hospitality, and Joe for his ability to
change what I see every time I now look at a chart !
I enjoyed the private tutorial very much, in fact I felt very uncomfortable with
my level of knowledge of the "fib" work ..... which
is good because we know that we are learning when the "brain" goes on "tilt"! I
have found that I "replay" the questions and interaction that we had on a
regular basis in combination with reading the book and material again ...
nuances just keep jumping out at me .... GREAT !
I just can't tell you how much help the session was for me ! I have decided to
use xx (once I get the correct formulas) and Fibnodes for now.
Again, thank you for the tutorial and I will let you know how I progress!

Randy,
From personal experience, I highly recommend Joe DiNapoli. He is an accomplished
trader, and has a complete trading methodology (not just a "system").
I've been trained by him, and my skills jumped to a new level because of his
training.
He is well respected in the industry, I know this, because I have interviewed
several professional traders on my web-pages, and they all respect him.
When you talk to Joe, ask him to tell you what G. L. said about him. His comment
about Joe will interest you, because L. talks to a lot of traders, and L.made an
observation about traders who have been trained by Joe.
Ethically, and personally, Joe is a great guy. Yes, I'm sold on him! Why not? I

Thanks for following up but you filled up a huge gap after I talked with you. As

timeframes.
By the way, in the last few days since then, I am back on track. After talking
to you, I re-emphasized the DMA's, I am now using it in even the smaller
timeframes, 5, 30min, using it in context the way you prescribed. I now get a

So, I'll try a recap now that my mind is a little clearer . .
Your statement below regarding the MACD and Stochastic combination is
essentially correct. It appears that you understand the use of these indicators
and the last thing that I want is for you to misinterpret my comments and
disregard what you have already learned . .
What you need to do in trading is establish a hierarchy of decision making to
formulate the context. Based on the following items I would not have been
looking to sell this market; therefore, the false signals given below would not
have created a loss for me. We had just broken into new high ground from
consolidation and down move. We were above the 25 by 5 and the 3 by 3. We were
not particularly over bought, so I would not choose to be a seller. If you were
using some directional indicator of your own which told you to sell, you were
properly using the MACD Stochastic indicators. You would then be stopped out
quickly. I saw no directional indicator to support the sale that you referred to
below. The bottom line is this: context context context context context.

I'm about half way through the DiNapoli Levels book, and all I can say is that
it is fantastic. Especially for anyone who, experieced like myself, has read
many books on TA and market psychology only to be left with the questions, "so
now how do I use this?" and "ok, what do I do next?" Even if we ignore the
specifics of the methods, the explanation of how an expert approaches a market
and applies TA is excellent.

Dear Joe,
Trading with DiNapoli Levels is not just about Fibonacci Analysis. It’s much
more than that. It’s a veritable treasure-trove of golden nuggets that every
trader - who wants to be successful - should pay heed. The book’s conversational
flow makes you feel like you’re sitting right there next to Joe in his trading
room while he works his magic. The discussion on leading indicators and
judgmental trading dovetails nicely with my own work. Whether you’re new to
trading or have been at it for a while, Trading with DiNapoli Levels belongs on
your must-read list.

DiNapoli,
I calculated Fib profit objective at $21.50 so decided to get out just above
there.. Oooooh, YeSSSSSSSSS!
Thank you Mr DiNapoli and Mr Fibonacci.. (Enough gloating now, bad for karma,
that's it for this year).

Dear Joe,
Received your wonderful book this morning in the post. Thanks so much.
It's so beautifully written, so detail, so practical, - it must have taken you
ages to complete it, the sacrifices you made must be tremendous. A lot of
thought must have been put into it. You virtually bared all your trading secrets
in this book.
The cover of the book is very attractive as well.
Warmest Regards. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year!

I'd like to draw your attention to a great Joe DiNapoli Double-repo trade I
made...
When I shorted this stock (NBR) on Nov 12th at $40.88 I was not certain that it
would turn out to be a valid Double-Repo since the top formation was a bit
"iffy".. So, I took a close profit-objective and banked about $1,200 in a week
or so.
It turns out the signal was valid, and look a the thrusting down-movement since
then! These patterns are what makes for a higher success rate.. (I've already
bragged that 85% of my November trades were winners). This is one pattern which
would make me trade against the prevailing trend.

You could not have done better! I like the bright colors against the black
background, a good simple uncluttered look, and right to the point - nice going!
Heres the real test:: My youngest son from Cleveland is visiting us. He is not
an investor -- far from it! although he has seen my charts. (whenever I can pin
him down and make him look at them)
One glance at the jacket and he knew exactly what it was saying. He knew at once
that the price was rebounding off of support and resistance of different
strengths. Amazing!
Joe, I'm happy that you didn't go with some nebulous, abstract design, This book
is going to become a classic, and the jacket design fits it!
I am really happy for you.

You did a very good job of developing your own unique brand of market analysis.
Great book!
The style is as though you are sitting in the room with me. I appreciate the
thought and effort you must have behind this.

Hello Joe,
I am finished with the book.
Quite a piece of work, I am impressed. You really laid out your ideas in an
understandable, readable manner, and were teaching from cover to cover!
This is more than a "book" , It is actually a home study course, and will give
full value for the serious readers money.

Hi Joe,
I didn't make any $ today but I "traded well" I was on the wrong side of that
huge spike in the Swiss today, but knowing the fibnodes saved me from closing
the position in panic and taking a big loss ( like I have done in the past). I
sold another Swiss after the spike and was able to average down to where I was
only out the commission. It could have been a lot worse! Love Fibnodes, the
Swiss closed EXACTLY at the 5/8 support number!
Incredible!
Hope you're well and busy, best regards -

G`Day Joe,
I am writing to thank you for the most amazing and best seminar I have ever
attended.
Firstly the seminar. As you know my experience in the market place is one of a
floor local learning a completely new game of screen trader. The transition has
come with great difficulty as my floor conditionings are deep, however your
trading mythology has helped me enormously. Attending your Seminar has cleared
up every grey area I have had with my trading. My confidence is extremely high
(and focused) after this seminar and my success rate is also very high. Your
incredible trading discipline has taught me how to succeed. This seminar without
a doubt has given me the final key to the treasure chest, thank you.

Joe,
">>>The seminar itself was great and I can already see the impact it is going to
have on my trading even though I've only been back at trading for a week now.
So, thanks again, Joe. I'm looking forward to next time.
JJ
Joe,
As far as the trading seminar, I learned more than I expected, and only some of
it was technical. Watching your discipline, patience, and organization; hearing
the discussions that go on in your head about where stops are located and what
will bring in buying and selling; hearing you evaluate various scenarios for a
trade moving in your direction or moving against you; cross-market analysis to
aid you in your decisions; your integrated view of several time periods; trading
tight vs. trading loose, etc., etc., etc.. After the trading sessions we'd
discuss what we learned and observed, and I spent time capturing as much as I
could in my notebook. Weeks later I'm still writing and investigating the things
that we experienced there. I also struck up some great friendships there. I'd
recommend the seminar to anyone serious about trading - from those wishing to
profitably direct their assets in an IRA account, to those presently in or
pursuing a career in the trading profession, and anyone in between. Fantastic
content especially if you exercise your powers of observation.
Thanks again Joe, we hope to get the chance to visit you and Pat again sometime
soon in Thailand,
PW
Joe,
I was able to attend a great seminar with my mentor who is the smartest man I
know in the trading business ,
I am Blessed.
Thanks Joe,

"Having read TWDL a few times and started applying the
techniques the initial P-sem was excellent all round.
I would add that discussions not directly related to TWDL (eg about stress
points, shorter exposure of capital at risk, reason for trading, why money may
not be the test of a successful trader etc) which Joe is happy to talk about
when the main agenda is covered were for me a key part of the value of the
course - I would like to thank him again for sharing his knowledge of many years
successfully trading - both with DN levels and generally. Having progressed in
successfully applying DiNapoli levels to most of my trades since the course with
my best trading month to date I can recommend the P-sem wholeheartedly - even if
it means an international flight!"

But also Joe - a very big direct THANK YOU for a fantastic course - seriously! I
felt challenged mentally - something I haven't had for a while!
