Hi Dave,
I have just stumbled on your website and am very impressed, it’s clean, precise and straight forward. I have been trading stock on the ASX for about 10 years, was doing well until the crash, now my money has gone on holidays, I didn’t have stop losses as I was div stripping blue chips and underestimated what was to come.
Anyway to cut a long story……. I am going back to the basics and your site is giving me those basics back and that is all you need really.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Graeme
Graeme – many thanks for your comments! You are definitely not alone. The good news is that when things go on holidays they tend to come back stronger, refreshed. By getting back to basics as you say – I have a feeling your portfolio will do just that.
Davo!
Only a true sharemarket enthusiast with such passion can create a place whereby the common people of the land can gather and be inspired by your thoughts and actions!
It’s good to see that there are still people out there with a desire & will to help others.
Great work, great site.
Keep up the good work…
Thankyou Brett! If there is anything else I can do to help, of course please let me know – I am here to serve.
Hi Dave,
Congratulations on your new site, it looks awesome. For people trading the market your site will be a big help to them.
Well done.
JB
PS
If you want to use any of my photo’s for your site I would only to be to happy to share.
JB – you are too kind! Your photos are always welcome here, that is for sure.
I travel a lot Dave and don’t get as much time as I would like to visit. Everytime I get a chance I tell people about your site so keep up the fantastic job.
Thanks….
Thanks Colin it’s always a pleasure! Great to have you here.
Hi Dave
Thanks for a simple and informitive site alond with the regular videos. One question regarding Peaks and Troughs and there identification for interpreting Dow Theory
Does the Down bar have to occur immeaditly after the Up bar eg next trading day, for a trough to be evident. Or can a series of inside and outside bars, all with a lower high than the first Up bar, followed by a Down bar, with a lower high and low than the first Up bar, also indicate a trough? And visa versa.
Thanks again
Cameron
Hi Cameron,
That is an awesome question, and you are absolutely correct – a peak and can be made with an up bar, a series of inside bars, then a down bar. (If you had an outside bar, the peak would be made with a down bar following this one instead).
Vice versa for troughs. Great question!

Hi Dave,
Great site mate, this is all very new to me and all your information is very helpful
A question for you:
Is there anywhere online which shows the biggest daily movers on a realtime basis?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
James.
Hi James,
Thanks! Excellent to have you around. And good question – I have just found a site like this – it is 20 minute delayed, but still very good (and free). http://www.news.com/business/markets will get you the top gainers and losers throughout the day!
Happy trending – Dave
Hi Dave,
Excellent work as usual on your site. Take a look at Dominion Mining, I like the way it has broken well out of it’s down trend and now 2 weekly higher highs and higher lows. It had a massive jump today.
Cheers Colin.
Hey Colin,
Love that chart! Closed above the trend line AND made a Dow Theory entry at $2.90. The only thing I don’t like about it is I missed it, being outside the Top 200!
Hope your trading is going well – Dave
Gday Dave,
I have just received video 5, thanks mate for making these fantastic clips available to everyone.
I’m a slow learner so I’ve probably watched them about 20 times so far LOL, but every time I re watch I pick up another little trick.
I would also like your opinion on charting software, what software do you use in your video tutorials? and what would you recommend at a reasonable price is best for novice traders like me?
I have used FCharts Pro for the last 7 years, although not effectively until I practiced your theories. I have not used and have no experience with any other programs.
I have gone crazy back testing anything and everything on the ASX and enjoying getting back to basics with real charting and forgetting about all my dodgy indicators for a while.
Thanks again Dave for this great site and free videos.
Kind regards – Peter.
Hi Peter,
Love your work! From your comments I can tell you are or soon will be a successful market participant – back testing and getting back to basics are truly the two parts to a winning strategy.
I use Amibroker for my charts – it’s around $200 and does everything I could possibly want (and much more). Using this I get end of day data from Just Data at around $350 a year. Others I know use Incredible Charts (cheaper alternative) or Metastock or Market Analyst (more expensive alternatives).
Hope this helps! – Dave
Davo.
Merry Xmas.
What happened to your 18th December report? Celebrating early?
Regards, Brian
Haha – thanks Brian!
Yes, not much has changed since our last report / prediction so we might as well rest while we can
Looking forward to a great 2011!
Hey Dave, happy new year and a big thanks for 2010 its almost like having an advisor sitting next to me while I make trades. Without you and your website I dont think I would have been as successful as I have (Although I made many many many mistakes). I have been watching your site since nearly the begining after seeing your market watch in 2009 on YouTube when I first started trading and dont know how I would do it without ya so again a BIG THANKS. Matt
Hey Matt,
Wow, since 2009 – thank you – it is really great to have you at the site
I’m right there with you on the mistakes too. All part of the fun!
Hi Dave,
Any chance of doing a one or two video commentaries on the general use of the Amibroker charting program. Setting up, navigation, workbooks, templates etc etc ?
Hey Shane, this is an excellent idea!
I will start working on this now. Any other suggestions just let me know
Hi Dave Matthew here from Adelaide. Just been watching your YouTube clips on your chart reading predictions and I must say I’m very impressed. I am new to trading and don’t know hardly anything about it but just by watching your clips I feel I’ve learnt so much in such a short time so I thank you for that. Anyway the reason as to why I’m contacting you is to ask if you offer any training videos on chart reading as I would like to learn more on trend lines etc. If you have DVDs to sell or YouTube clips which teach this art in more detail then please let me know.
Thanks
Matthew
Hi Matthew – glad to be of service!
I teach technical and fundamental analysis in the complete course (link below), as well as prediction techniques and risk management. There’s a lot of gold in there that no one else will teach in the one place

Happy trending!

Thanks for the amazing information! I’ve looked at a lot of sites that say alot without saying anything – Yours was REALLY useful for a noob investor like me.
Andrew, always a pleasure.
If there is anything more I can do, just let me know
Hi Dave,
I just know your site some days ago. I take some times to visit it. Thanks for your information.
Strange? My email address you don’t recognise yet I receive emails from you? I thought I had joined some time back? Also,
I went to some bother responding to the above website. It has been moderated out! I would have thought it to be good manners to explain why? One spec I mentioned was AQD which I’m pleased to see has performed well (5%) on a down day at this stage. Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi Ray – it’s just the website software default, waits for moderator approval on comments. Once you have one approved you should be ok for future comments.
Good to see your trades at the moment, nice one!
- Dave
Hello Dave,
I have just come back to your site only due to a major development I was involved in and I removed myself mentally from trading to give myself some brainspace. I come back and listen to one of your video reviews and you are still punching way above your league. You deliver an amazing truth to your reports and all I can say is well done, congrats and you deserve all the prosperity for offering your knowledge and passion.
Cheers Colin.
Thanks Colin! And great to have you back here! This year could be a big one indeed. I’m getting involved and keeping stop losses in
Hi, really great if you do show all entry signals and not just what you bought. Great website, thanks Katy
Thanks Katy,
Thank you – looks like everyone is feeling the same way so there should be more entry signals shown soon
Dave
Hey mate,
This is just a thought, but these posts appear in the wrong order… I mean the most recent posts should be at the top with the older ones being down the bottom so you should be scrolling down to find them.
Hope this idea helps
Good call Mark – I’ve changed the setting and will see how it goes. It will only happen from new posts by the looks of it though.
Cheers – Dave
Hi Dave,
Just wonderign when you are doing the next All Ordinaires weekly chart?

Hi Dave,
Just wondering when you are doing the next All Ordinaires weekly chart?
ta
% change afl given below is not working properly, kindly give exact AFL for amibroker.
pchng = ((C – Ref(C,-1)) / Ref(C,-1)) * 100;
Filter = pchng;
AddColumn(Close, “Close Price” );
AddColumn(pchng, “Percent Change” );
Oh dear Hitul,
The code works – try typing it in. Sometimes if you copy and paste directly from a website it carries accross wrongly formatted characters, and this will cause the code not to work.
Type it in, and try again.
