Quote from Anekdoten:
Hey Steve,
I gather from your post that you have a sincere admiration for this guy but I assure you, the ES does not plot pivots every 2-3 points, this would imply the ES daily ATR to be only a fraction of what it currently is!
When someone chooses dozens of numbers where price could decisively react to, in essence what a pivot is, then it kind of gives the impression that you don't have a clue where the real pivots are because ES usually responds to a range of 15-25 points not 2-3 lol.
Attached please find ES Friday's analysis, even on a low volume day ahead of a long weekend holiday which tends to produce short ranges of price fluctuation you can see there is no way in hell the ES has so many pivots.
Sorry man, stating so many pivots is frankly, absurd, but something tells me I will not change your mind.

Anek,
Look at the chart I posted. He gave these levels for the week, before the week started.
As you can see by the chart, price consistently "did something" at or very near the levels he posted.
His lessons teach what signals to watch for *AT THOSE LEVELS* in order to either remain or get on the right side of the trade......or just go to cash.
His lessons teach the basics, i.e. low risk only.
Speaking only for myself......do I trade *only* his methods? No, I've been in this game 10 years so I have my own certain patterns etc. that I will trade. . . things he has never mentioned in his lessons. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose - - that's the market.
But because I've been in this game 10 years, I know good info when I come across it and I can say without hesitation that he offers excellent info for free in his nightly vids. As such, I continue to recommend his stuff.
If you knew me personally, you would know that if I thought his stuff was BS, I'd be the first to either say nothing or tell it like it is.
But I don't care who you are - if you trade or invest in the market, his info is good and it works - but if you only look at one thing he offers without understanding how he teaches the way to use them, then you neglect to understand his lessons that have worked repeatedly and that he offers for free.
Check the comments on his last 100 videos - people who have put time in to learn, have made money - or at least lost less thanks to his free videos.
BTW, after 10 years, I'm still learning.
