i found woodies CCI to be a breathe of fresh air when i first met them, i even met Woodie a few times for local meeting of the 'club'.
This is a system that has a very small few doing well with, and the rest are all trying to get it to work. this may be true for more educational sites, but this one is a little different.
Due to the fact that you are learning a system that is SO far away from most technical analysis systems that it feels as though you are sacrificing your overall development as a trader by following Woodies instructions to "ignor the damn price bars", which has a good reason behind I understand, but it still is a little strange and a hard way to make a living as a trader....you feel as if youre leaving the proven systems that govern our industry behind...only to watch the Woodie's pattern for the rest of your life....yawn....zzzzz
This community can be a great first experience for a trader b/c they will accept new members with open arms, however, I dont see them as being equipped to train people to trade the way it appears.
with a free community comes the addition to ego-trip moderators, new traders who think they can teach others, and of course the question on everone's mind is always....where is all the money going? Certainly not all to charity!
Like anything else, use cautiion and dont get locked into it for the rest of your career, but use it for what its worth, and you will be the one to find out how much value it will bring to your trading.
Best of luck!
