Any Current TTM Folk in Here?

Recommended Posts

Just curious if anyone who currently subscribes could let me in on what the general idea is behind HS's new 1 min GC contract setups are using the linear regression channel and the value chart?

 

He kind of hints at it in the free videos but doesn't say it outright. If anyone is feeling generous i'd love to know! :)

 

If not, i understand!

You've made lots of posts about TTM lately, they should just give you a free month for all the advertising going on over here. :helloooo:

 

I admit I've read JC's book and liked the core info, but I would NEVER dream of paying $1k+ for a dumb indicator, typically one we have here for free no less. :o It makes me sick to think people actually pay that much thinking they are getting a grail when they are getting boosted free code that represents little to no edge IMO. JC and HS make bank off people dreaming of trading, I'd love to see their track record for mentorships and chat room users. As in how many of the people that blew big bucks actually became net profitable from what they learned for that money...I bet close to none. A 5 day mentorship is like $7500 with them. :doh:

 

Anyhow...carry on folks. :rofl:

Apparently, there's a lot of suckers born every day in the trading world. Over $2 million a year is how much JC and Hubert make from TTM.

 

Listen to the first 10 mins of this webinar and you'll hear JC in his own words describe it all for ya.

Thats more or less exactly what I said when I heard MC. I guess that answers the 'why do you sell cr*p if you are a successful trader' question. Answer because you can fleece suckers for a substantial amount of money without having to put your margin at risk.

??? I didn't know i was posting a lot about TTM. Not trying to promote them, hell i think i've been doing quite the opposite. Heres a post in a separate discussion about their squeeze indicator i made just over the weekend... as you can see... i'm not exactly what you could call a fanboy.

 

http://forums.babypips.com/62982-post18.html

 

I am however, as the OP mentions curious about this new value chart/LRC setup because i trade off value charts as it is and always want to see how other people are interpreting that indicator.

 

Cheers!

Thanks fs, where do you find these things :o

JC said he made annually, $40K from his book, $980K from his web merchandises and $1.2Million from his subscriptions.

He acknowledged that he is no programmer, just good at powerpoints and presentations. He has found a niche and he tells a good story to newbies - he has found a very low risk way of making money in the trading business and in the video he credited most of that to the internet.

No problem at all.

 

One thing to note. JC is president of TTM. Hubert is vice-president. At one point JC had hired his 24-year-old Latina sister-in-law to work for TTM at a salary of $80K per year as a glorified admin/receptionist (meaning: answer phone and e-mails, process orders, etc...), but she quit, apparently not realizing the gravy train she was riding on. Not pretty smart that one was....:crap:

 

Here's a link to a week in the life of JC that describes it all:

First time I read it I wondered how or why he was paying her so well. I guess now we all know "the rest of the story.":rofl:

Not sure if you are being sarcastic? Ahh OK I think I see what you are saying....poor comprehension skills on my part.

 

Kind of amusing that "Professional Trader and VSA Expert" Gavin Holmes trades live sometimes. Mind you the tiny little accounts are trivial compared to what they are raking in selling cr*p. It's kind of like train wreck TV, you just have to keep watching the presentations to see how low he can go.

Now come on, you got to give some credit where it is due, the world would not have heard of VSA or Tradeguider, not to mention the countless Chart Reading Machines who have been unleashed via the various seminars, courses etc ie. guys who can pull up a chart and tell you what every tinny-winny bar means, these are real smart folks with the ability to read what the smart money is upto, Now that would make them ultra-smarter, would it not;)

 

Am still trying to figure out the abstruse maths logic behind statements like

"90% of the volume activity is professional money" , now how does that explain 95% traders making losses. Then there are other gems like "Markets do not like upbar on high vol, and then Strength appears on downbars on high vol", I guess the latter was being put into practice when Nick Leeson was buying up all those Nikkie contracts as the market was going down and well before VSA days, real smart money going into the market, well you can hear all about that in Aspen if you sign up for the latest course, only 10k for you;)

Nope...and I won't expect a legit reply to that question myself. I think most here are not likely subscribers to the service...I could be wrong. Most here seem to despise vendors selling grails or indicators.

I think you are missing the point which is that the lowest risk, highest profit trades that JC and HS take are in marketing their merchandise and subscriptions. It is not in the trade setups that they market. So if you would like to learn to make money from them then do what they do (marketing) and not what they say they do (trading).

Exactly.

 

And if the OP really wants an answer to his question, I say put your money where your mouth is and go sign up for the $5 TTM trial and find out.

 

Otherwise this thread serves as a catalyst to disprove the myth of TTM and expose it for the marketing machine that it really is. Kudos to JC and Hubert for figuring out how to milk it for all it's worth.

True. We saw what happened when a long-time TL member tried that; it wasn't received well. Then again, if he was able to really make bank using his system, either he'd be trading it exclusively, or certainly he'd be able to pay TL to come aboard as a vendor.

i get that clear as day... but i'm still interested in this one setup.

 

Have you asked them about it? Maybe you can eek out enough information to find out where it was borrowed from. Are you interested in the indicator or the set up?

Sounds like he's interested in the setup, but doesn't want to pay the $5 fee for a 14-day trial of TTM to find out for certain.

    • also ... and barely on topic... Winners (always*) overpay. Buying the dips is a subscription to the belief that winners win by underpaying - when in actuality winners (inevitably/always*) win by overpaying... it’s amazing the percentage of traders who think winners win by underpaying ... “Winners (always*) overpay.” ...  One way to implement this ‘belief’ is to only reenter when prices have emphatically resumed the 'trend' .   (Fwiw, While “Winners (always*) overpay.” holds true in most endeavors (relationships, business, sports, etc...) - “Winners (always*) overpay.”  is especially true for auctions... continuous auctions included.)
    • re:  "Does it make sense to always buy the dips?  “Buy the dip.”  You hear this all the time in crypto investing trading speculation gambling. [zdo taking some liberties] It refers, of course, to buying more bitcoin (or digital assets) when they go down in price: when the price “dips.” Some people brag about “buying the dip," showing they know better than the crowd. Others “buy the dip” as an investment strategy: they’re getting a bargain. The problem is, buying the dip is a fallacy. You can’t buy the dip, because you can't see the total dip until much later. First, I’ll explain this in a way that will make it simple and obvious to you; then I’ll show you a better way of investing. You Only Know the Dip in Hindsight When people talk about “buying the dip,” what they’re really saying is, “I bought when the price was going down.” " ... example of a dip ... 
    • Date: 19th April 2024. Weekly Commodity Market Update: Oil Prices Correct and Supply Concerns Persist.   The ongoing developments in the Middle East sparked a wave of risk aversion and fueled supply concerns and investors headed for safety. Hopes for imminent rate cuts from the Federal Reserve diminish while attention is now turning towards the demand outlook. The Gold price hit a high of $2417.89 per ounce overnight. Sentiment has already calmed down again and bullion is trading at $2376.50 per ounce as haven flows ease. Oil prices initially moved higher as concern over escalating tensions with the WTI contract hit a session high of $85.508 per barrel overnight, before correcting to currently $81.45 per barrel. Oil Prices Under Pressure Amid Middle East Tensions Last week, commodity indexes showed little movement, with Oil prices undergoing a slight correction. Meanwhile, Gold reached yet another record high, mirroring the upward trend in cocoa prices. Once again today, USOil prices experienced a correction and has remained under pressure, retesting the 50-day EMA at $81.00 as we moving into the weekend. Hence, despite the Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran, sentiments stabilized following reports suggesting a measured response aimed at avoiding further escalation. Brent crude futures witnessed a more than 4% leap, driven by concerns over potential disruptions to oil supplies in the Middle East, only to subsequently erase all gains. Similarly with USOIL, UKOIL hovers just below $87 per barrel, marginally below Thursday’s closing figures. Nevertheless, volatility is expected to continue in the market as several potential risks loom:   Disruption to the Strait of Hormuz: The possibility of Iran disrupting navigation through the vital shipping lane, is still in play. The Strait of Hormuz serves as the Persian Gulf’s primary route to international waters, with approximately 21 million barrels of oil passing through daily. Recent events, including Iran’s seizure of an Israel-linked container ship, underscore the geopolitical sensitivity of the region. Tougher Sanctions on Iran: Analysts speculate that the US may impose stricter sanctions on Iranian oil exports or intensify enforcement of existing restrictions. With global oil consumption reaching 102 million barrels per day, Iran’s production of 3.3 million barrels remains significant. Recent actions targeting Venezuelan oil highlight the potential for increased pressure on Iranian exports. OPEC Output Increases: Despite the desire for higher prices, OPEC members such as Saudi Arabia and Russia have constrained output in recent years. However, sustained crude prices above $100 per barrel could prompt concerns about demand and incentivize increased production. The OPEC may opt to boost oil output should tensions escalate further and prices surge. Ukraine Conflict: Amidst the focus on the Middle East, markets overlooking Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Potential retaliatory strikes by Kyiv on Russian oil infrastructure could impact exports, adding further complexity to global oil markets.   Technical Analysis USOIL is marking one of the steepest weekly declines witnessed this year after a brief period of consolidation. The breach below the pivotal support level of 84.00, coupled with the descent below the mid of the 4-month upchannel, signals a possible shift in market sentiment towards a bearish trend reversal. Adding to the bearish outlook are indications such as the downward slope in the RSI. However, the asset still hold above the 50-day EMA which coincides also with the mid of last year’s downleg, with key support zone at $80.00-$81.00. If it breaks this support zone, the focus may shift towards the 200-day EMA and 38.2% Fib. level at $77.60-$79.00. Conversely, a rejection of the $81 level and an upside potential could see the price returning back to $84.00. A break of the latter could trigger the attention back to the December’s resistance, situated around $86.60. A breakthrough above this level could ignite a stronger rally towards the $89.20-$90.00 zone.

    • Date: 18th April 2024. Market News – Stock markets benefit from Dollar correction. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Technical buying, bargain hunting, and risk aversion helped Treasuries rally and unwind recent losses. Yields dropped from the recent 2024 highs. Asian stock markets strengthened, as the US Dollar corrected in the wake of comments from Japan’s currency chief Masato Kanda, who said G7 countries continue to stress that excessive swings and disorderly moves in the foreign exchange market were harmful for economies. US Stockpiles expanded to 10-month high. The data overshadowed the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East as traders await Israel’s response to Iran’s unprecedented recent attack. President Joe Biden called for higher tariffs on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.   Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex stumbled, falling to 105.66 at the end of the day from the intraday high of 106.48. It lost ground against most of its G10 peers. There wasn’t much on the calendar to provide new direction. USDJPY lows retesting the 154 bottom! NOT an intervention yet. BoJ/MoF USDJPY intervention happens when there is more than 100+ pip move in seconds, not 50 pips. USOIL slumped by 3% near $82, as US crude inventories rose by 2.7 million barrels last week, hitting the highest level since last June, while gauges of fuel demand declined. Gold strengthened as the dollar weakened and bullion is trading at $2378.44 per ounce. Market Trends:   Wall Street closed in the red after opening with small corrective gains. The NASDAQ underperformed, slumping -1.15%, with the S&P500 -0.58% lower, while the Dow lost -0.12. The Nikkei closed 0.2% higher, the Hang Seng gained more than 1. European and US futures are finding buyers. A gauge of global chip stocks and AI bellwether Nvidia Corp. have both fallen into a technical correction. The TMSC reported its first profit rise in a year, after strong AI demand revived growth at the world’s biggest contract chipmaker. The main chipmaker to Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp. recorded a 9% rise in net income, beating estimates. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Date: 17th April 2024. Market News – Appetite for risk-taking remains weak. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks, Treasury yields and US Dollar stay firmed. Fed Chair Powell added to the recent sell off. His slightly more hawkish tone further priced out chances for any imminent action and the timing of a cut was pushed out further. He suggested if higher inflation does persist, the Fed will hold rates steady “for as long as needed.” Implied Fed Fund: There remains no real chance for a move on May 1 and at their intraday highs the June implied funds rate future showed only 5 bps, while July reflected only 10 bps. And a full 25 bps was not priced in until November, with 38 bps in cuts seen for 2024. US & EU Economies Diverging: Lagarde says ECB is moving toward rate cuts – if there are no major shocks. UK March CPI inflation falls less than expected. Output price inflation has started to nudge higher, despite another decline in input prices. Together with yesterday’s higher than expected wage numbers, the data will add to the arguments of the hawks at the BoE, which remain very reluctant to contemplate rate cuts. Canada CPI rose 0.6% in March, double the 0.3% February increase BUT core eased. The doors are still open for a possible cut at the next BoC meeting on June 5. IMF revised up its global growth forecast for 2024 with inflation easing, in its new World Economic Outlook. This is consistent with a global soft landing, according to the report. Financial Markets Performance:   USDJPY also inched up to 154.67 on expectations the BoJ will remain accommodative and as the market challenges a perceived 155 red line for MoF intervention. USOIL prices slipped -0.15% to $84.20 per barrel. Gold rose 0.24% to $2389.11 per ounce, a new record closing high as geopolitical risks overshadowed the impacts of rising rates and the stronger dollar. Market Trends:   Wall Street waffled either side of unchanged on the day amid dimming rate cut potential, rising yields, and earnings. The major indexes closed mixed with the Dow up 0.17%, while the S&P500 and NASDAQ lost -0.21% and -0.12%, respectively. Asian stock markets mostly corrected again, with Japanese bourses underperforming and the Nikkei down -1.3%. Mainland China bourses were a notable exception and the CSI 300 rallied 1.4%, but the MSCI Asia Pacific index came close to erasing the gains for this year. Always trade with strict risk management.
