What should I read.....if anything for the upcoming workshop?
Thousands of emails have coming pouring into the universal world trading command center the past few days. What should I read, where can I find stuff and read up for the educational workshop coming up at the end of the month.
Well, if you have to read something this book is really the only one I would suggest other then the ones by Mark Douglas of course. Now in this book you wouldn't find anything about the Woodies CCI Club and how he invented it. You wouldn't find any info on any of the 23 setups currently being used nor will you get the lastest greatest research to stay ahead of the world. This book is older then dirt, and is boring to read, but having said that......it a great book for trading.
Now you don't have to buy the book, I have a copy you can read here.....trouble is there are no pictures other then a couple of charts so it's boringggggggg.........

Leave it to a Marine to get in trouble again!!!
The train was pretty crowded as a U.S. Marine walked up and down looking for a seat. The only seat open was taken by Joan Blades of MoveOn.org and her poodle. The war-weary Marine, asked, “Ma’am, may I have that seat?” She just snorted, looked at him, as if he were dirt and said to no one imparticular, “Military bomb throwing types like you are so rude, can’t you see my little Libby is using that seat.”
The Marine walked the entire train, again, but the only available seat was under that dog. “If you don’t mind ma’am, this is the only seat available, I’m on short leave to see my family and I’m plum tired.” “She looked him up and down and yelled, “Not only are you rude and arrogant but who the hell do you think you are just because you wear a uniform.” “The Marine didn’t say a word, but simply picked up the dog and threw it out the window of the moving train. Miss Blades went hysterical, “Is there not a man on this train who will defend my rights?”
Finally, an English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, “Sir, you Yanks often seem to have an extraordinary penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold your fork in the wrong hand, you drive automobiles on the wrong side of the road, and now sir you seem to have actually thrown the wrong bitch out the window.”
Mittens is packed and ready.........for the workshop
Mittens has decided to come to the workshop after all, she doesn't want anyone to know from the Woodies CCI Club so she is hiding out for now. So, if you are at the Knoxville airport waiting for your bags to come down the ramp....and see one drop off the carousel....and hear a meow. Well, you'll know who is inside....ROTFL.
All is set for the workshop and it's FULL......100% sell out....
So NOW let's partieeeeeeeeee.....I mean let's trade it up.....:)

Kiss my Grits...........
Two tourists were driving through Tennessee and stopped for a bite to eat at Bugscuffle. As the waitress approached their table, they asked her "Before we order, can you settle an argument and pronounce where we are really slowly...?
"The blonde waitress leaned over and said "Burrrrr Gurrrrrr King".
JAB
Mittens from the Woodies CCI Club and a chair......
Not sure why she wants on there,
after all it's just a chair so who would care.
But it's the last chair in there,
the workshop is almost full that why she cares.
Mittens talks in her sleep,
about not being just a sheep.
That's why she checks her email,
trying to find that holy grail.
Soon well we all be there,
hope she doesn't shed any hair on there.....:)

BARBARA WALTERS INTERVIEWS SENATOR BARACK OBAMA
Bowack Obama is the junior US Senator from Illinois and a member of the Democratic Party. Born to a bwack Kenyan father and a white American mother he spent most of his childhood in Hawaii. He is among the Democratic Party’s weading candidates for nomination in the 2008 U.S.presidential ewection. He and his wife, Michelle, were married in 1992 and have two daughters. Here is my excwusive interview with the Senator.
Barbara Walters: Welcome to the pwogwam Senator.
Barack Obama: Thank you for having me Barbara.
BW: Do you feel a lot of pressure being the only bwack on the campaign trail?
BO: Not at all, Barbara, although it is an unusual name, it states my heritage and I am proud to be my father’s son.
BW: But it is gwound bweaking for you don’t you agwee?
BO: I can assure you Barbara I never think of it, it was the name I was given and I’m proud to have.
BW: You study histowy do you ever stop and think, “If I was Joe or Chwistopher I wonder what it would be wike”?
BO: Nothing personal to Dennis but I would not want to be called Dennis Obama, even if it meant the Irish vote.
BW: I wead somewhere that you once worked on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
BO: In my younger days I did as a…
BW: …Were you what they call a wunner?
BO: Ah! Say that again.
BW: You know one of those people who wun as fast as a wabbit to pwace orders.
BO: I was actually a currency trader.
BW: Did you wear one of those funny looking jackets?
BO: Yes, it had a big Canadian maple leaf on the back with “U.S.EH” printed underneath.
BW: Do you think that may be one of the weasons Senator Clinton made the comment about you being “irresponsible and naïve” when it comes to foreign affairs?
BO: I hope not, because she made $100,000 trading live cattle futures, doesn’t mean she’s a big fat cow.
BW: I see …Do you twust long ewection cycles?
BO: …Excuse me?
BW: Well, when I was younger I wuved it when the pwimaries were eight months to a year, now it seems two years isn’t...
BO: … I see, I think it’s important to start from primary through secondary, pre- K is definitely too soon.
BW: You definitely see a wesson in wanking here don’t you.
BO: I’m not advocating Wesson over Crisco or any other brand.
BW: Does Harry Weid have anything to do with your campaign?
BO: I’ve acknowledged in my memoir “Dreams from My Father” that as a teenager I experimented with Maui Wowee.As tough as it is, I strongly urge the youth of America not to smoke anything no matter whether it’s Harry Weed, Panama Red or whatever.
BW: Hmm.What about Speaker Pewosi?
BO: Same thing Barbara, we used to call it peyote.
BW: Is it twue you are very fond of Opwa?
BO: Yes, Michelle and I go as often as possible, of course, my schedule at the moment limits the amount of free time we have.
BW: When I’m in Chicago I try to do lunch with her…
BO: …One of our favorites is Die Fledermaus.
BW: I’m not familiar with that. Is that Dearborn and Harrison?
BO: No, Johann Strauss.
BW: Are you alwight on the campaign twail?
BO: No, I’m very proud of my black heritage on my father’s side and always will be.
BW: When your lovely wife Michelle is awound, you seem vewy wight headed.
BO: Far from it, I’m totally comfortable in the skin God gave me.
BW: We will be wight back after this word from our sponsor Wincoln Continental who weminds you to dwive wesponsibly.
(Off camera)
Barack Obama whispers to his wife,” I’m blowing this interview, I don’t understand her, she talks like Congressman Barney Frank or that Elmer Fudd. “Michelle whispers back, “Just remember, every time she pronounces a word starting with ‘w’ it really means the word starts with ‘l’ or ‘r’ and you’ll do fine.”
BW: Welcome back… Senator, you look like you’re in fantastic shape.
BO: I am Barbara, I consider health and fitness among the top priorities and it will be in my administration.
BW: When did you last get weighed?
BO: Ah… that is a rather personal question…ah, but let me assure you Michelle and I have a very healthy relationship.
BW: I’m sure our viewers would like to know what kind of scale it was, bathroom, bedroom, motel, penny arcade?
BO: Hmmm...the scale we use is between one and ten.
BW: Ha! You’re good!
BO: Well, thank you.
BW: You and your beautiful wife Michelle are young and in tune with the current generation, do you worry what inflwuence wappers may have on your two daughters?
BO: No, I can honestly say I not overly concerned about lappers. Most of these dancers are at adult clubs and are not a threat to the general public and in particular to our young children.
BW: What about some of the words they use, does that not concern you?
BO: Come on Barbara, they just say sweet nothing to some one who’s probably had too much to drink. I’m more concerned and so should our nation about the lyrics in some of these rap songs that our youngsters are exposed to day in and day out.
BW: This is very personal to you, I know, and I’m sure you’ve reflected on it for quite some time, what do think of civil wights today?
BO: Well, as you know I am a smoker and I prefer Menthol Lights. I don’t care if people prefer Marlboro lights, Camel lights, Civil lights or whatever brand. Now let me add, that smoking is bad, and I’m trying to quit. “Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em”, is not cool anymore.
BW: Have you thought of any possible wunning mates if you should win the Democratic nomination?
BO: Heavens no Barabara, it’s much too early.
BW: Vewy true I took my time and everything was Whoopi after Wosie.
BO: I couldn’t have said it better my self.
BW: You have a fwight to New Hampshire, after our interview, is that cowect?
BO: That’s correct
BW: Could you tell us where you’ll be in case any of our viewers would like to see you.
BO: Sure Barbara thanks for the opportunity. I’ll be in Litchfield which isn’t to far from Wondonderry.
BW: Good wuck campaigning and we would wuve to have you back again.
BO: Thank you for having me and remember “every wote counts.”
(Whispers to Michelle, “I don’t believe what I just said, let’s get the hell outta here.” “I’m wight behind you dawing”.)

Well, well the workshop is about full.........
No one yet from the Woodies CCI Club has signed up for the educational workshop, but that doesn't surprise me. Woodie, himself, has remained quiet thru all this, but that doesn't surprise me either. Jimsy, Susan and GB and TonyUK are still at it and that doesn't surprise me at all. In fact, this past weekend we wrapped up the details and emailed them out and there are only 3 spots left.
What can you expect at this workshop, well first of all...RULES. Trading is about only two things,
1. Money Management
2. RULES
When you combine them within a certain element, then you can trade without fear. Because deep inside you...you'll know you are doing the right thing, at this moment in time and "you" are in full control. NO FEAR...NO GREED.
But getting the rules that "YOU" can live by is one of the biggest problems people face while trying to learn to trade intra-day. Which rules, what rules and how to get the right rules......that is what this workshop is all about.
Not some smoke and mirror dog and pony show, like our friends at the Woodies CCI Club likes to do at their TAL, but real rules and how to apply them in any market and any timeframe. We aren't going to try and front run the world by using the 29 minute chart to get in before those on the 30 minute and all that crapola and we aren't going to use a lagging indicator and pretend it leads so we can get in and let the world push it in our direction. Only to get our head handed back to us and then say..."HEY, don't worry be happy there are better trades down the road".
What that means is, we got in before you...and when you jumped in following us in the chat room so we got out for a 3 tick profit and you got crapped on, but "Great Trading Everyone."
The petal to the metal on the 29th......:)

One of the best singles ads ever printed:
"SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your car (whatever make or model -- I'm not fussy), hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Call 503-898-xxxx, and ask for Daisy. I'll be waiting."
More than 15,000 men found themselves talking to the ASPCA about an 8-week-old Labrador retriever.

Michigan .......and they wanted a rematch of the Ohio State game.
So last year, Michigan played Ohio State in the "GAME OF THE YEAR" and lost...they also lost to the loser of the national title game, but that's another story. So they decide to play this little team from nowhere in North Carolina and even pay them like $700,000.00 to come and get pounded on......
Turns out the a field goal....just didn't make it thru and number 5 Michigan drops to the way side........and the cool part was that the PSU game was just getting over an the fans stayed there cheering for APP STATE......on the jumbo tron...
Life is funny at times.....isn't it....????

My husband is now working at Walmart as a greeter!!
A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into Wal-Mart with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
The Wal-Mart Greeter said pleasantly, "Good morning,and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?"
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Hell no they aren't!" The older one's 9 and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?"
"I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am,' replied the greeter. 'I just couldn't believe you got laidtwice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart."
Still love my ROSE colored glasses

There is a place for "everyone" at the workshop....
There was a post from MadTrader in the comment section this morning.......
Is this training education open to anyone, even newcomers to your circle of friends. Never been to one of those Woodie things before, sounds like that is probably a good thing. Also, how do we email you with questions or interest? I cannot find your email on this site. THANKS >>>>>>>
Great question, there was a time....in another place.....in fact it was far far away from today. The Woodies CCI Club had taken cash at the door for it's TAL, had found out the DAX wasn't making those 107,000 profits Woodie boosted about almost everyday back then.....it was before Gio and JeanYus....before TW....in fact even before a whole list of people where kicked out of the room for one reason or another. One day a fellow was kicked out because he had the same UserID as someone who had been kicked....wasn't his fault. But that's the way thing go over there day in and day out. After the April 2004 "incident" Woodie himself even sent out an email asking everyone to "come on back" all is forgiven....I did a blog update back then so this isn't something new....check out the archives.
ALL IS FORGIVEN, I will always remember that because it's easier to ask for forgiveness then it is, at times to do the right thing in the first place. COME ON BACK......and I will set up a room so you can talk about whatever you want...using the 9 minute chart to front run the 10 guys trading the 10 minutes....COME IN BACK Dr. Bob and you can talk about the 50 CCI setting.....COME ON BACK and you can talk about symmetry.......yada yada yada but NO ONE DID.
When my house burnt to the ground while under construction, Woodie sent me an email saying he was sorry "even after all the things that has happened". So the question that MadTrader asked is interesting. Interesting because everyone is welcome at my house...everyone...tall ones, short ones, wide ones and narrow ones. Rich ones and poor ones, doctors and lawyers to brick layer and dishwashers.....everyone......including all the newbies out there.....
SO WOODIE, if you want to come and enjoy a great weekend.....seeing a beautiful part of the country with a great heritage. If you want to enjoy some great southern hospitality and sharing of stories and tells.....if you want to give your input and share ideas about trading.....WELL, believe it or not.....
YOU ARE WELCOME IN MY HOME!!!!!!!!!!

EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP DETAILS!!!!!!
ATTENTION....ATTENTION....ATTENTION
RED ALERT....RED ALERT....REALERT...
A 3 DAY EDUCATIONAL TRADING WORKSHOP IN THE HILLS OF TENNESSEE complete with a day of "live" trading!!!!!!!!
SEPTEMBER 28th to the 1st of OCTOBER.......Ya'll Come Now....
HEAR!!!!!!!
DETAILS.........
FRIDAY Sept. 28th
A meet and greet at "The Brewery" on the Parkway in Gatlinburg starting at 8:00pm just ask for me.......
Here is the address but you can ask any desk clerk for directions to the Smoky Mountain Brewery:
865-436-4200 1004 Parkway # 501 Gatlinburg, TN.
SATURDAY Sept. 29th
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN
865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......
9:30am Money Management and we will start out with what I believe is the most important part of any workshop...and that is money management. But this part is also about having problems, fears, depression and so on. Getting out of a slump and how. About believing in yourself and not in some market guru. And how to design a money management system for "your" trading style and then how to monitor it for the best overall results.....
11:30am The "first bar trade" and all the details fit to print.....which ones to avoid, which ones to take and how to manage it......also the three bar reversal and how to manage that one......rules rules and all the rules....along with questions and answers....
12:00...High Noon LUNCH...... Lunch will be from McAllister's Deli....I personally don't like to go to workshop and seminars and the food is something you can't spell or pronounce. So we will have fruit, and all the fixins to make a great sandwich....some potato salad or cole slaw, a nice garden salad and mixed fruit and a dessert for those who didn't eat salad.....ROTFL.........if you have any special needs please let us know so my daughters will be able to have it for you........
1:00pm... Natural Rhythm... I believe there is a natural order to the market, Fibonacci levels and where they come from and how to use them to find a nice safe low risk...or defined risk I guess would be better trade. One of the people I follow and has given me my edge is Carolyn. You can and should study her work at http://www.fibonacciqueen.com/ and also study the site at http://www.mjbraun.net/ which is Mark's. I am been a student of Robert Krausz for a long time and as part of being his student was being involved in Gann's work with Fibonacci levels. Carolyn started her service about 6 years ago or so and I have been with her ever since, there is a reason.......so we will work thru all the levels to find the ones that matter......but study these site if you haven't already. Mark was a student at one time of Carolyn and since gone out on his own, his work is also solid with no smoke and mirrors.....This section is the first of three parts that will get us to a trading plan by Sunday night and ready to trade live on Monday......
3:30pm...Defining a trend using indicators..... this part of the workshop should be the most interesting as we start to build a trading plan. How many indicators do you need, which ones, what time frame is best and on and on. So, this week I will be snapping charts as the week unfolds and these charts will be used for the workshop, no using charts from 3 years ago that worked perfectly. But rather charts from the unknown at this point in time. It would be a good idea then, as the week unfolds to take notes about problems you are having so we can talk about them since we will be working off the same page.....that is the 9 minute, 3 minute and the 144 tick charts of the ER. But we will define a trend and then define a pullback in the direction of the trend and then even go so far as to define a COUNTER TREND SETUP and when it's safe to actually take that one......
I expect this to go into Sunday also.......since we will be ending up for the day around 5:00pm....
BREAKS: Anyone that knows me knows I could talk about trading long after the cows come home, so we will take breaks when I see that more then 4 people are either praying or taking a nap....about 10-15 minutes so we can all walk around and take a potty break.
6:00pm....DINNER.....I know a few of you would like to tour the house, hug a tree and we have a few inside the house, see my office and so on. So, I have arranged for a hillbilly band to come and play while we eat dinner at the house, open bar....of course. This will give everyone time to talk to the other attendees, network, share stories and whatever. Trading is sometimes a lonely business and this will give you the opportunity to meet others that share a common goal. But at 9:00pm YOU ARE OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!
SUNDAY Sept 30th
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN
865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......
9:30am......Defining a trend using indicators...not sure where we will leave off from yesterday but wherever it is this is where we will pickup on......this part of the workshop is to explore how to develop a trading plan, back test it, keep records or a log, and find out if it's just more noise or something of value. How many indicators do you need, which ones talk the talk and which ones don't walk the walk. By the time we are done with the second part of this you will be ready for the magic.
11:30am.....Market internals.....With 3 case studies in the manuals, two of them for an entire week we start to bring together the natural rhythm, the indicator and the internals. 8 conditions and what they mean and when it's just BSski or noise. Could you trade with just fib levels and the internals? Could you trade with just the internals......WOW!!!! We'll see, but the manual is jammed full of examples.
12:00...High Noon LUNCH...... Lunch will be from McAllister's Deli again ....I personally don't like to go to workshop and seminars and the food is something you can't spell or pronounce. So we will have fruit, and all the fixins to make a great sandwich....some potato salad or cole slaw, a nice garden salad and mixed fruit and a dessert for those who didn't eat salad.....ROTFL.........if you have any special needs please let us know so my daughters will be able to have it for you........
1:00pm......Market Internals......after a nice lunch and before you fall totally asleep we will finish up with the market internals. I know before anyone says anything that this should bring out at least a hundred thousand questions.......so part of this segment will be how to go thru your charts at home and what you need to do so you can it from across the room and under your desk.
3:00pm......Pulling it all together and defining what we are going to trade....Now that we have the natural order of the market under our belts, and have talked a defined way to look at trend, the pullback, the setup, the trigger, and how to manage the trade we will put a trading plan in writing.....
4:00pm .....The final answer time.....This will be where you can answer questions about, options, bonds, rice, banana puddin or whatever and if I know the answer I will tell ya, if I don't I will tell you that also. But maybe someone else knows the answer and that would be just great if they shared their ideas......
5:00pm.....YOU ARE OUT OF HERE BABY.....This will be around the time we will end for the day and dinner is on your own, hopefully you have made friends with some other guys or couples and will go out to dinner and enjoy the evening busting on each other.....most likely it will be about the workshop so far, but that's OK TOO!!!
MONDAY OCT 1st
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN
865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......
9:00am to 9:30am Before I start trading for the day, three representatives from 3 local charities will be at the house, The ASPCA, The Boys and Girls Boys of Gatlinburg and the Good Shepard Clinic. I promised back aways to have a Trade-a-Long at the house once it was finished for my trading buddies, and I will fulfill that promise. As part of this workshop, there is no fee, no BSski to buy, no subscription to sign up for....nothing. But when you get something for nothing, what value does it have in the end......NONE. So, it will be between you and your soul as to what amount you give to these charities, it doesn't matter to me as I don't have to be there when you look into the mirror each morning.........now do I?
9:30am to 4:30pm TRADING BABY TRADING......I will be trading live, real money, most likely a 20 lot unless it turns into a trend day and then there are no limits. While in a trade, or when I see a setup coming, I will talk about it, talk thru it, not around it. There won't be any question or answer period until I say, "Anyone have a question NOW????? " People always want to come and sit next to me and watch me trade and this is your opportunity to do just that. But money is money and BSski is BSski and I take no prisoners....NONE.
4:30pm... one final question...... I think by the time we are done for the day everyone will be spent, but I will have a follow up on questions about whatever. Hopefully as the day unfolds and I am walking around talking to myself most of the questions will be answered.....but you will have 30 minutes to an hour and then it's over, pack up the balloons and head to the airport as I get ready for the next event on Thursday...as United Way fund raiser for 800.........it's Oktoberfest in TENNNESSEEEeeeeeeeeeee.........
ANY QUESTION PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP:dbolzes@chartertn.net
Also visit http://www.tradersparadise.blogspot.com for updates.
I have had several people say they can come, but then found out they couldn't while other said they would like to come but couldn't and now say they can.......SO, I can totally lost on the count.
Please, re-confirm that you are coming and we need you names, address and phone number OR you wouldn't get on the property. Again, most know about the trouble I have had in the past and we take security very personal here, so the bottom line is....IF YOU AIN"T ON THE LIST.....you ain't going to get past the gate house..........
See ya soon
Dennis......

3:30pm...Defining a trend using indicators..... this part of the workshop should be the most interesting as we start to build a trading plan. How many indicators do you need, which ones, what time frame is best and on and on. So, this week I will be snapping charts as the week unfolds and these charts will be used for the workshop, no using charts from 3 years ago that worked perfectly. But rather charts from the unknown at this point in time. It would be a good idea then, as the week unfolds to take notes about problems you are having so we can talk about them since we will be working off the same page.....that is the 9 minute, 3 minute and the 144 tick charts of the ER. But we will define a trend and then define a pullback in the direction of the trend and then even go so far as to define a COUNTER TREND SETUP and when it's safe to actually take that one......
I expect this to go into Sunday also.......since we will be ending up for the day around 5:00pm....
BREAKS: Anyone that knows me knows I could talk about trading long after the cows come home, so we will take breaks when I see that more then 4 people are either praying or taking a nap....about 10-15 minutes so we can all walk around and take a potty break.
6:00pm....DINNER.....I know a few of you would like to tour the house, hug a tree and we have a few inside the house, see my office and so on. So, I have arranged for a hillbilly band to come and play while we eat dinner at the house, open bar....of course. This will give everyone time to talk to the other attendees, network, share stories and whatever. Trading is sometimes a lonely business and this will give you the opportunity to meet others that share a common goal. But at 9:00pm YOU ARE OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!
SUNDAY Sept 30th
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN
865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......
9:30am......Defining a trend using indicators...not sure where we will leave off from yesterday but wherever it is this is where we will pickup on......this part of the workshop is to explore how to develop a trading plan, back test it, keep records or a log, and find out if it's just more noise or something of value. How many indicators do you need, which ones talk the talk and which ones don't walk the walk. By the time we are done with the second part of this you will be ready for the magic.
11:30am.....Market internals.....With 3 case studies in the manuals, two of them for an entire week we start to bring together the natural rhythm, the indicator and the internals. 8 conditions and what they mean and when it's just BSski or noise. Could you trade with just fib levels and the internals? Could you trade with just the internals......WOW!!!! We'll see, but the manual is jammed full of examples.
12:00...High Noon LUNCH...... Lunch will be from McAllister's Deli again ....I personally don't like to go to workshop and seminars and the food is something you can't spell or pronounce. So we will have fruit, and all the fixins to make a great sandwich....some potato salad or cole slaw, a nice garden salad and mixed fruit and a dessert for those who didn't eat salad.....ROTFL.........if you have any special needs please let us know so my daughters will be able to have it for you........
1:00pm......Market Internals......after a nice lunch and before you fall totally asleep we will finish up with the market internals. I know before anyone says anything that this should bring out at least a hundred thousand questions.......so part of this segment will be how to go thru your charts at home and what you need to do so you can it from across the room and under your desk.
3:00pm......Pulling it all together and defining what we are going to trade....Now that we have the natural order of the market under our belts, and have talked a defined way to look at trend, the pullback, the setup, the trigger, and how to manage the trade we will put a trading plan in writing.....
4:00pm .....The final answer time.....This will be where you can answer questions about, options, bonds, rice, banana puddin or whatever and if I know the answer I will tell ya, if I don't I will tell you that also. But maybe someone else knows the answer and that would be just great if they shared their ideas......
5:00pm.....YOU ARE OUT OF HERE BABY.....This will be around the time we will end for the day and dinner is on your own, hopefully you have made friends with some other guys or couples and will go out to dinner and enjoy the evening busting on each other.....most likely it will be about the workshop so far, but that's OK TOO!!!
MONDAY OCT 1st
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN
865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......
9:00am to 9:30am Before I start trading for the day, three representatives from 3 local charities will be at the house, The ASPCA, The Boys and Girls Boys of Gatlinburg and the Good Shepard Clinic. I promised back aways to have a Trade-a-Long at the house once it was finished for my trading buddies, and I will fulfill that promise. As part of this workshop, there is no fee, no BSski to buy, no subscription to sign up for....nothing. But when you get something for nothing, what value does it have in the end......NONE. So, it will be between you and your soul as to what amount you give to these charities, it doesn't matter to me as I don't have to be there when you look into the mirror each morning.........now do I?
9:30am to 4:30pm TRADING BABY TRADING......I will be trading live, real money, most likely a 20 lot unless it turns into a trend day and then there are no limits. While in a trade, or when I see a setup coming, I will talk about it, talk thru it, not around it. There won't be any question or answer period until I say, "Anyone have a question NOW????? " People always want to come and sit next to me and watch me trade and this is your opportunity to do just that. But money is money and BSski is BSski and I take no prisoners....NONE.
4:30pm... one final question...... I think by the time we are done for the day everyone will be spent, but I will have a follow up on questions about whatever. Hopefully as the day unfolds and I am walking around talking to myself most of the questions will be answered.....but you will have 30 minutes to an hour and then it's over, pack up the balloons and head to the airport as I get ready for the next event on Thursday...as United Way fund raiser for 800.........it's Oktoberfest in TENNNESSEEEeeeeeeeeeee.........
ANY QUESTION PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP:dbolzes@chartertn.net
Also visit http://www.tradersparadise.blogspot.com for updates.
I have had several people say they can come, but then found out they couldn't while other said they would like to come but couldn't and now say they can.......SO, I can totally lost on the count.
Please, re-confirm that you are coming and we need you names, address and phone number OR you wouldn't get on the property. Again, most know about the trouble I have had in the past and we take security very personal here, so the bottom line is....IF YOU AIN"T ON THE LIST.....you ain't going to get past the gate house..........
See ya soon

Happy Labor Day everyone......:)
Some of My Personal History......
My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned...couldn't concentrate.
Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.
After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it ...mainly because it was a so-so job.
Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was too exhausting.
Then I tried to be a chef -- figured it would add a little spice to my life, but I just didn't have the thyme.
I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.
My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.
I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patience.
Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I just didn't fit in.
I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income. My shortest job was trading in a CCI chat room but after a month they Wood not have me and my broker called me marginal.
I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.
So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.
After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.
My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.
JAB
GOT CORDS???????
As I work thru all the stuff that is needed for the eductional trading workshop coming up at the end of the month there are several things that you could bring along so we all can connect to the internet......if you wish that is.
I have both hard wire routers and wireless routers so if you want to hard wire your connection I think it would be a good idea to bring along a 50 or 100 foot ethernet cable. Of course, the wireless part is simple and the air card is really simple.
I have never had more then 8 computers running at one time so far and don't know how this is shake out during the live trading.....worse case is that you would have to shut down your laptop so I can have SCREAMMMMMMin data.......worst case.
The more everyone is using a different format to connect to the internet the better this should workout for all of us. NOW, if I was charging $495.00 for the workshop I would have no problem getting the internet straighten out in advance, OR better yet, I could just walk around the room like Woodie did at the Woodies CCI Club Trade-a-Long in Monterey Bay during 2004 and say, "This this helping everyone", as the hotel worked to get the connection up to speed......:)
At this workshop I plan to trade like a do when I am taking your money on a normal day and forgive me for saying this.....BUT, I come first!!!!!......ROTFL!!!! This workshop will either be one of those.......DAMN, I can't believe what I saw or DAMN, I can't believe what I saw, don't think there will be a any middle ground on this one folks.....

Workshop details........
WEll, I have a T-1 line here at the house for the educational trading workshop coming up at the end of the month.....we can also use the cable for internet connection but it would be great if you could bring your Air Card if you have one.....
I have never done this before here at the house, but I remember the Denver 2005 workshop....we have had more then 8 computers hooked up, at one time, without problems..... but when thousands and thousands of trading hook up....who knows.
On Monday the final details will be emailed to you, if you don't receive them please send an email.
This coming week, I will be marking up my ER charts, so if you have any questions during this week, print out the charts and bring them along and we will see what we can find.....or figure out.....or come up with. After 9/07/07 we will start printing the manuals, so I will need a final head count by the 8th.......
