Woodies CCI Club is all about Traders helping Traders



Near the end of November, MarkB and Dharma was going to have a presentation on how use fibonacci levels, symmetry and the CCI to find trade setups. MarkB, is the fellow that worked with CB, for a quite a while and in November of last year I introduced him to folks at FibonacciTrader.com during the Las Vegas Traders Expo. When Mr. Krausz pasted away I was asked if I would do a workshop since there wasn't anyone, at the time, to continue his work, I agreed but only until they could find a permanent replacement. So MarkB, I thought, was a natural fit and after some back and forward MarkB stepped during the New York Traders Expo.

If you know MarkB, you know that there is NO AGENDA....he will work with you to the Nth degree, emails, charts, presentations, you name it...MarkB will also try his best and it is as simple as that. MarkB is a good friend with Dharma and they have worked together for a long time, so when FibonacciTrader.com workshop in Denver came up, Dharma as there to help out....again would help you to the Nth degree. Dharma is friends with DrBob and when DrBob was asked to get the heck out of (Woodies CCI Club) Dodge, Dharma and several others left as well, which came be what we know as TradersHaven on relay7 in hotcomm.com.

So now that we have the history, where am I going this time? Well towards the end of November 2005....MarkB and Dharma decided to do a presentation in the Denver Traders Group room on relay5 under the Woodies CCI Club umbrella of 13 rooms. They also invited DrBob to talk about his way of using the CCI, just "Traders helping Traders" and Ron Rossway sent out an email to this effect the day of the presentation. Woodies CCI Club immediately contacted the Denver Trading Group advising them that DrBob was banned from the Woodies CCI Club rooms because he was a trouble maker and a lot of complaints had been received. DrBob is a dentist "for goodness sakes" and how much trouble does a dentist make.....is my question? Traders in TradersHaven on relay7 do not even talk about the Woodies CCI Club must less blast it and bust on it....that kind of behavior is not put up with......BY ANYONE....people are there to learn how to trade, network and fellowship.

So the presentation was canceled and then moved to TradersHaven and everything went as well as it could since MarkB, Dharma and DrBob were a bit frazzled at the whole experience. As I pointed out in my blog on November 7th, 2005 that things were about to get ugly as the CCI Club itself will do everything it can to shut down the TradersHaven and TradingElements chat room along with anybody and everybody that is even thought of a being a "problem"...."either tow the line or cut them loose".

When DrBob started getting more attention then Woodie about how to trade the CCI is when this latest episode started. Woodie asked DrBob to stop talking about using the 50CCI and stick with "his" work, the regular 14/6. DrBob and his group of trading buddies actually went and paid for a private password protected chat room so just those traders would talk amoung themselves about trading. This way, Woodies wishes would be granted. It wasn't even 6 hours, until the question came......."DrBob what are you doing, setting up a room to compete against me?" and on and on it went. Then came the "You're out of here, MISTER!!!"

Woodie was so mad that he wouldn't even come to New Jersey for the trade-a-long that DrBob had setup for him like he had the year before....and DrBob was gone from the radar screen. That was when they decided to open the room to everyone and anyone. Wouldn't it just been easier for Woodie to ask DrBob if he setup another room, let's say.....the Woodies CCI Club DrBob Room that DrBob and his trading buddies could use and enjoy? Wouldn't that been the way to go if this was about Traders helping Traders and not about egos? Wouldn't that have helped to make Woodie look even bigger then life by showing everyone just how great and true to slogan.....Traders helping Traders instead of showing everyone how just how petty and childish he is?
Wouldn't it???????

I think he missed a golden opportunity to build on something special, but he has, it seems, never care about those things. Everyone is watching this unfolds and all eyes are "YOU" now.......how ugly will this get....stay tuned.
