Just listen to what people are saying about Doug and Directional Trade Technical Analysis.

"My 401K had lost 48% the last year, so I was skeptical about doing anything trading related. But your intro was free so I figured what the heck. It all made sense, so I gave it a try. I was floored (and grateful) when the Coke analysis in the Directional Trade Alert made a 58% profit in my first trade. Man that felt good."
~ Mike Moss- Non Trader (former Non Trader, now I trade)


“..I have started calling him Stock-Stradamus!”
~ Andy Luther

“…Doug makes things so understandable when he explains them. I see things on a chart I just didn’t see before-like putting on a new pair of glasses. His passion for charting is contagious.”
~ Dorothy Wood swing trader and long –term investor

“I have attended trading seminars with Doug for approximately 3 years now. He has a natural passion for reading charts and teaching both. This combination makes him the absolute most effective Stock and Option trainer I have ever seen! I have seen him on a regular basis tell me what to expect to happen next based on his combination of technical analysis, and then it happens. And it’s not just blind instruction like other companies that tell you to follow arrows or install a piece of software. He takes a few key indicators that work together, and explains how and why they work together. He shows you how to identify the character of a specific Stock to become proficient in how to trade it – things that make so much sense but I never heard taught anywhere else.

In the past I attended one of those big educational investment companies which cost me tens of thousands of dollars and they always lacked something. They taught me to use the price, the MACD, and the Stochastic and to base my trades on these alone. I soon found this was inadequate, as I waited for an entry point on AAPL in late 2006. The big company teachings told me it was overbought and not to enter a trade and it stayed that way according to their teachings until December of 2007. That was a move from seventy dollars to two hundred dollars. Using Directional Trade Technical Analysis clearly called the move and said to enter that trade in January of 2007 at Eighty five dollars. Directional Trade Technical analysis captured the move when others missed it. “

“I was losing money in my 401K. Doug took the available selections in my companies plan and applied the Directional Trade Technical Analysis to them. He showed me the charts and explained them. After seeing them and him explaining what the technical indicators meant, I decided to move my selections into what the charts showed had the most potential for profit. In the following months, while the markets dropped and others in my company continued to lose money in their 401K’s, my 401K started to make money. I was floored and then started checking my company’s 401K selection choices each quarter against the charts to help me make the best selection.
Doug did a very different job analyzing my portfolio compared to others with whom I have worked. I like the extra effort he puts in ensuring that I fully understand the trends as well as the time he took teaching me about the investment process. He has been sure to make himself available for any questions or comments and informs me of the latest updates via calls and email. This is very impressive, as I believe the time and effort he expends will not be found elsewhere. His knowledge and eagerness to ensure a greater return on my investment goes above and beyond other firms and individuals I have researched!”
~ Donna D. Varvel, Tax Manager

“This is amazing. He has taken just a few technical indicators and analyzed them to the point that it is like clockwork how they relate to one another and respond to market conditions. It is amazing how accurate and common sense this is once it is pointed out. That is what I like about the Directional Trade Services. Doug spends the time to identify things that are usually not recognized, then after back testing them for accuracy, he shares them with you. He has a natural eye for the charts that allows him to find methods that are not available anywhere else as well as the time tested patterns and formations. I always heard people say to pick just a few Stocks and learn them, but until Directional Trades “Character Study of a Stock” process I never really saw the depths of advantage in doing it, or how much easier it makes trading and profiting.”
~ Peter Sullivan

“Talk about walking the talk! I know Directional Trade has my best interest and success in mind. This was the first time ever  that I went to a Stock course and they totally taught me about Stocks rather than spending the time I paid to learn trying to sell me on buying an Options course next. I got what I was promised. And then when they recommended a book that was in no way affiliated with them and they had nothing to gain, saying that this single book was by itself of more value than many courses offered by other companies they had seen on the market, I was in shock. Who says such a thing- Especially when it isn’t even their product? I have never seen such integrity and commitment from a company.”
~ David Seisma

“I love the approach at Directional Trade. They teach me what I need to know to successfully invest and manage my own retirement accounts both using the same set of skills They teach the principles then send me the newsletter saying here is an investment that fits the Directional trade set up for a move, here is the move and time frame expected. From learning the system, and getting the newsletter, I then decide whether to trade or not. It’s easy. I know the system and they send me the trades to evaluate using it without me having to put a lot of time into looking for trades.”
~ Erin Stallworth

“Doug has been able to predict the direction of the market consistently. Not only is he accurate on which way the market will head before the opening bell rings, he is able to utilize the intraday charts to predict a trend change during the trading day in order to maximize profits and avoid losses. This system offers great investment flexibility by being able to predict long term trends as well as short term trends. The best feature is the ability to make money in any kind of market conditions. If the Stock market is moving up you can make money, but also in a down market you can still make money. I would recommend this proven system to anyone”
~ Craig Mankey

"Thanks for keeping me out of XHB and CAT. CAT did just like you said and bounced off support. You have been quite a help in honing my trading skills. I just wanted to say thanks. I had a base of knowledge but you definitely took my trades to the next level by not just stating why, but by explaining the technical analysis in detail and how it all relates together. You have helped make my trading more business like and methodical.  I know we have traded together for a few years but the more technical analysis you have taught me the more profitable I have become. Thanks for the help and I look forward to many more profitable years. You have restored my faith in the ability to invest profitably"
