Thanks.

The FXStreet people asked me and I suppose if they ask me again I can do it again.

You must however understand that trading is a complex issue. Like most people eventually realize. Therefore lifting a "methodology" from its context is a problem. It would be like taking a tree that grows in a specific habitat and planting it over without considering the new habitat.

Bird Watching (BWILC) does a great job (and i say it myself but after having it in this market for almost 20 months I think I can say it) to prepare the ground for such a tree-transplant. You see, when I wrote BWILC I understood this problem very well. That's why it is structured like it is.

And that is why people in the know say, "please, read every page, don't just skip to the "methodology part". So online discussions, articles etc will not give the breadth and depth of what the methodology offers. Eventually you will have to prepare the ground to transplant the tree to your backyard to carry fruit for you. As long as it stands in someone else's backyard it doesn't help you one little bit.

I want to make another remark here about BWILC. In my mentoring programme I ask clients some questions about the basics in the book. Considering the median grid one of my clients gave an answer to a practical question (How will you adjust a median grid now?) that I responded to saying well, I would have done just the opposite. So he diplomatically refered me to BWILC to support his case. I then explained to him that the difference in approach has to do with the totally changed scenario based on my real-time analysis. When I wrote BWILC the dollar was in the process of a major slump while now (early 2006) it is at the end of a year long rally. I talk about real-time or relational analysis. There are relationships in the market that change the whole time. A methodology formulated at a specific moment in time to describe how you trade this is bound to be very contextual and thus theoretical and it can't just be applied without thinking and taking in consideration the bigger picture and changes relevant in the market place. (as you can probably see from this I believe any methodology that purports to have some value under all conditions is BS)

The one thing that BWILC will do for most is to change your perspective of this market for ever.

For many you will for the first time understand your own habitat and some of the issues that kept you losing.

Not everybody will be able to transplant that profit bearing tree to his own backyard, nuture it and actualy live of the proceeds without further help.

But what you will have, guaranteed, is a habitat in your backyard more conducive to profit bearing forex trading trees than you had before you read Bird Watching, irrespective if you follow-through on the methodolgies I use, a hybrid, or something completely different.

Doc, you should be in politics!

I really must get round to reading my copy, and I'll be sure to post a full, unbiased, and candid review in the books forum. I don't suppose the author will be available to answer pertinent questions in a clear and consise way?

Book reviews sometimes have selected excerpts, similar to books advertised on websites like Amazon, I take it you would have no objection?

Hello,

I just found this thread after Mick posted his reply and the thread was moved up. In the first page of this thread, William_A posted a free first part of this book link on dayforex.com. Unfortunately the link was obsolete (broken link). Does anyone know where to get first part of this book online?

Mick, I'll wait for your unbias review of this book ;-)

I have answered the question below in an answer to the post above. I am not sure what happened to it. Maybe I forgot to post it after previewing it?

So I'll try again: On this forum I have made more than 200 posts all reflecting some aspect of my views and certainly not isolated from the systematic description in BWILC, so why do you infer in the negative that I will not be available to give answers to questions? I suggest you post the review also in this thread where the value of the book is already discussed. I am a contributor to this thread.

As for selected excerpts, these are done in collaberation with the publisher / copyright holder and not unilaterally. The purpose is to promote sales by giving more information.

Part 1 (of 4) of BWILC is available for download upon registering on my .dayforex.com or .forex-trading-explained.com websites.

I have also made mention of the fact that I contacted MTec several times in order to try to arrange the placement of free value-adding ebooks like in the R.Booker fashion but wasn't honored with a response by Kyle. I thought maybe you could say something in his ear MickMason?

See above.

[William_A]

Patric,

I will check the link, and send you the correct link for your free copy

All the best

[MickMason]

Ok Doc, I'll take that as an invitation and read the book over the next few days. I won't post any extracts until I've run them by you first, your choice of promotional preview may be colored by having written and read the book many times, a different pair of eyes may be beneficial.

By the way, if you think I have any influence on what happens here you're mistaken, I'm a contributor like anyone else.

I'll be back when I've found my reading glasses!

Dont forget your Khaki's, binoculars, malaria mosquito repellant and band-aid (for in case a lion scratches your backside as you rush up a Witstinkhout after grabbing it by the tail!)

Your rural route to prosperity certainly sounds dangerous, that's why I prefer the major highways, guess I'll have to dust off the buffalo gun just in case.

William-A! Glad to see here on this thread again! Thanks for your kindness to check the link for me. If you cannot find a correct link and you have a copy, please feel free to forward to patrick_jobsearch@yahoo.com.


Thank you!

Hi Patric,

Thanks for the reply, nice to hear from you also again.

I have asked Dr Forex to reply to you directly with the correct link, because he has changed the original link I supplied to you a long time ago. He will be in touch with you. Let me know when you get your copy of BWILC, even better, let me know once you get your profits really coming in after studying the book in full detail ....

All the best of good forex trading

[MickMason]

Well I've finally managed to download the 54mb pdf!

If the first few pages are anything to go by it seems a bit of a waste of time reading, the author says ".....this book is in itself not enough to understand the formula. You will also need a mentor...."

My copy is up for grabs if anyone wants it, perhaps you have the patience and time to read the 238 pages and then find a mentor to complete the exercise, sorry, I don't!

Hello Mick,

I was waiting to hear your thoughts about BWILC from your fib trading background. Mick, you are a proven successful trader. Your constructive suggestions on the method used in BWILC are important to me, and I am certain to many others.

I am Extremely disappointed in the superficial way you approached your review of the book : complaining about the length of the book and then dissing the idea of a mentorship. AND THEN not even reading it ! You became a mentor yourself , maybe not by design but in reality , on this forum (I was one of the last posters when you decided to lock your thread). The author states up front the need for mentorship. He does not hide it at the end, like other ebooks.

May I suggest that you put the mentorship idea aside for now and actually give the book a good read. Your thoughts are of interest to many.

Sincerely,

Firefly
