"You have and continue to provide, in my opinion, some of the most insightful thinking I have encountered in learning to trade.  I particularly like the philosophy you have several times laid out, teaching people to trade for themselves, rather than giving them a recommendation for a stock pick." - Bill

"CJ - your example over the last 7 months has helped me evolve and improve. Learning to discipline myself to Defined Entry. Defined Stop. Defined Target. Execute.  Will tackle the small trades and execution and learn my way up. 1 at a time." - F M   

"First of all, thank you again for a life changing two days of mentoring. I say life changing because through my own experience, I have been a mentor or Sponsor to many men in Alcoholics Anonymous over the last 25 years. Your approach is professional and personal - a very nice touch. My experience in AA has helped me to become patient, open minded and honest with myself. I now know these acquired traits will help me be a better trader."  - Steve

"CJ, I can't thank you enough for the things you have taught me. The last few months it has really come together.  My fishing has improved so much I should never go hungry again." -  Doug

CJ -  Ok I just had to pass this on ... You have been a major influence for many traders on Tc for a very long time – including me. Your influence is visible in the code words spoken everyday in chat. Whack, Mongo, A-team, Doughnuts, Gridiculous, and my favorite “listen to the charts”.

You have been the best trader / mentor I’ve ever known.

Thank you for all you have done for me and all of us on TC Net.

I’m proud to know you – and to call you my friend. If there is anything I can ever do for you please do not hesitate to ask. – M.C.

Carl Thanks... I am sending this note to say I will put in plenty of practice before funding and using any new futures platform. Your advice is excellent and always appreciated!
I also continue to work on my decisions re: trading plan elements and the need to consistently pull profits out of these markets... I love the challenge and it is a big one. As always while preparing and practicing, your comments on hotcomm and TCNet are much appreciated. Thanks again. - Paul

Hi CJ,  I just want to let you know that I have learned a lot from you and I think it does not matter that your comments refer to DJ mostly, since that can be translated to anything else. I appreciate that you always stick to the technicals, and that you never get involved in political talk or other distracting talk. I put all those people who get into those rants, or have obvious issues with their own minds, on ignore. I hope that you don't get discouraged when someone gets on your case without any good reason and hold back on your technical comments. You are a very important part of this club and represent the actual spirit of focused technical trading which is what we are all trying to learn and implement.  I especially appreciate when you keep repeating that we should just follow what the charts tells us instead of making up all kinds of theories which might materialize or not.

Thanks, and I hope you will keep helping us. I am sure most of us really appreciate it. - Shama
