Hello,
I have decided to go commercial and now, with Steve's kind agreement, I am introducing a currently very much affordable service here. Those who know me also know that I am a die-hard CJ follower with tremendous number of hours invested in figuring out what makes price tick. For this I only followed CJ's and Sympathy's teachings (and of course never ignored SM).
After years of practice and thinking, a fourth teacher joined the pack, price itself. No less I want you to experience and for this I have taken on the teacher's role and let's keep it that way for some time, meaning I will assist you just like any other teacher of various subjects would do till you get to a level where price becomes your teacher and you become the master of it. No big talk, no big money, no unrealistic expectations, only diligence.
What I can offer is a bit more than the CJ/Sympathy approach. My own revelations have lead me to what I call Functional Trading. Basically figured out the meaning of those teachings, went few more steps beyond and then I realized that the whole thing should be re-framed, put into a different context. It might be the holy grail within your reach but one that you would still have to work hard to get and be able to use. God knows how much effort is needed from your side. All I know is that I had to crack it and it was painful. But I rarely received clear instructions...
You can read about the approach at functionaltrader.com and decide if it makes any sense to you or not. Contact information is indicated on the website.
Since I started my forex naked trading journey at SHF, I offer a 5% discount to all SHF members and I wish to donate 5% of the subscription fees to SHF for the continuous support of this community.
Successful trading to All,
Rewand

Re: Functional Trading - Taught by Rewand
This sounds like a wonderful initiative to me. I wish you and all those who will join you on the journey, all the best.
Thanks for offering our members a discount. Thanks for offering to divert a portion of the fees to SHF. Annual fees to the hosting company, Dreamhost, are $1,800 a year, so all help is gratefully received.
Folks, this is not the usual 'guru' stuff where someone has used the easily obtainable software to make their trading look impeccable and then fleece you for thousands of dollars to 'learn' how it is done. This is stuff from a valued member of our community.
Have fun and learn lots, folks.

Re: Functional Trading - Taught by Rewand
I joined free server and learned a lot for free. What was overwhelming about CJ stuff is now much clearer now. The program is just starting now so I guess rewand has time to spare for free Q&A. But won't last for long! I'm glad I took a leap.

Re: Functional Trading - Taught by Rewand
Go to functionaltrader.com, read and decide if it is a direction you would like to take. All information is available there for your next steps.
General comment:
I suggest to join only if you have the stamina, the persistence, the patience and the ability to read, pay attention, understand, dig, think, dissect things and train yourself to get to something that makes very little sense for a very long time, without tangible results. Ideally, you are a self starter who gets busy with putting things together piece by piece.

Dear SHF members,
Just want to let you know that I have decided to offer 10 pieces of "for life" subscriptions. Subscriptions of SHF members who recently joined the service have automatically been converted to this type of subscription. 7 such subscriptions are still available. By subscribing to the service, you will have CJ's teachings unlocked, all your questions clearly answered and we would all contribute to the maintenance of this community.
Thank you & good trading to All,
Andras

Re: Functional Trading - Taught by Rewand
Hi All,
Just a short note. I will phase out the "for life" package at the end of October and will apply a 50% increase on all current prices. Take the opp now while current prices are still available. I do not advertise the service as I do not care about earning money this way, in fact, I am making a "loss" on it. It is not for me but for you, for those who are willing to invest their time and effort into learning to trade like CJ or Sympathy.
I have slowed down regarding updating and editing the original CJ thread but I will get back to it once the winter days make me want to stay in-house. This is for those who do not want to or can not afford to spend money on getting on the fast track with the trading style. I will try to answer questions and address any of your issues within the thread.
Trade well,
Andras
