Stevenson's Price and Time Targets (PTT's) -> Testimonials

"I first met J.R. Stevenson in 1981…he was my boss at my first job out of college, with ContiCommodity. I was lucky to be in a situation where I spent the first couple of years on the job learning technical and cyclical analysis from a man who, I quickly realized, had a very unique insight into market behavior. Among the techniques he taught me then was one he called cyclic projection or vectors, the Price Time Targets that this book is based on. This is the single most effective trading and analysis tool I have ever encountered, and I have never looked at a price chart since without plotting out a few of these PTT's to see where that market should go. For various reasons, I drifted away from the futures markets for a number of years, but the PTT's worked equally well in helping me with my stock purchases and sales. Recently I resumed futures trading, and immediately saw that these PTT's are just as effective and accurate on 2, 5, or 15 minute bar charts as they are on daily or weekly charts. As a reader of this book, consider yourself very fortunate that J.R. decided to share this technique with you. So enjoy this book, take the time to learn the material here, practice and get comfortable with using PTT's, and you will learn to trust them. Good trading!"

"Buy this manual. It is a guide to the cyclical behavior of markets and is elegant in its simplicity and accuracy. It is a method of depicting the collective behavior of market participants in both time and price and provides an invaluable complement to your current trading methodology. It is not about the psychological and money management aspects of trading. Nor is it a self-contained method of trading, although some of its principles could form the basis of a trading system. It will sharpen your trading skills and add an element of joy to your day. Happy fishing."

"Thanks for your PTT manual and your assistance in applying the principles it teaches. I have been trading for more than six years and this is the most powerful tool I have ever used. I enter with my own system; however I use the PTT's as a guide to manage my trade. I am a strong believer in managing a trade in order to be a successful trader. This has increased my winnings substantially by reducing my losses and increasing my winnings. This is a must-have manual for all traders. I certainly would recommend it to anyone."

--John Boese

"This unique method of trading is simple and easy to use. Yet it gives me valuable insights into market cycles. I am amazed that I can draw lines to precise price and time targets (PTT's) and then sit back and watch it hit precisely on that target. The PTT's coupled with the entry methods described in the manual are the most effective trading method I've found!"

"Just wanted to say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I can't believe how simple it is! They can keep all the "fluff and stuff" market indicators. I like this simple method and will keep yours…"

--Jo Ann Kitagawa

"Please take your crystal ball home with you over the weekend so it will be safe. Boy, you have been calling these markets great! A special thank you for the individual help you continue to give me."

--Kathy Farrer

"Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you I, for some time now, have found your cyclic projections and analysis to be of tremendous value in my trading. I keep bar charts together with a momentum chart on seven commodities and T-Bonds. These combined with your cyclic letter are all of the inputs I want or need. Keep up the good work."

--Ed Detrixhe

"J.R., concerning your cyclic projections, I have followed Hal Cycles, MB&H, McMasters, Morgan Maxfield, James Sinclair, Bruce Gould, etc. etc. for a long time and I have found your work to be as good as any in the industry for my existing clients, as well as for soliciting new prospects…"

"Thanks to J.R. Stevenson for his fabulous comments on the grains. All our customers appreciate his comments and this is echoed from the entire 49th trading floor in Continental Grain. As far as we're concerned, J.R. is the BEST. So if that isn't a compliment, I don't know what is. If J.R. would like to start handling some business on grains only, I believe I could find him quite a few accounts which he could manage. Many thanks for a job well done."

--Miles (former broker at Continental Grain Company)

"I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you what a fabulous job J.R. Stevenson and Reid Hampton, the Commodity Division's Technical Analysts, are doing. In my opinion they are the best thing that has happened in the firm in the 11 years that I have been here."

--Former Prudential broker

"This work is concise, well-prepared, and very understandable. The discipline they carry into their trading keeps any losses small and allows profits to run. This probably is the most difficult thing to do in futures trading. Besides having a fine grasp of the daily fluctuations in the markets, their strongest point is the ability to do an excellent job of long-term forecasting…a rather difficult task."

--Joseph A. Fineman

"I still say, after using it for several months, your book is the most usefulI I've ever read in 38 years of trading" .
