'I attended the Ensign Training Seminar in Salt Lake City about 3 weeks ago . . . met Howard and his brother John . . absolutely brilliant, professional people. The seminar covered most aspects of Ensign, but rather quickly . . users were encouraged to ask questions after the coverage of a specific topic. Overall worked well. On both days in the afternoon, an additional benefit was the presentation by Larry Pesavento (about 2 hours each day). See http://www.tradingtutor.com/index.html. Larry has been in the trading business for close to a half century, experienced every imaginable market event, traded stocks, bonds, commodities all over the world. He is an entertaining, engaging and very knowledgeable speaker and a very successful trader (different league than those in this Group). I encourage everyone to take the opportunity to listen to him at least once. Larry has traded together with and enjoys close relationships with Bryce Gilmour ( Gartley patterns) and Mark Douglas ("The Disciplined Trader") among others.
Contrary to my original assumptions, the Design Your Own™ (DYO) is a very very powerful tool . . . I encourage every Ensign user to investigate the power behind DYO . . . not merely as an indicator but as a programming tool. You will be amazed. The professionals know how to take advantage of powerful tools. As an example of the power of DYO, Howard took us through programming Larry's Opening Price Principle. See the book Opening Price Principle for details. A DYO is a very powerful tool, not merely a new indicator/study. The DYO is a different kind of programming tool, different than the Ensign Software Programming Language called ESPL. ESPL, based on and written in Pascal, is a programming language for Ensign Windows. Those comfortable with computer programming and like to write efficient code could use ESPL. DYO is a higher level tool that does what ESPL does (mostly). One does NOT have to be a "computer programmer" to build programs with DYO . . just a meticulous logical thinker !!! Don Hall, the author of Pyrapoint, was an attendee. Howard covered the details of how exactly Pyrapoint works . . . fascinating revelations. I, however, do not use Pyrapoint. Since Ensign/eSignal is my primary charting/programming tool of the markets, I decided to attend the Ensign seminar. Meeting all the people behind the scenes was invaluable. Overall, the 2 days and $300 I invested in the seminar was the best decision I made in a long time !!! There are many many ways to make money/living in the markets. Eventually you must develop your own methods and adapt these as the markets/technology change. Exploring the power of your tools is an investment and an absolute requirement. As another great trader, Tim Morge, says "Master Yourself, master your tools". If Howard runs another seminar, I encourage every Ensign Window user to attend.' -M. Appapillai 08-08-2005 'My age (77) dictates that I have likely attended more seminars of this type than most. I can sincerely say that this rates as the best in my experience. It was well organized, had excellent script back-up, and was quite professional in all respects. My sincerest congratulations for a job well done!' -Don Hall 07-23-2005 'I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Salt Lake Seminar. The quality of the seminar reflected the preparation and thoroughness of you and your staff. Although most of the attendees were seasoned traders, even a relative newcomer such as myself was able to benefit greatly from the information presented.' -A.
