Trading In The Buff - Is It A Scam

By Mike Reed

There is a new course called Trading In The Buff. It was developed by a man named John Templeton. The concept behind the course is to the educate people on how to trade the forex market just by using price action concepts. This is done by getting rid of all the indicators that most people are used to using on their charts.

The course focuses on using price action to spot trends, counter trends, support & resistance, which can be used to predict solid entry positions and the ability to forecast future price movements. The course really focuses on original material, which is a bidg departure from most of the stuff that you get online. Unfortunately with much of the stuff being sold about forex trading, there does tend be some overlapping. As a matter of fact, sometimes it's just blatantly the same material over and over again.

Thank goodness, this is not the case for the Trading In The Buff Course. I can safely say that the material was both new and innovative. It was very obvious that the creator worked diligently on the course to make sure that his customers were getting something real original. The in-depth analysis also proves that Templeton wants to make sure that his customers understand all the nuances of the course.

The entire course is presented in an orderly, step by step manner. After all the chapters in the book are read, there is a corresponding video which you watch that delves deeper into the concepts of the respective chapter. It' also very unique in that you also get to learn about the fundamentals. I think the problem with some price action methods, its that many traders can't really explain to others why exactly it works. To give you an example, look at trading candlestick patterns. In this case, you are really just memorizing. You memorize patterns like dojis, but you don't really understand the underlying reason of why it works.

Trading In The Buff actually explains the underlying reasons why the material works. For example, it explains in pure simple terms why there is are certain areas where you will find key support and resistance, as well as how a trend, (and even more importantly a counter-trend) can be spotted.

Another thing I like about the course is how simple it is. I find that many forex trading methods are almost purposely complicated. For example, take a look at Eliot Waves. On the other hand, though there are many trading methods that are so simple, it's almost insulting, like moving average crossovers. Trading In The Buff fall somewhere right in the middle. It's simple, but it also provide a lot of depth, which is a lot more than I can say for most courses.

They also have excellent customer service. I had a problem grasping one of the concepts of the course and I emailed support about it, and as a surprise to me, I got a reply within the hour with a very well detailed answer to my question. What was even more impressive was that it came from John Templeton, himself. He actually answers his own emails. It's nice to see that, nowadays.

And lastly it just works. Let's face it. That's what it all comes down to, doesn't it? Being a person who has traded indicators for most of his life, I never really gave much thought to what can be found simply by looking at the price. Except for recognizing generic patterns like head and shoulder, double tops and double bottoms, etc.. But I was really stunned as to all the valuable information that was available to me just by looking at a simple bar chart. Now I can't even look at a chart and not notice it. My eyes automatically can scan the price movement and find great entries and exits.
