Trading In The Buff Review

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.

He teaches how price action can be used to identify the trends and countertrends of the market, how to be able to spot true support and resistance areas, where to identify the safest places to enter or exit a trade, and how to be able to predict future price movements. What I really enjoyed about the course is that this was all original material, which is a lot more than you can say about other trading courses that are available to the public. Most of them seem to just rehash the same information over and over again.

Thankfully this is not the case with the Trading In The Buff Course. Quite frankly, everything that I was taught was completely new to me. You can really tell that John Templeton really took the time to create something all of his own, instead of just stealing some generic trading system. He really took his time to provide an in-depth analysis of price action, as he goes through the course with incredible detail. He wants to make sure that his customers really understand every point that he is trying to teach.

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.

However, you don't have to worry about that with Trading In The Buff. The course does an excellent job explaining the fundamental reasons why these price action patterns work, and most importantly why they work. It's explained in such a way that anybody can follow along. It doesn't matter if you are a newbie or a veteran trader.

It's also quite simple. Many forex trading methods fall into the categories of really complex, such as trading with Elliot Waves, or so simple that they just don't have any depth, such as trading stochastic crosses. Trading In The Buff is a perfect mixture of that. Once you get the hang if it, its really simple to trade, but there is a lot of depth. In fact, I think you'll pick up something new almost every trading day.

Another trait that I enjoyed about the course is the excellent support I received. When I was first going over the course, there a concept in the course that I couldn't quite grasp. So I emailed support about it. I was expecting the usual 2-3 business days that you get from most companies. But amazingly, i got a response within hours, and eve more amazingly, I got a response from the actual creator of the course, John Templeton.

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.
