Almost EVERY trader who has come in contact with Rick Ratchford has come to the same conclusion. Rick Ratchford is simply a double talking salesman with a NET LOSS track record in real money trading. His main selling tool is a misleading and useless accuracy rate claimed for his "cycle" turn dates. This is achieved by covering most market days with a forecasted "turn" of no known direction or magnitude.
There are a multitude of real traders to learn from. Save time and steer clear of this salesman.
