Who it is for

The newbie 6 & 6 trader, warned repeatedly not to add Overlay ideas too quickly. The first edition went to fifty buyers, each of whom the author undertook to notify personally of any change.

What it assumes you know

The PTS and its money management first. The book is direct about it: the 6 & 6 is an extension of the PTS, and a shortcut past it is not recommended.

Where it sits in the ladder

A 1-2-3 one way, then a 1-2-3 the other: the Front Matrix and the Back Matrix. The second breaches the Jumbo’s ending point, then returns into range and closes there.

From the book

“Charlie said, “Six formations, six parameters, no propagation.””

“Prices cannot go straight up or straight down! Buyers need sellers and sellers need buyers.”

“Don’t anthropomorphize about the markets; they don’t give a damn whether you win or lose.”

The list

One letter, when there is something to say

Charlie wrote to his students. We do the same: a new plate, a chart worth looking at, a note when a book is finished. No schedule, no sequence, no selling to you every Tuesday. Leave when you like.

We keep the list ourselves. It is never sold, rented or shared.
