Who it is for
The careful reader. The first eight chart studies are a foundation in first principles; the rest give a flavor of the more advanced concepts. The mentoring lessons are the complete course material, in writing.
What it assumes you know
The ability to read a price chart across instruments and time frames, and a platform such as MetaTrader or NinjaTrader with replay. The vocabulary itself is taught from scratch.
Where it sits in the ladder
- Read first: Charlie’s Secret Notebooks, Book 3
- Read next: The Goodman CODEX, Part Two
A plate from the book
The Quickie 3-C count
Copy the first swing, move its beginning point to that swing’s Tipping Point, and measure how far the correction fell short or ran past. That distance, laid up and down from the phantom ending point, is the Under and Over count.
From the book
“A Goodman Wave is a market 1-2-3 that propagates more than one time.”
“Goodman Wave Theory is based on the simple 1-2-3 action of the market.”
“A Line is simply a specific Swing segment of a 1-2-3.”
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.
