During the UPW seminar, I decided to register for Tony's Mastery University program which includes the "Wealth Mastery", "Life Mastery," and "Date With Destiny" seminars.

        Soon after, I attended a four day "Wealth Mastery" seminar in 1998 in London. For a novice like me, who didn't even know what "bullish", "Bearish", "short", or "long" meant, the seminar sounded quite interesting. The chart patterns seemed intriguing, mysterious, but also exciting... This gave me the conviction that there must be a way to discover the hidden secrets behind those patterns.

        Then, I started to read several dozen books and attended further seminars, without any major breakthrough. With the time, frustration became slowly overwhelming  because no light was seemingly visible at the end of the tunnel...

       Luckily, it was in year 1999 that I listened to Tony's Power Talk audio tape with Robert Prechter. The conversation sounded very interesting and I ordered immediately the Prechter's book, called "Elliott Wave Principle". It was exactly the type of books I was desperately looking for. I read, or more precisely, studied it in three days without interruption. It was the first time that I could finally make sense of financial charts... Although the book explained in detail the chart pattern recognition, it didn't say much about order management, trading or investing.

        As a shy guy then, the moment of epiphany happened when I was on holiday in a Club Med resort in Spain in 2001. For the first time, I decided to write a book on investing and trading. This was a courageous decision. Though, my goal was then, to leave rather a legacy in the form of an academic book, with a lot of theory, but without specific and applicable strategies, like so many "useless” books, you may find around nowadays...

        It is after retiring in 2014 that I finally decided to write the Expert Trading Secrets book. It took me some 18 months to finish it.


       For the first time, the strategy predicted the financial crisis of 2008 with high level of accuracy, just six weeks before Dow Jones reached a historical top on October 11, 2007. As we all know, it subsequently fell from 14,198 points down to 6,470, or some 54% loss, in a matter of some 18 months until March 6, 2009.

      Now that the Dow Jones' predicted historical top has seemingly occurred on January 5, 2022 with 36,952 points, Dow Jones is predicted to fall to around 5,837 points, 55, 89, or 34 months after the historical peak...

       Note that the bull market since 2009 is mainly the result of numerous so-called Quantitative Easing (QE) programs decided by various world central bankers. However, these measures create increasingly more disconnect between the real economy and the financial markets. As a consequence, the government's debt and the central banker’s balance sheets have meanwhile become huge bubbles, ready to pop up soon. As many say, "Trees don't grow to the sky!"

       The burden of government's debt was sustainable for a long period until 2022 because the central banks had artificially engineered an environment of close-to-zero inflation and interest rate. But things have changed drastically since 2022, due to higher rates of inflation and interests.

       After the predicted historical crash, with lesser severity though this time than the one of Great Depression of 1929, during which Dow Jones lost 89.5% from its top in some 34 months, a century long period of growth and prosperity will kick in.

       This book is the fruit of over 20 years of research and development by the author.
