Marshall Jones was an amazing trader
but more importantly an amazing man. He taught me a great deal in the short time
that I knew him but even now I hear his voice saying "wait for the turn"; "what
does the market like to do"; "never be long at 2:00", etc. And I especially
enjoyed it when "John Wayne" stopped in for a brief comment. I admired Marsh's
courage; his love of trading; his love of family and friends. Thank you
Marsh---it was an honor to know you.

My journey in the world of trading began
with Mr. Marshall J Jones, as a result of what he has taught me I left my job
and now am a full time trader! I am eternally grateful to Marsh for the new
freedom in my life that he and lav helped create. At 27 its a freedom that few
people get to enjoy and I have been fortunate enough to have a great mentor like
Marsh guide me towards it. My goal now is to take atleast one trade in every
country in the world. Marsh Jones made that dream happen...I am eternally
thankful.

Marsh was a very interesting and generous
man, he had a long and full life, and made an enormous number of friends. I feel
fortunate and honored to be included in that group, and I will always remember
and miss him.

having heated discussions with him regarding all-in-all out vs. structured trade
management..I think Marsh enjoyed a spirited debate..his love of family and
friends was commendable..A true 1st class person..in all aspects...I considered

Marsh taught me so much and although I never
met him personally I had close affinity to him, a connection, that made our
friendship special. RIP my friend MattJ

I stumbled across Marsh's manual and began
reading one day. That was the beginning of several years of knowing and spending
time with Marsh. I appreciate all his instruction, concern, and friendship over
the years. It pleases me very much to know that I was able to give back to him
in part by designing the original DTcharts package around his method. I enjoyed
tweaking it for him as he had new ideas. I used to affectionately call him
"Master Marsh" as his trading abilities never ceased to amaze me. Thanks for
everything Marsh. You are missed very much.

Marsh,
It's
so good to hear from you! Hopefully the lab results will be of no
consequence, and you can go on and get well! And come back to
HotComm.
I
also want to thank you for everything you've taught me in your
Simple 1-2-3 class. Incredibly, to me, it is all starting to gel,
and come together for me. It's such an awesome feeling to hear your
words in my head as I stare at the charts and SEE what you've been
telling us for the last two months.
It's
kind of like looking at those pictures they came out with a couple
years ago that look like an abstract painting, that has lots of
squiggly lines on it. Then when you move it closer to your eyes and
the squiggly lines start to form a picture of a dog, or flower or
something. Do you remember those pictures, Marsh? A picture within
a picture? Anyway, that's how these Charts are starting to look to
me now. They're not just lines and candles. They're set-ups
forming into pictures of trades to take. Can you believe that!?!
So I
just want to thank you again for your diligence and patience in
teaching, and caring enough to do it over and over and over!
Hope
your recovery is speedy.
Take
care of your self, and follow the doctor's orders.

To Whom It May Concern:
Hello,
I believe that Marsh Jones is one of the best trading
instructors out there. He is very patient with his students and
keeps repeating so that everyone "gets it". His workshops are
valuable to repeat because I always learn something new that I
might have missed before.
By subscribing for 12 months I can
participate in every workshop and get the repetition and
practice. Repetition and practice makes perfect. Seeing Marsh
point-out and review trade set-ups over and over each month
really helps me to learn. Being in monthly workshops helps my
discipline and focus, and they are constant reminders of what I
should be checking and looking at before entering a trade....
I
think I have gotten the most for my money from Marsh Jones than
I have from any other course. I highly recommend his workshops
and advise you to take advantage of his 12-month subscription
offer.
Sincerely,
Weldon
Marsh...I have been in your room for more
than a month now and I must tell you how valuable your service has been
for me. I have bought many systems over the years and have made no
money. I gained a lot of information (perhaps too much) from the courses
but you have really helped me to put it all together and devise a system
that I know will work for me. I was frustrated and ready to quit day
trading and get a job. I bless baldy for telling me about you and bless
you for your generosity. With heartfelt thanks
Connie
Marsh: Just wanted to drop you a
note about the lessons so far. In one sense, I feel like I have made
some progress during the lessons. But on the other hand I feel like I am
more confused on certain things. For example, with the time zones. I
have read that article 5 or 6 times now and I think I understand it. But
you said that article was written more for stocks, and the es differs
slightly. For example
today, you mentioned a reversal that frequently occurs at 11:00am, but
that is nowhere in the article. I realize you have picked up many things
yourself over the years from studying and playing the markets, and that
is really what I am interested in. If you feel the es has different
reversal time zones based on your experience, then I would rather learn
those than I had learn the ones in the article.
Again, I realize these times are not
rigid and can fluctuate or not happen at all, but if you were writing an
article on time zones in the es what would you write? That is what I
want to learn. I like the way you teach. By that I mean you are always
offering commentary on what you are thinking as you see the markets
unfold. At first it was hard for me because you are mentioning a lot of
things and I am trying to pay attention to you, look at the charts,
remember when to write the Dow and $COMPX #'s in my trade log,etc.
Yesterday I found it hard to keep up
with everything, but today was better and I am sure every day will get
even easier as I adjust to the pace and learn to handle more things at
once. I don't want you to take this as I think you are covering too much
too fast. That is not the case at all. It is more a case of me just
adjusting to be able to handle and process a lot of tasks at once. In
fact, the more information on things you can give me the better. I am
constantly taking notes on what you are saying.
Sometimes it is the little things
that you have learned through experience and share with me that help me
out. Please give me all of the information you can. If you have some
specific strategies you use , then please share those with me also. I
realize that trading is not a very structured thing and a lot is
subjective. But I am a very orderly person and feel I will be more
successful if I have a structured trading plan( as much as possible) and
follow specific trading strategies. For example, the snake method is
very structured, You take a trade if a happens, then b confirms, etc.
That is the way I learn best.
If we take things in steps...for
example: on the 5 min chart we are looking for ...... to occur. Once
that occurs, then we are going to look at $COMPX for confirmation. Once
in the trade we are watching a, b, and c if ..... happens we get out.
Sort of work out scenarios on things we are looking for. If any of those
things occur, then we do this. We enter the trade only after ...........
has happened. I hope you understand what I am trying to communicate.
Overall I am very pleased with the
lessons. I think you are a great teacher. My problem is I want to learn
everything in one day, and that is not going to happen. I can promise
you that I am 100% committed to this. Like I mentioned today I am going
to do my part with the studying, keeping trade log, etc. I just hope you
will continue to be patient with me as I learn. Even though I have read
many courses on commodity trading, this method in many ways is different
from what I have previously learned. Most everything I previously read
was geared towards long term trading.
This is my first experience with day
trading. The method is simple, but does take time to get a "feel " for
what is going on. As each lesson passes, I think I am getting a better
feel, but I obviously still have a long way to go.
Take care,
JK
Hi Marshall,
I have read your manual and have been in the chat room with you and your
method has really helped me see the market in a much better way.
Trading only when there is momentum in all three markets.... the ES, the
DOW and the Nas at the same time is what I have learned from you
Marshall.
Also trading at certain times of the day is very important...that I have
learned from you too....thanks. You have so many insights about the
market when you are in the chat room (I wish you could be there more
during the day) but I know you have a life too...lol.
You have a very calming way of looking at the market that helps me relax
more while trading. I also think you are wise when you tell people to
find there own style of trading for them...what works for one person may
not work for someone else. I would recommend your manual and your
teaching in the chat room to anyone who really wants to get a handle on
how to trade the ES futures contract. I still have a long way to go to
become as consistent as you Marsh.... but with practice and patience I
know I will get there.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.... I am incorporating your
insights into my trading. I agree with you when you say keep it simple!!
Sincerely,
M.F.
Marsh the method you teach makes
more since than any system I have ever tried, and I have made more
profitable trades doing things your way than any thing I have done.
Thanks for all your help

Hi Marsh,
I thought class went well today but did realize once again the
importance of not getting distracted. Once I realized I didn't want to
take the am trade short off the open I allowed myself to get briefly
distracted and not realize a good opportunity of jumping into the long
side of it. However, it felt good that I had mentally targeted the same
entry price as you did for the long and feel like I am getting more
accurate with the entry's.
My three favorite types of trades so far is the (1) opening trade, the
"magic numbers and safe time zone" trade and the 10min chart with a 10
period MA. These three trading methods I am feeling stronger with each
day. I am getting more and more excited about the 10 and 10 trade and
have back tested it over several months. As I continue to back test it
and begin to trade it live this week I will put together my observations
on it and any new trading strategies I can add. So far it seems to prove
best over the long run to target 6pts with a 2pt stop. Once you have a
2pt gain place the stop to breakeven or +. 25 to pay for the trade. I
believe I have a good way of trading it when the trend looks to reverse
but I do want to continue to back test it and actually take the trades
to see how they materialize.
Hopefully we will get a better opportunity to play the 10am reversal
which is one trade we haven't had much play with and I am not as
comfortable with.
Thanks for all your help and observations throughout the trading
morning.
