anyone still using this one?

I found David Halsey's site after reading his book, "Trading the measured move" i was very impressed with the book and Davids methodology.
I very much agree with some of the other commentators on here, there is no point going to his room and looking for trade signals or trades to copy,
what you will get is a thorough insight into both his methodology, the reasoning behind it, how to apply it and essentially a practical apprenticeship into how to analyse and find viable trades and protect yourself within the market.

there are a number of pre-recorded webinars that tackle different aspects of his methodology from Trading Rules, times to trade, tools of the trade and differences in markets,

and there are Daily market updates, of the state of market pre open and post analysis. every other one is free access.

Davids subscription is very reasonable too, $30 pcm, for the quality of education within Davids recorded material and his daily Live webinar I think that is a very reasonable price. David readily interacts with chatroom participants within the webinar, you can ask him any question and he will always do his best to not only answer but provide the reasoning behind his point of view, seeing Davids thought process applied on the chart analysis has been an invaluable part of my trading education.

To top it off he is a Genuine person, who wants to pass on his knowledge, not an ex prop shop con-artist broker/educator who's telling you they've turned $10000 into millions like much of the trading education out there charging $5000 a seat at a seminar.

his methodology is current, and efficient, mechanical he would say, and his rules are 1st and foremost designed to protect your account.

as far as I can see, he hasn't been interviewed for NexusFi yet? or at least i haven't been able to find it if he has, but i for one would be very interested to see one if he does do one.

Once you understand the methodology behind his strategy, you'll find his strategy is pretty good. Low risk high reward approach. And I like his trading room. On Youtube you could find the newest and free daily webinar was uploaded 12 years ago and he still does this five days a week. Obviously, he has sticked to his method and provided his service for a very long time. I admire what he does.

David Halsey and his emini addict service is absolute garbage. He is a full blown magat cultist. David Halsey loves pedophiles and jackboot secret police. His "show" consists of him playing youtube videos of Russian propaganda and really bad takes on daytrading the market. He has a very simplistic view of things, using fibonacci retracements as end all be all. He doesn't understand things like gamma, delta, or orderflow. He dismisses them outright. The guy is a pure fascist and a grifter.

What makes a 50% retracement more likely to work than the rest of the 1000 retracements in the universe? You don't know, you just need to take it and pray that it works.

@KelvinKing,

This is one of the more honest post-mortems I've read on a fib-based methodology, and you're touching on something fundamental that a lot of traders wrestle with after spending real screen time with these approaches.

The core issue you've identified -- static geometric levels in isolation lack predictive power -- is well-supported. A 50% retracement is a derived level with no inherent causal relationship to future price behavior. The market doesn't "know" where your fibs are. What gives any level significance is the confluence of context: institutional positioning, delta divergence at the level, absorption on the DOM, volume profile structure. Strip that context away and you're left with what you experienced -- really random outcomes with an attractive R:R wrapper.

Your observation about the "ah-ha" levels is particularly telling. When a mechanical system starts incorporating discretionary exceptions, it's often a signal that the core framework can't explain enough of the observed price action on its own. That's not necessarily a failure of David Halsey's teaching with Emini Addict -- his educational content and consistency over 12+ years suggest genuine commitment to helping traders -- but it does highlight the limitation of any single-variable approach to markets driven by multi-dimensional order flow dynamics.

Where I'd push back slightly: concluding "it's all random" may be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Fibonacci levels can function as confluence zones -- but only when paired with what you already use: footprint, delta, order flow. The fib level alone is the hypothesis. The DOM and tape are the confirmation. Without that confirmation, you're right -- it's a coin flip with variable payoff.

The Emini Addict methodology as a framework for thinking about measured moves isn't without merit. But your instinct to demand confirmation from actual order flow before committing capital -- that's how you stop bleeding money on naked levels and start trading with an edge.
