User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Do not waste your money on it!
This 88 pages brochure, that includes 18 pages of advertises, does not worth anything. The author is definitely out of touch with the reality of trading. All the information in this book (and much more) one can find on internet free and in much detail from real traders. Do not waste your money on it! The book has a very impressive Contents sheet but that is all. If you want to return it, it will cost you more than the book it self.

5 Stars Chart Patterns are key to a profitable trading system
Ed Downs has found the “Holy Grail” to profitable trading! If you are not using chart patterns to make your trading decisions then you are put at a disadvantage to the traders that are using chart patterns. Chart patterns “show” the psychology of the market!

Ed Downs has recently just released a software module that has automated the process of finding the 7 patterns in his book . . . this again has given me an advantage by allowing me to do a quick scan over the world of stocks and future contracts looking for the best opportunities with the least amount of risk. You can see this new 7 pattern software module at Ed’s website at http://www.omnitrader.com/omnitrader/Addons/cprm.htm

The significance of this new Chart Pattern Recognition Module is enormous. No other trading software does a robust and complete job of pattern recognition. Not only have our researchers solved the pattern recognition problem, the new module is tremendously affordable when purchased with the upgrade. Supercharge your trading with OmniTrader and the power of Chart Pattern Recognition!

New Focus List

Perhaps the most powerful single feature of the Chart Pattern Recognition Module is the enhancement to the Focus List. At a glance, you can tell if a given OmniTrader signal is confirmed with a Chart Pattern-You get the best of both worlds-the ability to confirm signals with patterns AND the ability to find the most powerful patterns on their own.

When the ToDo List runs through your list of symbols and finds all chart patterns in the data, it also calculates relative performance of the patterns and converts this information into a strength rating from 1 (low) to 5 (high).

The Pattern Tutor

The educational benefit offered by the Pattern Tutor is enormous - you will quickly understand why (for example) consolidations and saucers are so powerful and predictive in certain market conditions. This will in turn help you confirm your trades more quickly and lead to higher profitability in your trading.

A FABULOUS learning tool. The Pattern Tutor lets you quickly review examples of any pattern in your data. Just click the arrows to see the next example of the pattern that was selected.

Thanks Ed for creating such a great product.

1 Star A Joke
I worked for the author. I think the most telling point is he does not trade. He sells software and writes books for you to trade but very rarely executes trades himself. That should tell you a LOT.

5 Stars Simple but Sublime
I agree whole-heartedly with the writer above who stated that this book is simple but gets right to the point. These are the basics, of course you want to build on it by reading other books, but you will rarely find this much helpful imforation in so few pages. (While curious about his software (Omni-trader) I don’t think I would leave Tradstation for anything else.)I’ve read hundreds of books on trading and sometimes I have to put everything aside and review the basics and this book is quick at hand. If you master his simple techniques and use good money management you will be a successful trader. I’m sure many traders want to feel what we do is far more sophisticated but it doesn’t have to be. That’s the point. Don’t stray far from the basics taught here.

1 Star DANGER: AVOID
… I wasn’t happy with the software design or signals, but when the data download software stopped working only months after I bought the product making it useless, they told me they didn’t know how to fix it? and I would have to “upgrade” for more money, eventually they kept all the product cost without resolving the problems and ignored all my correspondence. I am a Tradestation Easy Language expert, I have been trading and investing now for over ten years including consulting with online sites, and I know for myself how important it is from the very start to cut losses, but just as importantly to cut costs, because reality check, I never found any “system” in my own exhaustive testing that works consistently well. So if I could do it all over, as Trader Vic Sperandeo points out, capital preservation is bottomline crucial for success, I would buy absolutely nothing except a few good inexpensive books with all of the core technicals and fundamentals thoroughly covered. A somewhat useful free book is Charlie Wright’s “Trading as a Business” from Omega Research, customer support has always been acceptable to me, and my brother likes his Supercharts software, a relatively inexpensive way to test ideas and find out there is no “system.” This “Seven Chart Patterns..” book was mailed to us free of charge by the way and I think it is worth reading for free, probably by contacting Nirvana Systems, but I will personally never do business with them again. “Piranha” Systems demonstrated to me through their business character and my bad experience just how much they support, value, and respect me the customer.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Not over impressed
As a someone getting into soap making for the first time I guess I was looking for something more professional than this. Here is the book in pros and cons.

Pros:

Nice bit on re-batching cold process soaps, which can be essential when using delicate ingredients.

Some nice recipes to stimulate the first timer in soap making.

Good coverage on suggestions of where to sell and how to price your soap.

Good basic coverage on other ingredients such as essential and fragrance oils.

Cons:

A big chunk of the business section is purely American based so guidance on starting your own business in this craft is limited for non-Americans.

A lot of repetition of processes when making the recipes, which made me feel like the author was padding the book out, I would have preferred the instructions once and reference to the relevant parts in the recipes.

Inconsistency in the recipes and guidance, such as the curing time for cold process soaps. The author, at the start of the cold process section, states that CP soaps should cure for at least 3 weeks before re-batching and then goes on to say in the recipes to re-batch 1-2 weeks into the curing time so as to mix in the scent and other ingredients. Likewise, in many of the CP recipes the curing times under the Time heading don’t equate to the curing times in the Instructions.

There are quite a few mistakes in formulas given in the book, such as in sale price calculations and calculation of the amount of water needed to dissolve the sodium hydroxide (an important point, it is only with an example calculation are the instructions clear and the error resolved).

A lot of general writing errors which, for me, interrupt my reading and general pleasure of the book and don’t impart a feeling of professionalism.

Overall, if you are a newbie to soap making then I wouldn’t recommend this book. I also bought Anne Watson’s “Smart Soapmaking” which lays out the method of making cold process soap nice a clear and is a great introduction to this craft. I think the author needs to find a new proofreader, if the book was proofread at all, before she brings out the next edition.

I bought this book for two reasons, 1) to get some ideas for recipes beyond the basics, 2) to get some background in soap making as a business. In all honesty I can say, mistakes aside, it did accomplish the first point and sort of gave me something to think about on the second, but I did walk away from the book once it got into the “Mini-Course in Crafts-Business Basics” as it was not relative to the country I reside in or am from and I don’t like leaving a book unfinished.

5 Stars Excellent Resource For Those Looking To Make Soap & Sell It
I really find this book an excellent resource for soapmaking and small business. I have not tried any of the soap recipes in the book, but they seem straightforward. There seems to be more melt and pour and hand milled than cold process recipes, and there were no hot process recipes. All recipes that use butters describe using a double boiler to melt it but I have read in other sources that a microwave can be just as fine for this purpose, so I found that the recipes could be made even simpler by mentioning this.

This book covers all aspects of soapmaking beyond just the actual ingredients and putting them together. Packaging, labeling, and more are in here.

The business aspect of the book is what I find the most useful. It is concise and easy to understand for those who do not have a background in business. The book reviews taxes, record keeping, selling venues, wholesale, consumer safety law, and a great list of other resources for those who want to continue learning about small business for crafters.

This book is now 10 years old, so I would imagine some of the consumer safety regulation and law in the US has been changed so I would recommend that readers make sure you do go to other resources for this as well.

5 Stars Clean Read
This book covers everything you will ever need or want to know about soap making. It explains the three different methods of making soap and has some very good soap receipes. If you are serious about selling your soap, it covers all that too. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about making soap for fun or profit. I have three different books on soapmaking, and this is the one I always refer back to to refresh myself about my new hobby of making soap.

4 Stars Very informational book - Good for first-timers and the business minded
I have 48 post it notes marking key information throughout this book. I am extremely happy with my purchase. It it filled with a ton of advice from cold process to handmilled to melt and pour to opening your own business, pricing, marketing, selling - you can tell this writer is passionate about soap making.

Her advice is pratical - preparing a work station, creating scents, interesting molds, many handy hints, checklist for craft shows, tips for selling on the web, etc. etc. etc. Now, I know there are a few comments that the recipes aren’t that spectacular, but let’s be honest here….most of us want to create our own recipes anyway, right?!

I’m not into the cold process so I really can’t critique that portion of the book. Yes, about 1/3 of the book is a mini-course in crafts business basics, written by Barbara Brabec - a book within a book. For me this was extremely interesting and information I wouldn’t want to do without.

I sell and buy books on Amazon and although I like to sell my used book, this is not one I will be putting back up for sale. It is here in my kitchen to stay.

5 Stars Great book for newbies
I like this book because she gives a lot of other detailed info that some other books don’t like terminology and hints and tips that others don’t think about (like known allergens for example). This book definitely has the newbie in mind. It was very helpful to me and I WOULD recommend this.

It also has a great list of resources like where to find packaging or essential oils, and even fresh herbs. Pretty much everything you need to get started.

Probably not for the experienced soaper.
