Hello,
I tend to agree that MM could have been written more exceptionally better at explaining the concept. Nevertheless, The Market Matrix is truly top shelf grade product.
If one just goes past all presentation and understands the actual concept presented, its truly astonishing. However, one can't just read MM and use it without understanding where authors idea came from. Its a newer and a refinement, not stand alone concept as it tries to be.
In order to know algebra, one need to be proficient in arithmetic.
One needs to understand - Mr. Copan is a Delta Director and Kirby Cooper (who is mentioned in acknowledgement) is Mr. Wilders son in law, who is also a Delta Director. They trade, or used to, on behalf of Delta Society. They know their material very well.
You have to study Delta before MM, you will understand it more profoundly. Forget what people say it hard work, its very easy, just do it. Its very, very simple.
Steps are as follows:
1. Delta Phenomenon Book by Welles Wilder (please respect the author's work - start from Page 1 of the book and don't skip ahead), the book has Dow chart going back to 1800s.
2. Delta Phenonemon Study Guide - its very important piece, without it newcomer will be lost. Mr. Copan uses these color solutions in his work.
3. Delta VHS - Important summary by Welles Wilder himself, not mandatory, but you will understand how to solve for your own solution.
- now for more advanced concepts
4. Market Matrix CD Set by Steve Copan - authors delta i.e. matrix solution is IDENTICAL(more refined, +2 points) to the Delta book with added tools (Fibo & EW) for timing.
5. The Market Matrix Book by Steve Copan - Now at this point you have a foundation, forget what you know (don't let prior delta timing point influence you) Now start from page 1 and do everything by the book. You know how to drive a car, now you are in a race-car. Absolutely, most advanced, latest and most refined, universal market concept.
MM is just a further understanding of Delta. For anyone who has used Delta for Intra-day trading, will understand, finally somebody got it, its all same thing, that being Steve Copan and his work The Market Matrix.
I apologize in advance for making such a long read, that took alot of your time.
Thank you.
