RE: Trader ver. of Socrates - 2

it looks like the SOC service migrates to the new website. It's good to see some progress now.

Yes, it looks like there are three levels of service:
Basic Membership I think $15?
Plus membership $55/month
Pro Membership $150/month

Main difference is access to blog posts (some vs. all )
An the different views, monthly weekly , daily

Seems pricey, but if it is all that is promised it may pay for itself quickly.

It is incredible to think that the first time Marty spoke about releasing a Pro versión of Sócrates was in march of 2016 (the first idea was to release it at the end of first quarter of 2016)...and now here we are in 2019. He may be good at trading, but not so good about Schedule.
I hope now is the right time for the release.

All the best for all!

I can remember when the price for SOC Pro was supposed to be 750 $ per year, without restictions.
Now it's 1800 $ + 25 $ for every market and there are many restrictions.
I hope and expect it's still worth it though

Yes, I remember that as well. And as a CDN I factor in the exchange rate. I posted this over at Bitcoin:

So, the arrays and reversals are only available on the pro level subscription at $150/ month. You do receive 1 covered market however. Additional markets for the arrays and reversals will cost $25/ month for each market. So, for example, if you select the DOW as your included market you would need to add $25 a month for Gold, anther $25 a month for silver, Nasdaq etc...adds up quickly.

Lets say you had 3 markets ( 1 included and 2 additional) That's $200usd a month or $2400usd a year.

USD Account size examples:
On a $10,000 account that is 24%
On a $50,000 account size thats 4.8%
On a $100,000 trading account that's 2.4%
On a $500,000 trading account that's 0.48%

CAD Account size examples:
$2400 USD = $3200 CAD

On a $10,000 CAD account that is 32%
On a $50,000 CAD account size thats 6.4%
On a $100,000 Cad trading account that's 3.2%
On a $500,000 CAD trading account that's 0.64%

I'm pretty sure the reversals are bugged right now. Some reversals are not showing up on the chart or the reversals section, but they do show up in the "important gaps" section.

For example the the 21,600 Monthly bearish reversal in the DOW is not showing up properly here:


I sent a bug report to their support email, hopefully it's not a troublesome fix.

Horray! [cool] Socrates Pro is released!!

good point. I think this could be what the big, red banner says on the top of the website "...discrepancies..." . On the monthly dashboard view there are more monthly reversals, also the one that you are missing on the chart.
I also noticed a few bugs here and there. I guess they need some more time to fix them since it's a big thing to move to this completely re-designed webpage.

About the screenshot you've send. I've some concern posting such info here in a public forum like this. I fear the forum may get shut down if this is seen more often here.
I would suggest to have a separate sub-forum that is password protected (or similar) and where only verified SOC Pro subscribers have access and can post such screenshots and discuss very specific numbers. This is not my preferred solution since I would also like to discuss thinks in public, but what else can we do? I can't imaging that Armstrong or his support folks would not look into this forum and would tolerate such postings. I mean publishing reversals, even if some are missing in this case.

---

In my opinion anyone who is actually smart enough to understand Socrates is probably just going to pay for it instead of skim off whatever is posted on public forums. If I was Armstrong I wouldn't sweat the small stuff. I think he only really cares when people try to charge people money for secondary analysis of his work, I know someone tried to do that last year and he was posting about it on his public blog. I think it is sad it even had to be said... I think it was some young guy with a big ego who thought he had some unique understanding of Armstrong's work.

New information from Socrates under the DOW daily array, for some reason this new information is not reflected in the actual daily array yet:

Daily Forecast Array Articulation
The strongest target in the Daily array is Tue. 29th for a turning point ahead, at least on a closing basis.

We have Daily Directional Change targets due the days of Tue. 29th Thu. 31st. We also see a convergence in the Array with both the Directional Change and Panic Cycle lining up for the same target of Thu. 31st. This amplifies the importance of this target as an event on the horizon.

I went long volatility as of this morning's small rally in the indexs, I decided I'd rather be early than late on this one. I also have a half-size position straddle on Gold for Feb 8th expiry (GDX 21.5). Even though I mostly expect gold to go down as well, I'd rather play it safe with a straddle as I'm not entirely sure how Gold is going to behave here.

IMO Straddles can be a great way to profit off the panic cycles.

It also looks like my message was received and the reversals seem to be working properly now:
