I started with Dow Indicator April 1st, 2008 with $20k. I progressed to 2 contracts, and when my account hit $40k I went to 3 contracts. Now my account is at $48k plus. That's 143% I believe, in just 10 and 1/2 months. I have used the auto trade system (Mirus's Trade Assist) since the beginning. I had some trouble with the drawdowns at first, but studied the materials on the website and listened on the Wednesday twice a month conference calls. I must say Joel's encouragement has been wonderful, and of course, Michael's trades are what used to be in my dreams. Because of Dow Indicator my dreams are becoming reality. Thank you is not enough.

I just wanted to let you know that subscribing to Dow Indicator in the Spring of 2008 has genuinely changed my life. It is abundantly clear how much care you take before making a trade and this is extremely reassuring in these volatile times.
Despite considerable market falls and volatility my account has now more than doubled and I can't wait to see what 2009 will bring. Dow Indicator in conjunction with Mirus's Trade Assist program has given me results I thought I'd never see. I've found the team at Mirus futures great to work with too. I receive daily email statements when trades are open and a useful summary at the end of each month.

I'd just like to say that I am extremely happy with your results to date. I've checked out many many different services, but your service is the only truly professional one that I trust! The other systems are just a stab in the dark...you guys have substance.
If markets should calm and we get last previous years results - even better!!! But as it is, you guys are doing a fantastic job and I plan to be a very long term customer of yours! Just don't you dare discontinue the service, okay? :)
Many thanks!

I have been trading for about 2 years and have been struggling the whole time. I was down to my last 10K and decided I needed to find an auto trade system as I couldn't seem to control myself while trading. It was amazing to me that I could see what I was doing wrong, yet I was unable to do anything about it. I signed up and immediately started with the auto trade. I just happened to start right when the system hit 2 stops in a row back in April. (2008) Needless to say, my account took a hit right from the start and I figured it was just my luck as I have not had much success at all up to this point. I still knew that the odds were in my favor if I could just not let the psychological part get to me. It was all I could do to just let it ride and stick with the auto trade. Well, it paid off and my account has since recovered and my account is up almost 30% in two months even with the two stops being hit! Thank you guys for helping me to finally feel like I have a chance in this crazy futures market.

Hi Joel, It's Matt again. I just thought I'd drop a note to say that as much a nervous nellie as I've been the last 5 months (due to not having much "risk" capital) I've really enjoyed the bottom line with DI. And that bottom line so far is PROFIT. I went to 2 contracts for the first time on the trade we exited today, and I'm now up 102%. I hope we all continue to achieve success together. ( Update: As of 2/10/09, my account is now up 156%)

My name is Joel Friant. You may recognize me as the guy who helps run the Dow Indicator website. I thought it was important for me to share my story. After all, I wasn't always a consistently profitable trader, that's for sure. I've been trading futures for about 4 years as of this writing. I've spent over $75,000 on blown out accounts, software and fancy trading computers. I've spent over 3,200 hours in front of my computer screen. All in the never ending quest to become a consistently profitable trader. I am now consistently profitable, and spend about 1 hour a week in front of my computer screen trading the Dow Indicator Strategy. Here's the rest of my story...
Even though I had trained under a 16 yr. veteran trader for over a year and a half and done seemingly a lot of the psychological training it takes to be a consistently profitable trader, I still was funding accounts time and time again, only to see the money disappear within a month or so. I was seriously contemplating deciding that trading just wasn't for me.
It was at this time I found a service for $350 a month where a professional trader on the floor of the CBOT shared throughout the trading day over the phone whether I should be Long or Short the Dow. This sounded like what I was looking for, so I tried it even though they didn't give entry and exit points. I was now up to paying $350 for this new service, and $150 for my charting and quotes feed for a total of $500 a month. This wasn't even including the $3,000 that I paid initially for my indicator software that I applied to my overpriced charts. Guess what? As much as I tried, this $500 dollars a month still didn't help me be successful. Sure, I had days where I made money, but I always ended up giving back all of it and then some. Needless to maybe say, I was finally truly ready to throw in the towel. I was losing money, spending 6 hours a day in front of the computer, and I felt my wife was thinking I had maybe lost it. I was even starting to believe I might be too.
BUT THEN, I couldn't believe my good fortune when I found a software package that GUARANTEED my trading results. This had to be it! How could they stay in business if it didn't work. So, I spent a $1,000 dollars more and bought it. They even allowed me to trade along with them in a live room. How could I lose! I funded my account for what I said was absolutely the last time. Well, to make a long story short, the live room didn't help, (seems like I always missed the trades that made all the money) and I wasn't able to keep good enough records to satisfy the rules for the guarantee. On top of that, I was neglecting my day job even more at this point because I had convinced myself I wouldn't need it since I was going to make all this money with this latest system. I was scared now.
I couldn't keep this up. That was it! I cancelled all my services, stopped paying the $500 a month, and started to see who might be interested in buying my trading computer. Oh, that's another thing. I also paid $3,000 dollars for a super duper trading computer that could handle the 3 monitors it came with and that also had enough computing power to power the 16 charts that my indicator software and system rules told me I needed to use to be successful. Trading just wasn't for me...
This is the time that my friend stumbled across the Dow Indicator. As you can probably imagine, I wasn't ready to believe ANYTHING at this point. I didn't even look at it. After all, I was done. My charts were gone, my signal feed was gone. Trading was OVER for me. My friend put it in front of my face once again and finally, just to be able to tell him why it wouldn't work, I took a look... Darn, I had to admit to myself that it did look easier and less expensive. The track record was amazing too! I kept staring at it in almost disbelief. Was it real, the little voice inside of me said? Who is this guy that types these trade signals in here? Did he really type these in before the trades happened, or did he do it afterwards? Wow, was I ever skeptical at this point! I wasn't ready to believe anything or anyone! How sad. :(
Well, I signed up for the free trial since I didn't need a signal feed or any charting to find out if this thing was for real. I wasn't about to crank up the monthly fees again. Been there, done that. Hmmm… The first trade was a winner. How easy too. No expensive charting software, no indicator software package. I was even successful paper trading that first trade with only looking at my computer for about 15 minutes a day. Hmmm. I think I'll see what happens on the next trade I told myself. Hmmm. A loss, but I lost less than I had gained on the last trade, so I kept on going. The next trade was a huge winner! Wow, this was amazing. I realized that my account would have been up 15% in a couple weeks if I had been trading real money. I was having a hard time believing what was possible and in only 15 minutes a day! Gee, I could start concentrating on my day job again with something like this...
...I want to stop right here for a moment and thank everyone for reading this far. I wanted you to get inside my head and experience what transpired so you could understand how excited I was and continue to be everyday. Let me continue...
A few paper trades more and I funded my account for the last time and have never looked back. I told 3 friends about the Dow Indicator who were losing money trading and every one of them has now been growing their accounts month after month. When I switched to real money, I did have a harder time following the signals, but through my daily subconscious training and mental work which I now share with everyone on the site and through the bi-weekly calls, I was able to push aside the feelings of wanting to let my emotions get the best of me and go against the system. I did a couple times, and one time I even made more money, but it rewarded a bad habit, and the next time I went against the system I lost more than I ever had made by not following the system.
Well, to make a long story a little less long, I was so thrilled with the results I was getting that I flew down to meet the founder and master trader of the Dow Indicator in person. Immediately I was impressed with him in all respects. One thing I had learned through all my failures as a trader was that becoming a consistently profitable trader is the by-product of becoming the best person you can be in ALL areas of your life, and I could tell in 5 minutes that I had met an amazing, generous, and very honest person. I am very honored that he gave me an opportunity to be involved with him and help with the Dow Indicator. Through my involvement, it is my hope that along with his master trading skills and the psychological help from a trading perspective that I bring to the table, that together we can blow the numbers away that say that 90% or more of traders lose money.
Basically, what the Dow Indicator allows you to do is look over the shoulder every day of a 27+ year veteran trader and follow his every move. There is NOTHING that I know of in the world of trading today that gives so much for such an affordable price. If anyone ever finds anything that is as verifiably profitable, so easy to follow, takes so little time out of one's day, and costs so little per month including any charting costs that may be needed by the system you find, please share it with me.
I hope I can welcome you as our newest subscriber. I can't promise you that you will make money, but I can promise you that you will have one of, if not the BEST shot at joining the ranks of the consistently profitable. As a bonus no matter what, if you do the mental work I will be sharing with you as we go along and that you'll find on our conference call/psychology page, your life will improve in more ways that you can imagine.
