Testimonials

“I your tools in my day trading routine and I have to admit that it really, really helps me to be a better and profitable trader.

So, thank you for all the hard work you’ve done, it is really appreciated.”
“May I say I am enjoying the trial. It is a well thought out software and the best I have seen for [Swing Patterns].”
“I could not pass up the opportunity to commend you on the presentation with NinjaTrader Ecosystem and [UppDnn]. Daniel, you have certainly added a dimension to ‘consummate professional.’ I have participated in several sessions of webinars with NinjaTrader and others. Your presentation was the most concise, easy to understand, follow and absorb than any I have seen from anyone. Never did you lean to any type of ‘selling mode’ but rather the most concise explanation of the math and mechanics. You were prepared and focused and made the most ardent use of time management I have seen to date in anyone that represents themselves as knowledgeable of the markets and/or business.

My acquisition of the [UppDnn]coupled with the NinjaTrader has daily expanded into a very strong and unemotional knowledgebase for execution. I wish to express my gratitude for the opportunity to be a participant of your amazing technology application. I am learning constantly and still have much more to accomplish. Simply……Thank you for showing your excellence.”

Lauren S.
Customer
“I greatly appreciate all of the hard work that you both have done over the years to be able to produce such an amazing platform! I cannot describe how easy you guys have just made my trading life become. I really feel like I was just walking around blind for all these years and now you guys have given me the gift of vision. I truly look at the markets in a completely different way.”

“I have been trading for the last 10 years, with varied results, and I have never had such a relaxing day trading as I have today.”

Dave M.
Customer
“Loving it!! I don’t know how people can trade without this software. Thank you so much for creating it. You made my day!!!”

Patty E.
Customer
“Thank you for your extensive reply. … I was touched with the effort you took to answer my email. Hence this reply to you.”

Avi M.
Customer
“As a result of [your explanation] I took a long position that netted me 100 points that I would not have previously taken without this understanding. Your software is helping me to make money every day. I have never seen such a great piece of trading software before.”

“Mate your software is absolutely astonishing. I know I’ve said it before but it’s truly a work of art… It’s mind boggling how I can draw a pattern and price will get within a couple of ticks of the dotted line in the PRZ… I am literally making money with your software every day. I don’t know how I ever traded without it.”

Geoffrey W.
Customer
“I’ve been with you since 2012 and have appreciated everything you have done along the way – I use your tools on both NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8 every day and consider you as one of the best programmers out there. Thanks for everything you have done !!”

Eric M.
Customer
“I think I may have “greatly” underestimated the power of the Symmetry tool. Your ease of use of that tool is amazing.”

David C.
Customer
“Thanks mate. Amazing tool. Glad I found it.”

Basilius L.
Customer
“Your updated Market Profile is absolutely fabulous! It installed without a hitch and I’m already making money with it. ” “I’ve come to expect that all of your stuff is simply top notch. From your website to your workbooks to your new video, even a dummy like me can understand it (mostly). While I still have a tremendous amount to learn, I’m on my way to becoming a better trader. I credit you for a good deal of my success. Thank you, Sir. I appreciate you looking out for me. Market Profile is turning out to be a nice feather in my cap. ”

“You already know I’m a big fan. I can’t help but to repeat myself – I am thoroughly enjoying your work dealing with market profile. Until now, MP has always been vexing to me. I’ve witnessed numerous “interpretations” as to how to use MP. All of which either left me scratching my head or didn’t lead to consistent results. Your indicator and instructional video has taken what used to be a mystery and turned it into an asset. The double distribution piece is especially valuable. Thank you. ”

Darrell D.
Customer
“I have seen (and coded) A LOT of stuff. By far, [UppDnn] is the best I have seen. Whoever does your marketing and web site design is VERY professional. I have looked at all the other NinjaTrader partners who sell Fib/Pattern stuff. In my opinion, yours is the best in both presentation and product. Good job!”

Paul S.
Customer
“The [UppDnn] Pro Suite has been an eye-opener for me and a guide in my trading plans. Sincerely, it will be hard trading a day without it.”

Adegeji A.
Customer
“I enjoy your software every single day I work with it. It’s my favorite and ever since I bought it, I have had no need to buy any other!”
