Frequently Asked Questions
There are many trading services on the Internet. Some provide you with a weekly newsletter
telling you what you should buy or sell and at what price, leaving you with having to make
no decision (and often no money) at all. Some just sell books, some just advice,
some...well...something else. So you are going to have questions that need answering. I
want you to be able to make an informed decision. So I put this FAQ page together in the
hopes of answering questions you may have.
If you don't find an answer to your question,
you can email us at rick@amazingaccuracy.com or call

A. DTDs and WTDs are the dates listed on our FDate Report for both the daily time frame (swing/pivot tops and bottoms on a daily price chart) and weekly time frame (swing/pivot tops and bottoms on a weekly price chart). All these 'turn dates' are collectively referred to as FDates (future turn dates). Sometimes the WTDs (weekly turn dates) may be referred to as WDates.
A. From the time FDates burst onto the trading scene back in 1997 as offered here by this membership, we've seen the FDates averaging an accuracy of 81%+ for a swing top or bottom to confirm within +/- 1 price bar. This percentage is for outright swing tops and bottoms (major/minor trend changes). If you include the PAUSE formations that also provide us with excellent trade setups and are also forecasted by FDates, this accuracy rate jumps well into the 90+ percentile The accuracy rate may fluctuate slightly from one market to the next and from one period in time to the next. These are averages as a whole (all the markets on the report).
A. When you join the FDates Market Timing Membership, you are gaining access to our weekly FDate Report published prior to each trading week. You can view/download this report from within the Membership forum. Within the Membership forum, you are provided with ALL your training materials in the form of message posts, PDF documents and VIDEOS. There is a section where you can read questions and answers previously posted, a section to watch VIDEOS, a section for new members to access the GUIDELINES (the main training document for using FDates) and other training materials. There is a section for members to communicate with one another via 'discussion' postings and to read periodic weekly postings about various markets by Rick Ratchford (Analyst/Discoverer of FDates). If you also have a copy of our Previsions Charting software (sold separately or provided free to Platinum Premium Members) you can download the weekly FDates 'file' that allows for FDates to appear right on your Prvisions Charting price charts. When you join, you will receive an Welcome email that will include your Username and Password to access your membership forum. Make sure to whitelist the @amazingaccuracy.com domain name in your email program so you can receive this Welcome letter.
A. A list of the markets currently covered can be found by clicking here.
A. You can always ask about the possibility of adding a different market on the report, but we do not provide FDates for different markets on request. Only those listed here are currently offered on the report. What some members have done is to purchase a license to the FDates software program(s) for personal use. This allows for calculating turn dates for ANY freely traded market you desire.
A. Our turn dates are calculated using historical price data on the futures markets found on our 'markets covered' list. For trading Forex, which is what I enjoy doing myself, you would use the dates listed for the currency futures. Since the currency futures are pegged to the USD, they can be used with the Forex pairs that are also pegged to the USD, such as USD/CAD and AUD/USD for example.
A. If providing past FDate Reports would help potential members to evaluate the membership, we would gladly post them on the forum for all to download and view. Unfortunately, the membership cannot be demonstrated or explained using past FDate Reports. So instead of providing past reports, we are doing something much, much better. We have the INTRODUCTORY Membership plan that is greatly discounted. In addition, if you are not happy with your INTRO Membership within the first 14 days, simply cancel and mention that you would like a full refund. Our membership has been successful since 1996 because what we do has proven effective year after year and we have many happy clients to show for it. We want to make you happy too!
A. The FDate Market Timing Membership is not a trade recommendation hotline service. We do not specify what trades you should take. Rather, you are provided with instructions on how to use FDate turn dates to locate trade setups in all the markets we provide on the report. What market and setup you decide to trade is up to you. You will have everything you need to determine for yourself which market provides the best trading opportunity with the least amount of risk.
A.Because we do not pick your trades for you there is nothing to track. You are provided with the future turn dates for all the markets listed on our weekly FDate Report and the training on how to use those turn dates to precision time your trades. What market you decide to trade and which setup you decide to enter the market with is up to you. We do not keep track of the trades each member decides to take. This is another reason why we have the no-risk INTRODUCTORY Membership plan. Better than an arbitrary track record, you can see for yourself what FDates can do for your market timing.
A. YES WE DO! We guarantee that if you do not feel that FDates are right for you within the first 14-days, simply contact us and ask for a complete refund. All we ask is that you take full advantage of our training materials and ask questions if you do not understand something. If still not satisfied, simply email billing@amazingaccuracy.com and request a full refund within the first 14-days. This guarantee is only valid with the INTRODUCTORY MEMBERSHIP plan.
A. Would knowing in advance when the Australian Dollar was likely to make a top or bottom be helpful? Would knowing in advance when the British Pound was likely to make a top or bottom be helpful? What about the Canadian Dollar, Euro or Japanese Yen? We provide FDates for these 5 major currencies on our weekly FDate Report. So if you know with a high degree of certainty that the Australian Dollar was going to put in a top on a particular day, that would apply also to the AUD/USD. Same with the British Pound or the Euro. For the Canadian Dollar and Japanese Yen, both that have the USD as the base (USD/CAD and USD/JPY), you simply invert. For example, a top in the Canadian Dollar futures is a bottom in the USD/CAD. A bottom in the Japanese Yen futures would be a top in the USD/JPY. Very simple, right?
A. At the top of this page you will see a link that says JOIN. That will take you to the Membership Plans we currently have available. Hope to see you aboard!
A. The membership expires when you receive your final report. The 4-week Membership, for example, would mean that your membership is good for 4 FDate Reports. Premium Memberships never expire unless you chose to cancel. The FDate Report is posted prior to the beginning of each trading week, usually on Friday or Saturday.
A. No. I only manage my own personal account.
A. Yes, but there are some strict restrictions. For one, we only make the opportunity available to Premium Members. GOLD Premium Members qualify to purchase the FDate Program (or suite of programs) after 18-months of membership. PLATINUM Premium Members qualify after 6 months. If you are a Premium Member and have been so for the qualifying time period and would like to purchase our forecasting software used to produce the weekly FDate Report, simply contact us and let us know which program or bundle package you are interested in. You will be required to fill out a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) form for one or more of the applications requested.
A. You will find a link for Software Registration-Key Request found on the navigation menus at the right side of some of the sites pages. Or you can simply click HERE to go directly to the Registration-Key Request form.
A. One of the greatest assets to being a FDate Market Timing member is that you are never far from getting help. Along with the membership forum where questions can be posted at any time, we also offer our members FREE LIVE CONSULTATION with Rick. As a member, you would simply click on the LIVE CONSULTATION link within the forum to request the consultation. Members who have taken advantage of this extra benefit have stated that it has made all the difference in getting them to quickly become effective at market timing trades with FDates.
