Hi Team,

This thread is solemly dedicated to hear your ideas and thoughts about the first Forex manual for dummies based from SRDC I++.

This manual will be written in simple English and will be fun to read. It includes basic understanding of forex, including the history, trendlines, support, resistence, candles, how to choose a broker, money and risk management, trading psychology and of course, how to trade successfully and earn a decent living standard.

It will be aimed mostly for total newbie who are looking for extra income even at a part-time basis. Imagine this:

(1) A single mother of 3 in a small town in Africa took a small step by reading this manual and apply the simple system once a day. The profits she made each day not only help to pay all her bills and send her children to college. She also learn to enjoy her life more and become financially independent.

(2) Students who have not enough money to finish college. Instead of giving up, they can learn to trade and eventually finish college and have more options in their life.

All it takes is just 5pips a day. But of course they can do more and as most of you know, SRDC I++ is capable of reaping Pips even more than 50pips a day consistently.

As most of you know, an incident that almost end my life due to bad decisions in trading has let me to a journey to help others in the proper path to forex trading.

This is one of the best way to help others to help themselves. This book can reach more audience than Forums and Websites. Of course it will not be Free. Every success has a price and people genuinely looking for something wont mind paying it. Its an investment not an expense. In Fact I will be insulted when someone asked me just to give it away.

Now, let me hear your positive thoughts.

I can't think of anyone thats more qualified for this project than you. As far as being payed for the book, why not get paid? Will this book be an ebook or paper back?

Hello Master OR,

I put a SRDC search on FF and this popped up! What a pleasant surprise.
Orange, I believe that someone in the publishing business or training manual offered his help to you in one of the post in SRDC. Why dont you ask him/her what the book should sell for? Also I am touched by your vision for this book but how do you plan to put such a book on the hands of the poor and the disadvantaged if they can barely feed themselves let alone buy a book even if it cost $1.00 usd?

OR, as you know I have been committed to your method since its beginnings and once again, I would like to express my gratitude for the time you have spent helping us out. I strongly believe in creating situation where there is a mutually beneficial outcome and I really hope that you reap just as much out of this endeavor as we have so far and into the future. By the way are you planning in putting more sauce into SRDC 1 ++?

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and healthy 2007

I hear in many villages it takes a weeks pay to buy enough water for yourself with wells going dry. I don't think it's as straight forward as was put.

Only in forex could I still feel like a newbie after months of observation. I admire that you've taken the philosphy that everyone can benefit in some way from this. I always thought so, but lately, in stocks particularly, I see a lot of people who are only in it for themselves. I thought the market was completely dependant on everyone doing something, don't see the need for secrets. It takes more than one person to make a market.

Because of that I'm going to check out your method on here and maybe the book. Assuming you didn't charge more than $250! :

Hello Orange,

I am so looking forward to the release of your new book. I will be one of the first in line to purchase a copy. Considering our friendship, I hope to get a autographed copy. I think that your first book should sell for $50-$99. Your next book could easily sell for $250++.

Best wishes for you and your family in 2007.

Hi Orange,

I think that your book should be in paperback and Internet compatible format (pdf, html site, etc.) I really think it is easier for more people to access a website than a book, specially because the paper book would have to be distributed physically in many countries. For example, in my country (Colombia) I don´t have access to any Forex Books in the libraries or bookstores, but here I am, in Internet learning from you.

Although the information in it can produce a lot of money, it should be affordable to accomplish the goal of helping the kind of people you are describing. For example in Colombia, a book like that on other subjects costs about 20-30 USD, but of course in the States, and other developed countries, it should cost 40-60 USD.



Good luck and have a happy New Year,

Pablo

I think Pablo is right about $50 being top range of price.

Any more than that will cut into sales, especially from an author known mostly to FF crowd.

$25 is even more realistic.

LOL, I have more than 7 brokers who are already contacting me to market the book to their clients. 2 top Forex instructors email me to have the rights to print the books in several languages.

2007 will be interesting.

Personally, I would be willing to pay somewhere around 50 bucks. I would only pay that because I know there are three more episodes and this is the very basics, and i would want to save my money for the advanced methods. But that is based on my perceived knowledge of you. I find you to be a very intelligent man who has tons of wisdom to share because I have read your posts. Now if I were to walk into a bookstore and see a book by a guy named after a fruit, and giving no evidence of who he is, or his track record, or where he came from, forget it.

The book should be available in both formats. Diversify.

SRDC 1, i would be willing to pay 50 bucks..

SRDC 2, hmmmm that would cost 100+ to 200....if you put stuffs like recognizing candles, drawing perculiar trendlines that actually work, forecasting highs and lows...yes..till today ur tactics on SRDC 2 is still very much a mystery, but the basic level of srdc2 already pips so...aaahh heck! haha.

This book release seems a shade dodgy to me.

I'm not saying it is for sure, i'm just curious as to why the need to charge for srdc 1.

Not looking for a fight here TOO LATE!btw, just would like more explanation about the sudden change, and charge for this method.

pls no responses that are argumentive.

regards
Westie,

1- My time is very precious. Dont question my generiosity.

2- Compiling book will involved a lot of manpower. Will you help me?

3- It cost a lot money to print it. Will you pay for it? When you cant, who will? ME?

4- Free stuff is available here, copy and use my teaching FOR FREE. No need to pay me. The book is optional for those who think i am born to make people rich for free forever. As long as FF is still up and running, my teaching is still FREE.

5- It is not a sudden change, but I cant teach forever in FF. Im not required to. I cant teach 10,000 traders and consume my time doing this like i dont have better things to do. I can stop anytime I want. But, by preparing a manual, any serious would be trader can learn whenever and wherever they want. Its call time leverage. I can help more people endlessly.

6- Why shouldnt I charge? It will help to pay for the hassle of producing it.

7- For your information, most of the proceed from the book will goto my favourite charity, One Vision.

8- I made more money in a week then selling 1,000,000 of these books. So, please dont insult me. No need to feel dodgy.

There are many ways to ask questions. Use diplomacy and be sensitive to how others felt especially when many have earn more than enough pips (Its like getting 100 of these book for free) thru my FREE teachings.

Your post is an Insult.
Pls no responses necessary.

Orange, thanks for your time and help, many of us really appreciate it. Thank you Sir.

Regarding printing - maybe it is not necessary, you can convert it to pdf and sell over the net. I'll gladly show you how to do it or even I'll do it myself with pleasure if you wish, thats 5 minutes of work.

I voted between $50 and $99, but thats reasonable (very ))) ) for me..

Oh my goodness,

Westie I have seen you in the FF SRDC threads and you have had your questions answered several times. With what OrangeRoshan has given us for free, how can you use words like "shade dodgy"? We have SRDC I thread and SRDC II thread and Teamspeak room in which OrangeRoshan freely gives of his time and knowledge. If you understand OR's motives it is to give his knowledge to the masses at a fair price. You can't do it for free. I am afraid it is post's like yours that will ruin it for all of us.

I agree with traderlismiss on the pricing I think it should be between $50 and $75. By the way I posted in SRDCII thread about helping the poor in honor of Orange and this could be one of the ways --- buying this manual and distributing it to the poor then personally mentoring them to get them started. In essence, we would be duplicating what Orange has done with us on a smaller scale.

Orange, I think you are well on your way to making a huge impact in this world.

Cheers,
Jeff
