This session was a moderated panel format designed to share information and perspectives on a wide array of topics related to the Socrates platform. The session starts with a “general overview” of the platform, description of the models, features and different information and features available at each membership level - providing a stepping stone of sorts for those new to the platform, the models or would otherwise generally consider themselves a "beginner". For those who consider themselves more along the lines of an "intermediate" or "advanced" user, the session also shares some techniques by panelist Erwin Pletsch using Reversals and Arrays which flow from the Socrates research platform and available in the Pro level membership. This segment is intended for users who have an understanding of what Reversals and Arrays are already, and ideally have experience and a comfort level incorporating them into their own market research and strategies.

Anyone considering using the models and information within Socrates platform, as well as any techniques discussed within this or any other training sessions or materials should have experience already with investing and/or trading and are comfortable with concepts, methods, considerations and risks associated with investing and trading. It is also helpful for those to have some understanding and experience with cyclical and technical market analysis techniques and tools.

Please note the slides provided are a bit more comprehensive than some of those presented at the live session - these are intended to be used supplemental to the video which we hope helps fill in any gaps of what didn't make it to the live presentation.

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong – as a subscriber to Socrates, I find it remarkable how prescient its analyses have been. (Wish I were a better trader to benefit more financially! But that’s another story – live & learn. At least Socrates has kept me out of trouble, so far.) My observation/question is, now that Vermont has gone […]

QUESTION: Hi   I’m a long time reader of Martin’s blogs and subscriber to the Pro service   I’ve a question for Martin following his recent post “Sorting the Nonsense & Prejudices from the Truth of Reality” – it resonated strongly with all of the biases and prejudices that I’m seeing in the UK’s NHS […]

The Federal Reserve called a third emergency meeting to combat the economic impact of the unprecedented hyped coronavirus. A lot of emails have come in noting that Socrates had forecast the first interest rate cut by the Fed and its next target was March 23rd as we published back on March 3rd. Many have asked […]

  One of the more fascinating things is when people try to challenge me as an analyst and pretend it is a personal confrontation to try to prove me wrong personally. I have stated many times, whenever I have had a personal opinion that has been counter to Socrates, it is me who has always […]

QUESTION: Martin, Thank you for not only the brilliance you share but as a retired firefighter I have to say that your courage in the face of powerful, life threatening government / criminal agents and agencies impresses me as much or more. I was wondering if we can pre order copies of your latest book […]

As we have reached the turning point for the conclusion of this 8.6-year wave, there is so much going on even politically it is mind-blowing. Everything from Impeachment of Trump which may bring a surprise, European army, constitutional change in Russia, riots in Iran, a new record high in the US share market, the bounce […]

QUESTION: I found your analysis in Iran v USA very interesting. Sometimes I do have to read between the lines. For example, you wrote: “We should pay attention to November 4, 2022. That will be the 43rd anniversary of the seizing of the American embassy by Iran.”  That implies you did not see anything prior […]
