"Hi there Fari,
Wow! I just can't tell you how impressed I am with the outstanding work you have done in putting together such a world class web-site on options. Between you and I, over the years, as a T.V. personality of sorts, I have been on the receiving end of a number of off-beat stock market theories. People come up to you at conferences with work they want you to look at, which is of course, very flattering but 90% of it doesn't have a prayer in suceeding. You try to be as nice as you can, but you can't help getting a little jaded. I read analysis in magazines most of which is not that good, and for awhile was asked to beta-test computer programs, so I believe I know good work when I see it. So you know, in my shoes, sometimes you get so glazed over hearing about this or that, and they always turn out disappointing that after awhile you just you know what, really cutting edge work just doesn't exist. So whacko sent me a 40 page to me 3 weeks claiming to 100% accurate on the market all the time, and he got upset when I didn't agree. Oops!
Anyway, all of this is to say, - Man..., Fari, with this web site, you've just hit one deep over the center field bleechers right out of the park!
Great Work ! "10"!!!
I hope we can stay in touch, I'll help you anyway I can. You're info. is quite valuable and should be able to earn you a very fine living without doing anything else. I hope we can get together in the near future for lunch or dinner."
Best Regards,
Frank Barbera, Jr., CMT
"As the creator of Traders-Talk.com, I get to evaluate some of the finest technical analysis available. After looking at Fari's work for some time, I have to say that it qualifies as some of the best "heads up" analysis I've seen in my 20 years of trading.
What's fascinating, is that he can give you heads up for a turn, when there are seemingly no hints of such. Everything seems just as it was, and then suddenly, THERE it is. In my opinion, a trader who uses Fari's work will rarely be surprised by a big reversal, and will often be profitably positioned for it.
I strongly recommend taking the time to understand his work. It pays its own way."

"Hi Jim
Hamzei Analytics is a powerhouse of indicators and trading ideas that continues to help me generate profits. As a futures trader for 25 years, I was skeptical of joining a chat room, but I was introduced to one on this website and it has added tremendous value to my trading. Everday I learn from Brad Sullivan as he shares his observations and trading scenarios. Brad has helped to sharpen my trading skills in the S&P and he also recently had a great trade recommendation in soybeans that tagged his objective and enabled me to lock in a tidy profit.
Thanks, Brad and Fari for creating this and I can only say it is exciting to be associated with a team that has the research and experience to develop winning strategies."

Subject: Greetings from Canada
"First off, I'd like to extend my gratitude for an unbelievable seminar in Chicago. I found the content to be extremely interesting and directly applicable to my current and future style of trading. You truly have a wealth of knowledge and I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet with you in such a personal environment. While traveling home, I managed to read most of your new book and have found multiple topics of interest - what a team of traders you have assembled! As I'm sure you've known for a long time, trading is exciting and it's always refreshing to meet new people with new ideas. It's what gives us the inertia to keep pushing forward in such a difficult business.
I checked the HOTS recommendations last night and have initiated two of the three positions. I couldn't get into PCU at the suggested spread and am wondering if it's too late now. Also, I am wondering about the MO trade...If the feeling is bullish, why not just go long the calls and take part in the upside to it's full extent?
Once again, it was a pleasure meeting you and I hope to stay in touch via trading room and further emails (if that's okay) Who knows, I might have to take you up on your offer for breakfast on Saturday down in sunny California!!
Best Regards,"

Subject: Testimonial
Hamzei Analytics has a wide range of useful resources for the professional trader. I've been trading since 1998, and find that I can never know enough about the market. I'm always trying to learn and read up on the current market issues. I find the chat room to be a treasure chest of information. There was a comment about a leak that the fed was going to cut rates the day before it happened. I took a long position overnight and made a very nice return the following morning when the futures jumped 2%. This is just an example of the type of comments you can find during the trading day. I have to confess that I've probably learned more about economics in this trading room than I did during my undergraduate courses.
The mindset of a trader is one of the most important aspects of trading profitably and is probably what I have taken most from Hamzei Analytics trading room and resources. There are many seasoned professionals to consult every trading day. Since I have been using this service, I have managed to develop from my average trading with no real system and huge swings in p&l, to a more consistent style and system. Thank you Fari Hamzei.

I have been a very active trader since 1999. In January of 2006, I went full time as an equity index futures trader. As an individual trader, I am always looking for data and resources to give myself an "edge". After reading "Master Traders" (I should say studying it) and following Hamzei Analytics blog for sometime... I became extremely impressed with the resources that were being pulled together.
I became a member of Hamzei Analytics SuperPlatinum and PBT in early 2007... It has revolutionized the way I trade futures!!! The technologies utilized and the support I receive from Fari and other users has transformed my daily profit goals. I am a very disciplined systematic trader and Hamzei Analytics has helped me further fine tune my approach and my "emotions".
Lastly, we as traders are constantly evolving. What impresses me the most is that Hamzei Analytics continues to strive for providing me with that ever evolving "edge".

Hi Mike,
Seeing new data... can certainly have a negative impact on your trading... However, from my experience, learning and implementing the tools and techniques into my prior experience and method has absolutely 100% changed the size in which I trade and my profit targets... For example, I am a reactionary trader... but, that being said, I go into each day now having extreme confidence in knowing where, when, and how big my bet size will be... I used to scalp 2-3 pts a trade.... religiously... Now, it is not uncommon for me to have 20+ pt days in ES... My goal is 10pts a day... averaged over a year... for me... that is serious coin... Point being, 10 pts, I believe is a realistic and conservative goal... I would encourage you to invest 3 months into the Superplatinum Room... The reason I suggest 3 months... is that is the time it took me to become 100% confident in the added indicators and target levels... at which time I began to trust and trade them... ci, cidiff, pbt etc are unreal... Hope to see you in there... or email me back if you have further questions or comments... btw... I receive nothing for my comments here and opinions... I am truly a satisfied member... as is everyone involved..
Take Care... good trading

Subject: CBOE Thanks
Fari,
Just a note of thanks for everything that I learned at your recent CBOE seminar. I had been struggling to put this all together myself, but the class brought it all together. I now have a better understanding of $PCR and sigma channels and how to use the two together. I came home, applied the principles and after dabbling in a few small trades I put on a larger trade last week. The underlying (FCX) is up $9.00 over the last 2 days and looks like there is more to go. I figure that on this trade alone I have paid my airfare, hotel and tuition nine times over. This is not so much about a great trade. It is about understanding the principles you outlined, learning to use your website, finding a setup based on what you taught and following it up. I am certain I can use the same principles over and over again. Thanks for providing such a great platform.

Subject: September 27 & 28 class at CBOE
Thank you for your time and expertise for the class. What I found to be particularly helpful in your teachings were the butterfly roll on spreads and the understanding of the market makers available deltas and vegas. I noticed in certain option trades the components being utilized from what was discussed on the floor and that has given me a better understandings of the inter workings of the options market.
I would like to see the Op-Eval pro be able to calculate more than one expiration. My trades are volatility based on a majority of those trades are calendar-ized. It leaves the software limited and with the advent of think or swim, trade king and other black box platforms in order to compete head on there must be some adjustments. I do like it and will continue to use it for same months directional trades.
What I found to be particularly helpful with Fari was the sigma bands. Being able to see real time volatility is amazing. I found his advice and expertise to be very thorough in thought and concept. I also appreciate that Hamzei Analytics has a virtual trading room to converse with other pro traders. One thing I have always felt was isolated and had only limited places i could turn for help. I feel like i joined the Yankees. everyone in the room is a bonafide trader.
$wPCR has led me to analyze my strategies and selections in a much more informed manner. I use the data daily. I also really enjoyed his teaching style and mathematical background. If i can say anything that would need to be improved was the wykoff explanations and to explain more of the charting indicators as a lot of times in the afternoons we would start blending and it would become cumbersome. All in all I am super happy i attended and would attend additional classes in the future. It looks like a fantastic team to be a part of. Thank you and all the best.

Just a quick note to say Thank You for your time and patience in helping me to understand the system. You, personally, went above and beyond the call to make certain that I had a clear working knowledge of the Sigma Channels and all that goes with them to make consistent winning and highly-profitable trades - the call on VOD was a picture-perfect home run! My only regret was that I didn't buy more contracts - HA!

Good afternoon Mr. Hamzei, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to speak with me while attending the optionsxpress xpo. As I said when we met, my main reason for attending the xpo was to meet you and say thank you in person.
Your webinar on Optionsxpress several weeks ago changed the way I get into trades. Since I started trading options that are at least two strike prices in the money, I have been making substantially more money in my trades. Also I have been using the information from your website to help select my trades.
Thanks for signing my book and for the shirt.
Have a great day,
Rich Martin
