A tribute

[Kurt]

I was visiting my parents in Colorado during a snowy and bleak New Year's Eve at the end of 2006, and in my free moments I was casting around the internet for information and knowledge about commodities trading. This had me sifting through articles calling for abandonment of fiat currency or pushing murky Elliot counts –- reading that became more entertaining after a few cups of eggnog.

And there, nestled among the writings of the goldbugs, was one article that presented clear and insightful charts showing some long-term trends in the NDX and S&P. Amidst all the prognosticators and peddlers of newsletters, one author offered a balance between forecasting likely trades and teaching the reader how to interpret the market. I subscribed to his website right away, and there began my education in trading and technical analysis.

There is nobody who could follow as many markets as nimbly as Dominick Mazza could – and he covered all of them while single-handedly maintaining a subscription service for hundreds of traders. Somehow, even while he was attending to the markets and the website, he found time to connect with each member, answer questions, pose riddles, engage in contests, and make the study of charts and trades a fascinating activity for all of us. In this very difficult field, he was a virtuoso who, through generosity of spirit, cared more about his subscribers' development as traders than he did for his own trading.

On this one-year anniversary of his passing, this thread is a place where some might wish to share their memories of Dom.

His spirit is always with us...

I always believed that who keeps looking for solution will eventually find it..and after I walked into Dom's charts & analysis looking for something what could move me closer towards my dream I had a very strong feeling that this will help me. And it did! Dom & TTC crew with their unbiased approach showed me again and again that it's possible to read markets even on intraday basis.

Since that there were few other "milestones" which moved me closer and closer to making my dream real but Dom was the first one and showed me the way and for that he will never be forgotten.
There was a lot to learn from him. Can't forget his approach to market "news" :)

Dom thank you for the three short months I got to spend with you at TTC, in that short time I found out how good of a trader and a teacher you were. I will never forget your trade of the year shorting oil.

May you rest in peace, god bless your family

My few email exchanges with Dom were short but rich. One of his remarks to me was, after an early win for me at TTC, he said, "take a break and step back".

Thanks Dom, we miss you. I hope you are pleased with how we're carrying on !

Earlier today RSI requested that I remind everyone of some splendid charts that Dominick posted in his last weekly thread on TTC.

I carry my TTC coin where ever I trade, specifically for good luck and to always remember what loss really means in this business. I propose a virtual toast to the great trader Dom, in memoriam ad infinitum...
