My Email Address

Before contacting me, please use the search feature of ThePatternSite.com (located on the upper left of almost every page) or just browse to find answers to your questions. Here are a few pages you may find helpful in your search.

  • FAQ: Frequently asked questions provide illuminating answers.

Since I am very busy, do not use me as your own personal portfolio manager or stock picking guru. I am here to help, but please don't be a pest.

If you are discussing something on ThePatternSite.com, then please provide the link to the web page. I have hundreds of pages of information here, so I need to know to what you are referring. If you are talking about a pattern, be sure to identify the start and end dates. I have no idea what time scale you are using, so telling me where to look is mandatory.

Send questions or comments in English to Tom at the following email address:

The following sections may also help you before contacting me.

Sending Images

A picture of a simple ABC correction.

If you have a question about a specific security, then tell me the symbol and the dates where you believe the pattern occurs OR send a picture of it with the pattern marked.

The image to the right is an example of what I'm talking about. The points in question are labeled, so you can discuss them in your email and I won't have to guess where they might be.

To capture an image, do this:

  1. Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard,
  2. Paste the image into mspaint.exe (comes with Windows) or other drawing program,
  3. Add lines and text highlighting the pattern or situation,
  4. Save it as a jpg (jpeg) file,
  5. And add the image to your email as an attachment.

Do Not Send

I answer all emails promptly except:

  • Spam;
  • Scam;
  • Business propositions;
  • Requests to join social sites.
  • Emails that require me to click a link to become an "approved sender;"
  • Emails in a language other than English (translate it first including the subject line, and then send);
  • Any idea that tries to profit from my generosity; and
  • Any e-cards like Christmas/birthday/Valentine’s day cards sent through email.

Exchanging Links

If you would like to link to ThePatternSite.com like almost 800 sites already have, then please do so. You do not need my permission for that.

If you are a commercial outfit or someone I consider a money mercenary and want to exchange links, the answer will be "No thanks." Use google to advertise on ThePatternSite.com instead.

If we exchange links and my link on your site disappears or gets buried where no one but you can find it, then your link will disappear on ThePatternSite.com without notice. Your link on my site is displayed on the links page, accessed via the home page of ThePatternSite.com. I ask for similar treatment on your site.

Stealing Content

Every page on ThePatternSite.com is copyrighted. You may link to the pages, but not take or copy the content in any manner. Taking content is a violation of international copyright law and is strictly forbidden. Stealing information from other websites is a sure way to tarnish your reputation and diminish traffic in the long run. It's always best if you develop your own content, like I have on this website.

If you want to use my content then you have to receive permission to do so. Contact Tom at the following email address.

Advertising on ThePatternSite.com

I use google to handle advertising on ThePatternSite.com, meaning I do not rent or lease ad space. Contact them for more information. I do not endorse any ad that appears on my website. See the privacy policy for more information.
