About Us

James Maggio Msc

James Maggio is an engineer and mathematician living in Vancouver, Washington, USA.

James became intrigued with the markets well over 30 years ago. He was particularly excited by the work on market cycles described by J.M. Hurst in his book "The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing".

"What Mr Hurst really meant by this was 'getting in and out at the right time'. But then he was an academic and as such delighted in making things sound more complex than they are."

After studying Hurst's work James Maggio noticed that he never actually described how the Hurst-system worked.

"What intrigued me most about Hurst was how he had never shown or explained the mathematics behind his curvilinear envelopes. I cannot find one instance in any of his published works or lecture notes (which cost up to $5000!) where he divulged this secret."

Painstakingly, over a period of years, James Maggio discovered how Hurst did it and, more importantly,has improved the mathematics to make the charting service work consistently over a large range of markets. He's even applied the mathematics of economic data such as the U.S. unemployment rate history and industrial production.

"Now am I going to tell you what I've discovered and how to 'crack the code' ? "NO WAY. But I will make my work available every day to subscribers of ForexTRM's Sigma Bands™ Charting Service.

"My involvement with James Maggio and Trade Risk Management is a similar scenario to the guy who tried a product and liked it so much he bought the company or, in my case, half the company."

John is a shareholder in Washington State registered company Trade Risk Management, LLC.

"In the years I've been trading professionally I've been shown and asked to look at all manner of technical analysis services.

"Quite frankly, most of the them are little more than 'snake-oil', so when I was asked to evaluate Trade Risk Management's service I thought here we go again and braced myself for another affliction of 'MEGO', meaning 'My Eyes Glaze Over'.

"How wrong I was. Trade Risk Management is remarkable in its accuracy and ease of operation, so simple that even I can use it.

"How many times have you agonised over where and when to enter a market?

"If you're honest with yourself the answer is many times. Well I can say that Trade Risk Management takes much of the stress out of analysis.

"Use this charting service and you will be giving yourself a real edge in the market."
