Sprint training is one of the techniques that I use as part of the training program in order to both improve the education and also make it more effective. The idea is to have short bursts of training and then a rest period followed by another burst of training. This is the model that I live my life by in order to never get bored and also stay motivated and focused. By nature, and thanks to the fathers of my generation, I […]
Finally! I was getting a little tired of telling people that the year to date results for my day trading strategy was through March. I was tired of telling people that the average win throughout the year was 1.97 points. Luckily, I was sadly mistaken as the average for the month of February was 1.97 points. The actual year to date results through March was 2.35 points a day The April results are promptly reported on Brazilian time as I have formally […]
Welcome to the Blitz everyone! What I have decided to do is have a two week class blitz for everyone in the training program because of the Internet problems I have had here in Rio de Janeiro. I have had a very exciting two months in the city but unfortunately my Internet has been very subpar. Thanks third world! I’m going to record many of the classes as I usually do for all the traders that are in the training program around […]
That is the view from my temporary office as I write this recap. I am in a small town in southern Brazil called Florianopolis that is known for gorgeous beaches and well, gorgeous woman. You didn’t think I was coming here just for the beach did you? Today was the kind of day that makes traders take weeks off. I left a lot on the table but it didn’t matter because I was still able to make close to 20 points. For […]
I made a million bucks today, again! Yep. That is the common adage in the day trading industry, picking and choosing the best days in order to look very good in the eyes of newbies. Well guess what, we didn’t have any “classic opportunities” on May 1st and I am more than willing to admit it. I didn’t make a million bucks, I didn’t lost anything, I sat in front of the computer and wished the rain would stop. It was as boring as […]
Welcome to the last day of the month! It is certainly not a nice day in Rio de Janeiro only decided to spend the entire day with hookah, reggae, and a day trading. I have taken over the living room and as you can see with the picture below this is my office for the day. No Bundas here, if you don’t know what a Bunda and see this recap. I am very excited about some of the developments that have been […]
It has been a while hasn’t it? We have a fantastic penthouse apartment overlooking the entire city here in Rio and we have been working diligently on what we now call the Day Trading Proyecto. That is going to be the name of the day trading center in Colombia, Brice and I (will formally introduce Brice soon) are probably a year or more away from actually having a solid plan but I am very excited about the concept. We haven’t explored much […]
It has been two weeks into this and I would like to thank everyone that entered the contest kindly for keeping me busy. Everyone did just as I asked which disappointed me a bit to be honest. I thought that since I show my personality via The Day Trading Academy and I wanted to see the personality of others as well. I was looking for someone to be different, to stand out, to show me their real personality. I know that everyone that […]
It all started in Medellin, Colombia, the city I often call home in the western hemisphere. A few months later Brice and I are starting a new project in Medellin called the Day Trading Proyecto. The LTD Project Brazil grew out of the passion for day trading and Brice and I are here working hard and partying hard in order to open a new Day Trading Center in Colombia. (Thinking out loud here) One possible idea that we came up with was […]
This is a continuation of my post about day trading competence, I want to elaborate a bit more as to why most day traders fail. Click here to read the previous post. Too many shortcuts are taken in the very beginning of trading careers which causes a rift in the clear understanding of market principles, indicators, and concepts. This is when you first get started, I will be doing another post on why experienced day traders fail. More time is spent re-reviewing […]
