One of the most important concepts that we talked about on July 17th in the live class was momentum. It is so important to be able to understand the micro momentum and know when to go long and short and also the macro momentum in order to understand when to be aggressive and conservative. One of the biggest problems that I see in people’s trading is not being able to make the switch, today was a day that started off straight to […]
The day trading system that everyone is looking for, the holy grail. I am here to tell you that after 10 years of being in this industry I have finally found the holy grail of day trading systems. I hope you are sitting down to watch this revolutionary trading system The fact of the matter is that there is no holy grail day trading system. Most people are looking for shortcuts I have to be brutally honest and admit that when I […]
These are the days that all day traders detest, a massive 19 point range where the market continued to fly to the upside and there were but a handful of opportunities to take advantage of. It’s even worse when you try to take trades and you just don’t get filled. I wanted to share today’s recap simply because I want to prove to you that it’s not about making double-digit points every day. I have shared when we have had absolutely massive […]
I was supposed to process the video from our live class last week on Thursday or Friday but as always, life in Rio de Janeiro gets in the way. I wanted to share today’s live class specifically because it was a very uneventful. By uneventful I mean, there were not hundreds of opportunities that netted 1 billion points for us. I actually prefer to teach on these kinds of days because it forces everyone to focus on discipline rather than making money. […]
I would like to formally introduce Paul to you, he has a unique story and came to me with the same story that most of us go through in the industry. I spent a lot of time and money and I am getting zero results. Sadly, I have even been through it, which is one of the reasons why I started this site I wanted to share his story because he was very hesitant to start with me. He did what any […]
Just finished up a great live class today and realized just how hard it is to try and day trade and teach at the same time. Its a very careful balance and one of the ways that I devised my currently risk management structure when I day trade eminis on my own. One of the themes from today was identifying momentum and learning when to be aggressive. It is that whole idea of using a Congressive day trading system where you adapt to the momentum of […]
Today was one of those days that was exceptional for trading, not only because we could have made done well, but also because there were very important lessons which each and every single movement. There were so many opportunities to be able to take a graceful exit and learning the art of being able to exit a trade early is one of the things that is vital to trading. I have been gone from the United States for so long and have […]

I wanted to post this video earlier but I was ravaging through the country of Peru. There is only one more country left to travel to in South America which is Ecuador. I remember meeting Mahad like it was yesterday, it was my very first night in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and I wanted to party like it was 1999. He showed me around the city and introduced me to some Ethiopian customs like chewing chat (click here if you […]
Today was another phenomenal day in the market for us and I wanted to try something a little different for the last few days by sharing student charts. I just ended the class blitz where I hosted a serious of classes for everyone in the training program and it couldn’t have ended on a better note. Tomorrow is contract rollover day which means that the contracts change. If you want a better understanding of that means check out the day trading eminis where […]
