Master Trader Recap: 3.5 Pts on October 7th

Master Trader Recap: 3.5 Pts on October 7th

Our master trader won’t have time to do a full write up but I asked him to share his chart so we could show what the possibilities were for today. He is an up and coming master trader that has a unique eye for the markets. Excellent job of minimizing his risk (while even making mistakes) and deciding when to quit. He could have still made quite a bit if he continued watching the markets. One thing that many traders realize is […]

Sept 30th Recap: The Hit Man is Back! 4.25 pts

You remember the Hit Man don’t you? We recently met up with the Hit Man on his last day of work when he decided to quite his job and become a full time trader.  This was the beginning of our Great Master Trader tour where we traveled across four countries to visit with our master traders that were living their dreams.

I have the pleasure of introducing another trader that has risen to the ranks of Graduate Master Trader status.  We have a great range of master traders now that are able to capitalize on exceptional market movement.  Everything from traders that trade all day, those that trade for only 10-20 minutes, and others that hold positions a bit longer than most.

Reflecting on Success, Day Trading, And Freedom

It is quite surreal to return to the city where everything started.  By everything I mean leaving a certified paycheck that I would receive two times a month and the decision to quit in order to start a new nomadic lifestyle.

Before I left the United States permanently and wanted to live a life of day trading […]
