Graduate Master Trader June 10th Recap: New Born Baby Witnesses 2+ pts

Graduate Master Trader June 10th Recap: New Born Baby Witnesses 2+ ptsIce Man & his new born

Well today I arrived home from my workout at 3 oclock Norway time just in time to sit down and watch the market. My baby is now one week old and it has been a lot of sleepless nights, as many of you parents would know. I grabbed him, sat down for a nice lesson! Figured I would start him young! Maybe he will be the face of DTA when Marcello is old and grey! Editors Note:  This is what it’s all about at the […]

June 12th Live Trading Video (Cont): Ending up with 6.5 pts

June 12th Live Trading Video (Cont): Ending up with 6.5 pts

At the end of the day I just couldn’t stay out of the market. At this point in the morning it isn’t necessarily about making money its about how the market is moving.  When we have this kind of momentum it would be foolish to avoid trading. We are reviewing redeveloping the entire curriculum and expanding it out to assist more of our advanced and successful traders.   I always watch the market even if I trade or not but there is a different […]

Tradestation ChartsMy Tradestation Charts for today

This is really what it is all about isn’t it. The market has been moving like an absolute DREAM recently.  Last week we even saw massive swings in the market and this in the end is what every trader has to ask for, volatility and movement. I have still been waking up at 6.30 am begrudgingly as my body is still getting adjusted to Toronto time after day trading Singapore for over a month. It was an incredible experience being physically in […]

Graduate Master Trader Recap: June 3rd Houston We Have a Problem

Graduate Master Trader Recap: June 3rd Houston We Have a Problem

“Houston we have a problem.”   This famous line was said by pilot Jack Swigert during the infamous Apollo 13 moon mission.  Today at DTA we had our own mission control problem.  As we started our live market class, DTA commander Marcello had a technical problem which prevented him from having the class. Lucky for him, he has trained a small army of professional traders that can step in without skipping a beat and teach the class at a moments notice.  And what […]

Graduate Master Trader June 11th Recap: 2 pts

Graduate Master Trader June 11th Recap: 2 pts

Editors Note: This is how many of our graduate master traders prefer to trade.  In and out in a few minutes and finish with a handful of points everyday.  The philosophy here is to be consistent everyday.  Reviewing all of Deuce’s charts he has been able to consistently make a profit every single day.  Soon enough he will be able to spend his days on the beach every day. Hi everybody. Today I didn’t feel like watching the market for too long so […]

Graduate Master Trader June 10th Recap: 5 pts

Graduate Master Trader June 10th Recap: 5 pts

Hi guys. Today I decided to test the market and trade for a few hours. I wanted to see how many points I could extract from the market. As you can see, I made a few mistakes but every day is a learning experience. I made a total of 5 points today. Editors Note: While we all look for points in an overall sense do what to point out that after commissions Deuce would have made $1915 today assuming he was trading […]

Graduate Master Trader June 5th Recap: Deuce .75 pts

Graduate Master Trader June 5th Recap: Deuce .75 pts

We continue to review and share trades from our graduate master traders: Hi guys. This morning the market wasn’t respecting our areas so I had to be patient. The first trade to the downside didn’t work then the market kept swinging up and down. The key sometimes is to wait for the most compelling opportunities and not rush into the market. After news we had a beautiful run to the upside which failed. There was a strong run to the downside, but I […]

Graduate Master Trader Deuce: June 4th Recap - 2 Pts

Another recap by another one of our successful graduate master traders: Hi guys. We had some good movement early in the market today. I took a pre market trade to the upside and after the price consolidated for a few bars, I decided to take a small profit of 3 ticks then I jumped right back in and I was able to make 2 points on another trade to the upside. Unfortunately, I didn’t get filled on two trades and on my last trade […]

Hi guys. Today there was good movement early in the market. On my first trade to the downside, I noticed a head and shoulders pattern so I decided to take the trade at the midband and I was lucky […]
