We would like to formally introduce the one, the only, Superman. Or more specifically the graduate master trader we named Superman. Mr. Bas Ass himself achieves the feat that no other traders accomplish; trading all day and loving every minute of it. We talk a lot about freedom and being able to live the lifestyle that you want to live through day trading. Superman lives life through trading and is the exemplary example of what every trader should do. At 64 years […]
Recap from another one of our master traders day… introduction coming soon: Runs, retracements and stops oh my….runs, retracements and stops oh my. There is that weird futures trading dream again. Trading is completely new world. You learn a new pseudo-language, ticks, fib. extensions, annoying areas, snap-crackle-pop, strong fyl, weak bb’s, wedges, head and shoulders, con-gressive…..Your thought process changes….you think in terms of probabilities and expected outcomes. You see things differently….on charts you see opportunities where the average person only sees squiggly […]
We scoured and reviewed nearly 5000 applicants and ended up choosing the winner for our contest to Jordan. We offered a one year free training program using the Congressive Trading System, the tourism board of Jordan were kind enough to offer an all expenses paid trip to the country, and Ninja Trader offered a one year free live multi-license. The Kempinski Hotel was one of the luxuries that we were able to experience while traveling through Jordan. We definitely plan on sharing […]
There are moments in a nomadic day traders life when you sit back in your chair and are stunned by amazement. There are times when you reach a destination or experience something so unique that you do not think you ever feel that feeling again. What we have learned as we continue to travel around the world is that there will always be that next moment to raise the bar even higher. The Taj Mahal in India is one of those moments. […]
Today I was able to squeeze 6.5 points out of the market, but felt I left a bunch on the table at the same time! I was unable to trade as long as I wanted because I had some training to do for my hockey team. Next time I do this I will attach a picture of me trading in the players lounge of our dressing room. The market started off with a nice trend to the upside with a picture perfect […]
We are on the tail and of our trip traveling and day trading in India. We recently to word through the entire land of the Kings, Rajasthan, and have continued through the holy city of Varanasi. If you have been keeping up with our India travel blog over at WanderingTrader.com you can read the full story of our confrontation with the Indian Mafia. The holy city of one of the most populous countries in the world is something else to experience.
We started our day trading exploits on a return trip from Venezuela. We spent the holiday season with grandmother and have fun day trading from Internet cafés in the center of the city. This trip to Venezuela was extremely uneventful compared to our previous soirée in the country were we were kidnapped and shot at. Not shot, just shot at. Much better scenario. Visit our sister site WanderingTrader.com to read the full story where our CEO and founder, Marcello Arrambide, tells the […]
This recap is from one of our Graduate Master Trader. Students that have graduated from the program and are trading live consistently. Today’s lesson is to trust your instincts. May 17th is independence day for the Norwegians, so I hunkered down into a library to avoid the pre-day festivities taking place in my apartment building. The early morning (before news at 10) was relatively straight forward. Maybe the 3rd trade was a little aggressive because we had news coming in 12 minutes or so, […]
So, I can officially say it feels good to have a full week of trading, with no losing days. (Well, Friday was a break-even day, but I’ll take it!) Granted, 7.75 pts isn’t making me a billionaire any time soon, but like the turtle in the old children’s story, slow and steady wins the race. One of the most important things that we have learned is that it is more important to make consistent gains everyday rather than making big profits. Last […]
We are really behind in getting some of our recaps up since we have been traveling through Brazil, Jordan, Thailand, and Australia. This is a chart from one of our graduate master traders (successful students that have graduate from the program and are now trading live) from May 1st. This chart shows such a progression in this traders chart (a hockey player that play professionally in Europe). He has a complete mastery of trusting his instincts and being able to have trust […]
