The learning how to day trade project has been nothing short of amazing. A few years ago we embarked on a quest to truly comprehend what it would take to become a day trader. There were endless questions of how long it took, what it would cost, and whether personalities and backgrounds would matter. The learning how to day trade project was also about giving someone else the opportunity to live their dreams. This is another reason why we rented the Jordan […]
Last but not least is the final recap for the first full week of February. The week was truly a tale of extremes. Something that comes very familiar from visiting India and living in the country for just over two months. Friday brought about the blizzard of the century and aside from being the end of the week it seems as if the blizzard is what took the volume of the market. The blizzard did not end up being that bad in […]
It has been nothing but extremes in the first full week of February. From a $8,000 day on Monday followed by a $1,125 on Tuesday and now a $7,000 day on the 7th. While those numbers sound fantastic we don’t think of the market in terms of dollars and cents. Those people that trade with and for the DTA Trading Army think in terms of points and ticks. The concept here is to understand that the ultimate focus is to make the […]
It is moving day! After a 22 hour journey from the extremes of India we have finally arrived in one of the financial capital of the world, New York City. It’s been a unique few years being able to day trade from exotic locations like Brazil, Colombia, India, and even Argentina. We were able to day trade from London when we hosted our first day trading retreat (seminar). We are now at one of the largest and iconic financial centers in the […]
At last the market recap for February 4th. It has been quite a busy week with our move from India to the United States. We will be spending the next few weeks in New York City attending the traders Expo at the Marriot Marquis near Times Square. It was my last day in India and it was a bittersweet ending. Normally when we start living overseas we immediately procure an apartment. Due to the inconsistencies of service, mainly internet and electricity, it […]
Don’t have enough time to do a full write up and video for the recap today but I wanted to share the chart. This is the primary thing that we try to do at the Day Trading Academy is to identify market movements and capitalize when the market is moving well. There were two fundamental movements to identify today that indicated the trend to the downside was going to occur. By being able to identify it we just ride the wave so to […]
One of the things that was always in the back of our minds is how we were going to balance day trading & traveling. If it wasn’t for the likes of Paul and the other students we wouldn’t be able to continue living the lifestyle of traveling around the world day trading. This was the first thought since we posted the very first market recap on the site. We share this because starting last week we have had nothing but students run […]
I really should travel on Indian trains more often. One of the things I love about day trading in India is the fact that we are a gorgeous 10.5 hours ahead of the market. This means that my mornings involve lots of snoring and anything else one can concoct on a budding 3 month adventure through India. It was quite an experience taking the train and the highest class available to book didn’t have privacy, comfortable pillows, nor a bathroom that smelled like glorious popery. […]
The day arrived, day trading in Mumbai, India, had begun. It was a new adventure, a new life, a new way to experience one of the most ancient cultures of our time reemerge. I was excited to experience this first hand as many years from now the world will look at this time and wonder what was the turning point in history. It was decided to visit India now because this is the coolest time of the year. As heat and humidity […]
The decline of the American dollar is still rapidly in motion as a set of fiscal and spending policies by the American federal government create a perfect monetary and economic storm. The continued strength of the dollar at the end of 2012 is more a symptom of the weakness and in one case the non-convertibility of other currencies. As much as a number of countries would like to disembark from the American dollar the alternatives are not plausible given present economic conditions […]
