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 […]
Day Trading in Brazil was one of the most unique experiences that I could ever have. Of all of the countries I have had the opportunity to visit and trade from, Brazil by far is one of my favorites. Rio De Janeiro is one of the most unique cities that one could experience in the world. We started by renting a penthouse in an exclusive neighborhood in the Santa Theresa district. It was something else taking a train to our front door […]
The end of the Euro is a possibility that investors must consider. There has been numerous reports about the exit of Greece from the Euro-zone. The experts continue to speculate how and when this will occur. Greek participation in the Euro-zone was based on the belief that the Greeks would be somewhat responsible on government spending and debt. Alone maybe the Greek crisis would have been more manageable but there have been similar problems in Ireland, Portugal, Spain and now presently Italy […]
The best countries to invest in South America may not look as appealing as its peers in Asia, but many overlook the growth potential and rising political stability across the continent. Having heard about the rise of India for so long we decided to move to the new Asian giant in order to look at prospects for opening a day trading center. If you didn’t know most trading algorithms now come from India. I initially arrived in Mumbai, explored the beaches of […]
Germany is bringing the gold home. The government of Germany has asked that a large portion of its gold reserves that have been kept abroad be returned. Since 1973 Germany has not bought or sold any gold except what is released to their mint for commemorative coins. Germany has the second largest gold reserves after the United States. Germany at present owns about 3,400 tons which has been kept in 4 locations. These locations are New York, London, Paris and of course […]
The time has come to choose a winner! It is going to be extremely overwhelming as nearly 5,000 applicants applied to become part our new training program in Jordan. One of the responsibilities of being successful is also giving back. The members of the LTD Project and the students of the training program have been doing extremely well. We wanted to give someone the opportunity to invest in their future by not only giving them our tools and resources, but also including […]
Jan 18th was options expiration day. One of the reasons why we are able to continue to thrive in the markets is because we use a variety of sources in order to improve the Congressive Trading System. It isn’t just about sharing new ideas and concepts with traders that we have been trading with for close to ten years. No, it’s also about having our student experts chime in on what’s important. The markets are always going to change throughout time and […]
Wanted to remind all day traders out there that the markets are officially closed on Monday in observance of the Martin Luther King holiday. The market will open at it’s normally scheduled time on Sunday at 5pm EST and officially the official close will be on Monday at 10.30am EST. In other words, the market is open only during a very small portion of the normal session and it will not provide enough opportunities. The market will reopen at normal hours on […]
Today we hosted our own traders and invited other traders to join us in a live class to see exactly how we read the market.

If you were following our Day Trading Academy Facebook page we provided live updates! Here is the initial chart that we had this morning with the […]
