Oct 23rd Recap w/ Students Making 4-9 Points!

Oct 23rd Recap w/ Students Making 4-9 Points!1023 Overall Market

What an absolutely INCREDIBLE DAY to trade the markets. This week we are going to have a student take over again and have students run the classes. We have live market classes running on Monday through Thursday, who wants to trade on Friday’s right? I always love to have the student hot seats where students who are now proficient with the Congressive System show the way they trade the market. I have a deep belief that everyone has a unique style within […]

A Losing Day: This Is What Happens When You Lose Focus (Oct 18th Recap)

losing money day tradingStop losing money day trading

I have been running around all day getting errands accomplished in addition to waiting at the high commission of India office to reclaim my passport with (hopefully) an approved visa to India.  If anything I am more willing to share the losing days than the winning days because we have more lessons to learn on days that we lose than days that we win. Really want to take this time out to talk a little bit about staying focused. One of the […]

Oct 17th Recap: 6+ Points in London, Englad

Oct 17th Recap: 6+ Points in London, Englad

I have been working very hard on updating the curriculum and I have already added tons of new information that most of the students in the training program have left great feedback about. This is the main reason that I have not uploaded any updates for last week and this week. We have seen great movement as the volume in the market has returned to normal levels and we are also seeing great levels of volatility as well. It’s going to be […]

The Problems With The CQG Feed & How to Fix It

CQG FEED NINJATRADERThe CQG Feed Logo

The CQG fee for Ninja Trader is one of the most popular feeds available on the market for the ES and many other markets as well.  Most Emini brokers and Ninja Trader brokers offer the CQG feed since it is supposed to be one of the most reliable feeds available. Keyword, supposed to.  With CQG’s recent problems we can’t refer to them as the most reliable in the industry. The CQG feed has been showing signs of weakness, I cannot recall so […]

The Emini S&P 500 Is Still The Best Market To Day Trade

Emini SP 500The Emini SP 500 Chart

The Emini S&P 500 has given us a great year.  We have seen a range of possibilities and market movement throughout the last year of 2012. Many people had a very rough time making profits with the record low volume that we had in the month of August and September. Many people announced that the ES was dead and others decided to switch markets I however, would still go on record saying that the Emini S&P 500 is the best market to […]

The Calm Before The Storm

calm before the stormcalm before the storm? A storm coming in Medellin, Colombia

The calm before the storm can explain a lot.  There is always a reasoning behind everything that happens, every action has a reaction, every cause has an effect.  I have been thinking about the record low volume & volatility that we saw in August & September and I have finally come up with a reason of why this is happening. It isn’t unusual to see low volume in the summer months as the big wigs at CNBC and other big traders take […]

Updates To Day Trading Retreat & Why My Traders Deserve The Ritz

Updates To Day Trading Retreat & Why My Traders Deserve The Ritz

We are signed, sealed, and delivered. The London Retreat is about two months away and I am super excited to have our very first seminar for everyone in the program.  As always, I do plan on doing things a little bit differently. Most seminars that I have attended in my near 10 year career as a day trader have essentially been a review of what is already available in an online curriculum.  In other words, the same material that is available online […]

Introducing New Updates To The Congressive Trading System

Introducing New Updates To The Congressive Trading System

It’s that time of the year again, in order to be effective day traders we have to continuously improve, adapt, and stay ahead of the curve. The market is always going to changing over time and if we don’t change with it then we fall behind the curve. It’s been almost a year now since traders from a previous company that I was a part of convinced me to start teaching again.  I am very thankful and appreciative that they did because […]

Oct 5th Recap: 5 Points On Last Day In Barcelona

La PerdreraOne of Gaudi's popular buildings: La Perdrera in Barcelona

Today is a sad day in the world of The Day Trading Academy, I have to leave Barcelona.  I decided to buy a flight to London considering the fact that I have tons to do with the revamping of the training program in addition to attend a handful of Expos, both day trading and travel related. I did do a bit of sightseeing as well and got to see some of the famous I feared Barcelona; La Sagrada Familia (2nd time), Park Güell […]
