The Biggest Lie In The Day Trading Industry

day trading lies

The Day Trading Industry is one of the most unique industries that I have ever seen.  Over my roughly 10 year career I have experienced both sides of it, being taken advantage of & scammed in the beginning followed by being an insider developing strategies for day trading companies that (badly needed it!) requested my services. It is always easier for us to point fingers instead of looking in the mirror and realizing that part of the problem is ourselves.  Many of […]

Oct 26th Recap: 9 Pts from London, England

risk management

I meant to have this up Friday but unfortunately I have been plagued by low internet upload speeds here at the hostel where I am staying and chose to upload the live class recordings for everyone in the training program for this week. One of the things that I make sure I do for everyone is record not just the live classes, but all of the review classes as well.  We have traders from all over the globe and as a person […]

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)

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 […]
