Market Recaps

Editors Note: Oh… so you thought that it was all butterflies and rainbows when it comes to trading? I don’t think so sir (or miss for our day trading angels out there).   One of the reasons why we have such a tight knit community here at The Day Trading Academy (DTA) is to be there for each other through thick and thin. In these kinds of situations when someone can have a terrifying losing day all because of bad circumstances. Losing is part of […]

Editors Note: Ice Man continues to dominate the market. Not that today wasn’t that easy to decipher. It’s quite easy to be able to make money in trending markets. The focus should be to make money in sideways or low volume markets. Overall the idea is to be consistently positive. We do have some excited news that we plan on sharing soon about all of our master traders and plans for the future. Hopefully it was a good day for you as […]

Editors Note:  For those of you that don’t know the man we call Ice Man is a professional hockey player in Europe.  He changed his schedule around so that he could practice in the morning and trade in the afternoons. Hockey has always been his passion and he continues to day trade and play professional hockey. There were times where he traded inside of his very locker room and others where he had his newborn sitting on his lap.   Today he […]

Editors Note: This is a recap by one of our up and coming master traders in our training program. Had an absolutely incredible day today in the markets with only four trades and over 10 points! First day of a new month is always an exciting day to trade.  With all the geopolitical events going on I knew today had the potential for some good movement early.  I wasn’t disappointed. After seeing the market opened with a gap down and then trade […]

Editors Note: The Ice Man returns. James has been taking his trading to a whole new level is what a little birdie told me. He went out of his way to change his practice for the professional hockey team that he plays for so that he could trade.  He now trains in the mornings and trades in the afternoons.  Another great day for our Master Trader James. Hey everyone, don’t have time to do an extensive write up but wanted to share […]

Editors note: For those of you that haven’t heard from Geezy he is one of up and coming Master Traders that recently attended our annual pro trader’s seminar in Tampa, Fl. WHO can possibly follow SuperMan? Nobody, but someone’s got to give it a shot so here goes. Craig Geezy here again fresh from my trip to Tampa, Florida where quite a bit of excellent information regarding using dynamic stops, trend lines, and trading psychology was passed along. Most of the traders that came spent […]

On the heels of our annual pro trader’s seminar this weekend Superman continues to dominate the market.  At the end of January Jim was able to net 20 points on three consecutive days.  He will be attending our annual seminar this year and presentation various facets of his own trading style to assist everyone else in the DTA family. Two 20 points days in a row Jan 27th 3rd 20 point day We haven’t seen Jim in quite a few years so […]

Three 20 point days in a row. Let’s allow that sink in for a second. Just to put into perspective how much a trader can gross making 20 points here is a small chart: Of course, Superman is a very advanced trader so we shouldn’t assume that we are going to make these kinds of results every day.  Maybe just 3 days in a row.  We were actually joking around earlier that he is slacking because he didn’t make the 20 points […]

I received an email from the master trader we call Superman with a chart showing he made 20 points. It wasn’t surprising that he actually made 20 points by noon but the fact that he said “I’m going to take the afternoon off.”  This was surprising to me as “taking the afternoon off” are not words normally spoken by the man that loves day trading as much as he loves to fight fires. The retired firefighter is one of the rare traders […]

Editors note: One of the things I love most about our traders is the amount of unforgiving courage they always show. It wasn’t enough that one of our master traders Craig, code name Geezy, make money the after Christmas. No sir. He also was able to make well over 2 points on the lowest volume day of the year. This speaks volumes to the ability of our traders to be able to read the market no matter the condition.  Another one of […]
