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 […]

Dec 26th Master Trader Recap: Geezy Pulls 2.5 Pts on Lowest Volume Of The Year
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 […]
Dec 20th Master Trader Recap: Ice Man Cleans Up! 7 Pts – $3300 After Commissions
Editors Note: One of things I love about Ice Man is that he is absolutely fearless when it comes to trading. We have used his trades as examples many times in our classes. One of the most amazing things about him is that he went live during the holiday season and was able to iron out continued profits. Once we learn how to read the market we are able to easily adapt to it and make money in anything the market throws […]
Dec 19th Master Trader Recap: Ice Man Strikes Again: 3 Pts
Editors note: Ice Man continues to dominate even with his professional hockey season. Look forward to sharing his thoughts on trading when we got together in Puerto Rico earlier this year. Also, join us next week as we are going to host some live trading here in our temporary control center in Colombia. We are still getting our penthouse renovated to house the very first day trading center here in Colombia. We also have our master trader Nikolai, aka the Hit Man, […]
Master Trader Dec 16th Recap: Dr. Z Kills It With 8+ Points
Started the day right with a bowl of Cap’n Crunch and cup of coffee. With that great run to the upside I was looking to exploit it every way possible. When it pivoted high and started to test the same highs I started to expect some consolidation before a continuation. In the past I had found myself afraid of jumping in for fear that it might be a sign of slowdown but as I’ve learned you trade with the trend and with […]
Master Trader Dec 12th Recap: 4 trades, 4+ points, 40 minutes
It is a contract roll-over Thursday once again… time flies when one is having fun :-). Being a market “Hitman” is in no small part about timing and ruthlessness of execution, but the volatility this fall has been somewhat disappointing. That is why, yesterday’s movement got me almost as excited as my coming trip to Colombia! Having said that, however, I was facing the dilemma of trading a contract roll-over day or missing out on some good follow-through movement. Tricky situation, I […]
Dec 11th Recap: 10+ Total Pts ($5,500 Available) Sneak Peak into Day Trading Center in Colombia
It is an exciting day at The Day Trading Academy. We haven’t had the chance to do many updates to the site recently via our market recaps or posts because we have been diligently working on getting our first day trading center started. The vision behind the day trading centers is to have in-house traders assisting in training locals in other countries. We believe so much in our strategy that we are putting our own money on the line. We are giving […]
Oct 16th Geezy Master Trader Recap: 2.25 Pts (Giant Leap In Trading)
ONE SMALL TRADE…ONE GIANT LEAP IN TRADING FOR ME How’s it going, DTA? Geezy here. I wanted to send in a very simple chart from October 16th. The trade on it is my absolute favorite. The V1 Strike. Nicknamed “strike”, because the entry point for it is right in the strike zone where the FYL Indicator is crossing the Midband. The chart show above shows one trade for +2.25 points, but its significance to me is as big as Neil Armstrong’s footprint […]
Sept 4th Live Trading & Recap
right now in our live market analysis class we have one of our master traders, the hit man himself Nikolai, doing a one on one in Germany. Something new that we plan on introducing into the training program where we offer one on one training in a live market environment. So far we have seen a pretty strong push to the upside and are waiting for a valid setup. Looking for the market to give us a bit of a pull back […]
Sept 3rd Recap: 8 Pts in 1 hour (potential $4,000)
The video is up and we bring you a bit of insight into market behavior and recognizing it without over complicating the process. I don’t always recommend getting up late but when you do, you should make 8 points. That’s what it seemed like today anyway. It seems as though anytime we have biggest developments or changes with the Day Trading Academy there is always Ethiopian coffee or sushi involved. Last night was no different as we had six new traders sign […]
