Most people think that the best laptops for traders are top of the line machines that need to cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. The reality is that most laptops have sufficient specs in order to day trade any market around the world. We don’t need a $5,000 Laptop in order to day trade. We also don’t need a specialized computer that is custom built for this purpose either. A rule of thumb is a standard $500 computer will be more than enough […]

Celebrating $16,007 in Profits – Day Trading In Sydney
It’s time for our Master Trader retreat in Sydney! We have been hosting 8 student traders during our Military Trading event in Australia. It has been quite fun watching the markets in the early hours of the morning (we just can’t seem to get enough). Seems as if it has worked out for the best with the volatility that we have been seeing. From the reaction of the announcement from the Central Bank of Japan we saw the Japanese Yen skyrocket. Luckily, […]

Our adventure day trading in Australia has begun! There hasn’t been a recap in quite sometime and since we are currently in Australia hosting our first Military Training on the continent we felt it was time to get caught up. We have brought a handful of our Master Traders and we plan on visiting the Great Barrier Reef by setting up a stronghold in the North East near the city of Cairns. We started with a cold day in Sydney. Our Military Training is […]
A Sincere Thank You To the DTA family
Time flies doesn’t it? Looking back at another year I couldn’t help but think about all of the people that allowed us to get here. The entire DTA family; from our Master Traders, to our new traders, and everyone in between. We run things a little bit differently than most companies and that is part of the reason why we have had so much success. We rely on each other, we look to each other for help, there is no success without […]
Trader Goes Live: 60.94% in 1.5 Months – Len Shares His Story (NEW Webinar Announced)
There is nothing like hearing these stories. Len went live in the beginning of October and this isn’t just his first day live. Nor is it his first week live. Many times in this industry many trading companies share the first moment someone goes live and then you never hear from that person again. I specifically wanted to share Len’s story because he has been trading live for a month and a half. He is a conservative trader and has had 2-3 […]

Making Money In An Economic Crisis & Recession
Making money in an economic crisis is hard isn’t it? That is the common question many have directed at me over the last few years. Can I make money day trading in a recession? The truth is, things are tough out there. The global economy hasn’t recovered since the 2008 crisis. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Although the official unemployment rate is 5.5% the real number is above 10.9% if you include those that have stopped […]
Day Trader’s Lifestyle: Epic Eiffel Tower View in Paris
Our Day Trader’s Lifestyle has allowed us to reach… Paris. We have scoured the beaches of Brazil. Viewed the majestic beauty of her majesty’s Taj Mahal. Swam in the Epic Infinity Pool in Singapore. We have even (glamorously) traded on top of a freezer, tipped over sideways and on top of a ping pong table, in the remote corners of Somalia. We decided to choose something a little romantic this time. Not that these sexy guys above aren’t my type, it is just […]
One Trade at a Time…
This article is adapted from an email response by our very own Master Trader Nikolai to one of our promising pro traders. The key to trading well is to truly understand and habituate a discrete process – one trade at a time, every trade is for itself. Emotions tend to carry-over from one premise to the next (because we are human), but they create an illusion of cause-effect or correlation, when in reality, trades are discrete events… Simple fact, but counter-intuitive to our […]
