As I write this we are comfortably huddled inside our new day trading center in Medellin, Colombia. I can’t describe the feeling I have every time I wake up to come to the center. When traders convinced me to start teaching them to become consistent in the markets I had a grand vision. I wanted to make an impact. When the emails first came and people started to become consistently profitable I decided that we would have day trading centers around the […]

Photo Friday: First Master Trader Retreat in Cartagena Mansion Edition
Our very first Master Trader retreat has been planned to start in Cartagena. We understand that day trading is all about making money but we look at things a little differently at The Day Trading Academy (DTA). We consider everyone at DTA to be family so day trading for us isn’t so much about making money as it is about living a good lifestyle. Having a good lifestyle means spending time with family. The reason why we have been able to succeed with markets […]

Stocks have been moving well including a variety of commodities. We are looking at a variety of stocks this week and some of our stocks from last week are still surging.

Stock Watchlist For This Week
So far we have had good results with our stock watchlists. I know that many of you have been asking for direction in terms of how we pick our stocks. We also have a set number of trade setups that we look for in stocks. Since day trading E-minis is more advantageous as they are higher leveraged we also look for swing positions for stocks. That way it is much less work as we don’t have to research every single day the […]

Introducing Shamir Nazaraly – The Market Beast
Day-trading the futures markets is more than a career for us here at the Day-Trading Academy. It is a passion and a lifestyle. That being said, virtually all traders encounter significant hardship on their journey to consistent profitability. Showing up every day to take decisions with hard-earned money on the line in an environment that is fundamentally uncertain and ever changing is not easy. Day-trading is a performance activity and as such the most efficient path to mastery requires the guidance of […]
