Reflecting on Success, Day Trading, And Freedom
It is quite surreal to return to the city where everything started. By everything I mean leaving a certified paycheck that I would receive two times a month and the decision to quit in order to start a new nomadic lifestyle.

Last night was no different as we had six new traders sign […]
How Master Traders Start Their Day On Friday's
Day Trading in Vancouver, Canada never felt so good. When a trader is able to make consistent returns in the markets Friday’s are officially considered (whisper voice) “vacation days”. This of course is the reason why we consider only 200 trading days a year instead of the official 245.

The Great Graduate Master Trader Tour
The Day Trading Academy Blog presents the Great Graduate Master Trader Tour! A few years ago if someone would have told us that we would be teaching traders again we would not have believed it.

Ice man makes some Norwegian Kroner! Hey everyone! Today I got held up at hockey practice but by the time I came home, I was able to pick up some nice clues from the first hour of the market.
