Full write up coming shortly after our review class in about an hour: Here are the areas that we were looking for (in circles) and how the market reached them so far. If the market continues further we will be looking for another area at roughly 1542/1543. Here is a video of what our live market class was like this morning:

Meet The Man That Won The Free Training Contest & Will Get 1-on-1 Training In Jordan
Everyone always asks us well why are you teaching people if you are able to do so well making a living day trading? We have the kind of culture around the world that if something works we should keep it from each other. It is understandable because most traders make money in the markets by exploiting an edge. An edge that can quickly disappear if everyone in the world starts using it. Global investors are no different. This concept has been passed […]
May 4th Recap: Over $3,000 on 1 hour of trading (Live Trading Video)
We were finally able to get the sound working on today’s recap, sadly the sound on the March 1st video won’t be possible. Today is really an example of what is possible when a trader reaches a certain level of consistency in the markets. Trading for roughly an hour a day we were able to extract over 6 points with just one single trend. We always assume 10 contracts being traded as that is the magic number for everyone so that would […]
Meet Mark: The Incredible Trader That Just Made $8,000 His First Day Live
We have shared a success story in quite some time and the best way to get things started is with a party. We would like to formally introduce Mark, the man who made $8000 his first day trading live. What we want you to take from the story is that he has only been trading futures for two weeks and barely attended any live classes. Over the course of teaching traders for nearly 8 years and being in the day trading industry […]
March 1st Recap: $2700 – Live Trading Video (Now Updated Student Charts)
This week has been nothing short of fantastic. The market is continuing to move at a frantic pace. Great runs and retracements and the volume is the best that it has been in over a year. We have not seen this kind of volume and movement on consecutive days for quite sometime (over a year). There were some amazing announcements as well, three different traders went live this week. I have asked all of them to give me a full write up of how […]
LTD Project March 1st Recap ES (Live Video): 2 ticks on 3 trades
I think the worst part of a losing day like yesterday is the anticipation of having to wait so long to get back in the market to get a fresh start. Come to think of it, weekends are kinda the same way for me now. It’s ironic that when I was working a construction job that I hated, I couldn’t wait for the weekend, and when it came, in the back of my mind I was always dreading the fact that it […]
LTD Project March 1st Recap 6E (Live Video): +10 ticks on 4 trades
Our first attempt at recording our trades for the day wasn’t the best.Fortunately the audio for the video was corrupted and wasn’t available. We still were able to record the entire session for both the 6E markets in addition to the ES. Many of our traders have started to look at other markets including the 6E, crude, gold, and even the Russell 2000. As part of our ongoing efforts to help everyone make a living day trading we plan on starting to […]
Feb 28th Recap: So You Think Traders Don’t Lose Money?
That sadly is not the case. February 28th was one of those days where the market just didn’t want to behave itself. In a period of time were volatility and volume have spiked the movement we have seen in the market over the last week and a half has been near perfect. February 28th definitely spoiled the party, in the morning session anyway. When we try to quantify results we only include all valid trades in the morning session. The afternoon moved […]
Jonathan's Feb 27th Recap: 2 pts on 1 Trade
This morning I didn’t trade in the 6E market, because as I previously mentioned, I was advised to stay out of that market during any news, of any kind, that is expected to affect the Euro. Todays news was supposed to be an exceptionally high-impact bond auction, which took place over an undetermined amount of time, and had no official “starting” time we could use as a reference. (Forex Factory listed the time as “tentative.”) So with no idea of when it […]
Feb 27th Recap: 23.25 Points – Over $11,000 Even A Cave Man Could Do It.
Could a trader really have made over $11,000? In all honesty that is really subjective. One of the things that we try to do at the Day Trading Academy is try to have an objective way to look at the results. To give you an example, the beginner results that we post on the site are only trades between 9:30 AM Eastern and 1 PM Eastern. Our morning session. . They also only include trades that are valid as per the rules […]
