Student Trader Makes 6.5 Points First Day Live

I would like to formally introduce Paul to you, he has a unique story and came to me with the same story that most of us go through in the industry.  I spent a lot of time and money and I am getting zero results. Sadly, I have even been through it, which is one of the reasons why I started this site I wanted to share his story because he was very hesitant to start with me.  He did what any […]

Live Market Class Recap: July 10th 2012 (2+ pts to 10+ pts)

Just finished up a great live class today and realized just how hard it is to try and day trade and teach at the same time.  Its a very careful balance and one of the ways that I devised my currently risk management structure when I day trade eminis on my own. One of the themes from today was identifying momentum and learning when to be aggressive.  It is that whole idea of using a Congressive day trading system where you adapt to the momentum of […]

Today was one of those days that was exceptional for trading, not only because we could have made done well, but also because there were very important lessons which each and every single movement.  There were so many opportunities to be able to take a graceful exit and learning the art of being able to exit a trade early is one of the things that is vital to trading. I have been gone from the United States for so long and have […]

I wanted to post this video earlier but I was ravaging through the country of Peru.  There is only one more country left to travel to in South America which is Ecuador.  I remember meeting Mahad like it was yesterday, it was my very first night in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and I wanted to party like it was 1999. He showed me around the city and introduced me to some Ethiopian customs like chewing chat (click here if you […]

My emini day trading and traveling around the world has brought me to the last country I am going to live in South America, Brazil.  There is more than one goal at hand when I arrived in Brazil, it’s not only to experience the culture & people (ahem women) but also to see the possibility of opening a day trading center here.  The middle class in Brazil is exploding and the Brazilian market will soon be as big as the current market […]

I started day trading at what would be considered the dawn of a new age when it comes to day trading eminis, click here to learn about […]

May 4th Recap: Bundas & 20 Points ($10,000 Available)

That is the view from my temporary office as I write this recap.  I am in a small town in southern Brazil called Florianopolis that is known for gorgeous beaches and well, gorgeous woman.  You didn’t think I was coming here just for the beach did you? Today was the kind of day that makes traders take weeks off.  I left a lot on the table but it didn’t matter because I was still able to make close to 20 points.  For […]

May 1st Recap: There Were No Opportunities Today

I made a million bucks today, again! Yep.  That is the common adage in the day trading industry, picking and choosing the best days in order to look very good in the eyes of newbies.  Well guess what, we didn’t have any “classic opportunities” on May 1st and I am more than willing to admit it. I didn’t make a million bucks, I didn’t lost anything, I sat in front of the computer and wished the rain would stop.  It was as boring as […]
