New Happenings at Learn to Trade and Invest

I am happy to announce that the Day Trading Mentoring Program has become one of the most popular options in our lineup of e-mini training products. I have to admit I am probably the most surprised at this turn of events, though I think mentoring is one of the best ways to hone your trading skills and vastly improve your trading outcomes.

So far, I have been able to personally handle all the mentoring responsibilities, which has allowed me to get to know several of our traders personally. This aspect of my job has been most enjoyable, as the individuals I have worked with have progressed nicely in their trading styles and subsequent results. I take great pleasure in watching traders improve. It is also a real pleasure getting to know, at a personal level, the members of our trading community.

The program is relatively inexpensive compared to comparable programs of a similar nature. Most of the mentoring programs that I have seen advertised cost between $5,000 and $10,000. Personally, I think that is a phenomenal amount of money for a mentoring program. We are currently charging $1,200, which seems in line with what most beginning traders can afford.

Finally, we have received some wonderfully positive feedback from the individuals who have been involved in the mentoring program, and for me the kind words are very fulfilling and heartwarming. It’s great to hear that we are having a positive effect on people’s lives.

As you may have noticed in last night’s video, I am recommending using the Infinity Futures trading platform along with the Ensign charting software package. I have looked at a number of different combinations of both platforms and charting packages with an eye for the best feature set at an affordable price. After trading the last week with Infinity and Ensign I feel very comfortable in recommending these two products as both affordable and very capable of performing the functions that we require.

I think it’s important to know that I do not have a financial relationship with either firm, and chose these two programs based upon the merits of the product and no financial considerations. It is against most regulations for an educator to accept financial remuneration for product recommendations.

I highly recommend contacting Josh Alexander at Infinity, as he is probably one of the most helpful brokers I have come across. I have known Josh for several years and he has, without fail, always been most helpful and is willing to go the extra mile for his clients. With Ensign, I have found their technical support of the highest quality and they are one of the few charting companies that provide telephone-based technical support.

  • Completion of the Trendline Article Series January 1, 2012
    First and foremost, I would like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year.  This is a time when many people, including traders, re-dedicate themselves to the passions in their lives.  For me, it has always been trading and I look forward to a New Year and trading e-mini contracts. To a certain degree, […]
  • E-mini Trading Professor: Sunday Night Briefing (12-4-11) December 5, 2011
    The television “talking heads” are all over the map in their discussions as to what the coming week holds for our economy.  The usual discussions concerning the job market (improving), federal budget (weakening), and consumer sentiment (improving) have dominated the prognosticators predictions. Here is a synopsis of what to expect for next week: DATE REPORT […]
  • E-mini Trading Always Provides a Painful Dose of Humility November 8, 2011
    I have been on a relatively hot streak in my e-mini trading the last couple of months and my returns have been impressive by any standard.  Frankly, I have been feeling pretty good about my trading ability and consistently.  I was pretty cocky about my trading results, perhaps verging on arrogant. I had let a […]
  • E-mini Trading: Why do Clients Enroll in a New Course and Put Forth Little Effort? October 15, 2011
    One of the most unusual and disturbing phenomena I observe on a daily basis is the abysmal effort put forth by a small group of new e-mini traders in learning to trade. It is not unusual to have students enroll and then come to the trading room and try to share the dynamics of the previous course they had taken and blown out a futures trading account. […]
  • 3 Important Things New E-mini Traders Can do to Succeed September 27, 2011
    The failure rate of new e-mini traders is disturbing.  According to various sources, 90% of all new traders are out of the market within 3 months, their trading account balances exhausted. There can be little doubt that e-mini trading presents a challenging skill set to learn and execute, but there are a number of factors […]
  • E-Mini Trading: Do Your Stop/Loss Points Get You in Over Your Head? September 17, 2011
    There is a tendency among traders, both new and experienced, to overestimate their predictive abilities as they relate to e-mini futures contracts. Over trading and trading too many contracts are common characteristics of the hard charging e-mini trader; but their exuberance might be put to better use if they held off a few years and […]
  • E-Mini Trading: The Difference between the 90% and 50% Failure Rate September 14, 2011
    In my e-mini trading room I get to see a variety of new and experienced students trade their accounts.  Oddly enough, experienced students who are looking for an e-mini trade room usually meet with the least success.  When I speak with these students, I often find that they have taken numerous trading courses with minimal […]
