Q. What makes this training different?

A. The focus is on two things:

1. Trading Well. Once you understand how we identify what I refer to as "TradeWorthy" Tops and Bottoms, you will learn how to enter and exit trades with precision.

I DO Trade daily. I DO put real money in the markets. I HAVE tested techniques that worked and did not work with my own capital for years. This is not textbook stuff, but battle tested results created through trial and error, years of strategies testing, and of course, real-life experience. When you apply this information, you will begin to feel like you are trading differently: more professionally, less emotional and more accurate in predictions.

2. You will trade more decisively because you will know to accept high probability trades with small relative risk.

This is what you need to realize, some programs teach to make you “smart”, I teach to make you money. Our training will help you think less like a scientist, and more like a Professional Speculator.

Q. Who benefits most from this training?

A. Traders who are experiencing poor to average trading results, and looking for a breakthrough -- a straightforward way to plan out their trades and are ready to begin operating their trading practice more like a business. If you are not making the money you hoped to make, there are only a few reasons or obstacles! The great news is that there is no obstacle that can't be overcome as a trader if you have the right approach and process and that's what this training gives you.

Q. Is this training for traders and investors who use technical analysis as their primary methods?

A. YES. However, if you do not use technical analysis and want to learn how to compliment your current analysis methods, our training will give you exactly what you need! Charts are only half the picture, but that half is worthless if you are not applying the right techniques. If you already use technical analysis, the training will supercharge your techniques because it will focus on the most important facet of technical analysis -- supply & demand -- then build around it.

Q. What if I trade the FOREX Only? Futures Only? Stocks Only?

A. It makes no difference what you trade as long as it can be plotted on your charting package and you can apply indicators. We do recommend, however, that you are trading major futures contracts, FOREX pairs or actively traded stocks and options. We focus on the supply and demand factors that cause your trading instruments to continue moving, stop moving, or reverse.

Q. What if I trade the FOREX AND Futures AND Stocks?

A. If you trade several different instruments and asset classes, you will benefit immensely! DVD disc 4 covers portfolio strategies and addresses important considerations when mixing assets in your portfolio. We also discuss why most of the teaching available only looks at "account trading" and how that inadvertently sabotages your success by limiting your scope!

Q. What time frames do your Methods work on?

A. We will teach you four different methods; of the four, one can only be used with the daily or weekly time frame; the other three are effective whether you trade using a 1-minute chart, or 200-minute, and of course, the daily & weekly charts. All methods include a checklist. The real-time examples, naturally, are done on intraday charts.

Q. Do you talk about Non-Chart-Related Topics?

A. Yes. As mentioned earlier, charts are only part of the story. The technical charting examples and checklists are enough to elevate your trading results. But, great speculators combine the factors that affect and measure supply and demand. This will help you understand how to hook the whales... the big moves that can make the difference between a good year, and a great year. You will understand that the chart may be a great vehicle, but supply & demand is the highway it's driven on.

Q. Do you Guarantee Your Training?

A. Yes. If you go through the training in its entirety; use the checklists, and are making less money than you were before your purchase we will refund 100% of your investment and free shipping. Simply show us your before and after results and the checklists you used, and you will receive your refund within 3 business days of confirmation. If your current methods outperform ours, we don't deserve your money.

Q. Is this a plug-n-play software program or robot?

A. Absolutely not. If you are looking for a quick fix, we simply don't have it. Think about it -- what would be more valuable? A $150 software program that promises the world that won't deliver the world? Or a training arsenal that will help you to think, plan, trade and profit like a professional speculator? Anyone can create a back test that suckers people into buying a "widget". If that's what you're looking for, this isn't it! Do you think George Soros, Warren Buffet, or the guys at the Institutional Trading Desk of Goldman Sachs use a $150 robot?

Q. How long will it take me to go through the training?

A. Your learning curve will depend on your current knowledge level of technical analysis. If you are new to trading, you will want to go through the training DVDs a few times before trading real money. If you have been trading for at least one year, you should be able to go through the training between 3-5 days. I suggest you practice using the checklist with a practice account before trading with actual equity. Then, I recommend you begin with small positions until the habit of using these checklists develop -- that will happen quickly after you see how they keep you out of "iffy" trades, and put you in high probability trades. The training is done step-by-step so that you won't begin trading until you have it down pact! The more you review the examples and strategies, and the more you practice with the trade checklists, the more likely you are to develop the habits and before you know it you will be trading with consistent discipline --- like a professional speculator.

Q. How soon should I wait to start using the techniques and checklists?

A. Once you have completed the training you should first practice using the trade checklist several times on your FOREX pair, futures contract(s), Stocks or ETFs -- It won't take you long to get the hang of it since the checklist is right there for you for every strategy. After it "clicks" with simulated trades, you should go live and start making money!

Q. How soon can I expect to start seeing profits?

A. Once you have completed the training your trading results should improve immediately, as long as you follow each method. Don't worry; each trading strategy is laid out in a simple, easy-to-follow checklist!

Q. Can I apply these methods to my 401(k) or IRA?

A. YES, IF... The "IF" depends on how your 401(k) assets are invested (e.g. mutual funds, stocks, ETFs). If you can chart them, these methods can help you design an excellent, professional long-term strategy to minimize losses, identify opportunities and plot profit objectives! Actually, there is a module that combines an indicator used by large institutional money managers that you could use to allocate a kick-butt portfolio for you 401(k), IRA, or other investment account. For long term investors seeking to multiply their 401(k) or IRA, these tools can help protect you against catastrophic losses, and identify long term moves.

Q. What kind of support can I expect to receive?

A. The quickest way to get answers to your questions is through email. If you have specific questions that can't be answered via email we will provide answers via telephone or video conference. Although once you've gone through the training you should be able to work effortlessly through your trade setup checklist. Remember, the training was designed to equip and empower you and take you to a level where you could easily teach another trader how to trade like a pro!

Q. If I am a Broker, RIA (Registered Investment Adviser) or Money Manager, can this benefit me?

A. YES, YES and YES! If you are any of the above, you can improve and build upon what you're doing with the techniques in this training. This training is my playbook that was developed by strategies other professional traders and money managers shared with me. If your trading or investing has hit a plateau, you may want to consider the private, customized training -- but don't wait too long. I will only hold five in 2009. If you are an open minded investment professional and are ready to stop defending what doesn't work, the answer is YES! This training will benefit you. The techniques you will learn allow you to simplify your money management process and focus on the things that allow your practice to grow (client acquisition and building/retaining client relationships). The average broker/planner or RIA will immediately see how they can protect their clients' portfolios while staying poised to participate in opportunities as they develop. The one-on-one training would supercharge your financial services practice by 1) Creating a model for growing money that other advisers don't even consider! They're too busy trying to sound like the next guest on CNBC to actually add value to their clients. 2) Having a legitimate game plan that they can communicate to their clients, giving those investors a sense that you're actually managing their money... not just telling them to "hang in there for the long term".

Q. Do I need special software to use your system?

A. As long as you have a trading/charting package that allows you to plot indicators and apply candlesticks you have everything you need. If you trade with Fibonacci or Pivot Points, and have that on your system you will love the modules on how to enhance the use of Fibs and Pivot pts.

Q. You have Four Trading Methods. Do I need to use all four to maximize the system?

A. You can use as many or as few as you want. I use all four, but some months I find myself applying only one or two, based on market conditions. You should learn all four so you can decide which technique(s) best suit your trading style, objectives and temperament.

Q. Will there be any other training available?

A. Training will be held in Miami either at our breakthrough boot camp, or private sessions. However, during 2009 I will hold training conference calls (via webinar) for owners of the training program to discuss big trading opportunities when I have identified them. There will be no charge for these unscheduled webinars. As a system owner you will receive private invitations as these webinars are scheduled.

Q. What are the Hardware and Software Requirements?

A. You will need a PC or Mac equipped with a program that plays DVDs. Depending on your DVD player, you can play the DVDs and watch the training on your television. One disc is in audio and can be played on any CD player or computer CD or MP3 player. The training DVDs can be played using QuickTime Player (MP4), Windows Media Player and RealPlayer. If you have a different DVD player on your computer the DVDs should be compatible. Otherwise you will have to download one of the above mentioned players.
