Dear Prospective Member:
|
I want to thank you for taking the time to look over my website and
consider my services. Before you read any further I want to make
something very clear right away. Yes I do trade. I use the data and
strategies provided to members of this web-site. However, trading
futures is not my only source of income. I also invest in and own
real estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and money market funds.
I trade the electronic stock indices (emini S&P) intra-day (day-trade)
too. I also own and invest in raw bullion (Gold, Silver, Platinum,
Palladium) as well as rare coins. I am a member of the American
Numismatic Association (ANA #R-204923).
I run all of my personal finances as one big business. But in
addition to this, I have also have been involved with several
additional businesses down through the years. As a rule of thumb,
I only stay involved in businesses that provide a profit and/or
have the potential to provide a profit. Providing access to my
trading systems and my trading experience through this web site
earns me a profit too, as it should based on the work I do here
as well as the many years of research (countless hours of late
night programming). I provide valuable advice, assistance and
mentorship (leadership) to individual investors and independent
traders all around the world! What I provide is NOT free! But as
I mentioned above, everything I do involving finances I manage as a
business. That obviously includes providing access to my programs
and proprietary data via this site! And if it were not profitable
for me to do this, I simply would not do it. I am being honest
with you here! Refreshing isn't it! But I will also tell you
this (honestly) as well - I believe in my heart that the proprietary
statistical data and indicators I provide here, on this site, are
among the most powerful in the world! For example, click on the
link below to see my brokerage statement showing the final profit
(out of multiple contracts I purchased) in the 2003 Soybean IMPA
buy setup. I entered this IMPA buy setup using call options and
posted the trade from beginning to finish in my evening reports.
I entered with everyone else (posted via my predetermined entry)
in early August 2003 and exited out of my last contract in September
using our proprietary position management methods. These methods
enabled me to capture a nearly 1000% return (turning $525 investment
into $4850 in about a month).
Click here for my broker statement.
Now that I've got that out of the way, I have one more item I want
to discuss as well!
I am often asked why I provide access to my system if I have such a
good trading system. In other words, Why don't I just trade my
system(s) myself, realizing all the rewards, rather than providing
access via this service?!? As stated above, I do trade my systems
and strategies. However, no system can guarantee profits and ALL
good systems experience losses (draw-down) as well as quiet times
when there is nothing setup to trade. Many people mistakenly believe
that there are always opportunities to make money trading. This
simply is not true! A successful trader waits for the right
conditions to setup (based on a system or method) before establishing
a position. This waiting time can vary. This is where many new
traders often make mistakes. I have learned through my own costly
mistakes that trading for the sake of trading results in nothing
but loss (in the long run). I have also learned that the markets
do not care if I need to make money today, this week or next week.
With trading, you have to wait for the opportunities. One can not
force an opportunity from the market! Sometimes there are many
opportunities with our systems, and sometimes there are none. By
providing this service in addition to my other investments (such as
stocks & real estate), I am able to secure regular stable income
while building and growing my portfolio of diversified investments!
Best of all however, I am doing what I enjoy most, every day!
And that is tracking, trading, and studying the markets! This is
my main business! There is not a day that goes by that I am not
thinking about or trading in some market some where in the world!
Through this service, I only hope that I can provide you with some
of the knowledge I have gained through my many years of experience
in tracking and trading many markets. Furthermore, my trading methods,
indicators, and charts are unique to my systems and trading
methodologies. I built these systems myself, including the indicators
and the charts that the indicators are plotted on! This is work that
I have done over the course of the past 15+ years now! These charts,
graphs and systems can only be found on this web site.

NO
TRADING SYSTEM CAN GUARANTEE PROFITS
No guarantees can be made for success. Past performance is not a
guarantee of future profits.
Futures trading is NOT our only means of income. We also invest
in stocks, real estate as well as
generate income from other businesses. We have both winning trades
and losing trades. We trade professionally, but not daily. We wait
for what we believe to be ideal trading opportunities.
