Presentation Discussion: Many pit traders are continuously in long or short positions much of their day, ‘Always-In’.  On the other hand electronic day traders often spend much of their day out of the market waiting and watching for that ‘right and valid’ entry to a ‘high probability’ trade that will hopefully be one of the more profitable ones.  Three years ago Bill asked himself the question, can a pit trader style, Always-In, rule based, daytrading methodology be developed that will ensure being ‘in’ when the profitable trades occur, especially the highly profitable ones?  For this he knew he needed entry/exit rules to remain ‘in’ long or short a high percentage of the time—including routine reversals—along with effective rules for managing both the winners and losers.  

After more than 10,000 hours of development and evaluation, mostly day-in day-out real-time trade logging, simulator trading and real trading, his answer is yes.  For many months as a moderator in FuturesTalk he’s been describing Always-In features, posting trades every trading day in real or near real-time for others to evaluate, and for the past few months publishing a log of all available trades for the Russell 2000 and Euro currency futures.  This has met with high praise from FuturesTalk members.  Always-In involves the use of trading approaches regularly taught in FuturesTalk combined with uniquely added support/resistance breakout filters, the now famous pink lines, that provide the potential for both an exceptional win/loss ratio and minimal draw downs.  It is founded on a principle, an assertion, and a belief system, all interrelated and built into a trading plan.  

The principle is that no matter what filters you use for entries in rule-based daytrading, you must ‘catch’ some highly profitable trades to significantly offset your losers and to do so you must enter a ‘sufficient’ number of trades—accepted by most traders but almost never taken to the limit of Always-In.  The assertion is that the accepted mantra of ‘letting winners run and keeping losers small’ requires a definitive, easy to apply trade/money management scheme that overcomes any sabotaging effects of ‘trader psychology’—advocated by most traders but seldom set forth in any detail, the Always-In work-in-progress scheme is central for optimizing win/loss.  The belief system is the very heart of a trading methodology—a major differentiator of traders largely ignored or ill-defined but not so in this methodology.  From these foundations a complete methodology evolved with trading tools defined along with rules and guidelines for their use in trade entries, exits and management all of which constitute the core elements of the Always-In trading plan.

Presentation Discussion: Are you using too many indicators and not getting enough results? Come to this presentation and learn how a logic-based system for the eMini uses price levels and scenarios to capture major intraday market moves. Mr. Zimmerman will show you how this very different system evolved and how it can work for serious active traders. This is a relatively simple concept, and it can produce excellent results when used correctly.  

Jeremiel Zimmerman, the author of the system, has been a featured guest on Jerry Johnson’s Commodity Futures Magazine in the television program. He's been teaching the Ammo Trading system to investors for years and is now willing to share his methodology development work with us.  

Here are a few comments from his followers:
"There is so much wisdom behind all that you give.  Obviously it illuminates the market that it is designed for.  But you transmit so much that transcends that specific market." gf

Presentation Discussion: Finally, a career floor trader who's made it, wants to teach us! Scott Kohl discusses the use and interpretation of various charts, along with how to incorporate economic reports with technical aspects of the market. He speaks about previous markets, trends and the psychology of trading, and how to apply timing and discipline to trading. Scott Kohl is a full member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange [CME] and also owns a membership on the CME Index and Option Market.  He’s been around traders and the business of trading since he was a child.  In 1984 after studying at Indiana University, he became a trader at age 21 where he spent nineteen years in the S&P pit with a three-year stint in the NASDAQ 100. At the “Merc” he sat on many committees up to and including the Equity Index Committee, which helped create our current NASDAQ and RUSSELL products.  While his greatest expertise is equity futures, he’s quite active in many other markets.  During his tenure on the floor, he commentated many times for the “Merc” on CNBC, CNN, and Bloomberg. 

But his greatest love is his success in training several young traders.  While he’s fascinated by new trading systems and innovative software technology, he prefers to focus on individual and mass psychology of the market.  After all, markets just go up and down; it’s people that jump around every which way.  He uses his methodology to help traders find their individual voice in the market.  Specifically, he guides students toward deciding which market and which technical or fundamental studies best suit their personality.  While trading is still his primary occupation and love, he’s discovered in his 20+ years of trading that he truly enjoys sharing experience and knowledge of the markets with others to produce wisdom in their trading lives. 

The Market and trading has awarded him a wonderfully privileged life.  This life is not for everyone; however, for those few interested and capable, he strives to share what he can with these few good people who really want to learn.  This is why he’s chosen education as his next focus in our industry. While Scott's name is not as well known as Bollinger, Busby, Pring or Rashke, his credential of having been spawned from the floor add tremendously toward his value in the industry of trader education. 

Presentation Discussion: Larry Pesavento, a 40 year trading veteran, discusses his pattern recognition swing trading methodology. This presentation focuses on actual trades that he'll search for in the coming week in futures, stocks, stock indices and ForeX. In addition, he points to the unusual pattern unfolding in one of the more popular trading vehicles in the world. This situation deserves everyone's attention. It may not work, but it is everything a pattern recognition trader can expect. Larry discusses his own personal trading plan and how he develops the mental preparation of his trading each day using a simple 5 minute “mantra.”

Presentation Discussion: As a free gift, I will give my first Trading Course to everyone who personally attends this session. I invest and trade for one reason: to make money. I'm not interested in theories, speculations, or fancy gimmicks. The financial markets are filled with information overload! Some of the information is good, some of it is bad, but there's only one thing I care about: Will it make money? That may sound cold, but I have a family that depends on me to provide food, clothing and shelter so I don't have the luxury of being distracted by anything that isn't going to provide a straight line to profits. In this seminar I will share with you the no-nonsense approach I finally developed after 5 years of searching. Like any good business, it is simple and straight forward.

No fancy programs, software or expensive hi-tech tools are needed. Most importantly, it is a very low risk strategy that allows you to "risk a dime to make a dollar" and even find the "home runs" without striking out. I use this same robust methodology for my long-term stock investments, my option trades and also my stock and future day trades. Many charting examples will also be provided to demonstrate how to put the trades into play. If you're interested in a very practical "how to make money" presentation, then this is it! Recently given at the DayTraders USA meeting in Orange County, many heralded the presentation as one of the best given in the clubs history. They found it so valuable that they invited me back to do a 5 Session Course at Orange Coast College. Join me for this practical presentation and discover what took me 5 years to find.

Bernie Mitchell’s Fibonacci 
Impulse Wave Strategies

Presentation Discussion:  Bernie Mitchell decided he was going to make a living trading the markets back in 1980, when he sold a lucrative advertising business he owned on Madison Avenue in New York, making a commitment to follow his dream, to trade the markets full time.  For several years earlier, Bernie was a losing trader.   He didn’t have the guidance of a trading plan that is vital to successful trading.  During these early years, Bernie attended seminars given by the market gurus of the time, Larry Williams, Welles Wilder and others, spending thousands, that were packed more with theory than practical application.  Bernie wanted a precise course of action that would be consistent in generating profits.  The decoding of the Impulse Wave Pattern became that star, ultimately in a cast of indicators featuring his Moving Averages for trend following, and Squat Bars indicating market reversals, that would provide clear, precise action he needed.  Those developments occurred in 1992, when he migrated from end-of-day trading to active intra-day trading. 

It wasn’t long, before others persuaded Bernie to share with them what he’d learned.  Bernie discovered his passion for teaching his system almost as much as trading it himself.  And for years he spent one day a month teaching.  He believed strongly that it was unfair that many were getting rich teaching courses that lost people money.  So, he created the POKE method at an affordable price.  POKE has now evolved into the Fibonacci Impulse Strategies with the advent of his Fibonacci Clusters and Fibonacci Quatro Software to give him consistent trading accuracy between 80% and 90% month after month.  Bernie has taught over 700 traders who still drop by occasionally to proclaim their trading triumphs.

Bernie Mitchell will share with you his story and discoveries that turned his dream into a trading reality and how it can help you to be a consistently profitable trader.  Bernie’s studies have been seamlessly programmed in TradeStation and eSignal, and most recently into the TradeMaven execution platform. He still teaches his course on the Internet, one day a month on the hotComm platform.

In the fall of 1999, Bernie saw the end of the bull market in stocks, and said so in a Market Letter, he started. Since then, he has been fortunate in picking important Turning Points in the market, including the start of the gold bull market in the Summer of 2000. To make money in trading range markets, he started trading stocks, and formulated his concept of building equity in trendless markets. He calls this technique Dynamic Dollar Cost Averaging, using the same Fibonacci Impulse Wave Strategies.   Bernie's contact info:  eMail: pbsp@feargreed.com Phone: 480-393-0671

Presentation Discussion: Bob Lang is a trading mentor/coach.  Together with well-known stock/option strategist Price Headley from BigTrends, they have created an invaluable service to help investors and traders, professional and amateur alike, improve performance and results.  Bob has been trading the markets for more than fifteen years, and like most amateurs, paid his tuition through lessons learned in the trenches.  It is his desire to help his mentorees sidestep those mistakes that many investors confront on a regular basis.  He provides a peek over the shoulder approach with continuous learning and communication the keys to successful interaction.  

During the late 1990's, Bob ran pension, 401K and other funds for a billion dollar co-operative.  Through his efforts, the fund achieved sizeable returns under his watch, and consistently beat expectations.  Upon his departure, the pension fund was adequately funded and the investments appropriately diversified to weather the oncoming bear market.

The start of 2000 marked a watershed year for Bob, as he transitioned from pension fund manager to starting his own hedge fund.  Armed with investment capital from high-net worth individuals and some institutional clients, Bob achieved strong results out of the gate, earning high praise from performance-tracking firms for consistently high risk-adjusted returns.  And while this venture only lasted sixteen months, the responsibility for managing every process in the firm was an extraordinary experience. 

In 2003, the collaboration with Price Headley began with the mentoring/coaching product, and the future has never been brighter.  Bob travels quite extensively these days to many locations teaching his mentoring program to individuals and groups. 

In May 2004, Bob and Price started the GrandSlam options recommendation service.  This platform allows traders/investors to participate in high risk trading with the potential for large rewards.  We've shown tremendous progress with the product and believe that we're just tapping the well.  In 2004 the GrandSlam trading portfolio was UP nearly 1,300%!

Bob presents seminars on many occasions to an online audience, as well as live locations.  He has been asked to speak at several group functions.  Additionally, you might find Bob at investment tradeshows, presenting for large audiences.

Bob has an MBA and is a member of the Orange County Chapter of Investment Managers (OCSIM).

Presentation Discussion: This 2 hour presentation focuses on trades for the coming week in the S &P 500, NASDAQ 100, NYSE and ForeX markets using his swing trading pattern recognition system.
Mr. Pesavento will stress the importance of risk control and the correct mental attitude to be a successful trader. The importance of the opening price will be strongly illustrated as to how to increase successful trading.  He will describe how to use pattern recognition as a leading indicator for use in any time frame in order to reduce risk.

Mr. Pesavento will address the four areas that must be mastered by the successful trader:

     1. Knowledge of your self
     2. Knowledge of the market
     3. Understanding the principle of risk control
     4. Daily implementation of your trading plan

The structure of market geometry will be explained in the context of pattern recognition system he has used for the past 30 years.  Attendees hear first hand how the seemingly chaotic nature of markets can be used to the non random patterns present in the markets each day.

Presentation Discussion:  The Pristine Method® is a unique, objective, systematic, technical approach to trading supply and demand imbalances through color-coded candlesticks and volume on multiple time frames.  Investors are bombarded with news events about publicly traded companies throughout the trading day.  The efficient market hypothesis believes that stocks are priced efficiently and thus instantly reflect economic information and company news.  News is often already incorporated into the stock price; however, the charts often leave clues as to when news is on the way.  How is a trader to assess the news, whether good or bad – whether to take a long or short position?

This seminar will teach you how to "think" like a professional when a particular news item scrolls across your screen.  We teach our traders to trade people – to trade traders’ perceptions to the news and the public’s feelings of greed and fear -- not the news item itself.  We will demonstrate an objective process of how various company news events merely are an additional means to direct our attention to the charts to see if a tradable opportunity exists – whether with the stock in the news, a competitor, or an affected company.  Among other topics, we will show you how to analyze and determine opportunity with the following news events:  bankruptcy; developments involving biotechnology companies; buyouts and spin-offs; changes by debt rating agencies & auditor reports, disasters and sabotage; earnings and dividends; illegal activity, fines and governmental investigations; layoffs, strikes and management changes; products, pricing, recalls, and advertising; comments by public news sources and analyst rating changes; affect of huge short interest; stock splits, and more.

Presentation Discussion: With chart comparisons Ray demonstrates how, not only the chart of the product you're watching gives you information on your trade, but how other product's charts relate and how to use this relation to aid in making your trades.

Presentation Discussion:  After working with Fibonacci numbers for more than 20 years, Bernie Mitchell has vastly improved the usual techniques for computing retracement levels.  Standard Fibonacci Levels left a lot to be desired. His technique of using multiple swings to pin point Support/Resistance solves the problem by providing a high probability of stopping a market advance (resistance) and halting a market decline (support). This improvement is so significant that a trader, with other tools at his disposal, can make effective use of these natural numbers.

Bernie's use of Fibonacci Clusters will determine support and resistance in the direction of the main trend (which is always determined by prices either above or below the long-term moving average) — it is what he calls his "Main 89 Line." Most charting packages will enable you to create a simple 89-period moving average. Bernie encourages you to look at the market this way.

What are Fibonacci Clusters and how are they different in calculating support and resistance than the standard ratios with which most traders are familiar? Simply put, Fibonacci Clusters are more accurate because of the use of more data points and the way the Fibonacci ratios are calculated. He includes as many as seven swing highs and swing lows in addition to the significant high points and significant low points in the calculations.

During this 2-hour presentation Bernie will go into great detail teaching us how this process works.  One thing about Bernie... he never lets moss grow under his tree... always trying to improve his techniques to raise the bar for traders to trade even better than the year before.  The two links below provide previews of what Bernie will share with us in his presentation.

Presentation Discussion 1 of 2: The session describes the “$10 Gold Channel Strategy” developed by Tom Loge'. He takes us through CBOT's launch of the Electronic Gold contract and to gain an understanding of how his strategy together with the new electronic market are a dynamic “match made in heaven” …well, Chicago anyway.  Tom is one of the founding partners of Support and Resistance dot com. A 20+ year veteran of commodities markets trading, Tom has managed over $300,000,000 in hedging programs, and was a broker for 10 years before devoting full time to trading.  Now he shares his successful trading strategies, controversial risk and money management thinking with us as he does his daily for his subscribers' trade commentary.
