• How To Find Which Markets To Trade:  
  This may seem easy, but in reality it’s one of the more difficult parts of trading. If you are in the wrong markets, you will probably not make any profits and will most likely lose money. First and foremost, you MUST be trading the right markets. 
   
• How Much Of Your Account Should You Be Trading?
  Proper money management is critical. Most professional traders will tell you that this is the MOST important part of trading. Without good money management techniques, you might as well just throw your money away.  
   
• Catching The Trend:
  This sounds easy doesn’t it? Well, it isn’t, and if you are entering the market on the wrong side of the trend, it can really hurt. Learn how to tell which way the trend is going, when to get in, and when to get out.
   
• Identifying Patterns Quickly: 
  Have you ever found yourself trading, just to be trading? Well, you won’t last long doing this, I promise. You have to have a good reason to trade a contract, along with a good plan, or you should not be trading it at all. Chart Patterns are one of the tried and true methods of trading profitably. You MUST be able to wait for a correct pattern to develop. But this is just part of it.
   
• The Key Indicators:
  Which indicators do you use? Are they the right ones? Come and find out which indicators work best and why. If you don’t know how to trade using the indicators as a tool, either you are not trading much, or you probably aren’t making much. Indicators are some of the most important tools a trader has.
   
• Using Patterns Along With The Proper Indicators:
  Once you have identified a Pattern, do the Indicators line up and give you the same signal? You must learn to use Chart Patterns and Indicators as a confirmation tool.
   
• Calculating Risk / Reward Ratios:
  Know which market you want to enter is only the first step. Next you MUST figure out your Risk / Reward ratios. You have to know when to get in, when to get out if the market goes against you, when to ad on and when to take a profit. If you are not doing this correctly, you will not make money in the markets.
   
• Entering The Market:
  Sounds easy doesn’t it? Well it’s an important part of trading and if you don’t get in at the right time, and at the right price, it could mean the difference in making money and losing money on the trade. Also, entering at the correct price is one of the major differences between profitable traders and unprofitable traders.
   
• Cutting Losses and Adding To Your Winners:  
  To make money in the markets, I think everyone will agree that you have to cut your losses and add to your winners. How you do this is the issue. Learn first hand when to get out of a market with small losses or how to stay in the markets and add profitably to you winners. This may very well be the most important thing you learn during these two days

• OPTIONS - I will be covering some of the material in my new options course Common Sense Options. We will cover option basics, advanced strategies, buying options, selling options, using options with futures, using options to protect profits and a whole lot more. This is all new and I have never shown this at any of my previous seminars. I guarantee that you will be absolutely thrilled with these option techniques.  
   
• Putting It All Together:
  Now that you have gone through all this, it’s time to put it all together with both futures and options. I tell everyone that trading is like putting a puzzle together. Each piece correctly put in place helps one see the overall “big picture” better. Once you see the big picture, you should be well on your way to being a successful trader.  
   
• In General
  I know that there are a lot of seminars to choose from and I’m sure there are some other good ones you could attend. Heck, there are even some seminars that I would like to attend with you!
   
• The question is, why come to this one?
  Of course, this is a decision that only you can or should make; I can’t do it for you. I can tell you that I’ve been to some seminars that aren’t worth the gas I used to drive across town to get to, while others were pretty good but certainly weren’t for everyone. I was even lost about what they were talking about in some of them, and I consider myself fairly astute in this area.  

I can tell you that my seminars are about as close to one-on-one training as you will probably ever see; at least I try and make them that way. The whole seminar is done “live” using Gecko Charts.

I know that some people that do seminars used “canned” charts. You know, charts that they know beforehand what’s going to happen, and then they apply their techniques to them and they look like a hero. To me that’s not being real honest, but it’s done all the time.

The trading that I will do at the seminar is not “canned” and the class picks the contracts and I trade them. These are charts from any dates in the past, not just current charts. This way, I don't know what the markets did and can't "cheat" because I knew what the market was going to do. I make money on some and lose money on some, but I've always been able to make a good deal more than I lost. To me, this is putting it on the line. I've always done it this way, and I always will. Of course, since the markets are not open on the weekends, these trades can't be made in real-time, so they aren't actual trades being placed during the seminar. But, it's the closest thing I can do to show you how to trade when the markets are open.

After I’ve shown everyone how I think you should trade, then it’s your turn. Each student gets a chance (if you want to) to come to the front of the class and show everyone else how much they’ve learned by doing some “live” trades like I was doing. I think this is the most fun part of the seminar.

I know there are seminars that are being put on that allow 200 to 300 people to attend. Talking about just being a number! I don’t see how anyone would consider paying good money to go to these but I guess they do. I limit my seminars to a maximum of 15 people. That’s right, 15!

It’s more of a workshop environment than a seminar. Have a question? It gets answered before you leave. Have questions after the seminar? Just pick up the phone and call me.

Hopefully, you will be able to attend one of my seminars. I know that you will enjoy it if you come. I’ve tried to make it affordable for the students, yet make it worthwhile for me to do. The total cost of the seminar is just $800 for both days. If you have attended a seminar in the past and want to attend another one, the cost is only $400. *Payment Terms are available.

You can pay for it with credit card by clicking the appropriate link in the box below; or with a check or money order by sending it to me at the address at the bottom.

*Every time I do a seminar, I have someone who asks if they can make payments, so I guess I might as well address that now. Yep! Just click the appropriate link in the box on the order page and you can sign up to have your credit card billed monthly at $200 per month.
