 was presenting from the day trading perspective from the stock side. So I'm gonna present to you the future side. So it's gonna be a little bit different. However, very similar and like Foster said, it's all about discipline, it's about patience and waiting for the right setup, waiting for the right orders to come in so for smooth sailing. So welcome everyone and thank you so much, Foster, for having me here today. Today I will be talking about how you too can generate a six-figure income trading institutional moves, trading the newer trading session open. I only trade two hours and done basically, I start my trading day a little bit earlier to prep and to gather on my intel for the trading session. I start trading at 9.30, so I start watching the price action move even though the futures market is a 24-hour market and I'm all wrapped up around 11.30 so I'm actually moving to my swing trading and watching my swing trades develop. All right, so let's get started. Before we continue, I would like to remind you that everything that we will be discussing today is for educational purpose only and should not be construed as investment advice regarding the purchase or sale of securities options, futures, forests or instrument of any kind. So I'm pretty sure everybody knows by now that a trading and trading, there's a really high level of risk involved and may not be suitable for all traders and investors so you have to do your homework before deciding to trade. Like Fausto mentioned, my name is Anka Metcalf and I'm the CON founder of tradeoutloud.com which is a trading education firm that is specialized in educating individuals how to day trade and swing trade the futures and the equities markets. I specialize in day trading futures for over 20 years I have been a stock day trader. I love stock day trading. However, for tax purposes and also for the lifestyle that I want to live, futures trading was much more suitable for me and I made the dive about eight years ago. I'm gonna share with you some of the areas and some of the things that drove me to the futures market. And I also swing trade stocks and I have been doing this professionally for the last 18 years that is when I quit my full-time day job. And prior to becoming a professional independent trader I come with 10 plus years in investment banking so I have been working in this industry forever since I graduated college. And I'm the designer of an institutional proprietary trading system that is based on price support resistance but there's a catch there. I'm focused on eight layers of price support resistance not only on basic supply and demand. And the reason why I am the designer and not the creator is because I cannot take credit for technical analysis. Technical analysis has been around for a very long time but I had to adapt the institutional model that I was taught and that I actually continued to trade in and adapted it for my own retail accounts. And also because we're talking about day trading I developed specific trigger times throughout the morning there are actually very few trigger times that are correlating with price action and with momentum trading that are happening in the morning session whether you're a futures trader or a stock trader you're gonna notice that price tends to have a certain behavior around in the first five minutes of course that's the price action development in the first five minutes there are even strategies that are very aggressive that can be applicable in the first five minutes. So 9.35 is one of those first trigger times and as we progress in the morning we're getting into the 9.45 so you can see that the time sequences are very tight, very short and then we're coming into 10 o'clock which is reversal time. So a lot of times institutions are dabbing into the market right in the morning and then they're looking to take partial profits into the 10 o'clock. So this sequence from 9.30 to 10 o'clock is very important because I call it as and I treat it as a golden rule because if you have a certain asset that is very strong within the first 30 minutes there's a really high chance of continuation higher above the 10 a.m. high and of course if that is in sync with the trend you're gonna have a huge blast off for higher prices and for continuation into targets and the same thing happens for reversal of the same thing happens for shorts. Also I have designed specific price it's not that I have designed them because I borrowed them these are four specific price zones in charts and especially in the futures market and the forex market as well but they're present into the equities as well and these price points are levels where institutional traders, institutional traders tend to scale in or scale out of the trades. There are only four price points. There's also chart synchronicity and divergency and any traders should take into consideration what is leading and what is lagging in terms of market internals like the Q's, the spies, the diamonds and if you're a stock trader and if you're a futures trader definitely you want to rank your indices into a leader lag or leader board because in a strong market environment you want to initiate a trade in an index or an ETF or a stock that has relative strength compared to the rest or compared to the market index for easier follow through to the upside and in a weak market environment you want to focus on a weak index that has the potential to follow through faster into targets. So this way it would not be like watching paint dry when you're getting into a trade because oftentimes traders find a trade find a set up but that's not enough because you need to find that really nice crème de la crème stock or index that has that capability to run faster into targets. And that I call instant gratification, okay? And I also have a straight set of trading rules and a 10 point scoring system that is very easy to follow. It's literally a checklist that it helps me and my traders to identify trades with these and not only that but to manage them and to exit. So we wouldn't have any surprises and literally no thinking when we're trading. That's right, no thinking when we're trading. And I specialize in high velocity moves. So what that means is that I specialize in moves that offer really great follow through for from the entry to the expected and potential targets. All right, so this is a little bit about what I do and what trade I'll out is all about. And if you guys wanna hear more about trade I'll out you can head on to our website. And if you wanna follow us on social media you can follow us on Facebook, on Twitter, YouTube or LinkedIn on Twitter, I do post a plethora of trading ideas before then they happen. So if you would like to follow me there, go right ahead. All right, so for today's presentation I have included a lot of material in here for those of you guys that are very new to the futures market or if you are already a stock day trader or swing trader I want to educate you into a futures market because like I said, I have been a stock trader for most of my life. So literally for over 20 plus, wow, even more than that. Okay, but eight years ago, like I said for tax purposes and also for simplicity I have dove into day trading. I can't really step aside from stock trading but I'm still swing trading stocks but it's like, swing trading stocks is just having something on autopilot you know exactly where your entry is you place your stop and then you could go on you have alerts into targets you could set up personal profits and you can walk away from the computer. So you are literally unchained from the computer and that's one of the reasons why I wanted to dive into the futures market. When I was day trading stocks I was literally in front of the computer all day. It was my primary income source of income and right now futures is but I was literally trading from about 930 and actually long well before that I was doing my scanning, selecting my gaps selecting continuation trades, et cetera scanning to try to find potential trades. I would do a universe about 20 stocks that I would watch and like I said I had a really strict selection criteria. So we're gonna talk also about which style of trading is best for you and of course for your lifestyle because everybody's different some of us have full-time jobs some of you guys have a part-time jobs or you have job flexibility or you work from home and you can watch the charts, et cetera and especially now with COVID I find that a lot of traders that have full-time jobs have taken trading as a side job which is terrific. We're gonna be also visiting choosing what markets to trade in case you decide to look further into futures trading and we're gonna talk about advantages of and disadvantages in the futures market and of course a question everybody wants to answer too is like how much money can you make from trading or swing trading? So I'm gonna share with you exactly we're gonna answer the last questions first to get it out of the way and of course it depends on the size of the account that you open and of course everybody's different but I wanna share with you the track record that we have from the trading room and last year we made over $162,000 by trading with one contract that's right one contract just one single contract and one full-size contract in the futures market so this is basically trading six charts primarily we trade just four charts and that is because we trade the futures indices I'm gonna share with you some charts in a second but we're trading the mini Dow, the mini S&P, mini Nasdaq and mini Russell all of these are really great strong markets and when you think of Nasdaq you could trade the Q's when you think of S&P it's like trading the Spice when you think of the Dow it's like trading the Dow and Russell so the way I came into futures trading was not only because of simplicity but it was like I said for tax purposes and at some point you get tired of doing all the work and all the pre-market work so trading definitely all day so I needed to develop a niche for myself where I would work less and actually make more money because that is the ultimate goal in trading so I found that I can maximize my buying power if I would trade, if I would trade futures but we're gonna get to that so I was mentioning the six charts why the six charts primarily like I said there are four indices and two commodities that I watch on a day-to-day basis and that is oil, gold and like I said, the indices basically I call my charts employees okay because they do all the heavy lifting I just tell them what to do I just, you know, whether I want to go long or short so they do all the work after that I do all the research for it and it's literally stress-free trading because this is what trading is all about listen, if you're trading and if you feel the heat there are multiple reasons why you feel that way or if you feel anxious number one, you're taking on too much size too much size is overwhelming and when you're trading with too much size when you're into the trade and if immediately the trade reverses and it goes against you even if you have position size you're always going to feel a heat tried reducing the size and that's going to make a huge difference in your trading and then the other thing is that when you're looking at the market look from the perspective of look through the lens of an institutional trader what would an institutional trader do at this point would it be a short, would it be a long so make sure that you're trading on the right directional bias don't try to be a counter trend trader all the time try to trade with the trend the trend is always going to punch the price into its primary direction into the higher timeframe direction today's again a perfect example for that even though we had followed through in the last three days to the downside you can see that the velocity is coming still to the upside and we're getting these afternoon bounces that have been very common since last week so last week it was like somebody's flipped the switch at one o'clock and everything has started to move these are our stats from January this year so those were the stats from last year and trading and by the way the amount of money that we made with one contract is by trading only two hours a day with one contract and if you're asking, okay so how much money do I need to trade that you would need to have about $35,000 because of the volatility now you can trade with much less than that because you can open an account in the futures market with as little as $5,000 but we're gonna get to that so these are our January results the January, the month of January was in particular spectacular because we had a phenomenal trade in silver that you can see here and where with one contract we made $18,000 now of course if you would have traded SLV you would not be anywhere near this amount and this kind of result so that's why I'm gonna share with you some of the most important things from the futures market and the reason why I love trading the futures market right now it's a very strong potent market where it maximizes your buying power and it minimizes your time in front of the market this month not over yet so we still have one full week of trading we're already at 7,355 and again the results are based on two hours trading every single trading every day Monday through Friday and with one contract so that's it so one contract if you would have joined us and if you have an account and if you would have carbon copy all my trades this is what you would have in your account right now and we do have members in the room that replicate this on a larger scale or even on a smaller scale depends on what kind of account you have all right so what do you need in order to be a futures trader well in order to be a futures trader you pretty much have to have the same requirements as for a stock trader right or a forex trader you need to have education so education is knowledge is empowerment and not only that but it provides you confidence remember I was mentioning that if you have that hot potato feeling and you feel the heat when you're in the trade well just step outside of the kitchen reduce your size but also education is going to provide you that level of confidence into trading and it's gonna take you to this whole new different level of comfort of stress-free environment and of course discipline discipline is very important discipline and patience go hand in hand because you have to have the patience to wait for a setup to happen you have to have the patience to see your you know to see the trade develop into your specific area whether you wanted to see it pull back let's say into a moving average or a support spot or whatever technicals you use but you need to have the discipline to wait for the pattern formation because if you wait for that pattern formation only then you could have a really good understanding of your entry point of where you should be placing your stop of definitely you have those two pieces of information you can go ahead and position size and then you can see your trades into targets you can calculate your targets and then lastly you can execute the trade so basically in trading more than 80% of the time it's only like watching charts and doing a lot of analysis and just waiting for the price to meet your guidance and then only 20% is execution so very little execution a lot of work and that is when you have the patience to wait for the right setups and I know there are a lot of traders out there that say hey I don't have a patience to wait for the trade I just you know I see the price running and I jump in well that's the wrong approach because think about it the next time we want to push the buy button or the sell button and think who's on the other side of the trade so those are institutional charts that are on the other side of the screen and they love to snack you for breakfast okay and the other thing is focus sometimes especially for example a day like today if you were trading futures you had a very noisy morning session so that you have to have the patience to wait until you see that particular setup to see that formation fall into place on the right at the right time and on the right at the right location so you have to make sure that you have all the parameters checked you do not have the parameters checked then guess what just don't execute the trade don't be the liquidity provider for the market and of course know how to follow directions your own directions and that's why I you know and I was like every other trader out there and I said you know what trading plan is you know it's great I have it right here in my head I know what to do trust me you don't you need to have a trading plan written and it's not gonna be a novel it's gonna be like half a page or a page it's gonna be just with one strategy that you're gonna be applying you don't need to apply a hundred different strategies in the market you need to apply just a basic buyer or basic sales start with that and then you can add on from that point on so know how to follow your own directions is very important. I trade from home and I trade an income producing style of trading and I generate any you can generate anywhere from $500 to $5,000 a day just in one trade. So we trade with institutional money flow we don't follow institutional money flow we know exactly where these inflection points are and we speculate on these inflection points you can see that we have some notations on our charts where we have bullish above spots where we have all these notations for resistance these are manual this is not an indicator we actually teach how to trace these levels in our classes and we also have all of these notations on charts before you actually log into our trading room if you decide to trade with us. So this is basically your trading plan in one chart I should say so we have the bullish above area you see that right off the open we triggered above and then we actually came through and then we tested it again and here it is finally it's kind of like stabilizing right here regaining and full force going into the first resistance and the second resistance. So you can see that the type of trades that we do they don't necessarily focus on very small moves but they focus on really big moves. So you can see here that this is about a 300 point move in Nasdaq so this is huge. Okay, so I'm gonna share with you what that means in a second. So we focus on high velocity moves for high rewards so we know a multi-time frame alignment we develop these confluence spots where institutional traders and algos may have an interest in and we actually execute the trades according to our plan. Like I said, we trade every day about 9.30 to 11.30 at 11.30 I kind of lose interest in the market for day trading. So I mostly focus on a little bit higher time frames and oftentimes we do have trades that are setting up later in the day. So basically it's two hours and done but it's up to you if you learn how to trade you could actually trade all day. And in fact for the latter part of the day you don't even need to be in front of the computer all the time because the latter half of the day in the stock market and also in the futures market you're going to see that higher time frames prevail. So there are a lot of things that are happening within the doldrum period. So the doldrum period is usually a little bit dull but not this week and not last week because that's when they flip the switch and the price started to go a little bit higher. So I deploy precise strategies at specific times and specific locations. I apply simplified management. So I have a management plan in place whenever I reach a target. So for example, if I initiate a trade let's say at a certain point for a long, for example I initiate that trade, let's say at that particular entry point that I decide to use I only use limit orders. I never use market orders. I would not say never but 99.9% of the time I use limit orders because I know exactly where my entry is and that is ahead of time. And of course that represents a bit of challenge in really rapid markets because you can actually by the time you do the analysis and when you actually go on the charts and go on your dome and try to place the trade and et cetera, you're gonna find the price that is literally flying so, so fast but there's always going to be a pullback. So no worries about that. Never chase a price. I never chase a price. So we apply a very simple management to our trades. For example, and I'm just giving you here an example for example, if you reach target one depending on your personal preference you can scale out a quarter or half or three quarters depending on your account size depending on your ultimate goal as a trader to grow your account, et cetera because after target one is hit keep in mind that there is a very strong incidence of a pullback. So there's always a pullback but again, we teach traders that if they if let's say for example, you know you have the price that is blasting over target one never put an order to kill the trade there or kill part of the trade right there. Now just let the price run and then put the stop underneath where your target one is because you may actually try to chunk up a little bit more of the profits on its way up. And then if it pulls back to your target one spot and if it doesn't really create the price it doesn't create the flow and the follow through for higher then you're gonna be trailed out at the price that you were originally gonna be trailed out. So there's some little tweaks that you can maximize your profits from trailing. So this is a simplified management because let's face it, you have a trade you have your entry, you have your stop you place your order or your triggers you place your hard stop you just have to wait until the trade reaches target one. A lot of times a lot of new traders are making the mistake and saying, hey, you know what I'm bored I'm gonna take the profits here oh my God it's pulling back a little bit I'm gonna put my stop and break even unless you reach target one you should have like this golden rule that is written right in that trading plan if you worries that is right in front of you that says, hey, you know what? I'm not going to touch the trade until it reaches target one, okay? And that is gonna enforce discipline. So you do this today you do this tomorrow it's gonna really get into you're really gonna get into your system. So I'm pretty sure you know by now that trading is there is no average in trading in trading you're either great or her loser and that's a fact that's a reality. So you have to strive to be great not chase trades and go for those really great identifiable patterns. All right, so what to treat if you're a futures trader? Well, I only focus on the foreign indices that you guys see here is on the Dow, the S&P Nasdaq and Russell that's where I focus on this is my whole trading universe. So guys, it's really hard to miss a trade if you're only watching for charts, trust me and it's really, really trading simplified. I also watch other markets like the energy markets like crude oil gasoline, heating oil and especially these were very, very strong as we had the events with the snow events. So all of these commodities that you guys see here even bonds those for me represent swing trading opportunities. They represent swing trading opportunities and I do love to swing trade them and especially now that oil has become more and more swingable and we did have a trade in oil that you could see in our portfolio. And by the way, if you want to see the full portfolio we could go ahead and share it with you. If you want to see the full portfolio we could go to our website. We have portfolio from last year, from the year before that and before that and before that. So you can go there, we have several tabs at the bottom go to our, I'm going to show you where to go later but you could go to our website and just click on the service tab and if you click on the service tab scroll just click on the futures day trading room and then scroll to the very bottom have a green button click on that it drives you to the portfolio. So you can see all the good, the bad everything all the record of all our trades. All right, so this is actually from today. I took this image today and I actually posted I did a little post on Twitter if you're not following me or handle us trade out loud. These are 30 minute charts I try to navigate though I'm a day trader I try to navigate a little bit away from the noise from the really small time frames one, two minute, five minute and I do trade the one, two minute, five minute early in the morning. So starting with 9.30, one minute, two minute are my primary, are my really, really primary interest but I also focus on higher time frames and especially when we are in the doldrum period because have you noticed even if you're trading stocks or if you're trading futures have you noticed that you have the tendency to stop down more often during doldrums from 11.30 to about 2.30? Well, the reason for that is because there are a lot of institutional traders that take breaks around that time and they're also they flip off some of the machines and you're having a little bit of light or volume during the doldrum period and you're gonna often see support resistance tested or setups that are being tested around that time and they don't pick up on the velocity for continuation higher or lower and very common is to see ranges that break out do the false breakouts and false breakdowns and then go back into the pattern before actually recalibrating, reshuffling and then moving further after 2.30 or so and in fact today for example the Dow was way stronger than Nasdaq then Russell, then Russell was the weakest actually and then the M&E S&P so in terms of let's say the diamonds were stronger, Russell was weaker and that is because the stocks under each index was a little bit stronger so we had strength in Home Depot we have strength still continuing in financials and again JPMorgan today just punched in a new high and we also have strength in UNH from a double bottom rotation if you're a swing trader that should be on watch also Nike very strong Costco, very strong Target also driving the price a little bit higher today so again these are things that you need to keep tab off and then if you're looking at a chart let's see if I can drag this chart here so you guys can see it, all right I don't know, can you guys give me a heads up let me know if you can see this chart, okay all right so you could see the perfect continuation this is coming from, okay thanks so much all right so you could see here that if you were going to a higher timeframe we saw that noise when I took the snapshot just before this presentation and finally when we cleared this area right here into the 350 we snapped higher this is we have actually entered into a moderate bullish above spot here which is very bullish that is conducive for another break into the 500 all right so these are some of the things that we focused on so like I said the whole trading plan is right on the charts this is an example of the MNE S&P and this is a one hour chart you could see that we have a great highlighted notation here which is the chop zone so any trades that are executed have a really high incidence of stopping out so that means that every trade that you executed has a 50-50 shot of working obviously the directional bias for this once we have the heavy confluence support here into the 80s this is going to be a bounce zone so you could see here in how the price how the price bounced so I'm gonna share with you the one hour chart here so you can see the example all right here it is so you could see the bounce zone that came the trigger was into the 97 and it ran from 97 to 39 we had a high of 39-12 right into the support that we have from the overnight trading session so it's not hard but it just requires you a little bit of knowledge of technical analysis and that's pretty much it so trading is a rule-based system if you have it as a rule-based system you're not gonna have that optical feeling in your hand when you're trading and you're not gonna feel the heat because you know that if the price reaches a certain point like when that S&P trade came in to 38-80 I knew that that was a bounce area so I was looking for a buy on a smaller timeframe so also finding high odds trade finding highest traded by doing a little bit of analysis and trying to find out that synchronicity or divergence divergence markets are very hard to trade that means that when you're having an index that is and this is valid for stocks as well so for example, if Russell is very weak or Nasdaq is very weak but you're having a very strong Dow and let's say a strong or M&E S&P or SPI's when you're trading you have no clue as to which index is going to influence the other if you're having a market where all of these indices are lined up you have a nice blend of synchronicity they're all into the they're all let's say into a certain percentage gain or they're all into a nice solid structure then you can literally throw a dart and take any or all trades take a trade in any or all of the indices but divergent markets are in general very difficult to trade so you have to be extra careful what I do is I actually dive into the stock market as well because I have that background and I try to look around for example at Dow stock so I was able to tell you that yeah, Dow is going to be stronger because we have the Dow stocks that are definitely stronger and I go with the directional button with the strongest directional bias so I'm not looking to counter although we do a lot of short squeezes, counter-trades, et cetera but we also I primarily focus on trend continuation but in a day like today short squeezes definitely really awesome worked and yesterday okay, so and then I have the patients to wait for a setup remember no setup, no trade it's as easy as that so if you're one of those traders that wants to find trades every five seconds you're not going to find it because setups take time to form and especially you have to correlate the time of the day that you're trading with the time frame that you're trading so the morning because it's really fast paced you're going to focus more on smaller time frames and therefore trades that are setting up in the morning in the first let's say minutes 10 to 15 minutes in the morning you're going to have those fast paced trades so that means that you're not going to marry the trade the trade is going to happen super fast and the duration of the hold is anywhere between 10 minutes and about 15 to 20 minutes and that's it we're on the other hand if you're getting a trade that is setting up after 10 o'clock or 10 15 you're going into a little bit higher timeframe the reaction timeframe is going to be two minute to five minute and then from that point on you can look to hold the trade for about 20 minutes to half an hour so you could see it increases and then at 10 30 again if you're having a very strong trend if you had let's say a very shallow pullback from 10 o'clock to I would say 10 20 to 10 30 then you're going to look for a continuation higher now trade that set up at 10 30 whether you're trading the stock market or the futures market are going to have a longer duration of life so that means that these trades can particularly last for about 30 minutes to 45 minutes even sometimes to an hour and that's it and then you're entering the doldrum period so these are really kind of like unique things that you need to know in order to understand the market and when you understand the market of synchronicity and when you understand the market rhythm then you can take trades with confidence and again it's all comes to fine fine and precise execution you have to know exactly where your entry is you don't have to know exactly where your stop is you don't have to know exactly where your targets are you can't wing it and also money management skill you have to know exactly how you're going to be trailing and how you're going to be position sizing and how you are going to react into target one target two target three or even into the last last target how you are going to trail even beyond let's say target one two three or four or five and of course patients you need to have patients you have patients you have the money you don't have the patients you do not have the money no paycheck no patients no paycheck so why futures? Well there are a lot of advantages into the futures market you can take on a short position with these because there is no uptake rule you have very reliable volume and in general you have a really fantastic volume from nine thirty to four o'clock the futures market actually closes at four fifteen I don't recommend trading beyond that point and also even if you trade in the overnight trading session and you work I don't know maybe a three shift job and if you're awake at three o'clock in the morning that is when the European market kicks in the London market kicks in the European market actually kicks in at two o'clock and then the London session kicks in at three o'clock and there is a lot of volume going on there so you're going to have really good follow through at that point you could also find really terrific swing trades that are sometimes are setting up into the Asian session so I like to look at charts around nine to ten o'clock p.m. at night and all these trades are worry free trades because you are going to take them on a much higher time frame so they're going to be all or nothing trades but that means is that you're going to have your entry your stop your target and you're going to go to bed in the next day the next day when you wake up you're either hit target or you're stopped out most of the time you hit target because of the strong analysis that we're doing okay so it's a method where you can generate income and wealth it's a really great income producing style of trading and also for wealth there are a lot of other traders that love to invest in commodities for instance right now gold, silver you know there's all that chatter and gold and silver and copper copper had a phenomenal move to the upside so commodities lumber for example okay so I had a trade in lumber it was last year I haven't gone into lumber this year even it was kind of like it was I saw the setup but I'm like I don't know I just got very complacent I'm like oh no okay no I'm not going to take the setup and it just punched $1,000 right now so our entry is way below that it was like 600 or something so there are going to be trades that you're going to miss there are going to be trades where you're going to make a killing but you can actually have long-term accounts and you could trade commodities so it's great for day trading swing trading and even investing into the market tick values and price ranges there's a price range for everyone for example a point in the Dow is $5 a tick and a point is $5 a tick and a point a tick in S&P is $1250 a point is $50 NASDAQ a point is $20 Russell a point is $50 so they're different price ranges I don't really pay particular attention to ticks because I have a method that allows me high velocity moves so I really don't bother with one or two ticks or three ticks I wouldn't even get out of bed for two points or three points or five points in a trade so I'm looking for a big move into the market also we do not use any scanner we do not use any special indicators for those of you that have different account sizes you can trade minis and micros there is a mini and a micro available for gold there is a mini available for oil which is half the size there is one for natural gas so there are alternatives so everybody can participate in these moves and in these trades there are a plethora of tax advantages and full-time traders benefit from special IRS taxing so this is something that you may wanna look into because this is very interesting and this is one of the reason eight years ago I made the full switch to day trading futures versus day trading stocks which I absolutely love so there's no pump and dump you guys know what happened with CME, with AMC or all that with the Reddit guys with the Robin Hooters and with the Wall Street bets so in this particular example with futures no manipulation, no downgrades these are really heavy markets no downgrades, no upgrades you don't have to pay attention to that and also what I do love about it is that it's a 24 hour market so with that means it has a hands on wrist so for example if market conditions change in the overnight you could actually set alerts for different levels and if these levels are being breached you could actually go back to your computer and change your orders or take profits or tighten the stop so one of the reasons many traders gravitate towards futures trading is the relatively low startup costs for example usually requires about $30,000 to open a stock day trading account and you must maintain at least $25,000 to keep your day trading status the futures market allows you to open an account for as little as $5,000 and that is with kind of like the big brokers like thinkorswim, trade station has lowered it to $500 I don't recommend that but they did ninja so we do work with the plethora of brokers as well and like I said you can open an account so a little less $5,000 and best of all you do not have to maintain that amount that $5,000 in because as long as you have sufficient cash from your account to cover your margin requirements to take the commodity or the index of micro obviously you can actually have a balance of $7,000 to $800 so let's say you open up an account with $5,000 you blow $4,000 out of it or $4,000 or $4,500 but as long as you have sufficient cash in your account to trade the index or commodity guess what you can still trade futures that's not possible with stock trading so it's very, very advantageous I'm gonna show you an advantage I'm gonna show it to you on charts I'm pretty sure you know that let's say if you wanna trade the Qs that hypothetically or priced at $300 and you need about $14,000 in buying power to buy a hundred shares and if the price goes up 50 cents of course you're gonna make 50 bucks because each penny is a dollar but if the trader wants to trade the many Nasdaq let's say that is priced at 12,500 the trader needs about $17,000 in buying power and that is because of the 2020 pandemic volatility they raised the margin requirements because it was way lower than training stocks but if the price goes up 50 points then you're making $1,000 compared to $50 so because each point is $20 let me show you how that is this is a pullback buy scenario on 15 minute chart and you can see right here that we initiated this trade we did this example last year so we entered the trade at 10 o'clock 10 o'clock represents a major reversal time into the market and we took our signature rotation and off of a confluence spot and we initiated the trade at 10 o'clock the trade duration was 20 minutes we had a hundred shares because we wanted to accommodate that $14,000 buying power and you could see here that we exited the trade into resistance and we made a profit of $73 which is perfect because it's with the hotter shares so we had continuation we have follow-through we had it into target it was fine the same trade we had pullback rotation same signature buy or around the 10 o'clock reversal time you're gonna see it's right on the dot and the trade duration was as well 20 minutes so like I said the trade duration the life of the trade is gonna be a little bit smaller if you're trading the morning and that's what I like about it so trade duration 20 minutes we bought it with one contract and we used $17,000 in buying power and we made $600 on this trade with one contract so you could see the difference a hundred shares here using the same buying power using again using the same buying power okay all right so the reason why I trade two hours and done is because I like to trade the overlap of the London session of the New York trading session the London session closes at 1130 and you're having really good volume that it's coming from the London session as well so geopolitical events literally don't wait for the market to open and events just happen and many markets that affect the US market trade outside of the US market hours so is it easy to succeed in trading well it is if you have the right guidance and you put a little bit of effort into trying to understand how the market works the market rhythm technical analysis and all that stuff and remember trading is not only about a strategy it's like okay I need to master the strategy to make money no it's about the strategy plus the management it's about the mindset and experience the attention to detail the discipline so it's a blend of everything so trading is a system so don't try to view trading in sequences but rather as a big puzzle and you need to put the puzzle together so learn before you dive into the market okay because these are all the sharks that are around us and these are hedge funds institutional traders right and we need to learn to swim with them okay so we don't fear so why should we should why would we care what the institutions are doing well because the institutions are the big sharks traders need to learn how to swim along with them institutional sharks see where our order is on the breakfast or lunch menu I guess it's no surprise you guys know that every broker out there is selling their data to hedge funds Robinhood is selling it to Citadel right so they know where our orders are institutional money create the current that moves the market the waves experienced traders have no fear because they know how to right the wave so the next time you want to hit the buy button or the sell the buy button or the sell button think about who's on the other side of the trade and who is watching is it a hedge fund it's traditional traders think of what a portfolio manager take this trade here with big prop firm companies or a trader into these big prop firm companies would they take a trade here market makers hedgers or well I'll go trigger here so next time you jump in a trade think about this 10 percent of the traders make money from the rest of the 90 percent of the traders so if trading was literally easy as you know reading a book I don't care if you buy 20 books from amazon and if you read them you cannot still put the system together trust me it is very complex trading is not hard but it's complex and you once you understand like every single piece that you need to put together it becomes simple okay all you have to do is sit back wait for the all the requirements to happen and you can enjoy the profits or if trading was easy as you know buying an indicator I'm like you know like no indicator zone because there is not one indicator that is literally working all these indicators even moving averages or anything that we're using they're they they're delayed they're lagging indicators okay so why futures well first of all if you have a full-time job you can dab into swing trading if you um you know can trade in the morning you can dab into day trading you could even day trade in the afternoon and it's up to you how you kind of like arrange your schedule uh depending on your lifestyle uh also you're going to supplement your income which is which would be fantastic have it as a part-time job but treat it as a business don't treat it as a hobby so when I come into trading every morning I never come in front of the computer in my pajamas or I never you know have my slippers my fuzzy slippers and my mug of coffee in my hand no I treat it as a business I could dress and come to the computer it's it's a business okay so you have to respect that as a business also you have unlimited income potential I mean literally you have income the more you work the more you know the more income you can uh you can generate and it's a recession and a depression proof skill and I'm pretty sure that every presenter in here is today is going to tell you that and you are in control over your time time was a big thing for me so I wanted to you know dedicate literally I was working I was a workaholic when I was you know working for a big investment company for a hedge fund and I was literally my commute time was about three hours a day so it was about an hour and a half to go to work an hour and a half to get back to get back from work so I was like spending more time driving than I'm spending now trading so that's your ultimate goal that was the number one force that drove me to you know trade my own accounts can anyone make money in the market yes if you can lose money in the market you can make money in the market it's just you have to flip a switch and you have to get the proper education you got to get the proper mentorship whether you're a day trader or swing trader whether you're a stock trader forex trader whatever trader you are make sure that you click with someone that is knowledgeable about trading and has a transparent track record has been around for a very long time uh and has uh is you know has had you know the really good positive results into the market these are our results from only two hours of trading in 2020 our win ratio basically my win ratio because I'm doing all the trading is over 80% and you could see here that January through December you can see the percentages right here March was one of the most difficult months to trade yet it was one of our most profitable tons of trading opportunities what I would say you know just a few times a couple of times in your lifetime that you're going to you know um you know take advantage of these uh huge opportunities that the markets have to offer I have taken this opportunity back in 2008 uh trade out loud was in around in 2008 but that is when trade out loud uh actually you know um kind of like you know started to form because I was helping a lot of traders everything was pro bono a lot of people were losing money into the market a lot of my acquaintances friends word of mouth etc they were coming to me I was doing a lot of lunch and learn webinars about their long-term accounts because they were jumping out of their positions and you can see the market went back up so again it takes a little bit of confidence and knowledge you know uh and uh after about two years of doing and trying to have everybody on the planet for free I decided that I create trade out loud so trade out was created actually 11 years uh 11 years ago uh so in trading you should only have four outcomes a big wins small wins break even trades and small losses is very important about you know to maintain a really well balanced break even trades are fantastic after let's say you have had like two or three bad trades let's say in a day and if you have that one trade that really kicks in like for for example like in today's market let's say you try long once twice and then the third time around you really wait it again and then you hit the jackpot right it was a home run uh right now in the especially into the doubt that we uh that we were watching so we trade live every single day a highly successful technical system it's everything is technical so it clicks right because you don't have to think about anything right it falls into uh the desired area of support or resistance you have your bullish above you have your bearish below spots you have all the information on the charts the trading plan in the chart built in so it's really easy navigating markets when you have a full system and we do uh trade with the institutional money flow in the first two hours and enables us to profit on momentum to move specific times locations and precise technical patterns our over our method overwrites any kind of news event remember news is just a brief interruption in the trend any artificial indicator we beat any indicator that is out there uh earnings even dark pools and there's one of the thing that you need to know why the market is so choppy and crappy right now and that's because tomorrow's option expiration at the beginning of the week on tuesday i mentioned to my traders that we will have sideways price action on tuesday wednesday and on thursday we're going to have a little dip and then things are going to start shaking again into option expiration on friday and then once we are all wrapped with this option expiration starting the next week maybe we're going to start having some smooth ceiling uh here's some reviews that we had from our trading room from the classes that we offer you can see that we have a lot of traders that are incredibly happy with the performance and what we do in the trading room like i said it's a literally stress free environment so we trade futures every day we trade the foreign disease gold and oil and we look at other commodities for potential swing trades um this is real time precise trading it's 100 guided so not only that i uh pulse the trade uh i comment on the trade so we do a pre-market uh pre-market uh game plan and we um highlight the areas where we want to buy where we want to uh where we have the targets where uh we see the potential stops for futures trades yeah we see them way in advance we see them like half an hour to an hour before they actually start happening it's all about forecasting and uh once we are into a trade the trade is actually called with precise parameters um i call it on the mic a few times before it happens and then i also post it in the room i take it in my account as well and uh for the duration of the trade it is 100 guided so i guide my traders the way i guide my account so i if they decide you know to carbon copy what i do in my account so if i reach target one i'd say i mention okay i'm just gonna scale out half here and i'm gonna race my stop to here so they're not left alone with just here's the trade see ya okay so it's a hundred percent guided to be uh to for the life of the trade until we actually close our trade i take between one and three trades a day today i only took one trade in the doubt it was a winner trades and what i'm done yesterday we actually had i think we have like four trades we have three losing trades and we have you saw it in the portfolio then we have one big trade that happened in the afternoon the trading room is actually open every day from nine o'clock to 12 o'clock uh and trades that are continuing beyond that point or if there are any other trading opportunities that are worth taking in the afternoon we have a private feed where we have uh traders that are following us and they receive the alert they take the trade and of course they receive guidance for that trade on the private feed uh like i said we do provide the exact parameters for the trade the entry to stop the targets live trailing for the life of the trade real-time response to all and every question uh it is a highly educational trading room as well we provide lectures and mentor mentoring in fact tomorrow if the price action is not going to be conducive for trading we're going to have a lecture uh we also like i said have a private fee for trades that go outside of the trading room hours and we do have a special offer for you guys um we are offering a bonus we are offering position sizing money management video course this is priced at a thousand dollars listen i do all the work you
