False Assumptions are Killers...

There are two things that I hear on occasion that always make me laugh. Number one – This move up or down has to keep going because of such and such. Number two – This Market has gone too far, we are at a top or a bottom and it can’t go any further. When I find myself thinking such things, I do an immediate “check up from the neck up” because I know that I...

    I get the biggest laugh from these self proclaimed market experts who think they know which way the market is heading. Using Jeff’s coaching I’ve been making 10% to 14% a month in the markets simply by looking at what a chart is telling me, and laughing at all the talking heads out there.

The Past Is Not A Prison...

If someone came up to me and frustratingly admitted, “I’ve lost money for the past 3 months in a row” do you know what I’d say? I’d ask him or her one question: Where is your Focus? Because losing money is never fun. And in the New Economy, it hurts even more. And the only way to stop the cycle of loss and frustration is by shifting to the proper Focus. William James, a 19th...

    Jeff, Thank you for this timely post. I have gotten killed this year with wrong directional trades 9betting on the correction that doesn’t come). My biggest problem is two fold: 1) When to cut and run. i.e. take the loss and get out. 2) Fear – afraid to not be in the directional when the big reversal happens. I’m so sure (wrongly) that the market will tank that I keep making trades based on that. Do I get out of all of those losing trades immediately? What do I do to get back on track? I know you cannot give personal advice but can you broadly comment on this and how to get moving forward again? Please help! Thank you

Beating “Doubt” Into Submiss...

Last night, The Vikings played the Jets on Monday Night Football, and the most memorable part of the game had nothing to do with the score at the end. You know what the most memorable part was? It was a short clip where the announcers ran through all of Brett Favre’s NFL records (for all you non-sports fans out there… he is the Quarterback for the Vikings). They started with...

    Hello Jeff… am very busy watching all the videos, paper trading and studying. Your style of ‘teaching’ is excellent – easy to understand and implement. My BIGGEST trading problem has been not obeying my stops. I am improving in this area because it’s mandatory !!!

Keep the Coaching and Profit Alerts coming as often as you see fit. Thank you. Julie Reagan P. S. Am looking forward to receiving the ‘All Star Trading Plan’…Will fax my form at the end of Oct.

Over the past several years that I’ve been coaching traders… I’ve been asked a bunch of times what separates the “wannabe traders” from the Pros, who actually make real money in the market. And I usually answer by giving the six things that loosing traders do to sabotage their trading accounts… and ruin any chance they have for profit. Well, I’ve put together a...

What If This is True?...

Yesterday, I was reminded of a simple yet profound lesson I learned from Napoleon Hill… that had a huge impact on the way I trade. He once said, “Seek counsel. Not Opinions. Opinions are usually based off a lack of knowledge. Counsel is based off wisdom and experience.” Every single time you flip on the TV, or surf around on one of many financial sites online, you are...

    Jeffrey,

    I spent the last 6 months of 2009 studying what is really going on and have sources that you should evaluate in order to best protect your family.

    Please send me your e mail address, and I will send you some extremely important information for your evaluation.

    I bought 20 Gold Eagles the first part of this year. The last two months most of my option spreads have been Bear Calls. I own long stock position in TZA. Am I bearish? Yeah, until I get some other indication to reverse my outlook.

    I have taken your course and apply what I have learned, although I usually take a slightly lower probability (more risk).

    I also trade Calendars, Iron Condors and a few Butterflies.

    Hi Jeff- it is music to my ears to hear that you subscribe to the same ideology I have about our economy and where it is headed. I have been preparing for global economic chaos/collapse for a long time. I still have a lot to do, but one of my main goals is to become wealthy in the process, and be able to preserve it for my family – which is why I decided to subscribe to your service.

    I believe that times like this make & break fortunes- I intend to be on the “making” side of the equation with your help. I have already pre-positioned about $35,000 of my investment account with OTM long calls in FAZ, SDS, TZA, & SRS. I know this is the kind of speculation which you capitalize on, but it was already in place before I signed up with you, so I’m betting on the long shot for a huge score by Jan ’11 option expiration. My plan is to take my seed $$$ out asap & if the market tanks I will reap millions on their dime.

    Although my learning curve is steep because I do not have chart reading or TA skills I would like to be up to speed with your program asap so I can manage my investment account to great wealth. What do you recommend? I have also been taking physical possession of gold & silver trying get prepared for hard times. Where are we supposed to protect our wealth when the dollar collapses?

    I live in Prescott, AZ & would love to attend any workshops or meetings which you sponsor to meet you.

    Keep up the good work!!

    Heavy in cash, little bent more to the downside with inverse funds, equities on the long side that I have left are dividend payers with OTM options sold against them-considering switching to closer strikes or ITM sold call options. Problem is I feel most everyone knows the conditions in the world;however it comes to this HFT and the BS the government pulls it makes it a little hard to get overly exposed on the downside because someone somewhere is going to pump up this market regardless of conditions-apparently today is short covering before the weekend;however we are not at closing yet.

  6. Michael Stoll says:

    My best alternative is to short the ES, YM and commodity currencies.

  7. Ray says:

    I agree. It appears we have some tough times ahead and need to prepare immediately to generate a steady, reliable income streams. My immediate plans and activities involve rewatching the trading video’s learning TOS trading platform’s analyze tab and prob of expiring graphs and start paper trading the watch list next month.

  8. Dave Kirby says:

    Sell bear calls when a major break of support occurs or when confirming from a bounce down off resistance that was previous support – also buy puts on the index eg SPY to protect all your positions.

  9. maurice says:

    I have not started preparing yet. First I would like to get started by trading. Listening to your intro.to credit spreads makes so much sense, I cant wait to get started. Ive just got to get my finances in order now because of my past failures with options. I am ready to try something that is consistent an steady.Please comment on any suggestion you may have with getting started. Thanks! Maurice
