There’s a lot of great information about Trading Psychology. One person whom I have a lot of respect for is Dr. Brett Steenbarger. His blog has been instrumental in developing a proper trading mindset over the years.
So, after a single negative trading day last week, I’m back strong… This morning I had 4 trades, 3 [...]
Trading is a business and performance activity that must be measured over the long-term, but managed on a trade-by-trade, micro level. For example, your main goal should be to come out net profitable over a period of trades, days, weeks, or months. It doesn’t really matter if you win any single trade, only if you win [...]
Over the past 30 days I’ve been implementing a few different nuances to my trade entry and management style. I’ve been testing a few strategies with my programmers, and have been practicing them after-hours with NinjaTrader market replay. Only recently have I started to trade the adjusted style with some size in the live market…

After a profitable trading morning session, I decided to take the afternoon off to enjoy some time in downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina. And as I was sipping on some “cafe con leche”, the markets were going into a state of panic and confusion. Within 30 minutes the DOW fell about 1,000 points, which dipped below [...]
Well, we made it down to Buenos Aires, Argentina and just got through our first trading day. Thankfully, today was a profitable day for us. We had a 66% win ratio this morning, and were able to pull out a few points in the e-mini S&P 500.
I wanted to introduce Marcello Arrambide, who has been [...]
Well, it’s been a few months since I’ve been out of the country. Ever since our last trip to Costa Rica, I’ve been hacking away at the e-mini futures markets. Also, I’ve been immersed with our MAP Mastery class, which is a group of 30 traders who have invested 95 days to learn [...]
Over the past 8 years, my Emini Academy team and I have been able to test over 200 different trading strategies and systems in the e-mini, currency, and equity markets. We’ve used and abused everything from standard indicators, to fully-automated trading systems. As a result, we found 6 key components that would repeat [...]
Jim started trading E-minis about 6 months ago. With no prior trading experience, and over 6 months of shopping for a trading system, he decided to join the Emini Academy and start trading the MAP Trading Strategy.
I thought it would be beneficial for other traders who hear Jim’s story and allow him [...]
This year has been incredible for trading… we’ve seen the average daily volume on the S&P 500 Emini sustained above 2M contracts for most of the year, and the volatility has stayed decent. It’s not anywhere as crazy as 2008, but I think that’s ok… it’s actually kinda nice having a little bit of a [...]
Hey folks… We’re back from Costa Rica and we had a blast! Not only did I accomplish my top-secret mission, but we got to do a bunch of cool stuff in the meantime.
I can’t think of anything cooler than day trading on the side of a volcano, then surfing in the Pacific the next day… [...]
