    The cool thing about limits is we can always raise them! And there is no limit to how far! The only question is how muchof our lives we want to dedicate to driving, and how much commitment we can bring to that time.

    i curious to know about the status of your mentorship program and did you have any pricing ideas. i am pursuing acting in los angeles and realize that the acting jobs are very inconsistent. i think trading could be a very successful profession for me. i have been doing some studying for the past couple months on vsa and i see that you trade according to that style. (at least analyzing volume and price action). thanks for the response and take care bro ( in California every guy is referred to as bro)

    Whats up my man? Nice rebound on you trades.

    I was presented with a 90 day (demo) test, to trade a hedge fund account. For some resound I have been very un-easy. Not doing well on his account. Any advice, to help me? (don't know why but in my mind I am not taking the right trade set up, but doing fine with personal account) I pull the trigger on my account then his. Take profits on mine, but not his, what in the hell is my problem? Am I trying to hard? Shooting for home runs)

    sorry for all this, just wondering how you are coping with trading OPM?

    It is apparent that my understating of the function of an IT pro is in correct,

    (I may not be see or saying this right, but I thought the badge system, comes with some responsibility, and merit. (depending on the one that you hold, people must meet cretin qualification, and be approved by other members that holds certain status on this form.)

    and you mean to tell me that you don't see yourself as an instructor. You are, you have a mentoring service. That makes you an instructor. Maybe not one for informed trades. But you are an instructor. SO what and how you say things, matter. kicks or no kicks, To new and visiting traders.


    But if you don't see that people like me value your opinions and you don't feel your words hold great weight in the minds of visitors. that is ashame!

    I will not reply to other stuff, only you know the motives of your heart for what you do and how you do it, not for me to question.

    all I know is how it appears to be coming across to me. and maybe that was do, to not understanding the role of an IT pro.

    AND like you said the boss is ok with it, so why should I question it?

    you will here no more from me on this!

    but I want you to know I always have and will have mad respect for you.

    Hi Ek,

    Well for starters I love your market commentary. I watched literally every video you posted on youtube last night. In some of your videos you mentioned how the price action and volume gave you insight to the trading activity of the bulls and the bears. Where did you learn how to analysis the price action? I know that you mentioned a few books in your autobio, but are there any must reads you would suggest for beginners? Looking forward to your future posts.

Hi guys,

Thanks for checking out my blog.

Last Wednesday I made one of the worst trades that I ever made. I over leveraged (greed), stopped myself out to early (fear) and allowed a nice winner to become a big loser. ((I got be more like Larry!!))

From a technical stand point the trade was planned perfectly and I should have profited from it or took a small loss. Instead, I allowed it to get away from me and once again put my fund in jeopardy....

Hi Guys...

Well, This ain't no 1000 pip DREBG trade.. (I wish).. But it was a successful trade non the less. I managed to do okay on this one. I wanted to show this trade and try to give you an example of the way I like to day trade forex and what has yielded me the little success I've had. My goal is to attempt to day trade it more, instead of holding.. But It's going to be difficult.

I should have just been short the euro all of this time and kept shorting it....

Hi Guys,

Thanks for checking out the blog.

This past Thursday I met up with a group of traders for a nice little pow wow about the state of the markets. We talked mainly about the market crash from the week before (I know, old news now) what might have caused it, and different ideas on how we are going to plan to trade for the future. I talk about volume and discuss with the group how I use it to make my trading decisions.

Also, you will here some...

Hi Guys,

Once again, thanks for checkiing out my blog and taking interest in what I'm up to.

Obviously, It's been a while since I've posted anything. Ive been EXTREMELY busy with a lot of things in both my regular job, family, and my trading endeavors. This post might be a little long winded and I might ramble a bit so please forgive me ahead of time. I'm going to cover a lot of the things that have been going on from managing the fund, job, and personal development.....

Hi guys, I just wanted to give you guys a peak at one of the lessons from the new course I'm putting together. I'm still working out a few things and there's other things I want to add to the lessons. I was hoping to have this thing rolled out soon but trading has set me back. I'm trying out this technology from Adobe because it gives me better control over the material.
