Are you a natural born trader?

'There has been a long running debate on whether good traders are just born good traders,

because they possess the requisite temperament, intelligence and entrepreneurial drive to

succeed in a rather chaotic environment, that can change hour to hour, or, is it possible

that individuals from all walks of life can
evolve into good traders?

I hate to use the same analogy all of the time, but I truly believe that learning how to

trade successfully is no different than learning how to manoeuver your car during rush

hour traffic on the turnpike everyday. If you believe that good traders are born that way

and all others will fail then you should really be taking the bus to work everyday, because

you must also assume that good drivers are born good drivers, and all others should

commit to public transportation. Yet, somehow, millions of Americans manage to

maneuver their 4,000 lb ‘tanks’ back and forth to work everyday, at speeds exceeding

75MPH, as they weave in and out of traffic while sipping on their coffee and chatting on

their cell phones. Were they born good drivers or did they learn how to drive successfully

in rush hour traffic?

Many, many years ago a very successful trader who made many millions in the markets

conducted an experiment. He recruited a group of individuals from all walks of life, most

of them had very little understanding of the futures markets and no practical trading

experience. He provided them training, coaching and some seed capital to get started. The

‘TURTLES’ as they were called, went on to become some of the most successful traders

in the industry. Dennis proved that individuals can ‘evolve’ into successful traders when

given the right tools, training and coaching.

A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY … COMPARING BUSINESS VENTURES

I encourage you to shop around for other business opportunities out there … ones that are

real, not some MLM scheme or flakey vending machine deal. For a credible franchise

business or structured business opportunity the start up fees will run between

$150,000.00 up to $450,000.00. Many of those types of businesses are geared to

returning 30% to 50% per year on invested capital.

Let’s use an example of a franchise that returns 30% on the $250,000.00 capital base

needed to run the business. You’ll need to rent a commercial facility, design and pay for

advertising, hire employees, deal with sales tax, payroll, workers comp. You’ll need to

inventory product or parts and then you’ll need to sell your product to the public at large.

In short, you’ll bust your chops 24/7 in order to earn $75,000.00 per year or $6,250.00

per month. AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS!

There are numerous business opportunities out there but the
‘TRADING BUSINESS’ is

unique. It is extremely efficient, no employees, no payroll, insurance and tax hassles to

deal with, no office overhead, no inventory or production equipment other than your

personal computer. The ‘TRADING BUSINESS’ is like all other businesses in that your

success is measured by the return, or yield on capital invested into the business.

INCOME OBJECTIVES FOR YOUR TRADING BUSINESS

Many small traders actually believe they can turn $2,500.00 into $50,000.00 or more in

under 30 days using futures contracts. We can pretty much GUARANTEE you .. with

that type of attitude or belief … you will fail miserably as a trader and you would be

better off playing the craps tables in Las Vegas.

Let’s take a few moments to examine some ‘realistic’ potential offered by trading the

emini futures market. While there is always potential to produce some rather amazing

returns on capital, month over month in this market, there is also the potential to

suffer some astounding month over month losses …enough to wipe out your trading

capital in 30 days or less. Astounding profit potential … horrifying loss potential and

somewhere in the middle is where professional traders exist.

Professional traders, those that trade for a living, seek realistic returns based upon their

understanding of the markets, their skill as a trader and the ‘net’ capital base they have

to work with at all times. The ‘net’ capital base is really just the total amount of money

they can afford to lose without disrupting their lifestyle. When trading in a high risk/ high

reward environment you should only use a percentage of your total liquidity.

Let’s briefly examine what you need in terms of capital to get started in this business.

1) A reasonably robust computer and monitor. >> $1,000.00

2) A high speed internet connection, cable or better. >> $540.00 per year.

3) An integrated data-feed charting application such as TradeStation, or Ensign to

mention a few >>less than $1500.00 per year

5) Various subscription services such as newsletters or chat rooms for trading etc..

Let’s tally up our equipment and service cost thus far.
$3500.00 for 1 year in the

business. We haven’t even opened up a trading account and we’re in for a few thousand

dollars already. If you cannot afford this kind of money you should not attempt

to start a TRADING BUSINESS. Without the proper tools and services you will fail in

the business.

Now, we need to fund our trading account.

The minimum funding needed is 5.000$. With this,kind of money, I would advise you to trade max 2 contracts per trade.

But, it would be safer to have a few more bucks in the account, or if not possible, to trade with only one contract. Do not

trade too 'heavy' with regard to your account.

If you do that … YOU WILL FAIL IN THIS BUSINESS. Please trust me on this.

If you are undercapitalized you have no margin for error and will always be trading

with ‘scared money’. Trading with ‘scared money’ is a virtual guarantee that you’ll

fail in this business, as your emotions will overcome you on every trade you take.

So again, an absolute minimum is 5000$.This is risk capital and

you must be able to accept the possibility that you’ll lose every dime.

If you need that money to pay your bills or put food on the table for your family … DO

NOT START A TRADING BUSINESS.

If you only have $2,500.00 to work with DO NOT START A TRADING BUSINESS.

If you do not have $5.000.00 to 10.000$ in trading capital and another

$3,500.00 for operating overhead .. YOU ARE NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME.

Earlier we mentioned a franchise business that required $250,000.00 in operating capital

and returned about 30% per annum or $6,250.00 per month in income to the owner.

Let’s examine our possibilities here. Let's assume we can take an average of 30 Dow points per day out of the market trading

2 contracts. This shouldn't be too hard to do. And let's assume we do this little trick 20 days a month.

30pts x 20d x 5$ = 3000$.

So you've earned yourself an extra 3000$ in one month of trading.

Please dwell on that number for a few moments and reflect on the average daily range in

the YM every day. Study the charts for the number of trade set ups that occur every day.

Is this goal achievable? Yes it is and for those

of you that have been studying this market for awhile you know that those numbers are

very achievable. Is it guaranteed? Of course not, only taxes and death are guaranteed.

Is it possible to make $150 per day trading the YM? YOU BETCHA!

Now let me ask you this. Would you prefer shelling out $250,000.00 for a business, still

have a 50/50 chance of success or failure, work 24/7 and deal with myriad hassles in

order to make $75,000.00 per year?

Or, would you prefer to set realistic income goals using a capital base of 8,000$-$13,000.00 in

the TRADING BUSINESS? I’ve given you realistic goals, I’ve told you the amount of

capital needed to start this business. You can easily fail at either business if you’re not

totally committed to success but the TRADING BUSINESS is very unique and it allows

those that succeed an excellent revenue steam on a much smaller capital base and more

importantly a life style that is unique. If you can hit your numbers every day, before noon

time, and take the afternoon off you have >>> FREEDOM.

Successful traders are not born. They evolve over time. You will always make mistakes,

suffer losses and experience frustration as long as you are a trader. But, if you have the

desire to succeed and you are armed with the proper tools, training and coaching you can

evolve into a successful trader. Let me make a statement about that key word I’ve been

using …
evolve.

totalcommitment to success. If you truly desire success as a trader then you must

commit totally to the evolutionary process wherein each day you learn a little more

about what to do and what not to do in a certain situation.

OUR MISSION

We are convinced that we can provide an environment where traders (TRADING

for a potential trading opportunity and explain the reasons for the trade. If you

understand the risks involved and desire to take that trade for your own account …

that is your prerogative. You can either take the trade with real money, or practice

with a trade simulator and observe the results.

In this manner you have an opportunity to
EARN as you LEARN on each viable trade

setup that occurs throughout the trading session. As you gain confidence and insight into

the targeted trades, understanding the reasons and
the risk, you may wish to enter those
