Question Regarding My Background and CD Course

Answer to a question regarding my background and CD course found at http://www.swingtrader.net (No, it's not just for swingtraders!)

Hello ----,

I would be happy to help you with any questions you may have! I've been trading full time for 11+ years and teaching trading to newer traders for about 10 of those years. After I began trading I started a free site at swingtrader.net where I just posted things I was learning as well as the picks I was making. It gained a rather large following very quickly and one of the educational sites back in the day asked me to write a newsletter for them since I had a very strong track record of picks. This is where I ended up in the "teaching" end of things. By doing the newsletter for them and eventually a chatroom as well I was forced to explain exactly why I was making my decisions since we ran the room as an educational and trade room and site. So, I detailed all the reasons behind the trades as well.

From that point I went on to working one-on-one with traders and found that I was constantly repeating the same material based upon my form of technical analysis where I look at building blocks of pattern development, which are more important than what the completed pattern looks like. The building blocks are what I detail in the CD course. Essentially what I do is cover how price patterns develop in the market and the components which go into each pattern and determine the odds of success or failure as well as target potential, methods for minimizing stops, etc.

The course then details specific combinations of these building blocks to give you strong patterns to incorporate into your own trading plan. One of the pdfs (Successful Market Timing) shows a large number of these patterns with examples that list not only the ideal pros and cons, but also examples where I detail the pros and cons of each of the trades so that you can understand how to apply the building blocks in live trade. I personally trade securities and commodities, but many of those I have worked with also trade options and forex using the same system of analysis. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask!

All my best,
Toni
