If you are new to the world of trading...

First, let me welcome you and tip my hat to you venturing where most people are afraid to go!  The world of trading is a strange one with many myths about instant wealth, and losses.  There is a great deal to learn.

Futures and commodities are not like stocks. We don't have shares, we have contracts... We can buy $100,000 of a commodity for as little as $3,000, without any interest charges on the $97,000.  Commissions are low and commodities are real. They go up and down because people must have wheat, corn, gold, crude oil, etc.  There are no Stock market "Enron Games" played here.

Google my name. You'll find lots of people wanting to teach to you trade like me or claim they trade like me. Lots of people with lots of claims.

A quick tour of the net will expose you to many offers of instant wealth and easy money.  I'll be the first to tell you it is just not that way. Don't fall for the hype. Like any other profession or business it takes knowledge and skill to do well. I can teach you the skills and techniques you need. I don't just give you the tool box, I give you the tools as well, as my students will tell you.

 

I think there are 3 steps for a person new to futures and commodities.

1) Learn the basics of how to position trade, where you see a market that is ready for a big move so you take a position.  No day trading here; you can have a job and still do this spending maybe 30 minutes a day.  This is what most people should be doing. It is the easiest money.

2) Swing trade. No day trading yet. Look to get in and out of a trade in 3 to 5 days. But, I caution you, this is not where you begin. You need to know, and have traded, the basics first.

3) Short term trading.  OK, you want to day trade? This is the final step --- but I will tell you it is the hardest, the most difficult, and the riskiest way to trade.  It is the dream of so many, to day trade, but it is usually a nightmare.  I don't think you are ready for day trading until you have been trading for at least a year or more.

When I teach people how to day trade I put my own hard cash at risk, so you can really see how it works. I have made $1,000,000 in front of students trading and gave them back 20% of the profits. It is not for most people. All the FX/Day trading stories that you have read about (making fortunes) are hustles. Please be very careful; use your common sense.

 

If you have already begun to trade...

If you are not yet making money, what do you do? Go back to the basics! My bet is that you have not learned what moves markets... you have looked at charts and indicators, but those things (Technical Analysis) by and large are mumbo-jumbo, which is why you are not making money.  Just because you have been trading does not mean you know what is really going on.

Can I help you?  I sure think so... I think I've trained more traders to be successful than anyone else in this business. 

Help yourself to my site, feel free to browse around here. Check out all the free stuff. My intention has been to create a site with ongoing value as well as what most people has described as the best educational products available... and at a reasonable price. 

If you want to learn what makes markets move and how to trade, then I'm your guy.  Feel free to email if you have questions.

Respectfully,

Larry
