What is computerised E-Minis trading?
Computerised Eminis day trading is the buying and selling of Stock Index Futures within a single day, or intra-day. No position is held overnight. Real-time market data, via the Internet, is used to determine buy and sell signals, and orders can be placed electronically via the Internet with no middleman or broker intervention in the process of order execution.
Why can't trading software make the final decision for you and ensure profitability?
Trading software, or black boxes, are based on past market data that is used to predict future market results. It’s like using yesterday's weather to predict today’s weather, not very dependable. The market dynamics are always changing and the market never repeats itself exactly. Software-based trading programs don’t stay profitable and often offer huge losses. If software-based trading programs could dependably and consistently make profitable decisions, banks or corporations with billions of dollars in assets and resources could develop such software and use it to trade. Software tools are only useful to assist in crunching numbers and sorting data. The only way to become a successful trader is to learn to trade for yourself, and this is where we can help you.
Why should I day trade the E-Minis markets?
Successful day trading requires a market with enough daily movements to make it worthwhile, allowing for the entry and exit of positions at intervals large enough to grab a piece of the movement. The S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Euro Stoxx 50 markets are among the most volatile markets in the world, moving up and down frequently enough on a daily basis to allow for multiple intra-day trading opportunities.
E-minis are cutting-edge products designed for the active trader who wants to trade electronically, and likes to have maximum control with the highest profit potential. As more and more investors and traders learn about the E-Minis Indexes, they switch to short-term trading of the markets.
How does TIMES work?
The key to trading success is to combine powerful accuracy with strategy simplicity. TIMES utilises a simple yet powerful strategy to determine the buy and sell signals that occur numerous times daily. There is always an advance warning that occurs long before final confirmation of a trade entry. When there is a potential for a signal to form, the trade should be prepared for execution. When the final confirmation occurs, simply execute the trade online with one click. TIMES alert you to the exact second to submit the trade. Immediately after entering the market, a stop loss order is placed in an effort to limit the risk of substantial loss. Some popular trading systems require a year or more of practice to use their methodology but TIMES is designed to get the trader productive in a much quicker time frame. Many systems require that you monitor multiple charts and indicators on multiple screens, making it difficult for the average person to be successful. The TIMES signals are powerful and easy to recognise and only one monitor is required.
How long will the TIMES last and will it become outdated?
TIMES will not become outdated as long as the E-Minis markets continue to have reasonable volatility and liquidity. If the market is not volatile there is no potential for profit and you should not be trading with any system. The E-Minis S&P 500, DOW and Euro Stoxx 50 markets have been volatile since their inception providing excellent opportunities for TIMES traders.
What is the potential of TIMES and what can it do for me?
On average, TIMES identifies eight signals per day. These signals usually occur at the beginning of the very high probability moves. With our trading method it does not matter whether the market is going up or down (or even sideways). With the E-Minis, you can trade short just as easily and safely as going long. Unlike the stock market, there is no additional risk and no up-tick rule to short sell.
How long is the training period?
The TIMES training period lasts about four weeks, or longer, depending on the students learning abilities. After registering, our comprehensive online e-course will be sent to you by email that day.
Using the easy-to-follow directions, it takes only a few minutes to set up your proprietary TIMES chart and schedule your live, interactive, online training workshop. You don't have to travel to our offices for professional training. After the workshop, students begin trading with a hypothetical account online, simulated trading program that provides real-time fill prices and real reports. This approach helps the student learn the trading techniques and gain confidence before investing any real capital. All students must generate 15 consecutive days of profitable trading in simulation before they begin actual trading.
What added mentorship does Traders International offer?
Best of all, Traders International invites you to trade in the live market, in real time, with your instructor for three full months at NO extra charge. This extra mentorship speeds you up the learning curve and increases your chance of long-term success. Post-training support is always available to address any questions. No company offers a more comprehensive or effective training program than Traders International. This is the primary reason that this course has achieved top ranking, worldwide, by traders and readers of Stocks & Commodities Magazine
Can TIMES be implemented on a part-time basis?
Yes. The day session is open from 8:30 AM to 3:15 PM CST (US Central Standard Time). The preferred time to trade is generally the first and last couple of hours because the market is normally more volatile.
During the lunch time hours, the market typically decreases in volatility. Trading can be done on any preferred day either in the morning or afternoon, full or part-time.
How should I start L trading?
After achieving 15 consecutive profitable days in your simulated trading, we recommend that students begin trading with only one E-Minis contract for the first few days. The minimum to open a brokerage account is US$2000. In an E-Minis S&P 500 contract each point is worth US$50 per contract. By trading with only one E-minis contract, students test their discipline while risking the least amount of capital. If the student experiences consistent success with one E-mini contract, their amount of trading capital will increase and allow them to add additional contracts to their trades as their win/loss ratio improves.
