Hi, Michael! Thank you so much for all this information. Well, the biggest challenge I have faced with my Trading is that there is sooooooo much information about it and I don´t know where to start. Sincerely, I started a few years ago watching videos but at the end, all them become boring and always want to sell me a very expensive course. As an Argentinian woman, I have to think about buying it not once, but twice. Hope you understand me, but I don´t know where to start.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Verónica.

Start here and here and here and here and here and here.

Dear Michael, I don’t want to take up your time. I have a 7am-4pm accounting job that I want to quit as soon as possible. I know I can replace my income day trading. I like the tax advantages of futures. Can you send me some educational alerts for 30 days and tell me what I need to send you to continue the alerts past 30 days. After that milestone, step me up sending me more and tell me what my next payment is. Make me a Master Trader. I’ll do all the work. I have TradeStation and Thinkorswim. I follow the gold 34 EMA for ES. Buy when price is on top of the 34 EMA. Sell later. I may put you on my permanent Christmas list.

Sincerely,
David C.

Leave the day trading dream. Go trend following.

Michael,

Thank you for all this great info. I had to think for a few days about how to answer your question, but I’ve finally come up with the answer. Consistent profits is my biggest challenge. Growing my account, not diminishing my account.

Thanks Again,
Larry S.

Strategy is mandatory. Trend following is an option. An extremely wise option.
