The worst of all these was that I kept repeating my same mistakes again and again. I knew where I had gone wrong in my trading strategies.

Question


What does it take to be a
professional trader?

Answer:
patience

Good technical skills..."why" the chart
Patterns always foretell a story line
Change. discipline..sticking to a game plan with a
Defined out. willing to be wrong and not get emotional
...you're either wrong the level or you're just
plane wrong the scenario. Intelligent Risk
management.

Vision...since markets are so interconnected
you have to be able to see and understand
how other markets effect the instrument
you're going to trade!!!
it's just as much about what not to do as
what to do!!


2) Question...your site says you trade to
make money, doesn't everyone?

Our focus is to have a plan and make
money consistently not be a 1 hit wonder.
Answer: many market participants trade
fundamentally with no regard for Risk
management.
This is the I'm right crowd and the market is
wrong.

There is a huge difference in trading to be right
and trading to make money.
Interested parties can go to our web site, sign
up for a free trial and we’ll send you our white
papers…A Traders Blueprint + The Greatest
Trading Mistakes…Based on My own painful
experiences.

3) Question...you've been at this for a
long time, how do you know when and
where to trade?
Answer: we use a matching method of lining
up various instruments to telegraph turning
points both long and short term.
We've found that 99.9% of professionals we
speak with do not fully understand how to put
the board together,
meaning matching up world Bond and equity
levels which will be reflected by the Currencies
and various Risk commodities.
We could speak for well over an hour on this
subject alone…Check our Glossary on our site
to Fully understand what a Risk On or Risk off
trade is and the potential ramifications.
you'll learn how the markets interact and what
to look for.

We then look at the entire board to chose
lowest risk instrument to trade.
I.E.


4) Question...You've been trading
currencies since they were quoted on
Blackboards as an early member of the
IMM, could we speak about FX and in
particular the USD/CAD.

Answer: The Canadian Dollar is what is
considered to be a Risk currency or Commodity
currency.
when the Equity markets are in buy mode "
Risk ON" the Canada is a recipient of those
flows for the obvious Fundamental
reasons...strong ties to the U.S....resource
rich...good governance with liquid capital
markets.
The opposite is also true when people shun
Risk, the Canada will under perform.

5) Question: Why do you spend so much
time looking at the cross rates?
Answer: The crosses tell you whether it's
a straight dollar trade of a realignment of other currencies

It is imperative in knowing how much you
can make on a trade and it's risk profile..
I.E. all the fundamental guys have been telling
me they want to be short the Euro..
we've been telling them for 5 months this is
the wrong way on the crosses EUR/JPY &
EUR/AUD,
which means you should be buying the hard
breaks not selling them. Strength is these
crosses are also reflective of
a general Risk On Bias in other asset classes.
You need to do the trades when the market is
set up to reward you, particularly if you won't
trade from both sides.
I.E. Fundamental investors have been looking
for a realignment..( a weakening of the yen all
year) it wasn’t until sept that you could do the
trade and get rewarded.
back to the canada..right now the straight
USD/CAD is stuck in a small range, however
there is a big realignment
going on versus the yen. CAD/JPY...Long
Canada/ Short Yen.

6) question: Do you have a prediction for
the equity markets of the currencies going
forward.

Answer: we're in the here and now, trade
what's in front of us business. We generally
have a bias. Since our client list runs the
gamut from hedge fund guys to professional
day Traders and Private wealth clients looking
for
at least a 10% move before there interest gets
peaked, we write what we see.( what we feel is
germane to them making money on a daily as
well as a weekly basis.
