| Q. |
Can I trade more than 30 to 90 minutes a day? |
| A. |
Yes. You can break it up into two sessions if you like. Perhaps a morning session and afternoon session—make 1 point each session.
|
| Q. |
Can I trade for more than one point a day? |
| A. |
My emini trading course has advanced material for those who WANT to trade all day and earn more than one point a day. That’s fine to do, provided that you have the risk capital to do so and that you understand the risks of trading.
|
| Q. |
Can I use this with Eminis other than the S&P? |
| A. |
Yes! The Tick Trader Course works great with other markets such as the 30 year bonds, Erussell, and Dow Minis. Many of our students trade other markets with our system.
|
| Q. |
What is a Day Trading School? |
| A. |
Many websites offer day trading training where you have to attend a classroom in a school. If you are not near one of these "schools", you are out of luck. I offer my course as an "at home" learning experience. You learn at home to earn at home.
|
| Q. |
How much money do I need to start? |
| A. |
Most brokers require a $5000 starting balance.
|
| Q. |
Can I feasibly make an income with a $5000 opening balance? |
| A. |
It is very feasible – assuming you understand the risks involved in trading the emini markets, understand the rules, and have discipline. Check out my business plan. You will see that trading a conservative 3 contracts is already earning 35K a year. If you compound for just a couple months you can earn a very handsome 6 figure income. Please note that my business plan is merely a hypothetical example.
|
| Q. |
Can you recommend a good broker? |
| A. |
Yes, Send me an email.
|
| Q. |
How much are commissions? |
| A. |
Commissions vary depending on broker. We have a preferred broker that offers our students $4.50 R/T per contract on the Emini S&P and $3.50 on the bond markets. Contact us for more information on our preferred broker.
|
| Q. |
How long will it take to learn The Tick Trader Methods? |
| A. |
I believe if you read the manual and watch the videos, you will underway in under a week. It’s important to watch all the Training Videos (online) and our Daily Videos to help build a strong foundation. It’s vital that you trade on simulator for several weeks until you feel comfortable trading with real money. My emini trading system is very accurate, but: All trading involves risk! It is paramount that you fully understand and follow the rules of our emini system! The Live Trading Room is a great benefit as you can hear what I am doing in real time.
|
| Q. |
What kind of support will I receive from you? |
| A. |
Traders Soft LLC and it’s agents offer unlimited email support. Phone support is also offered at no additional charge. Individual one-on-one support is time consuming so we limit our phone calls to normal business hours. We take our phone calls by appointment only.
|

|
| Q. |
You mention discipline quite a bit. Why? |
| A. |
It’s that important. Whether you purchase my day trading course or some one else’s, you need to be disciplined to follow the rules to the letter. If you cannot follow rules are an undisciplined trader – you WILL lose your money trading! I highly recommend purchasing Direct Your Mind. I use this daily and I highly recommend it.
|
| Q. |
Can I pay for my course in installments? |
| A. |
No. A one time payment is required. Please read our CFTC Disclaimer linked from the bottom of my home page. You should be well capitalized to trade futures and should not be trading with money you can not afford to lose. If you can not make a one time payment, you may not be ready for trading!
|
| Q. |
What if I lose my internet connection while I am in a trade? |
| A. |
You need to CALL YOUR BROKER IMMEDIATELY. Personally, I always have a back up computer with a Verizon Internet Card ready to go in case my cable modem goes out. It’s very prudent to have a backup and have your broker's number on speed dial. I have not had this happen to me, but I am certain it could!
|
| Q. |
I know I can make money when the markets go up. Will I lose when they go down? |
| A. |
This is a good question. Of course if you are in a long trade and the market is going down – you will lose! Our Emini System alerts you to short and long trades! Of course trading involves risk and you must be willing to accept those risks before you trade with real money. If you do not understand “shorting” please check out our beginners primer.
|
| Q. |
You state the Tick Trader Day Trading Course© makes money every day, what about draw-downs? Do you have them? |
| A. |
OF COURSE! We never claim to win every trade. That’s impossible. A lot of new traders make the mistake of overleveraging their trading accounts!! I personally use a 3500:1 margin. Meaning I trade 1 contract for every $3500 in the trading account. A beginner should consider using a higher amount, such as 4000:1 or more!. Most days are quick for us. We make our money and leave the table. Other days are tough! We have to work at it! The Tick Trader Methods have had intraday drawdowns of 10 points or more—The Tick Trader Methods recovered and still made a profit. Trading is not easy. This is why The Tick Trader Day Trading Course® has very strict rules. Recovering from losing trades is a very important aspect of all trading. Our Emini course teaches how we recover from losing trades!
|
| Q. |
Do you have a Live Trading Room? |
| A. |
We do. Our Live Trading Room can be accessed by entering the Members Area. I am there just before the market opens and I stay until we are finished for the day and all questions are answered. Typically we are in the room from 9:25 AM (Eastern—just before the bell) until 10:15 - 10:30 AM Eastern
|
| Q. |
If day trading the eminis is so easy, why isn’t everyone doing it? |
| A. |
Day trading is NOT easy. If it were, everyone WOULD be doing it. Trading is risky and you must accept these risks before you trade with real money! Trading can be very lucrative. I skilled trader can make a very nice living day trading the eminis! To be a successful emini trader you need to first trade with money you can afford to lose. You must have discipline, good money management skills and a system that works! The Tick Trader Day Trading Course is a very good course that can teach you how to successfully trade the e-mini futures. But realize we cannot teach you discipline. You must learn the rules and follow them if you want to be a successful emini trader.
