"I received your C$C course yesterday. I have to
tell you, it is opening my eyes to a lot of
different trading methodologies. I have actually
been trading commodities on and off since 1997. I've
read many books, but nothing as complete as your
commodities course. I want to thank you for money
well spent. I am looking forward to the release of
your Common $ense Commodities CD."

Each seminar is limited to a maximum of 15 people
(with the exception of the seminar in Toronto which is sponsored by Refco
Canada where we will
allow a few more to attend since this is a special one-time event).
These are more like workshops than seminars. Due to the limited seating,
refunds are not available. However, if you buy a seminar
ticket and can't attend for some reason, you can attend another one at
anytime within the next 12 months for free.
Have you ever wanted to sit side-by-side with me for
two days and have me show you step-by-step how to trade? Well, now’s your
chance; but ONLY if you are one of the first 15 people to register.
If you have not been to one of my seminars, I think
that you would really like it. We have a lot of fun, learn more than you
think you will, and we all leave having made new friends and trading
buddies. Out of everything that I do, I like doing the seminars the best. We
really do have a good time and it’s a great learning environment.
The seminars are two days, Saturday & Sunday in
select cities in the USA and Canada and Europe.

Day 1 - Saturday - 9:00
AM till 5:00 PM |
 | How To Find Which Markets To Trade:
This may seem easy, but in reality it’s one of the
more difficult parts of trading. If you are in the wrong markets, you will
probably not make any profits and will most likely lose money. First and
foremost, you MUST be trading the right markets.
|
| How Much Of Your Account Should You Be Trading?
Proper money management is critical. Most
professional traders will tell you that this is the MOST important part of
trading. Without good money management techniques, you might as well just
throw your money away.
|
| Catching The Trend:
This sounds easy doesn’t it? Well, it isn’t, and if
you are entering the market on the wrong side of the trend, it can really
hurt. Learn how to tell which way the trend is going, when to get in, and
when to get out.
|
| Identifying Patterns Quickly:
Have you ever found yourself trading, just to be
trading? Well, you won’t last long doing this, I promise. You have to have a
good reason to trade a contract, along with a good plan, or you should not
be trading it at all. Chart Patterns are one of the tried and true methods
of trading profitably. You MUST be able to wait for a correct pattern to
develop. But this is just part of it.
|
| The Key Indicators:
Which indicators do you use? Are they the right
ones? Come and find out which indicators work best and why. If you don’t
know how to trade using the indicators as a tool, either you are not trading
much, or you probably aren’t making much. Indicators are some of the most
important tools a trader has.
|
| Using Patterns Along With The Proper Indicators:
Once you have identified a Pattern, do the Indicators line up and give
you the same signal? You must learn to use Chart Patterns and
Indicators as a confirmation tool.
|
|
|
Day 2 -
Sunday – 9:00 AM till 4:00 PM |
| Calculating Risk / Reward Ratios:
Know which market you want to enter is only the
first step. Next you MUST figure out your Risk / Reward ratios. You have to
know when to get in, when to get out if the market goes against you, when to
ad on and when to take a profit. If you are not doing this correctly, you
will not make money in the markets.
|
| Entering The Market:
Sounds easy doesn’t it? Well it’s an important part
of trading and if you don’t get in at the right time, and at the right
price, it could mean the difference in making money and losing money on the
trade. Also, entering at the correct price is one of the major differences
between profitable traders and unprofitable traders.
|
| Cutting Losses and Adding To Your Winners:
To make money in the markets, I think everyone will
agree that you have to cut your losses and add to your winners. How you do
this is the issue. Learn first hand when to get out of a market with small
losses or how to stay in the markets and add profitably to you winners. This
may very well be the most important thing you learn during these two days.
|
| Putting It All Together:
Now that you have gone through all this, it’s time
to put it all together. I tell everyone that trading is like putting a
puzzle together. Each piece correctly put in place helps one see the overall
“big picture” better. Once you see the big picture, you should be well on
your way to being a successful trader.
|
| In General
I know that there are a lot of seminars to choose
from and I’m sure there are some other good ones you could attend. Heck,
there are even some seminars that I would like to attend with you!
|
| The question is, why come to this one?
Of course, this is a decision that only you can or
should make; I can’t do it for you. I can tell you that I’ve been to some
seminars that aren’t worth the gas I used to drive across town to get to,
while others were pretty good but certainly weren’t for everyone. I was even
lost about what they were talking about in some of them, and I consider
myself fairly astute in this area. |
I can tell you that my seminars are about as close
to one-on-one training as you will probably ever see; at least I try and
make them that way. The whole seminar is done “live” using Gecko Charts.
I know that some people that do seminars used
“canned” charts. You know, charts that they know beforehand what’s going to
happen, and then they apply their techniques to them and they look like a
hero. To me that’s not being real honest, but it’s done all the time.
The trading that I will do at the seminar
is not “canned” and the class picks the contracts and I trade them. These
are charts from any dates in the past, not just current charts. This way, I
don't know what the markets did and can't "cheat" because I knew what the
market was going to do. I make money on some and lose money on some, but
I've always been able to make a good deal more than I lost. To me, this is
putting it on the line. I've always done it this way, and I always will. Of
course, since the markets are not open on the weekends, these trades can't
be made in real-time, so they aren't actual trades being placed during the
seminar. But, it's the closest thing I can do to show you how to trade when
the markets are open.
After I’ve shown everyone how I think you
should trade, then it’s your turn. Each student gets a chance (if you want
to) to come to the front of the class and show everyone else how much
they’ve learned by doing some “live” trades like I was doing. I think this is the
most fun part of the seminar.
I know there are seminars that are being put on that
allow 200 to 300 people to attend. Talking about just being a number! I
don’t see how anyone would consider paying good money to go to these but I
guess they do. I limit my seminars to a maximum of 15 people. That’s right,
15!
It’s more of a workshop environment than a seminar.
Have a question? It gets answered before you leave. Have questions after the
seminar? Just pick up the phone and call me.
Hopefully, you will be able to attend one of my
seminars. I know that you will enjoy it if you come. I’ve tried to make it
affordable for the students, yet make it worthwhile for me to do. The total
cost of the seminar is just $800 for both days for students.
You can pay for it with credit card by
clicking the appropriate link in the box below; or with a check or money
order by sending it to me at the address at the bottom. Students who have
attended a seminar in the past may attend another one (room permitting) for
½ price! Non-students pay 1,000.00.
Every time I do a seminar, I have someone who asks
if they can make payments or something, so I guess I might as well address
that now. Yep! Just click the appropriate link in the box below and you can
sign up to have your credit card billed monthly at $200 per month. Remember
though, you get the CD collection free if you pay for the seminar IN FULL
before the seminar date!
|
Seminar will start at 9:00 AM each day, go till about
5:00 on Saturday and 4:00 PM on Sunday. No need to bring anything except maybe a note
pad, as I record it all and burn it onto CD's and send to you. Let me know
if you have any questions, and I hope to see you at one of the upcoming
seminars.
Tickets are $1,000 for non-students and $800 for existing students.
Non-Students also receive the entire 450 page printed
CSC course with the 10 hour long CD ROM video collection for free.
Payment terms of just $200 are available also. Anyone who has attended a
previous seminar can attend another one for only $400.
