    #009 - Finding Your Trading Mindset

    It happens to many new (and seasoned) traders. You convince yourself that you need to participate in a particular trade only to find it doesn’t work. You start adding indicators and making it more complicated. You throw money at it, but still, it’s just not working. Some instruments just aren’t great to trade and sometimes you need to find a trade that better resonates with your approach to the markets. Today, I had a chance to speak with Pablo Lucena who is an experienced trader but has found some serious traction with my Apex Program. We cover a lot of information, but here are some of my favorite topics: Building tools for the tradeHow to trade stock optionsRelative Value Trading StrategyThe most important information for managing options positions - Scalping GammaChanging your approach to trading 1:00   Serious, Active, Trading 3:30   The Rubber Band Example 5:00   The "ah ha" moment 5:55   “Nothing would work” - Trading NQ futures 7:00   An approach to writing code 8:25   The elimination of emotion, A systematic confirmation tool 10:00  A community feel 11:45  A message to retail traders 12:55  Don't Freak out, Build a better position 14:00  How to trade the Yield Curve 14:30  “Stops are detrimental for the type of trading that will make me successful” 16:00  The Fed, Rates and trading Bond Futures 18:20  Sometimes it’s safer to go further in 19:20  Power through education 21:30  Learn how to trade; Don’t hope for the best 24:30  How to build a portfolio bias 28:00  Build on a solid foundation 30:00  Fed Dominator - Historical Data 32:00  The Most Rewarding Part of Trading 33:15  Better returns in 24 days than all of 2017 34:00  ADT: You'll never look at trading the same again 35:20  It's okay to get rid of negative energy 37:20  Be happy when a trade goes against you 40:00  What a butterfly can tell you 44:35  Customize a trade, use identify your strengths 47:00  Trade your personality 48:20  The Market will sniff out a weak hand; believe in your trade 50:30  Scalping Gamma: Options 101 52:00  Position Management and the power of options: A Game Changer 56:00  Keep it simple!

    #007 - Helping the Self-Directed Trader for Over 30 Years

    For years, trading has been dominated by institutions. They have capital, floor traders and access to information that the average retail investor just can’t reach; or can’t afford. Today, the tables are turning. The retail trader can actually gain an edge. For instance, a retail trader isn’t required to trade each day, they don’t have to close positions with market each evening and now, they have access to amazing news resources, indicators, studies, scans and back-testing engines using various tools on platforms like MetaStock. Today, I get to chat with Jeff Gibby, the business development manager at Metastock about the core products they offer. Jeff helps me answer questions like: > What does MetaStock Offer? > How can I get a statistical forecast of what “might happen?” >Buying and selling stock options and equities; what indicators work? >How can I build a custom indicator without knowing a single line of code? >What can I do to protect myself from making big mistakes while learning to trade? 01:35150 Years and counting 02:30What is Meta Stock? 03:40The Origins of an award winning service 04:05A Billion Dollar News Machine for Retail Traders 06:35#1 in Stock and Commodities Magazine for 25 years running 07:15How can you benefit from Statistical Projections and Forecasting 07:30Okay, MetaStock does a lot, but WHO is it for? 08:30 Do you backtest your approach, studies and strategy on each ticker? 09:45A giant tool box; what’s the best indicator? 11:50Write YOUR OWN indicator, scan, or study (even if you don’t write code) 15:25A FREE 30 Day Trial! 17:00Live support; an entire team at your disposal 800-882-3040 18:31MetaStock D/C Service - Daily Charts $59 19:05MetaStock R/T Service - Real Time $99 20:50Everything you’ve ever needed to know about Exchange Fees (Real-time) 22:15The (Secret) Future of Charting 24:00The Patent Pending, Event Driven Forecasting Tool 26:15A confirmation tool: the statistical likelihood of an outcome 28:15Trading DOW Options?

    #005 - Are You Overpaying Your Futures Broker on Margin?

    At Active Day Trader we don’t see how anything is “cheap” or “expensive” on it’s own. A core part of our strategy is identifying relationships and correlations, then finding the best way to express our opinion through hedged positions in the form of pairs or spreads. We recognize the reluctance that many face when learning to trade futures; the margin requirements can be substantial, so we want to let you in on a secret! If you aren’t executing these simple strategies with the correct broker, you may be lead to believe there is a reason to pay for extinct indicators to experiment with “directional bias” or just give-in overpriced margin holds that tie up your precious trading capital. Today, I spoke with Patrick from Infinity Futures, a Chicago-based boutique brokerage firm that truly supports clients around the globe. Patrick helps me get a better understanding on topics like: >> Margin requirements and Exchange Recognized Spreads >> Why your 1:1 pair shouldn’t tie up $10K >> Risk, obligations and the intelligent way to trade futures >> The seemingly endless cycle of retail education >> Why support is so important 00:30 Risk, leverage and mathematics 03:00 Guaranteed Margin 03:40 Infinity Futures; A quick history 04:45 End-of-day margin hunting: Exchange Recognized Spreads 05:15 Bond:Ultra Bond - $10,000 or $1500? 07:30 SPAN, SCM and the lowest margin requirement 09:18 You don’t have to speculate on direction 11:20 “An underused strategy” 13:25 SPAN Calculators - An intelligent freebie 15:30 Risk, obligations and respect 18:15 A sucker’s play: Is your capital tied up? 21:00 Is the new iPhone expensive? 23:00 The importance of retail education, Jim Cramer and BIG changes 27:00 Don’t fall into the cycle, keep it simple 30:30 The market will change. Does your indicator? 31:40 A ratio set indicator - the longest correlated relationship? 33:00 Everyone needs support 36:00 The UK, Australia and Singapore 38:00 Liquidity and orderbook issues 40:30 Bonds: You MUST know the yield curve 42:20 Free Stuff! 42:50 Vetting Process and parallel beliefs 45:45 Ask us your questions!
