I was at the library last night dropping off some Wii games I checked out for the kids (I’d hate to spend $50 on a game they end up not liking) and while I was there I went trolling for books to read.  I got a couple on marketing and advertising; I’d like to learn how to spread my message better.  Thanks to the Dewey Decimal System I ended up getting The Four Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferrriss.  I’m through the first 60 pages or so, so I don’t yet have a full review, but the book got me to thinking.

One theme in many of these lifestyle books is “follow your bliss”.  I also know that a good way to come up with the idea for a business is to come up with something to help people solve their problems. For me, the nexus of these two ideas is behind Swing Trader’s Insight.  Let me explain.

I like writing and teaching about trading.  When writing a blog post I lose track of time; it’s engrossing in an enjoyable way.  I believe my writing helps traders become better at what they do, hopefully helping them accomplish more in less time while trading.  It is my hopes that what I write helps my readers enjoy trading more.  We spend too much time doing things we don’t want to do. Voluntary activities like trading should be enjoyable, otherwise, why do it?

At the same time, I believe the concepts I teach in Swing Trader’s Insight can be invaluable for new traders looking for a trading method, or more experienced traders who are frustrated with their results.  If you fit either of these categories, here’s what STI can do for you:

  • Do you feel like you’re always buying when you should be selling, or vice versa?  It’s not you fault. Markets fool traders into doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Swing Trader’s Insight helps put you “in sync” with market cycles.
  • Have you spent money for trading courses, seminars, and “experts” trading systems, only to find them too complicated to use, or worse, find they don’t live up to their billing?  The method you learn in Swing Trader’s Insight is simple to understand and implement.

In addition, all the education I provide in Swing Trader’s Insight is free.  Why? Because I want to help traders, and I want your futures business.  As long as you have an account open with me, you get free unrestricted access to all the resources I provide through STI, and I will work with you personally to help you improve your trading. I’ll “have your back” to help you reach your potential as a trader.

  • Do you want to be freed up to do other things during the trading day?  With the STI method, there is one play per market, per day, and we generally look to enter trades early in a trading session.  No staring at a 3 minute chart all day.
  • Do you lack discipline and patience in your trading? STI has clearly defined entry and risk parameters.  As you learn how this method works, you’ll learn to wait for the right setups.  By learning to anticipate where the market will go, you will have the confidence to do the right thing at the right time. If there’s no setup, there’s no trade. Go out and enjoy yourself!
  • Do you have limited trading capital or risk tolerance, but want to trade the futures?  With STI, your risk is limited. By entering near market turns, you have defined, limited risk.  You don’t have to have ‘deep pockets’ to participate.
  • Do you want to diversify your trading? The STI method is applicable to any futures market.  Trade where the opportunities lie.
