I traded with various professional traders with years of experience when I first started trading at the local Tera Nova Trading Firm. After watching a young trader who barely  was 25 make over 30k in one day, and other days he would make 5k to 10k I wanted to learn what he was doing. So I mentored with him, watching him trade for months always making money. He told me it was all in the charts, reading the charts and I watched him after hours spend 2-3 hours in researching charts and stocks for the next trading day.  The next day he would wait for his stocks to hit there entry levels long or short and he constantly made money. So after watching and learning from him I developed my own trading style after what I learned from him and applied his methods. Using my own technical analysis, chart patterns, breakouts, breakdowns, upgrades, downgrades, and trading the news, and current market events.  Back in 2000 there were no really fancy indicators like you have now, support & resistance and volume and moving averages is what traders used. I then became involved in a  Online Stock Chat room.  As a Room Moderator I made stock calls during market hours on stocks trading my style, news and daily events & chart patterns. In early 2006 thru 2007 began trading futures for a hedge fund on a daily basis. But decided I liked trading on my own, alot of pressure was put on making2-5 points a day trading futures, then they wanted more now do 5 to 7 and then 10. Then 12, what 10's not enough as greed set in with these young spoiled hedge fund fools, so I quit. 

 I decided to start my own web site back in January of 2004, first with the daily alerts newsletter and trader mentoring and education to help other traders make money in the Stock Market. I then began to train and teach members and others thru mentoring on how to trade the markets daily, based on basic fundamentals, keeping it simple, easy, not overwhelming you with to much info, so the average trader can profit in the market. Trading is based all in the charts and you need a good charting program to learn charts, and basic chart patterns on a day to day basis and have a newer computer to handle the graphics and data feeds. I publish the daily newsletter based on my trading style, stock research, so others can see how to trade. As the newsletter began to gain membership, many members asked me to start the chat room, which we did in April of 2005 and its been great watching new members develop and get better in there trading style and make there daily profit goals. 

I have recently traded the Flash & Debt Crash profiting from move down and back up, I bought the lows in some of my favorite stocks, and watched rally several points going into the end of the day. Traded during the great Internet dot come era, when stocks would go up 3-7 points a day, TASR was a favorite, and also traded the Dot.com crash where all the over bloated stocks sank quickly, and the recent housing bubble and market meltdown with the banking crisis, nice short in the bank stocks CFC sank from the mid 30's to the single digits.  So I have been there and experienced it all, in my trading career, I have been there and traded it, and can trade any type of market long or short. And with the development of our priority indicators that have been custom designed by me and our programmers to identify trade setups, it makes our trading more easier and profitable.  

Trading stocks is not a get rich quick plan, you have to put in your time to learn. It takes about two years to really understand the markets and stocks, so its like an education. Don't think just because you got a brokerage account, your going to buy RIMM and hold onto it all day and make money not in today's market. That was the 90's style of trading. Any world events or news could cause your RIMM to lose a point. And then you buy more thinking it cant go lower, and then it does, and your stomach sinks.
