Frequently Asked Questions

What is so special about trendlines?

Having been around since the 1800s, trendlines provide a dynamic way to trade, i.e. the bounce, the break and retest, and my preference, the break. Although I am familiar with the other two, I chose to focus on and only thoroughly learn one, keeping in mind the 1:1:1 rule, which emphasizes success comes with focusing on one instrument (or at least the same few as in my case I do like to have a diverse portfolio), one timeframe (the 5 minute, though you are welcome to trade any timeframe you wish once becoming profitable and 'graduating' from the 5 minute), and one strategy setup (the break in this case). "Be okay at three, good at two, or great at one."

Does your strategy work on Forex, Futures, Options, or Stocks?

I focus on Futures, a derivative available for trading in the market with one of the lowest entry barriers when it comes to capital, in addition to attractive leverage ratios. Unlike stocks, you do not need $25,000 to day trade them, and are offered much more leverage. However, my strategy can be applied to all charts and you are welcome to trade whichever you prefer. Although, my recommendation, if you are going to go with a prop firm, is futures. Different prop firms have different rules, and the prop firm I am familiar with, therefore can help guide you through, is a futures prop firm.

Do I have to have any prior knowledge?

No- when it comes to any questions you have on understanding the strategy, I will work with you from the ground up and am happy to walk you through the process. You may reach out to me with questions indefinitely, call, text, or email. I am available 7 days a week, 8A-9P CST.

How much capital do I need to start with?

Only after you have proven yourself profitable for at least a month on a practice account, I recommend no less than $5,000. However, if you don't have that amount, or do but want to be making bigger trades, therein securing more profit, there is such a thing as a prop firm, allotting you a lot more capital for the price of a few hundred dollars, where you split profits.

Isn't trading gambling?

If you don't have a proven strategy/edge combined with proper risk management, yes. However, if you do, because we are working with probabilities, it is possible to be profitable overall long-term. I know because I've done it, as well as countless others.  You will always lose in trading, but the goal is for your wins to consistently outweigh your losses.
