THE ULTIMATE DAY TRADING METHOD

MY BLOG

PLEASE UNDERSTAND, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, I AM NOT ABLE TO POST OUR ENTRIES OR TIMES OF TRADES. WHAT WE HAVE IS A TERRIFIC METHOD. SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES.

Going back a number of years, a friend of mine owned a print shop. The graphics and printing industry was changing. The medium sized as well the small mom and pop printing shops were being fazed out by technology and computer graphics. My friend said it was just a phase and he resisted the inevitable and refused to be retrained. Well, he was left behind. The day trading business is no different. The days of fibonacci, rsi, crossing lines, and all the other indicators are long gone. They just do not work on a consistent basis, and as a result, traders continue to lose money. Do you see a parallel between the old printing business and trading? If you are going to use the old tools along with the old indicators, your results will be the same. I realize it is difficult to give up charting packages, indicators and the such. But if they are not allowing you to become profitable, then why are you still using them? EMINISCALP is a new and improved method of day trading that takes advantage of the market dynamics. You may love that old rusted out Ford, but if it's unreliable and keeps on breaking down, give it the deserved burial and move ahead.

"I'm getting more and more comfortable with trading using the Eminiscalp method. The last few days have been good, 7-10 points each day with a single contract just trading premarket and 1st 45 minutes of open. (8:30-10:15 EST) Also have been picking up another 3-5 points trading last 1-1.5 hours of trading day. I'm getting better at anticipating when to take my profit. Thanks for the great method".

I realize I have not written much in this blog the latter part of this year. But, I have been writing, and this has taken some of my free time. This will probably be my last blog post this year but I will try and write more in 2014, depending upon other responsibilities. Apparently I do have a following, as I have received quite a few emails asking when I will post again. My book has done quite well this year, so there are those who have a thirst for knowledge. I have spent time writing articles for TradersWorld magazine this year as well as putting together a couple of webinars. I also have a chapter in each of the last two books published by TradersWorld. I must say, this has been a fantastic year, better than I had ever anticipated. Goals were set when Andrea and I created EminiScalp.com, and these goals have been met and surpassed a long time ago.

As most of you know, I am not an indicator trader. NONE of my entry methods require the use of any type of lines crossing, bollinger bands, MA's, CCI's, regression channels, etc., no matter what you may have heard or read somewhere. Not that there is a problem using indicators, as most traders rely on them.
In any case, have a great New Year and I want to thank the thousands of EminiScalp traders who have made EminiScalp successful, resulting in your success as well. There is no substitute for hard work and determination.

I know, it has been quite a while since I last posted, but I have not been idle. I wrote a chapter for the TradersWorld Expo #13 Kindle Book, Finding Your Trading Method. I also did a webinar for the Expo as well as an article in issue #55 of TradersWorld Magazine. Currently I am working on an article for the next Kindle Book Edition for the TradersWorld Expo #14, as well as a webinar for this Expo and an article for the next mgazine edition. Along with my managed fund as well as personal stuff, time is flying by.

The goal of EminiScalp is simplicity in trading. I have written about this a number of times over the past years. But, it seems as though many traders thrive on the complicated. A trader does not need to watch multiple charts with a tons of indicators. I am not saying trading is easy, but it will always seem that way for the majority because of the overload. But, until the well over 90% who are not successful, view the markets in a different light, nothing is going to change. I attended a private trading seminar a little while ago and a good number of participants claim that market manipulation is the cause of traders not being able to trade successfully. The markets are not manipulated at all, as they do the same things every day, just the numbers change. Attempting to view the market as a whole and being concerned about what the news will be, can cause a lot of confusion. It may be easier for a trader to just trade the chart. If this is done, it does not matter what the overall conditions are, as your chart will tell you what to do. This information is discussed and written in detail on this site, as well as in the TradersWorld Expos.

I realize it has been a while since I wrote last. I participated in the Traders World Online Expo #13 and I have to say, I was overwhelmed with the response, much more than I could ever anticipate. This kept me quite busy and I am happy to say that there are many more EminiScalp traders in the markets as I write. All participants in the Expo #13 received a discount on all of our EminiScalp products. I just completed a follow up article for Traders World Magazine, issue #55. If anyone would like to take advantage of the discounts I offer, you may want to read this article. There is a specific link mentioned that will direct you to a page with the discounts. I am not sure when the article will be out, but I sure it will be very soon. This offer does have a time limit.

Have a great day.

There has been a price increase for the EminiScalp Pilot. Anyone currently in a trial as of June 10, 2013 will be grandfathered in to the previous price as long as a purchase is made within 30 days of the date of the end of the trial period. Also, the free trial is over. I had written that the trial was for a limited time and it actually went on longer that I had anticipated. The EminiScalp Pilot is still available, but not with a trial. The interest in the Pilot exceeded my expectations and I thank those who moved forward. I am sure you are very pleased, as what you received exceeded your expectations.

Below is a shot of a 1 minute ES chart from this morning showing the EminiScalp Pilot. Nothing unusual here, we do get very nice signals, not only on the ES, but other markets as well. As I have written many times, the trader does not have to know how to trade, the Pilot knows where the entries are. But, the trader must be familiar with his or her market. There are times during the day that entries should not be taken and where a trader should stand aside. All of this can be set up on the EminiScalp Pilot. Have a great weekend.

It certainly has been a while since I wrote last, and I probably would not be posting today if I did not get a call from one of our traders last night. Of course, I would have posted eventually, but working on other stuff takes quite a bit of time. In any case, John called me to tell me just how excited and pleased he is with my EminiScalp Pilot. He took the trial a while back and then he came aboard. He has been with us for a few weeks now and he actually called to see if I was away since I have not posted. To make a long story short, he said he was going to email me and that I should post it if I wanted to. Well, I received his email this morning and here it is:

Good morning Al,

A quick note to say kudos. I have purchased a decent number of methods over the years and I have as of yet to send an email to anyone regarding how pleased I am, except for now. I won't bore you with the details, but once I was set up with the YM and NQ, and got my trade management to my liking, the Pilot did the rest. I readily admit that I have issues with pulling the trigger, the Pilot helped reduce much of the anxiety. It is just great, I can't thank you enough.

Regards,

John

Well, back to work.

It has been a while since my last post, I try to write but then I get busy. In any case, there has been a price increase for the EMINISCALP PILOT. Go to the EMINISCALP PILOT page and click on the pricing folder for information. Why did I raise the price? Because it is well worth the increase, in fact, it is worth more. I have been getting great reviews, many of which have stated that the PILOT is "worth much more, " and that "I am not charging enough," etc. and so on. So, why not. But, for those presently in a trial as well as those who take the trial by the end of March, you will pay the previous price if purchased.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
March 16, 2013

It certainly has been a while since I last wrote. Time just seems to get away from me, but it has been busy, no complaints about that. I believe that most traders use some type an indicator for their trading. In many cases, there are those traders who use a ton of indicators. I have seen charts of traders that had so many indicators that it was actually difficult to see the price bars. When I first started out I used indicators because that seemed to be the way to go. Over time, I realized that trading is about levels and not about lines crossing, price touching a band or a line crossing 0. What do I mean when I say levels? When I say levels, I mean critical trade areas. How does one determine trade areas? In my humble opinion, you need to put in the screen time and be observant in regard to what price does and where price goes. The problem is that there are those traders who are unable to put the time in because of a variety of factors. They may work all day and when they come home they have other obligations. By the time they have an opportunity to look over their charts, they may be exausted. Then you have those who may get frustrated quickly if they are unable to grasp a concept immediately. I am sure there are a ton of reasons why it is difficult for some to trade price alone and this is why many prefer indicators. I will just enter when the 5 period MA crosses the 9 period MA. If stuff like this worked then it would be 10% of all traders who are not successful and not the present 90% +. When the studies show that most successful traders use only price, then this says something about the use of indicators. This is not to say that there are not successful traders who use indicators as I am sure there are. But I also have to believe that the indicator is not the only thing they are looking at. So, what could they be looking at? Price of course.
Have a great weekend

I received the following comment around noon today regarding the EMINISCALP PILOT. Chris B. began his trial on FEB 8. By the way, I post only with the permission of those who make the comments. I do have others, but I have not asked if I could post. In any case, here it is:

"Hi Al, My trial is about to expire and I need your info so that I can wire the funds. The eminiscalp pilot is a keeper and I am thrilled."

There is more but I believe you get the idea.

Received this today:

"Al, it has been about 5 days so far and I have to say thatI love your Eminiscalp Pilot. It certainly trades better than I do!!! I followed your suggestions on the documentation and I am very pleased. Never thought it could be done. Cheers, Mike"

There is more to the conversation, but this gives readers an idea of what we have. I like what he says "trades better than I do". That is the goal, take out the emotion and rule following. I know what the EMINISCALP PILOT can do, and now so do you. Made my day.

Below is a screen shot of a CL chart from this morning, right after the open showing the EMINISCALP PILOT Auto Trade. The arrows show the entry bar and the entry areas are marked with a blue line. There would have been profit on every arrow. Any arrows that may appear while in an auto trade is explained in the doc and has no affect on the trade.The yellow area to the left is when the NEWS times are activated. The area becomes yellow as the bars are printed. Arrows will still appear if the conditions are met, but there will be no entries unless they are taken manually. As shown, a nice long appeared right after the NEWS time closed. Right click on the chart image and select the appropriate view to enlarge.

I added another CL chart from just after lunch. Oops, we had a stop here, bound to happen. The other entries were pretty straight foward with only one going against us 4 ticks before it came back in our direction.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
FEBRUARY 10, 2013

I have had many traders ask me what is the per centage of wins that they can expect with my methods. Firstly, I don't consider what I do as "wins," as this term gives the impression of gambling. But, no matter what you may call it, this question is not easy to answer. The PLUS, LTD and ATA are rule based methods. The EminiScalp Pilot is a mechanical method. In regard to rule based methods, my rules are common sense trading rules. But, my experience over the years has shown me that there are those who are not able to follow rules. When over 90% of traders are not successful and whereas many have spent thousand upon thousands of dollars on various methods without worthwhile results, is really the methods or the rule following? With well over 2200 of my methods in the market place, there will always be those few who just are not able to follow rules or understand the trading concept. When someone asks what is the win rate, this is the same as a person buying a golf club and asking the seller just how far he will hit the golf ball. How can this be determined? In regard to trading, I am unaware of who you are, what your learning capabilities are, what your attention span is and if you get frustrated easily. As you may be aware, I have taught for many years, both young adults and adults. If someone can not follow rules, or is not able to be focused or disciplined in their chosen field, it does not mean that they will not succeed. They may not be successful in one field, but it does not mean they will not be successful in another. In regard to trading, if one has issues with determining set up and target areas, which are created my the market, and if there is a problem with entering a trade and if emotions rule the personality, then you may want to look at a mechanical type method, one which removes the emotion. If you have spent years with various methods without the results that you want, then maybe it is not the method. There is nothing wrong with not being able to trade successfully, as not everyone can be successful at trading. You may be very good at something else. But if you insist on staying in the trading business, then you may want to consider a method that can help remove the emotion and can automatically determine set up and targets for you, such as the EMINISCAlP PILOT. I am not saying that this will resolve all of your trading issues, but it certainly may be able to help.

The BOOK page is back up as my book needed some revisions, which were finally completed. Also, our EMINISCALP PILOT Auto Trade is now available. Click on the EMINISCALP PILOT link for details.

JANUARY 31, 2013

In regard to the EminiScalp Pilot Auto Trade, I have posted 3 charts from today, a 6E, CL and a YM respectively. The arrows show the bar the trades were taken on and the blue line shows the area of entry. Any arrow that appears while a trade is on has no bearing on the trade. The EminiScalp Pilot also allows for manual entries as well.

JANUARY 28, 2013

I realize it has been a while since my last post, and even though I did say I would make the attempt to write more often, it has been busy and time just seems to get away from me. In any case, our auto trade is completed, just setting up the parameters, getting it licensed with NinjaTrader, and getting the strategy secured. Not to far away. I could post charts all day long, similar to the ones posted previously, but the only way you will experience this gem is to use it. So, there will be a free trial, just not certain how long, but I am thinking 14 days or so. This strategy will be called the EMINISCALP PILOT, and it is a thing of beauty. For those who have a difficult time taking a trade and an even a more difficult time knowing where to enter a trade, our EMINISCALP PILOT may be just what you are looking for. Personally I believe our EMINISCALP PILOT trades better than most humans. But you should be able to determine this if you are one of those who takes part in our trial. I am working on the EMINISCALP PILOT page now.

I have included pre market CL chart below. I have arrows pointing to the entry arrows and blue lines showing the entry areas. Of course not all entries are successful, but in my opinion you probably will not be as successful taking manual trades. With proper management, you should be pleasantly surprised. May start the weekend early, so enjoy yours.

THURSDAY
JANUARY 17, 2013

I have included a Gold chart below from this morning. The blue line represents the area of entry. Of course there will be stops, but I sincerely believe, as per what has been going on the past months, that our new auto trade is probably much better in determining entry areas as well as taking these entries than doing it manually. No emotion, just let it do it's thing. Over the next week I will be giving some details in regard to some of the options that make up our strategy. The arrows show the entry bars. Right click on the chart image and select view to enlarge.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
JANUARY 14, 2013

Firstly, I have added the following charts, showing our new auto trade. The entries are on the bar with the arrow. These charts are from today, and even with a narrow range market, such as the ES, we still can see entries. The charts are in this order; CL, NQ, YM and ES. Right click on the chart, select a menu item for a larger view. I have a filter or 2 to work on as well as the licensing and security to add. I also am working on a few revisions of my book. The content is the same, but since I am more technical than I am a writer, I did notice a few things that I want to change. You can read the content a dozen times and still miss something. Just like looking at charts I guess. Many traders will stare at a chart day after day and see nothing. I believe my new auto trade can certainly help.

______________________________________________________

FRIDAY
JANUARY 11, 2013

It was a very nice week and hopefully yours was as well. I wanted to get back to those who were on my wait list in regard to our Auto Trade. I believe I have either spoken with or emailed all, but just in case I missed someone, I want to post an update here. As I had mentioned, our original EminiScalp Auto Trade was acquired by the JPM Global Fund, a hedge fund investment group I am part of and have been working with for some time now. The acquisition was a nice surprise for me, but not necessarily for EminiScalp Traders. Once they had it, I was not able to distribute it any further. The group did a rework on it to meet their needs as their trading objective is somewhat different from most retail traders. So, it is not available at all but, there is good news. I have been working on another Auto Trade with my group. It is my belief that if an entity like a bank or investement group has a program that helps them make money, this program stays in house, as there is no reason to distribute it, and this I certainly understand. In any case, this new Auto Trade, in my opinion, is absolutley sensational, and will become available to a few through EminiScalp. I will be adding updates periodically.

Have a great weekend.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and that 2013 brings you good health and happiness. I will try and be more diligent in writing more often. I certainly have a lot to say but I don't always get to post for one reason or another. Hopefully you can begin 2013 with a good handle on your trading. If by chance you can SIM trade successfully, then there is no reason to look for any other method. It is not about the method, it is about the confidence and unfortunately some traders may never overcome this emotional blockage. For some, it just takes time. If your goal is to trade with consistent profitability, then just put the time in and practice. Too many traders feel, for some reason, that trading is one of the only professions where work should not be a requirement to make money. Also, in my humble opinion, you should stay away from the indicators. As mentioned a number of times, yes, there are those who can trade successfully using indicators, but in reality, there is more to it than that. The focus should be on the price and breaking past habits may be very difficult. I hope to elaborate on this in the days to come, as well as other very interesting topics.

PERSEVERANCE - DETERMINATION - TENACITY

As 2012 comes to a close, I certainly hope all of you had a great year. Personally, this was probably one of the best years I have ever experienced. When I began EminiScalp.com back in March of 2009, I had a few specific goals in mind, of which all have been reached well before I thought they would, with one being only to continue EminiScalp for three years, which was one year beyond my retirement. There is more to accomplish, so only time will tell where we go from here. Between my involvement with the JPMGF Hedge Fund as well as EminiScalp, it has been a banner year and I expect 2013 to surpass 2012. Andrea and I have specific plans, one of which is to build another home in our resort area of Delaware. We acquired the property and now the next phase will begin. I sincerely hope that your goals were met and that you also have a great 2013.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
DECEMBER 22, 2012

I have been receiving quite a few inquiries regarding the EminiScalp Auto Trade and I believe I have responded to most of you. But, just in case you have not received an email from me, here is the update. I have been part of an investment group and have been with them for quite a while now. The group, JPMGF out of NYC has been working with the EminiScalp Auto Trade and we did some rework on it. Those who had purchased the strategy received the updates and I am sure you are more than thrilled. But, the EminiScalp Auto Trade has been acquired by the group and since it is theirs, it is no longer available, at least for the time being. I say for the time being because there are some other things in the works that may become available after the New Year. But, some of you who have been emailing me often to ask about the availability, I do appreciate your tenacity, and as such, I am trying to work out some details. Hey, I am a capitalist, and since this group is a powerful entity in the market place, I could not turn down their offer. For those of you who had faith and purchased the EminiScalp Auto Trade when it was offered, well, I am sure this may have been the best investment you have ever made. I will try to write a few more times before the end of the year, as I do have some interesting items to talk about.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
DECEMBER 10, 2012

This is strange, me writing on a Monday. In any case, I just wanted to add a few comments in regard to what I wrote on the WEEKEND EDITION yesterday, which is just below this post. I have talked about the use of indicators throughout this website and how I feel that there is not an indicator or a series of indicators available that will allow for consistent profitability. Now, don't get me wrong, I am sure that there are those few indicator traders who do well, but for the most part, the large majority of indicator traders are struggling. If they weren't struggling, they would not be hanging around chat rooms, forums and webinars. Any trader who has a good handle on a method and is profitable would be foolish to look for something else. What would be the point? You stick with what makes you profitable. I have read in a variety of periodicals that studies have been done in regard to the success of indicator traders compared to price action traders. From my observations, traders who are successful are those who trade price action. In otherwords, they trade the price. So, as I see it, for all of those traders who have been trading with indicators over the past 3,4,5 or more years, may not have a good handle on your market because you have been watching an indicator and not the price. Price is all that matters. Of course, there will be those who do not agree, I understand this. But, I am not the one who did all these studies. So, when a trader says he or she has been trading for X amount of years, it may not mean that much as far as market knowledge, because the focus was on something that has nothing to do with what makes the market do what it does. As mentioned earlier, there are those indicator traders who may do just fine, but when the majority of traders are not successful and they are the ones who are using indicators, what does that tell you? I realize change is difficult, but necessary, assuming you are looking to be profitable.
If you look below, I have a screen shot of a CL chart. If you look at the upper right hand corner, you will see a series of colored boxes. This is where I take my entries for this particular method, one of the newer methods I am currently working on. I like to have a portion of 2 or 3 charts up, one overlaying the other, as this is all that is needed. Since I use tick charts, if I try and put 2 or more in one window, one of them will be deformed. This is an issue that Ninja is aware of, as the multiple charts in one window is not designed for tick charts. By having the custom entry buttons right on the chart, I have a clean screen, as I don't have the chart trader taking up most of the screen space as well has having to deal with the DOM overlaying my chart. There is no need for market depth, etc. I just "read" the price. Right now I use market orders, which are just fine, as you can see. I can take my entries and exits right from the screen as well as toggle from ON and OFF right from the screen as well. I can also set it to be LIVE in the market or I can select the SIM mode. Soon, I may be adding STOP and LIMIT buttons as well. I love to scalp, and this is just perfect, but you can trail, or do whatever you have your ATM Strategy set for. This entry-exit configuration is not part of any particular method or system. It is just a more convenient way of entering and exiting trades, both LIVE and SIM without having to deal with the DOM or Chart Trader box. It will work fine for any market and for anyone who uses NinjaTrader. When you see your set up, click the buy or sell button then let your ATM strategy do the rest, ot hit the close button to exit the trade.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
DECEMBER 8, 2012

It has been quite a while since I wrote a weekend edition, but time certainly does have a way of moving along. As we are getting close to the end of 2012, I certainly hope you had a great year. I spoke with a fellow the other day whose year started great, but was ending on a sour note. He had received word that his company was closing down and he would be out of a job by January 2013. He was going to receive a severence package, but it was a mere pittance, as he was not with this company long. He now needs another source of income. So, he looks over my site and contacts me. We discuss trading and he mentions that he has been trading part time for about 6 years, and along the way he has purchased a good number of methods, but nothing has worked for him. During our conversation, he tells me that if he is to purchase my methods, he has to be profitable by January, and if this is not possible then he will find a method that will make him profitable by then. Well, good luck in your search. This fellow says he has been trading for 6 years with poor results and now he thinks he will be able to find a method that will guarantee profitability in 30 days? This is not only ridiculous, it is desperate. And the last thing you want to be is a desperate trader. I am not saying that a trader can not be profitable in that amount of time, but in reality, it is not probable, especially when you have been trading for all those years with nothing to show for it. I certainly can understand this fellow's concern about his loss of income, but when you desire a full time steady income with only 30 days of effort, even assuming you are disciplined and focused, then you are being absolutely illogical. Remember, less than 10% of those who trade see success, which means that over 90% of those who trade will not be successful. In my humble opinion, what is being taught by many vendors is not a good fit for the general trading public. But, you will get those who don't believe this and will judge a method even though they can not trade. After all, who are the ones who claim a method does not work? It's the people who CAN'T trade. How in the hell are they in a position to judge any method when they are not successful themselves. It is very difficult to let some of the old ways of thinking go, and because of this, success will forever be allusive to most. It takes years, in most cases, for a business to be profitable, assuming they can reach that goal. You may want to be a successful trader, but don't think that you deserve to be just because you want to be, it takes work. To expect to earn an income with a month of education, when it takes years of hard work and education for other enterprises, is absolutely absurd. But, this is not saying it can't be done. Who knows, you just may be on the verge of success, you just need that nudge to get you to the other side. No matter how long you may have been trading, if you are not successful at it, then you have been looking at the wrong stuff, and unlearning all of this can be a job within itself. Working at something for so long without results can be frustrating and upsetting. My methods are simple but effective, and somewhat different from the norm. Some of this old stuff is so ingrained in many traders that they truly believe there is that magic indicator or very special chart that will make them a success. Don't hold your breath, it is never going to happen. When you have spent years watching multiple charts and trading with tons of indicators, looking for that "confirmation" and comparing one market to the other before you can enter a trade, all with terrible results, why would you continue down this road? When most traders are not profitable, why would they continue to follow the same path. I talk about this in my book. I really hope you can find the success you desire, but don't think it will happen over night, because if that is the case, it should already have happened.
Have a great weekend.

NOVEMBER 29, 2012

I realize it has been more than a few days between posts, but I am here. It has just been a crazy time, but absolutely no complaints. I spoke with a fellow yesterday and one of his questions is the same as that I get consistently. "How long will it take me to learn to trade?" Actually, I have no clue. I write about this on this site in many places and I also write about it in my book. I don't know you, I have no clue as to the type of learner you are, I don't know how much time you have to dedicate to trading, and so on. For some reason, there is the myth that trading is easy and no time is required. There are those who want to earn a salary that a professional earns, such as a doctor or an accountant, but are not willing to even think about putting in even the fraction of the time these professionals have. The indicators will not make you money, you are the source of your income. There are way to many who think like this and this is why only a fraction of traders are successful. If some of the impatient, who began their trading quest years ago and are still not even close to being successful, had realized that trading does take effort, things may have been drastically different now. But, there is hope, at least for those who realize that they may have to take a different approach to trading.

I have not posted much over the past as it has been quite busy. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I have been working with our investment group and this has been very rewarding but at the same time busy. I also completed my book, it is now on Amazon.com available in paperback as well as Kindle. Click the cover icon below and you will be taken to the book offer page. I will be adding a MY BOOK page to the site, hopefully within a few days, where I will share a few excerpts. So, we certainly are not sitting still and only time will tell which direction we will go from here, as the group I am working with from NYC has presented me with some very interesting proposals. At this point, I am not sure just how busy I want to be, but there are those opportunities that should be considered. Recently, Andrea attended a book sale and she picked up a few very old editions of some books. There is one in particular that I am reading now which was written in 1931. The conditions people lived with back then very closely mirror what is happening today. As simple as it is, one particular comment stood out. "Prosperity can not be built on fear". This certainly is appropriate with many who trade today. The fear of entering a trade. If you don't enter, you don't prosper. But, on the flip side, if you don't enter, you don't lose money. Of course, fear is not only associated with trading, as there are fears many live with in all aspects of life. In regard to trading, fear runs rampant, pushing that button for some is just so difficult. If I write another book, I will probably spend some time on my interpretation of fear and confidence and how they can, at times, alter the way traders, and people, react to circumstances they may face.

NOVEMBER 9, 2012

I was a rough couple of weeks, but I believe we are almost back to normal. After being without power for 7 days, we began regrouping, then 4 inches of heavy snow fell causing more outages. Power went out last night for some reason, and back on this morning. We are fortunate, others are still suffering and our hearts go out to them. For all of you who have emailed, I will be getting to you, just need some time. For those who emailed, and I did not respond and you emailed back with a nasty comment as to why I did not return your email, I will not be getting back to you. My book is just about done, the publisher sent me a proof copy which I am reviewing presently. Hope to have all completed by next week. It has been very busy and and the weather was not much of a help. In regard the our LTD AUTO TRADE, I wrote some time ago that I was going to limit the output, and we seem to have reached it. Not to say that we will not continue, we just want to work with those who are presently using it. So, as of today, if you have an interest, we will add you to a wait list, with the intent of getting to you sometime down the road. It has been very busy, a lot going on, no complaints, as busy is good. Just a tad behind schedule. If you are not happy with your trading and you are no farther in your trading than you were 5 years ago, you may want to take a look as to why. Have a great weekend.

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE EMAILED ME, I WILL RESPOND WITHIN A FEW DAYS. WE LIVE IN NEW JERSEY AND WE HAD A HURRICANE COME THROUGH THAT PRETTY MUCH DEVESTATED THE WHOLE STATE. WE ARE ON A GENERATOR AND SINCE MOST POWER IS OUT THROUGHOUT THE STATE, WE NEED TO RATION GAS, SO WE CAN ONLY BE ONLINE FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. POWER MAY NOT BE RESTORED UNTIL SOMETIME NEXT WEEK. OUR INCONVENIENCE IS MINIMAL COMPARED TO MANY OTHERS. OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH ALL. THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

We made a nice minimal update to our LTD Auto Trade, all those who have purchased received the upgrade. I am sure you will be very pleased, even more than before. I have not posted any LTD Auto Trade NQ charts on this page, so I have included 2 from this morning. The first is for all the night owls. Look close for the signal arrows, or right click to enlarge.

Time certainly does fly. It has been busy, a good busy, but busy nonetheless. Anyway, we had a trader join us very recently who was attempting to learn another method which required him to be able to compare different markets before he was able to take a trade. He did not volunteer the vendors name and I did not ask but I believe I know where he came from. Actually, this particular vendor, if it is the same group, are very knowledgeable about the markets, but their approach is way different from mine. Many of their trades happen over night and there may be a day or two without any trades at all because the markets don't match up. If this is your cup of tea, then great, but if you are looking for a method that normally offers quite a few entries on a daily basis, then EminiScalp may be your answer. This constant "confirmation" stuff is why many traders are not successful. Just to much to watch, to much analyzing and way to much stress. I have included a few screen shots below from out LTD Auto Trade strategy. You may have to look closely for the signals, or just right click on ther chart to enlarge. I also posted a screen shot on the LTD Auto Trade page. I hear all to often that Fridays are not good trading days. This is absolute nonsense. Have a great weekend.

I have not written in a while, not because I am lazy, it has just been busy, which is good. I completed my book, finally, and I sent it off to the publisher for his review. I have been working with the investement group from NYC, and this has been keeping me on the go. But the most exciting project has been the autotrade. I have now completed, well almost, the LTD AutoTrade for NinjaTrader. I have not mentioned this strategy at all, as I wanted it to be near completion beforehand. The LTD AutoTrade is based on my LTD method, and I must say, it looks great. The strategy can be disabled and enabled from a button right on the chart and there is no need for an indicator side. There are some very nice features, such as being able to set your profit goals for the session. Signals will appear if disabled so that manual trades can be taken. It is user friendly and simple to set up, not to mention the very nice signals. I have just a few more additions that I thought of that are being worked on as I write. Of course, we do want to be able to enter at nice trade areas, but we also want to stand aside in not so nice areas. This is what is being done now. In my opinion, the LTD AutoTrade is as close to human trading as possible, but without the emotion. Those who have purchased our previous autotrade strategy will receive the LTD AutoTrade, as the LTD AutoTrade will take it's place. This strategy is a winner. More details will follow in regard to the use of the LTD AutoTrade as well as the excellent and affordable pricing plan, so stay tuned. Below are 4 ES charts from yesterday. The arrows represent the entry areas and are put there by the strategy. The first 2 shots are from very early yesterday morning, the others are from the afternoon. When I put up the LTD AutoTrade page, I will have more screen shots, just wanted to share a few. The entry arrows may be dissficult to see, you may have to look close.

The EminiScalp Auto Trade is up and running, check out the EminiSaclp Auto Trade page. Although I do use tick charts, as this is what I suggest, it does look fine on time charts, although better signals may come up with lower time frames. Thanks to all who have already jumped aboard and if anyone has emailed me and I haven't responded, I will soon.

Well, the EminiScalp Autotrade study is completed. Had a few issues with the ATM strategy which seem to be fixed now. Will watch it for a few days. With the study, a trader will be able to trade multiple markets both live and SIM and a mixture of each, while having the ability to have separate contract, stop and target amounts. Seems simple in theory, but it did take a little work. The goal is to make the strategy setup as easy as possible. I will be adding a web page explaining the details, working on that now.

I didn't realize it has been so long since my last post. Time sure does have a way of getting away from you. In any case, the AUTOTRADE study is done and seems to be working very well. There are times that you don't not want to take the alerts and this is what is being worked on now. For instance, we may want the AUTOTRADE to be shut off at 9:55 AM east, and then turned back on at let's at 10:03 AM east, because of news. We may want this on-off situation to take place a number of times during the day. We also may want to have it start at a certain time of day and shut off at a specified time at the end of the day. This is what we are workingon now and our goal is to be able to set some times as defaults so that a trader does not have to set and reset items every day. We are using the NinjaTrader Dynamic Super Dom where we have our AutoTrade template set for a number of markets. A few more tweaks and we hope to wrap it up.

I was talking with a prospective purchaser the other day and we were discussing the various methods. He said that he was interested and that he would certainly purchase if I could guarantee that he would be profitable. How could anyone guarantee that? As I have written thoughout this website, trading is not easy and any success is dependant on a variety of factors, many of which are personality related. I have no way of knowing anyones learning, information retaining, discipline, abilities and focus capabilities, not to mention other personal characteristics. Before you consider any method, or trading for that matter, you may want to take a self inventory to determine if you really want to enter this business. One example is a fellow who purchased from me a while back. He contacted me after two days and said he was having some difficulties. I asked him if he read, studied and understood the documentation that came with the study. He said no, he did not read it, he did not think he had to. You have got to be kidding. The docs explain how to take the trades, when not to take trades and what to look for when price reaches critical areas. I mean there is basic stuff that a trader needs to know, nothing complicated, just common sense information. So, as I said, be sure trading is right for you before you spend your money. Way to many traders have purchased a ton of methods and end up complaining that none of them work. Personally, I don't think this always the case.

_____________________________________________________

JULY 17, 2012

I have received a ton of inquiries regarding the EminiScalp Autotrade. The Autotrade is not available yet, and my reason for mentioning it was to let those who have an interest know what we are working on. There are a few things to complete, but right now the most important item is the testing. This is ongoing and takes a bit of time, as I am testing it on the ES,NQ,TF and YM as well as the CL. No one wants to get stopped and although stops are inevitable, my goal is to be able to find a work around when there is a stop so that I am able to somehow avoid those trade areas altogether or eliminate the conditions that cause them. This is a task that does take a little time because of the markets I am working with. The objective is to be profitable.

MONDAY
JULY 16, 2012

Recently a trader contacted me asking how many rules he would have to learn if he decided to purchase one of my methods. For the AUTOTRADE, really no trade rules, you would just have to set up the parameters as per the instructions. For my other methods, there are a few rules to follow. I explained that these rules are common sense rules. He said that he was not good at following rules. Following rules are a must. The rules we have are objedtive and few, but rules that need to be adhered to. I don't make these rules up, the market does. Don't follow the rules of the road when you drive and see what happens. Actually, there are more driving rules than there are trading rules. If you are unable to follow driving rules, possibly hire a driver, it may be safer for you and others. If you are not able to follow trading rules, do not trade, or if you must trade, have someone whom you can trust trade for you, although this is not a very good idea. The other option? AUTOTRADE.

Things are moving along quite nice although a little slower than anticipated. This is not a problem as I am testing the Autotrade every step of the way and this takes time. As I work with this, I get a thought and add it in. I am working with filtering the entries with my new whereas the AutoTrade knows where to take entries and not to take entries. If you are in a trade, no new entries will be signaled until the trade is completed. This is common, but it allows for scalping as well trailing, etc. What is not common is knowing when there should not be an entry and this is where our takes over. Is it fullproof? We are working on it, and we do have a very nice filtering system in place. As is stands right now, if you let the AutoTrade do what it is suppose to do, the results should be satisfying. Of course, you are able to take manual trades with it, but the AutoTrade feature is there to reduce the hesitation and emotion. Below is a section of an ES chart from today. Hypothetically, from the open until 3:30 PM east, on AutoTrade, just using a 3 tick profit and a 4 tick stop, the net after commission and any stops could have been about $587.00 on 1 contract. Who knows what may have been the results with trailers, etc.

ANOTHER PREVIEW

Wow, this week went fast. Anyway, I added 2 more screen shots below from this morning showing the AUTOTRADE entries.
When you look at the charts below, you will see triangles, black for the short and blue for the long. The triangle is placed as the bar opens, it is not placed on the bar when it closes. So, when you see a triangle, the entry is usually at the tip or a tick away from the tip. If the conditions call for an entry, you are entered at the opening of the bar, at the triangle. The triangle entry signals stay put, they do not move with the price. These are excellent entry areas.

The first shot is the NQ and the next is the CL. Yes, the AUTOTRADE works great with the ES,NQ,TF,YM and CL and I would assume most markets, but my time is limited, so I am only working with the markets mentioned. The EMINISCALP AUTOTRADE, as mentioned, is an entry method whereas you really do not have to know much about the market. There are no trading rules to follow, just set up the AUTOTRADE as specified and let it do it's thing. The post below has more info and I do plan on adding a page when everything gets completed. There are some nice long entries shown. The built in filters attempt to keep you out of countertrend trades that may result in a stop. Because of this, you may miss a trade or two, but there should be more than enough to satisfy most traders. When the AUTOTRADE detects that a trend is weakening, the appropriate entries will appear. Also, as mentioned, the entry is within a tick or so of the tip of the triangle. As soon as the triangle appears, you are in the trade. This is usually a bit faster than entering manually although you can enter manually, and in most cases, this will not be a problem. But, for those who hesitate, we have the EMINISCALP AUTOTRADE. Will there be stops? Probably. But, at the end of the day you should be pleased.

Have a great weekend

The chart below is an oil shot from this afternoon. You do not have to know where to enter, EMINISCALP AUTOTRADE tells you.

A PREVIEW

I have included 2 screen shots of our EminiScalp AutoTrade. This is just a sampling of what our setups look like. The entries are usually within 1 tick of the tip of the triangle, so where the triangle sits is usually your entry spot. Determining where entries are is not difficult, what is difficult is creating code that initiates the setups as well creating the code so that you don't get entries where they should not be. This was a task that took time. Will you have stops with the AutoTrade? Yes you will, stops are inevitable, but at the end of the day you should be very pleased. The great part of all this is that you will NOT have to remember any rules. You will just need to set up the Autotrade as per the instructions and let it do it's thing. For the past 4+ months, right up to this posting, and I expect this to continue, the AutoTrade has been great. In theory you can set it up and walk away, although I would not suggest that. It will automatically start at a time you set, and end at at time you set. It can be automatically turned on and off intraday as well so that you don't get entries at specific times, like news, etc. All this is done during the AutoTrade setup period. For those who just are not able to pull the trigger and for those who do not know where to exit, the AutoTrade will do it for you. Although we approached the AutoTrade as a scalping method, there may be the possibility of more profit to take on many trades. As I have mentioned on my site many times, I believe the market does the same thing every day, what changes are the numbers. We are now setting up the auto trade license with NinjaTrader as well as the security so that it can not be reversed engineered. Not sure how many AutoTrades I will release, but I think it would only be fair to offer it first to those who have purchased an EminiScalp Method in the past.

If you right click on the screen shot below and save it to your desktop, you will get a better view of the entry areas.

I added a second chart below which shows entry areas from what many consider the "dead zone". As I mentioned earlier, the market does the same thing everyday, only the numbers change. By the way, we are using a 4 TICK, not point, stop. Also, the entry triangle appears at the entry point, not some arbitrary spot, and as the entry triangle appears, you are in the trade.

It has been about seven days since my last post so I think I better get myself in gear. I hope all Dads had a great Fathers Day.
There is such a hunger for knowledge, I am referring to trading knowledge. I get a ton of emails from many who have spent thousands of dollars on methods that just don't work. I know I have written about this many times and I am not saying other methods do not work, these comments are from many who contact me. Of course, something is not going well in regard to their trading if they are reaching out to me. To be honest though, many methods do work and I also believe that you have to know how to trade in order to be able to make that type of determination. The problem may be the understanding of the method and the application of rules, not to mention that the method just may not be a good fit for a particular trader. But, there are some methods that just do not fit the masses. I was in a webinar a few weeks ago where a fellow was going over his method. I do believe that some who read this post attended this webinar and will remember this particular vendor. In any case, this vendor was showing his setups and entries and he was manually moving the chart forward. To make a long story short, he showed 6 stops in a row, each being $300 for a total of $1800 in losses. Now he was going to show how to make this up on the next number of trades. Someone wrote in and said that it would be very difficult for anyone to have the confidence to take any trades after being $1800 in the hole, and he also wrote that not many traders, if any at all, could even afford to be down so much. The moderators response? " If you can not afford to be down $1800, then you should not be trading". To me, this was a cold and detached response. In any case, this was a method that does not work and I can say this because I know my craft and I know how to trade.

Earlier I wrote that there is a great hunger for trading knowledge, but unfortunetly, as hard as some might try, many will not crack the code. So, why am I writing all of this? AH HA!!! We are close, very close, and thus far, all looks outstanding. This will be something for the majority, although there will be limitations on distribution. More to come.

Have a great day.

Trading is a skill that takes time to master. How long will it take someone to master this skill? This depends upon the individual. Every profession requires some level of skill. Anyone who believes that just because you have acquired the most recent indicator method, that you will be profitable right away, will probably be very dissapointed. Skill requires effort, repetition, discipline and a willingness to learn. There are rules to follow when trading and most traders do not follow the rules. These are not arbitrary rules, but are rules created by the market. By ignoring or not taking the time to learn the rules will result in continued losses. Just like driving a car, if you ignore of forget the rules of red lights, stop signs, etc., you are going to have a serious problem. If you get into an accident because you forgot or ignored a rule, then it is not the cars fault, it is yours. If you ignore or do not take the time to learn the basic trading rules that apply day after day, you will not be successful. No matter what method you are using, these rules still apply. The method does not set the market rules, the market does. Every method sees the same thing. Become aware of what happens day after day in the market and look for these same occurences daily, and you may see a dramatic improvement in your trading.

I spoke with a prospective EminiScalp trader yesterday and this was one of his comments" I purchased a method from______________ and I gave it a week, it doesn't work, so I was thinking that I would give yours a try". His experience and situation is certainly not unique, as I have had contact with many who feel as he does. It is apparent though that many traders have a misconception about achieving trading success. Giving it a week is certainly not how learning to trade should be approached. Learning any profession that has the ability to financially sustain you year after year takes time. I am confused as to why someone who goes to school for a certain career spends 2,3,4 or more years in school to obtain the knowledge needed, and then comes the on the job experience. Why in the world would anyone think that trading is so easy that it only requires a week or two. Hey, for those who have a good understanding of market movement, then a short time is all that may be required. But, if you have been trained to watch indicator lines crossing without being concerned for proper entry and target areas, then you may have some work to do. I surely would give your present method a chance before you throw it in the scrap pile. Just for those who are not aware, there are only a few targets all day long. You should be watching the price not indicator lines crossing. This may prove to be difficult for most, but this is the market. You may not see it that way, and this may the reason you are not doing well.

I realize I have been somewhat negligent with the posts, as I have been told with all the emails I have been getting. There is a lot going on and all is getting done. The project is near completion, have been testing it for a while now. Just working on getting all of the kinks out of it. Between the busines end, trading, my book, the project and working with the investment group, the days move along rapidly. No complaints though, just want to give those who write me an update. I have attached a chart below from this morning. Look close for the green dot at the lower left and the red dot at the top right, on top of the red candle. You can expand the chart by left clicking on it and saving it to your computer. Easier to see it that way.

I hope all the Mom's had a great day Mother's Day. I received an invite to a webinar which will take place in the very near future. I took a look at the presenters website and it was very nice. But, there was one aspect of the content that caught my attention and that is the concept of the "risky" trade. I have written about this in the past, but I see quite a bit written and talked about in regard the high risk trades. Personally I do not believe in a high risk trade and any new trader should not even think about considering taking one. A trade is a trade and anyone who who says that a particular trade is high risk is gambling. I see trading as probabilities, not odds. High probability trades are those that show up consistently throughout the day as well as all week, month, etc. There are definite targets that the market defines, all day long. When a setup occurs, you look to see where your target is, and if it is to close to the entry, you just don't take it. As I see it, a high risk trade is when your target, assuming you can determine target areas, is to close to your entry and you are hoping that the price will move beyond it. The market does the same thing every day, it is not magic. If your high risk trade works out, great, but that is a false sense of security and continuing to gamble like that will certainly empty your account. It is either a trade or it is not. If you want to gamble, you probably will be better off in Atlantic City or Las Vegas. At least you will get a buffet lunch and possibly some free drinks.

I have not posted a chart in a while. Below is an LTD chart with the ATA from this afternoon. What is showing is 4 setups of about 2 points each. What you don't see is the action just prior and the action just after this shot, with both showing profitable setups as well. This took place on a lazy Friday afternoon. You may have to squint to see the ATA dots and the EminiScalp Intervals, or you could save the shot to your computer where it will enlarge. Price goes from Interval to Interval, as it should. Have a great weekend.

Well, May is just around the corner as are many more trade opportunities. I recently was part of a trading seminar in NYC sponsored by one of the large investment houses. This company has come to realize that many of their employees who they consider "traders" are not traders at all, just order takers. So they, as are many other firms, wish to increase their bottom dollar by taking a different approach to how they speculate and give investment advice to clients. Their goal is to have those who give that type of advice to be able to have a better handle on the market of interest. In any case, it was certainly enlightening as to how some think in regard to trading. I was talking to a few traders from the "audience" group and many claimed to be independant traders, most not being successful. Without going into detail about the particulars of what we did, and why this seminar came into being, because I am not able to, I have to admit that it was a real eye opener. I always felt, from my early days of trading, that my way of looking at the market and my thought process were my worst enemies. I worked through that, it was not easy, what I have learned and experienced since that time can reduce the learning curve considerably. Of course, teaching an old dog new, but positive tricks, is not all that easy. More about this in my next post.

One of our recent signups was so excited about the stuff he did not have to watch. He actually was relieved to be able to learn a method that did not require multiple charts and indicators. Although it is new to the majority of traders, watching price only and not indicators, is the profitable way to trade. Granted it is different and to be honest, the majority will have a difficult time shedding the stuff that was holding them back. Many will continue to use the multiple charts and indicators and they will continue to look for the magical chart or the indicator with the magical setting that will once and for all make them succesful. I realize this may come as a shock to many, but as far as I know, they do not exist. Also, for those who use the multiple charts to confirm your trade is stressful. Hmmm, if oil goes here, and the TF reaches this price, and the Euro can drop 2 ticks, and the YM does not break through support, then I will take a long on the ES. You have got to be kidding. But, many will continue with this type of scenario. The majority of traders who are profitable trade the price only. Profit depends on where the price is, not an indicator line crossing 0.

I can't believe how fast time flies. As I wrote earlier, I have been busy with a few projects and those along with trading and EMINISCALP have kept me quite busy. I must say that the projects are doing quite well, better that anticipated. The trading? What can I say, it has been just great. Since the market is about numbers, it does pretty much the same thing day after day. The price trades to specific areas all day long, and these areas are defined by the market. The numbers may change daily, but the trade areas do not. I was invited to a trading symposium sponsored by a private equity firm last week. It seems that the majority in attendance think the same way, which is a good thing. The positive and optimistic nature of the traders was very encouraging. One of the traders was discussing a seminar that he had attended and he was shocked to hear that the focus was on stops. Those attending this seminar, as per this trader, were told to learn to accept stops and to also learn to accept the fact that there may be days and even weeks where you will lose. Think like this and you may never be a successful trader. This is like someone who is on their way to work and they expect the car to break down. They are so worried about a malfunction that they can not enjoy the ride. Follow the rules, take care of your car and you won't be in a worrisome and negative state of mind. It is to bad that there are those who are not able to trade successfully and as such, they poison others with this blabber. Once a trader understands what is really important when viewing a chart, the road to success may not be that far off. The focus should always be on profit, not the stops. But, that is me.

I hope everyone had a very nice weekend. We are moving forward with a number of projects and thay keep me busy, so I write when I am able to. I have been spending time working with traders from a large investment firm and I have to tell you, it is a pleasure working with those who have the determination and desire. Of course, it does help when you are getting your paycheck while you are learning. This project itself has taken quite a nice turn since I first started with them a few months ago. One thing I have found, and I believe I have mentioned this before, is that it is much easier to teach someone how to trade when they don't have a ton of bad habits. It is very difficult for an indicator trader to learn to trade without them. It seems that they always will need the "confirmation" of another indicator or another chart. They become so overloaded that if they even take a trade, it is probably to late and then you know what the result is. There is a lot of frustration because of this and this alone affects the success. Although there are those who may do very well with indicators, the majority of traders do not. The "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" statement seems to hold water. But, this can be overcome. Being uncomfortable is a component of the new learning. If you are uncomfortable being uncomfortable, then learning something new is not for you. A transformation can take place, you have to be willing to take the plunge, give a good effort and take the time. Instant gratification is not what successful trading is about. Successful trading is a process. After all, would you want a doctor to operate on you if he or she put in a week of learning and practice? For many, the goal of trading is to earn a decent wage year after year. Unfortunetly, many will not put forth the effort to make that happen. My suggestion is to work at what ever method you are using. If you are determined to use indicators, then make them work for you. As I said, there are those who do well with them and these people are probably not much different from you. Why are they doing well and you are not? Because they make it a quest and they don't give up.

A trader signed on a day or so ago and he began relaying to me his experience with his previous method. By the way, I am writing about this with his approval as I think that there are traders who may find this familiar. As per this trader, his previous method relied on discretionary trades, which, as explained by the vendor, was the only way the markets could be traded. I believe that if you are taking discretionary trades, you will not be profitable. Discretion leads to doubts and hesitation. In order to trade successfully, rules must be followed. If by chance, you are faced with a setup that you are not comfortable taking, then you do nothing. That is not a discretionary decision, it is a rule.

All is going very nicely as we enter our 4th year. Have been fairly busy working on a variety of projects. I have had a few questions in the recent past asking why our stops are so tight. I don't believe you have to have huge stops. If you know where your targets are when you have a set up, which you should, then you should also know where the stop area would be. Our methods show you these areas. Stops and targets are not arbitrary, the market defines them for you. There is no need to take on a huge risk, this can only increase your anxiety.

_____________________________________________________

SUNDAY
MARCH 25, 2012

Today marks the beginning of our 4th year. The past 3 years have just been great and I want to thank all those EminiScalp traders who signed on with us. Believe me, there are many, and I mean many traders who are highly successful with our methods. Of course they work at it and the profits are the proof. So, what is in store for the future? I am working diligently on an auto trade method for NinjaTrader and Sierracharts. My goal is to setup my auto trade and then go on about my day. I really do not mind sitting in front of the computer, but on the nice spring an summer days, I would rather be outside enjoying the weather. That is the goal and we are more than half way there.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
MARCH 22, 2012

No, I did not forget to write. I have been very busy, athough I realize it is not an excuse. I am working on some very nice projects and along with my trading, there has not been a lot of time left. My book is moving along as is the auto trading method that I am working on. Along with phone calls, answering emails, time does fly. March 25 will celebrate 3 years of Eminiscalp. What a great 3 years it has been as I never thought Eminiscalp would progress this far. My book will detail the beginning and goal(s) of Eminiscalp. With well over 1400 Eminiscalp programs out there since our inception, I would venture to say we have been fortunate. I spoke to a trader recently who had purchased a variety of other methods over the past years. As we were talking, he mentioned that his most recent method purchase gave him some success BUT..... Now, let's talk about the BUTS. What is with the BUTS? If the method is giving you some "success", then it is probably doing what it is suppose to. Although I am not a fan of indicators, they do work for some traders. Why not for all? Because it may not be the method at all, it just may be the trader. The minute some traders have difficulties, then they shut down and start blaming the method, the vendor, and so on. The fellow I was talking to went on a rant about how he got screwed by this last vendor, as well as all the previous ones. If you have "some success" with a method or system, then take some time and find out why it is not successful all of the time. If you are sitting in a chat room all day, then you are being distracted and are wasting your time. Instead, your time may be well spent watching and analyzing the chart you trade from, watching what it does day after day and taking notes, both mentally and on paper. Success takes effort. Are you not following the rules? Did you read and understand all of the information? Are you taking trades in areas where you should not be? I mean really, take some time and analyze what you are doing. The price goes up, the price goes down and the price, at times, trades in a narrow range. Your goal is to look for entries and then determine where the target(s) are and if you have enough "room for profit". Trading is not a "push the button" business. It takes a little effort from the trader along with common sense, or trade sense, as I like to describe it. I will talk more about this in my book as well as some quips on my REALITY page. By the way, the fellow I was talking to asked me how many points my method gets out of each trade. Although he claims he has been trading for 10 years, this is a question that only an novice or someone who has no trading experience would ask. The profit on each trade is determined by the MARKET not the METHOD, so the profit potential varies. Once a trader understands this, then they may be on the path to success.

MARCH 13, 2012

Today, as was yesterday, were very nice days. When the market got lazy, I took a break. It is not necessary to sit in front of the screen all day. Anyway, as I have mentioned a number of times, I am on a variety of vendor mailing lists. It seems that the trend right now is trading psychology and some vendors are including this topic in their webinars. This is really is not a bad idea as long as the trading psychology is not being used as an excuse for loses with the particular method. Trading is a business and if you own a business and have a business loss you probably do not need a psychiatrist. You need a PLAN that you must stick to. Don't let a substandard trading method use the excuse that you need a trading psychologist if you are not successful. I have a lot more to say about this topic and I will go into more detail in my book.

MARCH 9, 2012

I did not want to go through the week without a post. It was a fast, busy but a very nice week, as usual. Without going into detail, (because I am not able to), on how this transpired, this past Tuesday I did a private presentation for the members of an investment group out of NYC. To say the least, it went exceptionally well. This was my second presentation since February for this group. I am in the process of developing a trading program for them. I mention this because EMINISCALP is 3 years old this month and we are moving in a direction that I could never even dream was possible. More on this in the days ahead.
Have a great weekend.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
MARCH 4, 2011

I have not written a weekend edition in a while, but I had a few thoughts that I would like to share. This will be short as I will try and get right to the point.

The market is about numbers, and the market goes up, it goes down and at times it goes flat. I have mentioned this many times on this website. Once a trader realizes that this is all the market does, then and only then will they begin the process of successful trading. There is not an indicator on earth that will alter the way the market trades. All an indicator can do is tell you what has already happened.

My methods are not indicators, the are "PREDICTIVE STUDIES", not at all like an indicator. The ATA and the EMINISCALP INTERVALS are predictive studies. With the use of trade logic and rational configuration, our proprietary studies are engineered to illustrate crucial trade areas, areas which are calculated well before price gets to them, areas in which trades and profits are taken. Our PLUS and LTD methods are pure price action methods and the ATA and EMINISCALP INTERVALS can be considered as "training wheels" when used in conjunction with these methods. Including them on the charts give the trader a heads up in regard to crucial trade areas.

So, please don't confuse an indicator that tells you what already has happened in the market, with a "predictive study" that uses logic and reasoning to calculate crucial trade areas, well before price ever gets to these areas.
Remember, the market is about NUMBERS.

Ahhh, spring right around the corner, although it was a very nice winter. Take a look at the EMINISCALP INTERVALS page where I posted a chart from today. EMINISCALP INTERVALS, trading does not get any better than this. Use them with our ATA, LTD or PLUS and you may be pleasantly surprised.

We have our EMINISCALP INTERVALS page up, showing a few screen shots. I posted a chart from today on the EMINISCALP INTERVALS page. The EMINISCALP INTERVALS are extremely accurate in revealing target as well as trade set up areas. Check out our EMINISCALP INTERVALS page for more details.

FEBRUARY 24, 2012

Trading successfully is about numbers. It is not about lines crossing, cci's crossing the 0 line, bollinger bands expanding or any other indicator movement. Trading is about numbers. The market is about where price has been, where it is now and where it may want to go. Over the past few months I have been posting screen shots as well as adding video segments to my site. At times, when I comment about a particular shot, I mention our EminiScalp Intervals. We use the EminiScalp Intervals as "areas" of interest in our trading. They are specifically configured to assist the trader in determining trade setup and target areas and they are highly accurate. The Eminiscalp Intervals are placed on the chart well before price gets to them and the proprietary configuration allows for this high and consistent accuracy. I have two screen shots below that show what I am talking about. In a few weeks I plan on offering the EminiScalp Intervals to the trading community. They will be designed for both NinjTrader and Sierracharts and will work equally well with any time chart. Keep checking back for more information. In the screen shots below, please notice how the price leaves one EminiScalp area, goes to another and so on. There are absolutely no indicators built into the EminiScalp Intervals. Indicators are late moving objects, the EminiScalp Intervals actually show trade areas before price gets to them. The dark horizontal lines represent the EminiScalp Intervals. They are set WELL IN ADVANCE of price reaching them. Also, notice how price reacts at these areas. You are able to see your multiple target areas WELL IN ADVANCE. You gotta love it.

Have a great weekend

I could post many charts such as the one below. Although they do look great, which they are, it is up to the trader to take the entries when the signals and rules tell you to. The chat room is a nice place to fratinize, but when you have a setup long and someone posts a short, this is going to affect your trading immeasurably. Focus without distraction is key. Otherwise it may take you longer, if at all, to finally see profitability. As I have mentioned in an earlier post, a study was done a while ago, and the results were that the most successful traders were those who traded only price action, as we do, and they learned to do so on there own, without the distraction and nonsense sometimes associated with the trading community. Be focused and determined and make your method, no matter what it is, work for you.

What a very nice morning. Volume not what it used to be but better than the past few days. Actually it does not matter, we normally have nice setups. Below is a shot from this morning. Price went right to our Eminiscalp Intervals, as expected. A video of this shot is posted on the ATA Videos page.

FEBRUARY 8, 2012

I received an email from a trader yesterday who asked how many of my high risk trades were successful. I told him that we don't have "high risk" trades. All trades carry a risk, that is why we have stops, but to designate a trade as "high risk" could mean that you are gambling. A trade is a trade. You have a setup and you have a target. If your method offers a variety of risk level trades, I would certainly consider moving on. Entering a trade that "may not work out" is a foolish decision and can only be compared to gambling.

I just received an email from a trader who asked me if I was running a chat room and if I had 2 different websites. Nope, not me on both counts. I asked him why and he said that there is a guy who calls himself eminiscalpER. Be careful, there are imposters. There was more to this email, I will post more later, have to get back to trading. By the way, a VERY nice morning.

This eminiscalpER guy was closed by Paltalk. No knockoffs allowed. Just be careful of the types of rooms you visit, they can hurt you and give you misinformation. If I am going to open a room, I will let you know right here. It will be either through NinjaTrader or HottCom, and you will receive an email from them. I may even open a Paltalk room and if I do, you will know it is the real deal. I will see if I can get the time to write about the trades of that phony room on my Reality page. If anyone took the 2 trades he had all morning, you would be looking for a job to replenish your account. By the way, we have many more than just 2 trades in a morning.

WEDNESDAY
JANUARY 25, 2012

Today was a very nice trading day, as were the past days. This was one fast month, just 3 trading days left in January. If you have not made a resolution to finally attempt to be a profitable trader, now is a good time to start. I have heard many times where the trading experts throw out important numbers. 1213 is an important number, it was the high 3 days ago, or 1230 is an important number because it is the 66% retracement off of the 200 day moving average. The numbers I mentioned are just hypothetical, but I just want to make a point. What good are throwing numbers around when you do not have any way of entering the market so that you can take advantage of them.

I was in a room once where there were long time "members". The moderator had proudly mentioned that "Joe" has been in this room for six years. Then, later in the day, Joe writes " do we have a trade here?" OOPS. Those six years wewre well spent. Learn to trade so that you don't have to depend on anyone.

I am working on my book every chance I get. Between being busy with Eminiscalp, which I do appreciate, trading and getting my book together, I am not always focused on putting up charts. When I get some breathing room, I will add more. Of course, whatever I post will resemble what is already there, just the numbers will change.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
JANUARY 22, 2012

I haven't done a weekend edition for quite some time. It has been busy and I am grateful for that. When I hear comments like " I am really having fun with this", or " your ATA has shown me the critical areas that I knew were there, just never noticed them", and "I don't have to sit in front of the computer all day, this method is just great, thanks, Al" , then you know you are doing something right. These are not the only comments I hear, just a fraction of the sampling. More than I can count, I have been asked this question "Is trading easy?" A question like this will normally come from someone who is new to the business, as those who have been trading for some time and finding it difficult will say that trading is not easy. The reality is, it is as easy or difficult as you make it. My wife and I have run a number of marathons and people will ask, is running the marathon easy. Yes, the marathon is easy if you PREPARE for it. That is the key, PREPARATION. Same with trading. If you put the time in and work at it, assuming you are looking at the right stuff, then it will not be as difficult as you think. But, unfortunately, many will not devote the time, they want the instant gratification. "I want to make money, but I don't have the time to learn". Well then, you will not be a successful trader. If you want something bad enough, you will devote yourself to that quest. When I receive emails from traders stating " I have bought a lot of methods in the past and none of them work", I really have to wonder, is it really the method. Although I do think that most people have the ability to trade successfuly, I really believe there are those who will never become successful traders, mostly because they lack the discipline, focus and determination. If you are aware of your limitations, you can save yourself a lot of money and aggravation. I am not a fan of indicator trading, but I am sure that there is someone trading successfully using them. If you are one who uses indicators, and you are not successful, maybe you need to change your strategy. Less contracts, adjust the stops, trade only during certain times of the day, etc. Not many have the wherewithall to work at something. In many cases this is good, good for those who can trade successfully. Those who are not successful will continue to throw money at the market and those who are successful will continue to take from them. The market needs traders who will continue to trade without the proper knowledge.

FRIDAY
JANUARY 13, 2012

Below is a chart from this morning and what a great morning it was. This chart is also displayed on the video page. Price goes to the same place on all charts and no matter what method you are using. If you have the intestinal fortitude and the emotional makeup to enter a trade and let it run for 5,6, or more points, that is great and can be done because we do know the areas the price should go to. For those who opt to take smaller profits because they do not want to be exposed to the market for a minimal amount of time on a given trade, this can be done as well, because again, we know where the targets are. No matter what anyone says, most traders prefer the quicker profits.

Have a great weekend.

THURSDAY
JANUARY 12, 2012

I added a video clip for the TF from this morning. Yes Eminiscalp works for the TF,NQ,YM,ES....and so on. The TF is not as fast as the clip shows, I have it set at about 12 times market speed so that I could show about 1/2 hour of movement. Not shown are our Eminiscalp Intervals as well as a couple of LTD entries. The Intervals are very accurate as trade areas as well as targets and if your goal is to attempt to get the big moves, it is very possible when you know your target areas. But, most traders are not emotionally equipped to let their contracts run, then retrace 2 points, then continue. After all, we can not guarantee that price will go anywhere, but the probability that price will get to our targets is very high. Most traders are scalpers, I have mentioned this many times. Once they get in a trade, they want to get out. Nothing wrong with that. Profit is profit, but you should not have to take 3 or 4 hits before you get the big one, assuming it is going to happen. It is very difficult to enter a trade when the first 2 or 3 were stops because you were looking for the big move. Most certainly you will be emotionally drained and highly fearful of taking another trade. When traders claim they got the 8,9, or 10 point move, I would have my doubts. Some possibly can, most can't. The average trader would be an emotional wreck being in a trade, watch it go 2 points in their favor, stay in, then watch it come back to their entry, and continue to stay with it as it moves 3 points in their favor, then retraces 2 points and so on and on and on.....Are you really going to allow hundreds of dollars of profit be taken from you when the price retraces. There are probabilities, no guarantees. You want to be a trader with longevity? Take your profits when you can, this is safe and reliable, anything else is gambling. I heard a room moderator say that so what if you have a day or two of draw downs. Come back and make it up the next day. What kind of advice is that. You just waved goodbye to at least $600-$800 and you wake up the next morning all cheery and bubbly just waiting for the big one? Go for the big one and you may end up having the big one.

WEDNESDAY
JANUARY 11, 2012

Today was a very nice day, as usual. During the times the market went flat, we got away from the screen and did few things around the house. Anyway, I spent about 45 minutes attending a webinar this morning. I do this on ocassion just to see what is out there. Although I am not a fan of indicators, I do respect the vendors who use them as this is their way of trading. While in this webinar, the moderator made a comment about Eminiscalp and how he takes 3 and 5 point trades and not the 8 or 9 trades for 3 or 4 ticks like we supposedly do. Firstly, he uses trailers to pick up extra profit, and we can do the same as well if we choose. In any case, I would not be making any comments about what went on in there if he had not attempted to disparage Eminiscalp. And why he did this, I have no idea, I have never interacted with this guy at all. So, here is what happened. He called a short anywhere under 1284.25. When the price would not go below 1283.75, he called that support, but his original support area was 1281. There was the first stop. Then I believe he called a long and was soon stopped again. I think he was using 2 point stops. What a way to start your day. All of a sudden, the price moved up and after a move of about 1 1/2 points, he was jubilant because of the long he called, which for the life of me, I never heard. All during this time he was using the excuse that this was an unusual opening for the market. Nothing unusual at all. If you are unable to successfully trade the market that you are faced with, then don't trade, don't make excuses. All the while this chatter was going on we were looking at an abundance of nice setups, to and from our target areas. Normally I would not make any comments about methods, but don't disparage another if you don't know what your are talking about. Especially when the price tag is $4000 and you offer 2 stops in a row as a way to start the day.

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
JANUARY 10, 2012

For those of you who trade with indicators, I would be especially careful with the minimal ranges that we have been experiencing. By the time your moving average lines cross, or the RSI crosses or the CCI crosses the 0 line, the move could be over. Also, if you are unaware of how to determine the target areas, you should not take any entries. In some instances, when the indicator gets you in to the trade, it may do so at the target area, resulting in, well, you know. Remember, the price makes the indicators move, it is not the other way around. Your focus should be on price and nothing else. Of course, if you watch the price and you don't know what you are looking at, then do not trade until you do. I have included a video from this morning which shows about 5 hours of movement. If you know how to trade our dots and you are aware of the target areas, then there were no stops at all.

The screen shot below is from later in the afternoon. The last ATA dot sits at 1273.75 and the price dropped further than shown, right to our target at 1271.50 where an ATA long dot popped up. We have a very good idea of where price may want to go when we get an entry signal. Our intervals are simple but very accurate.

TUESDAY
JANUARY 3, 2012

I hope everyone had a very nice holiday. I posted a video clip from yesterday on the video page. I am sure that due to the range and slow moving market, many had difficulty. It does not matter what the volume or volitilty is, if the market has movement, it can be traded. The problem could be the chart(s) and possibly the method you are using. If there is a 2 point move and your method is not allowing for an entry, time for a change. I am a firm believer that aqny chart can be traded successfully, but you have to stay with it and become familiar with the chart. Jumping from a 3 minute to 5 minute to 677 tick, to a range chart is certainly not productive. Pick one and stay with it. Watch it, study it and apply your method to it. If over time if you see nothing, it may be the method or it is possible that the method does not work well on a specific chart. Spending the time to search this all out can take forever though. I spent the time and I was fortunate to discover the method I use. Some will never be as lucky. So, what is the alternative? Join up with someone who has found success and put the time in to learn it. I am sure it will be different from what you are using, but if what you are using is not working, what other alternative do you have, assuming you really want a change for the better.

Posted a new short video on the home page. Taken just before the open. Less tha 140,000 contracts at the time. For those who believe that trading is not very good during a holiday week, you are misinformed. Granted, the market may be thin and slow, but that should not deter anyone from trading. Patience is the key. Yesterday was just as nice. Of course, it can only be nice if you have a method that does what it is suppose to do: EMINISCALP

Look at the beauty below. This shot was taken after the video. The video on the home page was taken just before the open and ran through the open. This shot was taken around 9:38 East.

DECEMBER 23, 2011

Even with the dismall volume and slow market especially today, our setup and target areas were just great. May have taken a little longer to give us our profit but the market conditions do not hinder our trading. If your method does not allow you to trade on days like today, it may be time to move up a level to EMINISCALP. Our thought process is probably somewhat different from you have been taught, but if being retrained means success, then make a decision to change.
Have a great weekend.

Below is a pre market NinjaTrader shot from this morning. The pre market has just been great. It is beyond me how any method vendor encourages their members not to trade during these times. If you are on the sidelines, maybe you can ask someone for a nice Christmas present: A New Method.

The shot below is also pre market from just after 8:30 AM east. These two charts are LTD charts with the ATA added. Not shown are our Eminiscalp Intervals which give us our enrty and target areas. Very accurate.

DECEMBER 20, 2011

Even though the volume is less and the market goes flat on ocassion, the trading is still very good. I understand that many take off for the next couple of weeks and start up again in January becuase they consider the market to chaotic. This does not make sense. Just because there are less people patronizing a business does not mean the business closes the doors. Trading is a business and it is open like any other business would be. Anyone who takes off using excuses of low volatility or low volume is not trading the correct method. Of course, you need patience and discipline but you would need them anyway, no matter what the conditions.

WEDNESDAY
DECEMBER 14, 2011

Below is a shot from this morning, just after the open. Although no method has the ability to make price go anywhere, our method has the capability of knowing when the price may make a turn. We have no control over where the market sets the targets, but our methods have the capability of knowing where they may be.

Another shot from just after 3 PM east.

The December contact is just fine. I listened to and watched a video from a long time trader who offers a method that has been getting beat up over the recent past. He says that the thinness of volume and the volitilty has been the problem and January will be better. You should not have to wait for January in order to make money. Lack of volume and volitility does not matter to us. Let's say you have 1 million people trading every day. Then 500,000 of these people stop trading. Well, the remaining traders will continue to do what they did. As a result, our method is not affected. Our method is based on what traders do every day, not the RSI's, MACD's, head and shoulders, double tops, etc. Continue with these and you will continue to trade the same way as you have been trading. If successful, then fine, if not, then a change may be needed. In reality though, not many traders are successful with all of that stuff. EMINISCALP is successful. But, it may require a retraining of the brain. What do I mean by this? As an example, a trader who joined us a while ago told me that he is having a problem letting go of his last method, although it was not successfull, as far as he was concerened, and he just can't seem to shake it. All of this confirmation is just overload. If you are not willing to "let go" and retrain the brain, then you will just continue to increase the accounts of those who are able to trade successfully, if you continue to trade. It is a matter of discipline and determination. Once you retrain your brain for successful trading, you will be a different person. More on this and other concerns later this week. Have a great day.

Shown below is a shot from just before lunch on the December contract. I usually will not look at the March contract until tomorrow, as the volume is usually better on the expiring contract on the first day of the new contract. Although the new contract month is out and the time of day is not good for a lot of traders, this made no difference for us. Following our simple trade entry rules, there was enough potential profit in the short trading time, depicted by the chart below, that would have satisfied most traders for the day. There were 4 nice setups from about 11:25 to 11:37 AM east. This was just a sample of what our trade setups look like throughout the day. Remember, the color of the dots is not what is important, it is how we trade them.

I have included another December ES chart below. This one is just after noon east. I have a note on it which reads " Dot to close to target, so we don't even consider an entry", just in case it is difficult to read on the chart. As mentioned, we have a specific way in which we trade the dots when they appear. Some dots we don't consider for an entry because of our rules. Not shown are our Eminiscalp Intervals, which show our target areas. Very accurate I might add.

I didn't realize I have not posted since last week. All the past days have been just fine. I have included a shot from this morning, just before noon east. This was taken at a time when MOST traders are not able to trade. For the scalper, this is a thing of beauty. Hey, we have no control over market movement, no method does. We just attempt to take advantage of any movement that market does offer. By the way, we know our targets before we enter.

WEDNESDAY
DECEMBER 1, 2011

Another nice day as expected. Follow the rules and good things happen. I have included 2 screen shots, one from this morning and another from just after lunch, east. The first is a Sierrachart shot, the next a NinjaTrader. The first chart is from about 9:52 - 10:15 east and the second from 12:32 - 12:52 east. The color of the dots don't really matter, as trades are taken a specific way when a dot appears. I have a marked a couple of the LTD trade areas on both charts although the LTD does, in many cases, show up with the ATA.

Below is a shot of out LTD chart, from just before 3 PM east, with the ATA added. I have marked 2 LTD trade areas with arrows, but there are others. This is just a sampling of the day. What is not shown is our EminiScalp Intervals, which show us our target areas, etc.

MONDAY
NOVEMBER 28, 2011

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. By the way, even though last Friday was not a full trading day, it still was very nice. For all who believe that trading before a holiday can not be done, then it may be time to dump the old method. As long as the market is open there is potential for profit. I have included a shot from later this afternoon. Just a sample of the day, which was very nice. The chart shows only the ATA areas, I did not include the LTD. You may have to look close, the dots are all the same color. We trade the dots, not the color.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
NOVEMBER 23, 2011

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I would think that many are looking forward to spending time with family. As we approach the end of 2011, it may be a good idea to reevaluate your trading method and goals so that 2012 can be more of a productive year. To many traders are not doing as well as they wish and I do believe that some of this is due to the old way of thinking. This morning I received an email from a vendor who has spent many years in the pits. I am sure that personally he does well but a few of the comments he makes are bothersome. Of course, he is one of many who think and possibly trade the old school way. Before I go any further, I also heard, as per a study recently done, that the most successful traders do not use indicators or head and shoulders, etc. Give this some thought as you move into the new year. Back to my story. As I mentioned, this fellow is probably a seasoned trader but his message to others who are trying to learn, miss the mark. Please understand that what is written here is my opinion only. So, what bothers me? His comments about stops. He says that stops are essential, I certainly do agree, but he also goes on to say that having a stop is like you writing a check. You write a check, you give it to someone, and expect it to be cashed. This is saying that your stop is expected to get hit. Some of the comments I have heard from vendors do not help with trader confidence. There is no way that I would accept a stop when I trade, I expect profit. My stop is not my target, it is there to protect me from market forces beyond my control, it is not there to protect me from my own method. Comments like " a stop is like you writing a check to someone else, expect it to be cashed", " your stop is your best friend", " I have an indicator that eliminates chop", " you should have a profit target 3 times your stop" or " don't trade with money you can not afford to lose", are statements that do not build confidence. In fact, they seem to be the type of statements that put you into a mindset of defeat. After a while you will accept your losses because you are no different from most traders. Also, please understand that a cost of a method does not at all reflect on the viability of it. Personally I do not see anything out there that can do what my Eminiscalp can do, for the type of traders we are. Don't let all of this expensive stuff fool you. What you need to do is find a successful method (Eminiscalp) and practice until your confidence is where it should be. Shed all of these cliches and the old way of thinking, otherwise you will continue to trade the same way.

HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING

Shown below is a LTD chart with the ATA added. Those who attended our webinar last Friday should have an understanding on how to trade the dots. This shot was taken just after noon, east time. You have to look close, I wanted to get as much of the chart posted as possible. The dots are the same color, and following the rules, even during this time of the day, showed some very nice and profitable setups. What is not shown on the chart is our Eminiscalp Intervals, which we use for our LTD setups. LTD and ATA, perfect together.
Have a great weekend

Ok, one more LTD-ATA shot, taken just before 3 PM east.

I just finished reading an article in the October 17, 2011 issue of Fortune Magazine. A very interesting piece comparing the behavioral patterns of 2 groups, both with the goal of reaching the South Pole. Both groups encountered the exact same conditions regarding weather, supplies and other related conditions. The results were successful for one group and tragic for the other. A very interesting article with the emphasis on behavioral patterns, as I mentioned. In trading, with all conditions the same, one trader will see things one way and another trader may see things differently. The results are different outcomes but with the exact same conditions. I believe all traders have the ability to be successful but............... I addressed this in my most recent webinar. As a retired teacher, I can go over a concept with 30 students. Twenty will understand and apply right away. Out of the remaining 10, 5 will take a little longer. Of the remaining 5, 3 will accept the fact that this is not their cup of tea. The remaining 2 may blame everyone else for their lack of understanding. All were taugh with the same conditions, but the results were different for some. The brain are certainly complex.

A Sierrachart shot from this morning. Trying to post everyday, but I may miss the goal now and then. I am adding a new page to this site entitled "Reality". It will be a page of information regarding my trading observations. All info is how I see things and some may not agree. There is always the possibility that what is written just may help someone see the market in a different light which may be of help.

A NinjaTrader shot from the late afternoon trading session. Nice way to wrap up the day. Of course, this was just a part of the move down.

The following is a pre market shot from this morning. By the way, I did not forget to put up the page I had mentioned in a prior blog regarding my up coming book. I have no excuse other than being busy. I have received some interesting information from traders that will be included. Thanks for taking the time to submit your experiences.

THURSDAY
OCTOBER 20, 2011

I have included 3 shots from this morning. The first is a NinjaTrader shot taken before the news at 10 AM east. The second is a NinjaTrader shot taken just before the news and with setups following the news. The third is a SierraCharts shot taken just before noon east.

OCTOBER 18, 2011

The Sierrachart shot below is from this morning. Once our upper target was hit and the price moved to our first lower target, we had an idea of where price was going to go. Nice short setups on the way down. May be a little difficult to see, want to squeeze in the whole picture. This short began around 1198.50 ( a dot in the upper left hand corner was the clue) with short setups on the way down to our target.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
OCTOBER 17, 2011

A ninja shot from later in the day. There was a setup long, for those who know what we look for, at the arrow as well as a prior short to the arrow(don't want to show to much). Anyway, the time period shown plus the previous short resulted in at least 15 ticks without attempting to get it all (we know where the targets are for each entry). A very safe way to trade. Not bad. We have a specific way of taking the trades when a dot appears. Of course, nice setups all day on both NinjaTrader and Sierracharts.

The shot below is an extension of above. Look at the potential for profit. 30 minutes of trading produced potential profits whereas most traders will sit all day for this, assuming they know what to look for.

An ATA shot a few minutes after the open. Not going to be around all day so I may not get any more shots up. Have a great weekend.

A pre market shot. Range was narrow, still had setups.

This setup below took us right to our known target, plus more. The target was well known, even when the price was 1194, actually it was known right at the open.

I am writing just after 9 AM east. Had some real nice setups pre market. I want to thank all for the nice comments I have been getting in regard to the ATA. I have a feeling that this may be what most traders are looking for. One fellow from another part of the world comments" I am pleased, very pleased". And so are so many others as I can see. Anyway, I sent the first few chapters of my book off to the publisher for editing. My target date is the end of the year, we will see how it goes. The book will be very interesting, containing trading insights, comments, experiences and some crazy stuff emailed to me by traders. If you have any comments for the book, as I have received some good stuff from my last request, let me know. I will add some interesting content from our traders, but the book will also have some of the strange and outrageous stuff that I have received over the past few years. Have a great trading day.

"Hi Al

Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful system of trading! I'm thoroughly enjoying this style of trading where I can make my money in a few minutes and then walk away! Most systems I've traded required me to sit at my desk forever and ever! Your trading system is such a breath of fresh air! Kudos to you!" E

" This is just a beautiful thing"
R

Just 2 comments received today by traders who are trading the ATA. I know, you have your doubts. I put nothing on this site without the approval of the trader who made the comment. In fact, there are more but I just want to give an idea of what we have. Hey, I had one fellow, whom I don't know, write and accuse me of more or less stealing the Sierrachart and NinjaTrader pics that are on this site. Sierracharts approved it and even emailed me the file. NinjaTrader did the same. Any doubters out there, email them. Just want to clear the air as I can see that even though I don't even know or have had any contact with some traders, they believe that everyone is out to dupe them. I have a method, or I should say a number of methods, that are superior at a cost that is a fraction of what they are worth. It just takes dedication and determination. Anyway, if I did not get to all the NinjaTraders out there as per the blog yesterday, please email me for the free enhancement. And yes, this morning was just great. Not sure if I will get back to write, so if not, have a great weekend.

______________________________________________________

THURSDAY
SEPTEMBER 29, 2011

Yup, it was a nice morning and pre market. Anyway, this is for our NINJATRADERs. I have an enhancement for you that I emailed today. If by chance you did not receive it, please email me. You do want to try this out.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2011

Finally got the chance to post, the past days have been exceedingly busy, a good busy though. I have been getting some nice feedback from the ATA. One comment is posted on the Andrea Trade Alert page and I will add one more here ( there are more) at the end of this post. Just wanted to take a second and explain the difference between our other methods and the ATA. The ATA is built upon the other methods with extra stuff built in. It contains NO INDICATORS. With the other EMINISCALP methods, you visually identify the setups in our trade area. With the ATA, the "DOT" identifies the trade area for you. The ATA is for those who my need an extra "visual" sign. With all of other methods, the documentation explains the trade setups, the ATA is proprietary, it shows the setups without explanation. You may not care about the engineering that allows your car to get you to work, as long as it does. Same principle. Anyway, a recent ATA comment:

"Al, looks like you cracked the code, this is just absolutely great"

This says it all.

All of our trading days are fine, we look forward to them, but today was just great. Not so good for the markets in general, but for traders, assuming you know what to do, it was outstanding. Nice volume, great volatility and superb setups, ATA as well as all of our Eminiscalp methods. Could post a lot of screen shots today, just to much to show. In any case we added a page called "NEWS". We have partnered with NinjaTrader, some details on the NEWS page.

The 2 ATA screen shots below were just before 10 AM east. The first is a NinjaTrader shot and the second a Sierrachart shot. The price went down further as we had a DEFINITE lower target. Price eventually got to our target, went through to lower target areas.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
SEPTEMBER 17, 2011

I recently received an email from a trader who has the sincere desire to be successful but is hitting stumbling blocks along the way. This trader seems to understand his personality as a trader as he writes " I am also a victim of my own undisciplined risk taking and overleveraging of positions." He goes on to say that he has the methodologies of 2 systems from ---- ------- and - - -- ------- in his head along with a newly purchased ---- --- indicator from --- -----. He says that he understands why he is disoriented as he attempts to incorporate all these different principles from these multiple systems. He wants to rid himself of bad habits and he is looking for a method with concrete rules and very little, if any, subjectivity. He is trading with uncertainty resulting in a complete lack of confidence. He mentions 3 the vendors in his email (all of which are individually expensive), which I marked as dashes. Are these 3 methods from these vendors not any good? I believe they are but since they are all based on indicators, I personally do not see how anyone could be a consistently successful trader using them. This trader also mentions that not one of these systems incorporate rules. And these vendors are well known. This is not the first email I have received over the past 2+ years that EMINISCALP has been available. If indicator methods worked as well as one would hope, then the markets would become stagnant as there would be no one losing money as all indicator traders would be profitable. I am thankful for indicator traders as are so are many EMINISCALP traders. In any case, I absolutely believe that the trader who wrote this email will find success and profitability. Why? Because he understands his shortcomings and not once did he pass the blame on to anyone else. This is the first step to success. He will overcome his bad habits and he will acquire the confidence because he is on a mission. He knows what he must do, he just needs a method that can help him reach his goal:EMINISCALP.

Have a great weekend.

I worked on my book for just a short time while we were away. I will be adding a page devoted to it soon. I will be going over trading concepts, telling interesting stories and writing about what I believe is needed for successful trading. It will be a worthwhile and educational read. If you would like to add a few comments or a short story, email me with it and I just may add your experiences, thoughts, etc. Well back to trading.

FRIDAY
SEPTEMBER 9, 2011

The NinjaTrader shot below was from this morning. There were more, just an example.setups look like this. We have a specific way of trading the dots, follow the basic rules and you should be pleased. Anyway, I am going to explain some of my concepts in my book. Yes, I am writing a book, hopefully to be completed by the end of this year. I have the publisher and it will be available on Amazon.com both paperback and Kindle. What will be in it? A lot of stuff. It will be good reading and certainly informative and educational. I was a teacher for 41 years and I know what I am doing. I realize it may be difficult to get into the learning mode as you get older, as you move further away from high school and college. Study and focus skills diminish. But, successful trading does require focus, discipline and patience. Anyway, I am going to add a page on this site which will highlight some of the areas I will cover. Have a great weekend.

It certainly was a very nice trading day. Figured I would add a Sierrachart shot from the end of the day.

As per yesterdays post, NinjaTrader ATA is now available. But, I will not be around from Saturday 9/10 to Thursday mid day 9/15. You can email me your machine ID and I can get you registered, but I will not be able to respond to your emails for a few days. I sent it out to one of our traders yesterday and his comment today was "it is working like a charm". So, if you email and I don't respond, I will get back to you when I return.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2011

As of today 9/7/2011, ATA is now available for NinjaTrader as well as Sierracharts.

The following is a NinjaTrader screen shot from around 8:30 AM east. There is a specific way we trade the dots for both Sierracharts and NinjaTrader. Follow the rules and you should be very pleased. Read yesterdays post for more information.

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
SEPTEMBER 6, 2011

The NinjaTrader ATA is completed. It was sent to NinjaTrader for review and approval, which should not be a problem. I hope to hear something within a day or so. In order for it to work, I would need your machine ID, which I think is how you have your NinjaTrader installed. On the control center, go to "help", then "about", it will be listed. As a heads up, I will be away from my computer from Saturday 9/10 until mid day Thursday 9/15. I don't want anyone sending me anything or emailing me and then wonder why I am not responding. I hope all had a nice holiday weekend.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2011

A few NinjaTrader shots from the pre market. The last was just before the 8:30 news. All of the parameters are not set up yet, still working on them. Have to take a day or so to test each once configured.

The following 2 NinjaTrader charts were taken during the regular session. The first shot was just around news time. Of course this is a difficult time for most to trade and I would not encourage anyone to try and trade the news. In working on the NinjaTrader ATA, just want to show how the NinjaTrader ATA looks and works in a fast market, even before completion. The second shot was taken a little later. This may be the last shots for the day. By the way, I received a video email from a vendor who is telling his traders that the market can not be traded because of the holiday, and yesterday was the last trading day until Tuesday. If the market is open, it can be traded, just have to know what you are doing.You may have to look close for the dots, they are there.

_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
AUGUST 31, 2011

Another fast but very nice month. Who says summer trading is not good. Anyway, a few comments. I just received an unsolicited email that I would like to share. I am editing a bit of it but the numbers are as what was written.

"Al, I purchased Eminiscalp a while ago and never really got into it. I recently reread your method and committed myself to getting it right. I'm glad I did! Over the past four trading days, I've made between 5 & 11 pts per contract while trading between 7:30am - 10:30am. All it takes is discipline and patience."

Just like I have been talking about for the past number of years. But, not all emails are like this. I received an email from a trader who is interested in the ATA but was annoyed that any profit that he makes during the nice part of the trading day is eaten up during chop. If one continues to lose money during chop, then why trade it. Anyway, if he is losing money at this time, then someone is making money. Hmmm. There is no method in the world that is going to make the market trade any different. If you are not skilled to trade chop, then stay away. It is like a person getting their car washed in the rain. They dried it off, but it is still wet, and they don't understand why it won't stay dry. There are sunny, no rain days to wash your car. This is the trader logic that enables Eminiscalp traders to prosper.
There is a vendor who I receive emails from on occasion who sends a daily video. He opens with something like this: If you don't have money you can afford to lose, then you should not be playing this game. Trading is not a game and if you go into the trading day expecting to lose, you will. Comments like this do not build confidence, especially if you have to deal with 6 point stops that get hit quite often. Trading does not have to be gambling, not if you take the time and effort to learn a method that has proven to be successful, but only if you are disciplined and have patience, as stated above.
EMINISCALP

I have 2 shots from this morning. This is the NinjaTrader ATA. There is still more work to be done, but progress is being made. I received many emails from traders asking me to let them know when the Ninja ATA becomes available. I will do my best to contact you, but I would recommend that you check the site on occasion. There are some more tweaks as well as the licensing issue to take care off. We are moving ahead though.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
AUGUST 27, 2011

It was a very nice trading week, but tough for those dealing with the hurricane. Hurricane Irene is heading north and expected to reach our area Sunday. This could mean power outages. If you email me and I don't respond right away, which I try to do, I will get back to you asap. Have a great weekend.

THURSDAY
AUGUST 25, 2011

Below is a chart from just before 10 AM east. Some of the ones I have been posting have been pre market , "slow time", as some call it, and late in the day. Just want to show that the ATA works during the whole trading day. I have been thinking about the dilemma traders have in working with a method. About a year ago I remember getting an email from a trader I never met. In his email he asked me if he purchased EMINISCALP was I going to screw him like every other vendor did. WHOA!! I feel bad for this guy. He wants to be a successful trader but he sincerely believes all method vendors are out just to take his money. I don't see it that way at all. No doubt that many of these methods and systems are way to expensive, and possibly to difficult to understand, for the most part, most of these vendors are sincere. In many cases, the issue may partly be the trader. As an example, let's use a child attempting to learn to ride a bike. If the parent had to purchase a new bike for the kid every time he or she fell, the parent would go broke. The kid may feel that the bike is at fault, so buy me a new one. The child does not want to take the time to learn and puts the blame on someone or something else. Once the child learns to ride, through dedication and desire, then all they have to do is follow the rules so they can ride safely. No matter how good you are on the bike, ride carelessly and there is a problem. I see a parallel here. What ever method you are using, whether EMINISCALP or an other, take the time to learn it. If you feel that you can not be successful with it, then move on. I believe that EMINISCALP is all you will EVER need. Take the time to understand the market and you should see very pleasing results.

_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
AUGUST 24, 2011

Of course the past days have been very nice. I believe this: Eminiscalp is all you will EVER need in order to become a successful trader. Your indicators, crossed lines and whatever have not been working and there is no change in sight. It will be the same old thing for you day after day. If you believe you have a method that can put you on the right side of profitability, then DEDICATE yourself to learning it. To many traders jump all over the place looking for the perfect method. Most methods are indicators and they just do not work. If that is the case, go with what does and take the time and patience to make it work for you. Clear off the clutter from your screen and make your trading life a bit less stressful. Anyway, a screen shot from about 12:30 PM today, and this was the "slow" time as many claim.

What is that word that a lot of kids use when things go well for them? Ah yes

SWEET

Below was the last 12 or so minutes or so of the session.

Yes, today was a nice day. Anyway it looks like we can move ahead with the ATA for Ninjatrader. I have a few hurdles to get over but I don't think they will be a problem.

I have attached 2 screen shots from this morning showing ATA setups. The first, a long setup at 6:53 AM east and the second a short setup at 7:07 AM east. Many of the previous shots from past days represent what goes on during the day. I am not a very good multitasker and as a result, I have to keep focused on my charts. This is where many traders fall down. Checking emails, surfing the net, taking phone calls , dozing off are a few of the many distractions that face a trader. They can cause late or missed entries which can result in stops, and this can cause anger and frustration. Discipline and focus are required.

In the screen shot below, the long began around 10:42 AM east. Both news events at 8:30 and 10 were picked very nice by the ATA. Also many nice setups this morning. Probably the last post for today. Hope your day is going well.

Yesterday was a very nice day, just did not get a chance to post. Probably will not post every day, but will try. I am writing this at 7:36 AM east. I received a few inquiries in regard pre market trading. I have included a screen shot below from early this morning. Take a look and you decide if pre market is for you. Every one of the signals produced profit. The signal with the arrow shows a short, BUT, if you are aware of our rules, which comes along with the ATA, you would have known not to take that entry as there was a SPECIFIC target that price was heading for, and it got there and beyond. At times you do get counter signals. Why? Because if you are long, as in this case, traders are taking their profits, causing a pullback. Our rules are few and they are common sense. Follow them, put in the screen time and you could be on your way to being a consistently profitable trader. The first setup shown below, a long, in the left hand corner, was about 4:40 AM east and the last signal, a short setup, was around 7:04 AM east. When a dot appears, that is where it is. It does not get "pushed" around as the bar moves as I have seen with some other methods. Not sure if I will get to post the rest of the day, just wanted to share.

The ANDREA TRADE ALERT page is up. Additional information will be added when the ATA is available. Below are a few shots from this morning and although the volume was much less than any day last week, the trading was still excellent. Our PLUS and LTD entries were great as well as our ATA which are shown below. This shot was from just before the 8:30 AM east news.

The shot below was after the open

And this shot was from just before 10AM east

Of course there were other nice opportunities, but just these 3 screen shots alone, showing the setups, would satisfy most traders.
Hope your day is going well.

The shot below was taken just after 2:30 East. How did the ATA know a move was about to happen(first green dot) and look at that, a short signal at the new high of day. How did the ATA know that? HMMM

AUGUST 12, 2011

Below is a shot taken today. The first ATA trade(green dot long) was about 12:17 east and the last setup shown was about 12:50 east. There are at least 7 setups for a minimum of 1 point each. Even trading 2 contracts for 3 ticks adds up very nice, and this was the "slow" time of the day. Look what took place in just about 33 minutes. Of course, you just don't have to take 3 ticks, with proper management you should do quite a bit better. But, considering how most traders trade, better safe than sorry. Anyway, the morning, pre market included was just outstanding.

After I posted this screen shot I received an email from a vendor (yes, I am on some mailing lists) in regard to the trading conditions this past week. This vendor mentions that many trading platforms "locked up" because of these trading conditions. Firstly, the trading conditions were excellent and if your stuff locked up, then you missed some real nice opportunities. Secondly, if you experienced this lock up condition, it is time to bail on your data provider. This is a business where scenarios such as this is unacceptable. I did not lock up once, and apparently neither did this vendor, as we seem to be using the same brokerage firm and data. I know this because he mentions it in his email. Trading can be difficult enough without freezes and the resulting anger and frustration that follows. As has been said many times, if you continue doing the same old thing, you will get the same old results.

Just thought I would throw one more chart up. This took place around 3:30 East. A nice long alert, then a short alert, short, short. BUT, the move does get exhausted after a few short alerts, so one has to be careful that they don't sell the bottom. We have a good idea of where the target areas are, so we look for a long alert, which did happen shortly thereafter.

One last chart for the day. This happened right after the screen shot above it. Took us int 3:41 east or so . Have a great weekend.

I have included 3 shots from this morning. The first is just before 9 AM east, the second is just after the open and the third is just after 10 AM east. There were others in between as well as pre market. I heard a business report on the news this morning that the market conditions these past few days was a traders dream. Well, for once the talking heads got it right, because the conditions were just great. But, even with a toned down market, our methods do just fine. Anyway, I am close to completing the entry alert. I am working on the page now. Just to be up front, our alerts will work only with Sierracharts for now. Hopefully Ninja down the road. I realize that it is difficult for many to change their charting package, but if what you are using does not allow you to be consistently profitable, you should consider something that does. I am not pushing Sierracharts and I get nothing if anyone uses them, as Sierracharts has no idea who sent you. But for the possiblity of free data and free charts, using reliable data and charts, where you have the ability to finally be profitable, you should look into a free real time demo. So, why the delay in getting the alert out there? Working on a security issue whereas it can not be reversed engineered or shared. Almost done. Well, I expect the rest of the trading day to be great but for now I am going outside to enjoy a nice day here in Northeast New Jersey.

Below is a shot from this morning. The boxed in area is the 8:30 east news time, which may be a good idea to stay away from for most traders. As I write this, about 9 AM east, the volume is already over 1.4 million contracts. This premarket alerts have just been great. I am working diligently to get the ATA up and running and I am sure it will be soon. I have had a tremendous amount of interest in it, so I am working to complete all of the tweeks. In regard to the screen shot below, every dot showed profit. All of this will be explained in the info. Not sure if I will post any more today. Have a great trading day.

Just thought I would add one more shot below. This took place just after 9AM east. Just these 2 shots, showing the entries, would satisfy most traders for the day, but we have just begun.

OK, I will add 1 more shot from this morning. The shot below shows a short entry sometime before 10AM east. Just after the short alert, there was a longalert where the priced turned. It is difficult to program every turn and circumstance, as we are dealing with human behavior, BUT, for those who decide to purchase the ATA, I will show you how I determine turning points. In any case, just taking the dot setups should please any trader. Setting your profit goal to a predetermined amount for any of the trade setups shown this morning should meet your profit goals. Look at what happened from just before the open until just before 10AM east, and we are not even factoring in the great premarket or the remainder of the day!!!.

So far today, I am writing about 10:30 AM east, has been a great trading day. If you can tear yourself away from watching indicators and focus on price, of course you have to know what to look for, you can become a successful trader. Focusing on price may be challenging for some because of what has been taught in the past. Once learned, it is not that difficult. In any case, the Andrea Trade Alert will be offered soon. I had hoped by today but there are just a few things to work out. Nothing to do with the entries, just working out the technicalities of making it public. Below is a shot of an ATA setup just before I wrote this. See the red dot in the upper left corner:

Today was one great trading day. Very nice moves. Below is a shot just after 9:45 AM east.

You have to look close, it is a tight squeeze. 1297.50 down to 1276 area. Short signals, not one long signal at all. Nice.

Another shot from this afternoon. An up, down,up. Nice as well

This one is easier to see. Anyway, premarket, from about 7:30 east for the next 1 1/2 hour, there were at least 5 ATA alerts, minimal of one point each, many had more. Of course there was a lull during the day, but to be expected considering the movement. All in all, nice setups ALL day long. I may not be posting for a few days, want to work on the Andrea Trade Alert during my spare time. Would like to have it ready this week. Just a few caveats to work out.

_____________________________________________________

FRIDAY
JULY 29, 2011

A very nice morning, ALL of our methods worked out nicely, as expected. Below is a screen shot of our Andrea Trade Alert. A nice long alert and a nice short alert, right after 10:00AM east sometime. Hey, there were more, just showing an example. Getting closer to making Andrea Trade Alert a reality. Hope to have the info up sometime this week.

Once the dots appear, they stay put. They do not move with price, as I have seen on some other signal methods. The entry is 2-3 ticks from the end of the bar where the dot is. Doesn't get any better than that. Of course, more very nice signals are expected as the day progresses. Have a great weekend.

JULY 28, 2011

I am writing this about 9 AM east. I am an early riser and normally trade the pre market. This morning, as with most mornings, we have some real nice setups. For just over the past 2 hours there were at least 6 multi point moves, all which were signaled by our on chart Andrea Trade Alert. I hope to have this out soon, just have to get a few details worked out. A signal appears, take the entry. That is it. By the way, we have signals all day long but I just wanted to mention that pre market is very nice, a plus for those who may be able to only trade then. Below is a hot from this morning, just after 8:30 AM east. Well, I expect another great day. I hope yours is just as profitable.

MONDAY
JULY 25, 2011

For many, this may have been a tough trading day. But, if you know what you are doing and know the target areas, then it should have been a profitable day. In any case, we have something on the horizon that may make trading for some a little easier. I will have a page up in the very near future, hopefully this week, explaining what it is. For now I will call it the Andrea Trade Alert. Have been working on this for months and when I get the remaining kinks worked out, which I will, then this will probably be the only entry method you will ever need. By the way, I plan on having a free trial period. Stay tuned.

Once again time got away from me. I figured things may slow down a bit because of the summer but it has been brisk. Just the other day I was going over our few, simple, logical and necessary rules with a few of our newer traders. These are rules to trade by and if you are not aware of them, then you are sunk. A few of these traders now understood why they were getting stopped so frequently. With all the methods and systems they previously purchased, these rules never were even talked about. These are not rules that I made up, they are rules the markets trade by and if you are unaware of them then kiss your account goodbye. Just one of our rules, something that happens almost every trading day, will not only assist you in not getting stopped but can also help put you in a nice profitable position. Hey, I am not a promoter or marketer, but I have something here that can certainly help you become successful. Stumbling upon my site is your good fortune. Not acting upon what I have to offer will just allow an Eminiscalp trader to increase his or her good fortune because those in the know take from those who don't know. Learn to follow rules and directions, ask if you don't understand, work on patience and discipline and you could be one of the few who know.

It was one nice week. Our LTD method is just great and even proved itself pre market all week, although it is great ALL day. But for those who only can trade early or later, our setups are the best. Here is one comment from a satisfied EMINISCALP trader "

Hi Al,

thanks again for the material on the limited. It has proved very valuable and I am having good days. I am glad that you chose to reveal this to a select few, and very grateful that I was one.
Best,

This fellow has been working with our LTD over the past 2 months or so and he has found success.
Have a great weekend

Another very nice day. I received an email from one of our traders who joined up with us about 2 1/2 months ago. To be brief, this is what he relayed to me: " Never thought it could be done. Your way of looking at the market and the method used to get in and out of a trade has finally put me on the profitable side of trading. This past month has just been wonderful. I thought possibly the first day of success was just an accident. Then it became two days. After the first week I knew it was for real. Now it has been 30 days and I have no complaints. Like you told me more times that I can remember, the market trades the same every day. Now, I know what you mean. Al, you are the best, thanks. Mike" Well, that was nice. Mike put his time in and he overcame the naysayers and the old stuff. It may take a little longer for some than others, but do you really think that even 2 months is to much to ask to become a profitable trader? For some it is. There are those who want success but have no desire to work for it. That is why over 90% of those who trade give the rest the profits.

Why the smile face yesterday? Because it was a real nice day as was today. Some setups took a little longer to complete, but that is what takes place during this time. It does not mean that the market can not be traded, it means that patience and discipline is key. If you are having difficulty trading this market, then stop. All you will be doing is throwing your money away. Learn first, then trade.

I received an email from a vendor who supposedly has 25+ years in the markets. I guess his method is good, for those who choose to trade his way, but it is not my cup of tea. He shut down after Wednesday because he says the market is to unstable for anyone to trade. If that is what his method tells him to do, then follow the rules. One thing that struck me was his comment "Thank God for stops". What does that tell you. Getting stopped is unacceptable, but it does happen now and then. But to focus on them is not the way to trade, our focus is the profit target. This whole week was just great, yesterday included. This morning, from 6:30 east, we already had 3 nice setups that were profitable, one which just completed, and it is not quite 8:00 AM yet. This is going to be a beautiful day. If you know how to trade, then all days can be beautiful. Trading is a business not a game. Just because the July 4 holiday is around the corner does not mean business stops. Stores don't close because people go away. As long as the markets are open, there are possibilities for profit. I am here to teach you how to trade, and I know how to teach. Those who recently signed on who thought that it may be a good idea to wait because of what they were told about summer time trading are very happy they took the opportunity. Have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July.

Yes, excellent trading the past days, and well before that and it is expected to continue. I have put a lot of thought into why most traders lose money on a consistent basis. Other than a method that does not work, a major cause could be the constant message of " Don't trade with money you can not afford to lose", and " be sure to use your stops if you are going to play this game". You certainly can lose a lot of money trading and stops are absolutely necessary. But, the doom and gloom warnings only reinforce the negativity of trading. And, this is not a game. As a result, traders have the idea that this is gambling. Let's say a trader has 3 or 4 loses in a row and then finally a profitable trade. He is elated, like a gambler would be. I don't see trading as a casino, I see it as a business. If you are not confident that the trade you enter will be successful, then you should not be trading. Successful trading is absolutely possible. Your goal should be on your target, not your stop. When this mindset changes, the success will follow. BUT, you need a method that puts you on the profitable side and you need to dedicate yourself to putting in the screen time. Believe me, it gets easier and easier with practice, but only if you have the proper method.

I haven't written in a while, just have been busy. One of our new traders, who came aboard about 3 weeks ago, says he is doing great and that he was on the verge of throwing in the towel. "In the back of my mind I really never thought anyone could make money doing this. I just did not want to give in, figure I would go through all the methods I could afford before I gave up. Now, I am not giving up. Thanks Al" It doesn't get better than that. The market has a rhythm but most believe it is chaotic. Understand this rhythm and you begin to understand market direction and when this happens: PROFIT.

FRIDAY
MAY 27, 2011

This was just one GREAT week for EMINISCALP. Beautiful setups every day all week. There are those who close up shop after Tuesday because of the holiday coming up. The claim is that the market is just to wild and can not be traded. ABSOLUTELY not true. If you know what you are doing, then you will be able to trade. It does not make sense for a trader, who does this full time, or even part time, to have to walk away and give up potential profits for 2 or 3 days because he or she does not know what to do. As long as the market is open, it can be traded. By the way, our EMINISCALP LTD now includes the setups for the NQ,YM and TF, as well as for the ES. One great method. Have a nice weekend.

May 23, 2011

Once again time got away from me, but I am finally able to write. I have been following the veteran trader I mentioned earlier, the one with the 6 point stops. His method showed losses for 4 consecutive days and 8 out of 12 days were losses. At $300 a trade, 3 trades a day, you can see very easily determine just how long you will survive. Does this trader know what he is doing? I am sure he does and eventually he may get back on track. But those who follow him may never recover. This long term trading with huge stops using technical analysis is not suited for most traders, even though the trading community may think so. Guess I am from a different school. Another trading vendor, whom I get emails from, does not trade the ES because he says it is untradeable. Hmm, I don't see it that way. I believe all markets can be traded, you just have to spend the time working with them. I see the ES as being very easy to trade as the same scenarios happen day in and day out. As a prospective successful trader, you must put the time in to become successful. If you rely on someone else making calls for you, or if you rely on a software package making you money, your account will dwindle fast. Take the bull by the horns and be in charge of your own money and take the time and effort that it takes to be a successful trader and I am sure it will pay off. Just keep it simple and do not look at all the other stuff for your trade confirmation.

No superstition here, just a nice day and week of trading. Although I unsubscribed from a fellow who is selling his program, I still get the emails with a video attached. So, I watch some of them just to see what others are doing that they shouldn't be. This guy, seemingly a nice fellow, was stopped on all of his trades on Wednesday and Thursday. With his 6 point stops, you are probably finished trading, assuming you are trading his style. I think he had 3 stops Wednesday and 2 Thursday and in his Thursday nite video he said that he understood what had happened and that Friday he would not be stopped at all because the market, was moving up. Hmmm, could be a problem. I am just using this as an example because this is the way not to trade, as far as I am concerned and it also is why many traders are disgusted, beat up and frustrated. You have to take baby steps before you take giant steps. Six point stops are giant steps. Our baby steps can make you consistently profitable day after day with minimal risk. Many of these market experts are not experts at all, they just guess. The technical analysis they use does not work as the past few days have proven. I am not a market expert, I am an expert with my method. I do not care if the past few days show bull or bear flags or if there are heads and shoulders showing up. Keep trading like this and you will not be trading very long. These types of losses are absolutely unacceptable, and no one should be subjected to them. If you have had enough of all of this email me.

We have great and abundant setups all day long, enough to satisfy any trader, I would certainly hope. But, there is usually one "circumstance" that takes place almost every session. I wrote about this previously. Well, it happened again today and it is usually at least a 3 point trade. I am not saying that you take this or any trade willy nilly just because you know the target. You take an entry on a setup. Just this trade alone could be the profit a trader may be looking for. We look for our LTD setup, which will happen, when we realize the "circumstance". The stress level is low and the confidence is high. Anyway, I received an email this weekend from a trader who offered me about 1/3 of the cost of my LTD method, inferring that he was helping me out as something is better than nothing. Actually, I don't blame the guy for trying but don't email me and attempt to bargain. I will not budge, as it would not be fair to those who have already purchased, not to mention the other reasons. I guess this guy figured I needed the sale and the money, as he possibly got other method vendors who may be desperate to this. I don't need your money, but I am a capitalist and I have something that can make you profitable. Bill Gates doesn't need your money but he is not giving away his product and Steve Jobs, I am sure doesn't need you money either, but he is not giving away his stuff. If you want to be a profitable trader, then take the plunge. I guess the accomplishment is getting the product cheaper than someone else when the accomplishment should be working towards and achieving the goal of successful trading.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
MAY 8, 2011

It has been a while since I wrote a weekend edition. This was one spectacular week for EMINISCALP traders. The EMINISCALP LTD performed as expected with an abundance of trades every day. Whether you are trading EMINISCALP or EMINISCALP LTD, there is a rule that we follow which results in a trade entry. It is a trade that results in at least 3 points and although the price may not go directly 3 points without looking back, it is still a 3 point trade. It usually happens every day and sometimes twice a day, as it did numerous times this week. This one trade alone is worth at least 15 points for the week and as I mentioned, it is something that usually happens over and over again. Of course, take our other setups to their target areas, as they usually happen every day, and you can see just how profitable our method can be. This EMINISCALP LTD is such a great, simple and profitable method that I may just offer it with our EMINISCALP entries as a bonus. I do not believe that there is any method available that has the profit potential of EMINISCALP LTD, no matter what you pay. You would not believe how many traders have signed on with me that have spent years with a method, only to lose most of their account. This is a common occurrence. But, the success depends on you. Breaking bad habits can be difficult. Once you overcome all the unproductive stuff you have been doing THEN you can concentrate on successful trading.

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
MAY 3, 2011.

The first post of May and I must say that all is going extremely well. Welcome to our new traders and I am pleased that EMINISCALP is treating you well. Our EMINISCALP LTD is just unbelievable as it is showing profitable setups ALL day long. I put up a new page, nothing earth shattering, but some of my thoughts for those who may be new at trading. I am getting the impression that in general, trading has the reputation that you can only get involved if you want to "play" and if you have "disposable" income. I see trading as a bonafide business. With trading comes the disclaimer that you can lose a lot of money and only trade money that you can afford to lose. Our train of thought is to trade to make money, not lose it. Realistically, why would anyone want to throw their money away if they do not know what they are doing. Possibly a gambler will and this can be a form of gambling but only for those who are not prepared. I was emailed a video from a fellow who offers a method and he continually calls trading a "game" and trade only if you have "disposable" income. When people go into business there is always a risk. Their intent is to make money and to build a successful business. If they are to be successful, they do their homework and they should know their product and market. Trading, in my opinion, is no different from any other business. The great part about trading is that it can be started for very little cash outlay, in comparison to what starting other businesses may cost. But the rewards can be very, very nice. But it does take knowledge and determination and not everyone has the personality to be a business person. For those who are successful traders, I don't think you look at it as a game. There is no logical way that people are just sitting around their house with money that they want to throw away because it is disposable. If you want to become a successful and profitable trader, make you hard earned dollars work for you by learning the craft before you dispose of your money. Treat trading like a business, respect the fact that it is not a game, take time to learn with a method that has the ability to make you successful (EMINISCALP), then maybe you will have disposable income that you can use to make your life more enjoyable.

It has been a while since I wrote last, but it has also been a productive time. Since our offering of EMINISCALP LTD on April 14, it has been busy. Almost immediately I had a great response and a few have been trading the LTD method now for about 2 weeks. Here are a few of the comments from a number of our traders: " I LOVE this LTD" ( that says it all) and " LTD works just great", and " If I had known about this years ago, I could have avoided all of the trading turmoil", and " All these years spent on a whole bunch of crazy methods, and LTD finally shows me how it is done, Thanks Al"

Well, there you have it. If you are unable to trade successfully with EMINISCALP LTD, then there is nothing left out there. It is so simple, yet profitable, with ample setups all day. I think I just may merge our regular EMINISCALP with EMINISCALP LTD, as in the EMINISCALP ELITE, and just offer that. As long as you follow rules and stay focused, I can not see how you could not be successful. LTD is absolutely simple and I don't think I will ever have to look for anything else, because I don't believe there is anything else. I am not saying that trading is easy, but it is not as difficult as some want you to believe. To have continious profit potential, day after day, with minimal risk, is a traders dream. That is what we have. So, continue with the indicators, head and shoulders, the crossed lines, etc. I don't believe that you will EVER be continually successful with all of that. The reason all that stuff is being offered is because that is all they know. They apparently do not know what we know. As one of our guys so keenly phrased it, "LTD has been staring me in the face all of these years. The hard part now will be to rid myself of all the junk that never made me a dime". Yup, that is the way it is. The hard part about LTD may just be you ridding yourself of all that stuff that never worked.
Have a great weekend.

A fantastic day. Both our PLUS, regular and LTD setups were just outstanding. Just after 9:00AM east, the market began making a nice move. We had a setup short at the 1309. 50 area. It was a PLUS, regular and LTD all wrapped into one. The price went to 1301.25 with setups occurring at critical areas on the way down. For the 1/2 hour there were setups long and short. It did not matter what the news was that caused this action, it made no difference. Our setups gave us the indication that the market was going somewhere. There is a critical aspect of the market that most traders are not aware of, and without this info, you are trading blind. That is why the very large majority of indicator and automated software methods are not profitable. This aspect is not part of their design. We know this and if and when you become aware of it, you will see a tremendous difference in your trading.

I did not forget to post here the past days, have been a bit busy working with new traders. The trading has been excellent and I was spending some of the time adding more to the website. I am not a web person, the purpose of this site is information. I have added info regarding our EMINISCALP LTD setup, which is absolutely hot, not to mention consistent. We now accept credit cards.

APRIL 3, 2011

The past week was just great even though we had some low volatility and low volume. These conditions did not matter. Actually all the past weeks have just been great. Someone recently mentioned to me that there is a system available that claims that it is impossible to capture 2 points per day. If this is true, then it is absurd. First of all, if 2 points is impossible to attain, then what is this system selling? If you can not get 2 points a day then either you do not know how to trade properly or the method/system you are trading from is flawed. Just read the statement above this blog, the one in green. Read what he writes. This statement is not a solicitation, just an email to me which shows the excitement that this trader is experiencing with Eminiscalp. Now, if this trader can do this, then all should be able to because we see the same thing. This trader is not even spending all day at the computer. So, to say 2 points is impossible just means to me that anyone making that statement or believes it really lacks market knowledge. But, I do realize that people are different. Being a teacher for 41 years, I do realize that the learning rate and capacity varies. So, what distinguishes the successful learner from the others? I believe it is determination, discipline and focus. I could have 20 students in a classroom and 15 successfully understand the concept and 5 do not. Were these 5 taught something different? Absolutely not. It may just take some more time to catch on. But with the determination and discipline, they should. So, out of those 5, 3 eventually understand. The last 2 may never get the hang of it. It may be their emotional and personality makeup, who knows. There are those who may never learn certain concepts, possibly because they are not wired for that particular field. Anyway, good things ahead. EMINISCALP LTD will be offered soon, just getting my stuff together. Thanks for making EMINISCALP such a success and I look forward to showing those doubters that 2 points is just a warm up for us. Have a great weekend and week ahead.

MARCH 29, 2011

It was 2 years ago last Friday, March 25, that I first opened this web site. These past 2 years have been very exciting and the response has been way better than I ever anticipated. When I first began, I had a goal in mind in regard to what how many Eminiscalp programs I could expect to be purchased. Well, this goal was surpassed the first 6 months and we are still going strong. I want to thank all of the traders who signed on with us. And, if these traders put forth the effort to become successful, then they will have success as well, and I know many of them have reached that goal. I do have to be honest though, you can't please all of the people all of the time. There are those who want success but who are unwilling to devote the time to achieve it. This happens in all walks of life. But, that is the human experience and that is what makes the world go round. It also enables us to profit. Any trader who continues to throw money at the market when they do not know what they are doing enables us to profit. And, there must be quite a few out there. Eminiscalp is a very easy method, and even though trading is not easy, our method will put you on the right track. I believe, as well as a very good many of our traders do, that if you dedicate yourself to mastering this, success can not be far off. Eminiscalp is one of, if not, the easiest method available. It does not take hours upon hours of study, it just takes practice. This practice is what helps build confidence. So, where do we go from here. Well, I will be offering Eminiscalp LTD to a select few. Our Eminiscalp Regular, "A", "B" and PLUS are highly successful and they are all you need. One of our traders, while trading our Eminiscalp method, came across something else that has proven to be another breakthrough. So, I am working on this now. There is basic function of the market that enables one to be profitable and successful. If you are unaware of this function, then no matter what method you trade, you are in for a very bumpy ride. Indicator type methods do not factor in this function, that is why they are not consistently profitable. We know what this function is and we take advantage of it. Really, where else could you purchase a method or program for what I charge, that has the ability to make you very profitable. I have the method, do you have the determination and discipline. In any case, thanks very much to all of those who purchased Eminiscalp. You have made Eminiscalp a true success.

Another busy but very nice week. Eminiscalp is great during any market conditions, but the unfortunate circumstances over the past few weeks have created even greater opportunities. Work on becoming disciplined and learn to be patient and the rewards can be more than you ever thought possible.

Another very nice week, as expected. If it slows down a bit, I will post more often, but not to much to say other than we are consistent with the setups. Traded the March contract yesterday and the June today, actually it did not make a big difference as we had setups on both. The more you practice, the more you see and the easier it gets. Not to say trading is easy, but the odds are in your favor if you follow the plan. And yes, successful trading can be done and is being done by many Eminiscalp traders every day. Have a great weekend.

I didn't realize it has been this long since I wrote last. It has been busy and busy is good. The trading the past weeks, including this week, has just been outstanding with great opportunities all over the place. In working with new Eminiscalp traders, I have come to realize that trading is an "evolution" and you get there through work, discipline and patience. By doing this over and over, you get better at it. You "acquire" an understanding of market movement, and this just enhances your bottom line. Of course, if you are looking at the wrong things, then there is no evolution, just frustration and disappointment. The correct method, along with practice and determination can put you in a position that most traders will never attain. Have a great weekend.

Today was just one spectacular trading day. We knew where to get in and we knew where the trade was going. The flow was just great. It was 31 years ago today that the "Miracle On Ice" took place. This is one event that one may never forget, assuming you watched this game. It was certainly exciting. Trading is exciting as well, but we do not rely on miracles. I know that there are traders who wish for a trading miracle. It is better not to rely on a miracle because you may go broke. You just need a method that works, but along with the method, you have to be willing to put in the time and work at it. That could be a miracle within itself for some. As one of our traders so aptly put it " it gets easier and easier the more you work at it". Have a nice evening.

FRIDAY
FEBRUARY 18, 2011

It was another fantastic trading week. We had a good number of new traders sign on this week and already they are realizing that trading is not an impossible business. Like any worthwhile endeavor, time must be dedicated for any success to take place. Following rules and being disciplined is the key. But, even though you may have a method to enter a trade, there is more to it than that. There are times that an entry should not be taken because of certain market factors. Know this and you will be on your way. How much time are you willing to devote to your success. Learning to trade successfully should not take long at all, considering what can be gained. What may take time is ridding yourself of the bad trading habits acquired over the years. As I have mentioned numerous times, if you continue to do what you do, the result will be the same. If you are a successful trader, the end result will be pleasing. If you are not successful and you continue to trade, well, we will be there to help deplete your trading account. Have a great weekend.

Although the volume was light and the range narrow, we still had very nice setups. Profitable with low stress. Hope your day went well

FEBRUARY 9, 2011

The past three days have been just great. One of our Eminiscalp traders, who signed on over the weekend, called me this afternoon. He was very excited with his progress over the past trading sessions. This was one of his statements: " I finally know what I am doing, I know where to get in and get out of a trade, and why. I was very close to throwing in the towel. Thanks Al." His confidence level has increased tremendously and he finally knows what he is doing. Not many traders know what they are doing, even though they have a method. There is more to it than that. Learning the proper way to trade is something that can last a lifetime.

______________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
FEBRUARY 2, 2011

I think the weather may have had an impact on the minimal range, about 7 points, and the lower volume. Nevertheless, it was a great day for Eminiscalp traders. Excellent and profitable setups all day. I may have mentioned this before, but even though you are trading a method or system you probably will not be profitable if you are not aware of a unique trait in regard to the market. Not many traders know this and never will and most indicator methods are not able to take advantage of it. Know this and your trading experience can be positive. This can result in consistent profits.

Working on EMINISCALP LTD
_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
JANUARY 26, 2011

The past 3 trading days have just been great. Our Eminiscalp setups have produced some nice profits for our traders. BUT, we have something new that we have been working on for the past few months. I call it EMINISCALP LTD. So far it looks great. A different chart with a very nice setup. A friend of mine, an Eminiscalp trader, has been playing around with EMINISCALP LTD for a little while now. His comment:

" It does not get any better than this".

Every now and then I will post the progress and we can then determine where we go from here.

_______________________________________________________

FRIDAY
JANUARY 21, 2011

It was an absolutely great week. Patience, focus and discipline pays off. A few of the new traders who signed on early in the week are already "comfortable and confident", as one put it, in taking our setups. They will soon be on there way to profitability, joining the many who already are. You may have the same set of golf clubs that the pros use, you may even play the same course. But, I really doubt that you are scoring like they are. The reason? There is more to it than the clubs and the course. The same with trading Eminiscalp, or any method. There is an approach, a process and a routine that must be mastered first. Not difficult, but necessary. If you don't have the focus, discipline and the patience, you never will master any method. It is sad, but I am sure there are thousands of traders who will never be successful because of the lack of the needed characteristics. But, that is just fine with us because they are the ones we get our profit from.
Have a great weekend.

JANUARY 19, 2011

Not a bad day at all. Practice and stick with the plan and you can be profitable. Here is a portion of one of the emails I received today:

I have been using your ideas on the ES during low volume and low volatility and it does quite well for me on what would otherwise be days off or losing days. Thank you!
Kindest Regards, L

It can be done and is being done.

_____________________________________________________

FRIDAY
JANUARY 14, 2010

It was a nice week, a bit slow at times but definitely tradeable.
I am certain that most traders (not Eminiscalp) had a difficult time trading this market, but as long as the market moves, there is profit to be made. It takes discipline and a willingness to learn. The more you practice and work at it, the better you get, just like most areas where you want to be a success. Unfortunately though, not all who endeavor to succeed have the determination to make success a reality. Those are the ones who continue to trade without knowing what they are doing and as such, their loss is our gain. I heard this following statement somewhere but I thought it appropriate:
Success comes from good judgment, good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.
This is the evolution of a successful motivated person. Don't live off of the supposed experience of someone else, especially if that person is not successful. People have a habit of taking advice from the those who do not have the credentials to give it.

Have a great weekend

MONDAY
JANUARY 10,2011

Today was an exceptionally nice trading day. Our setups for the NQ,TF and YM, which are different from the ES, (and ARE included with the package) all had many very nice entries, as did the ES of course. The volume was up so the future is looking even better. So, what does it take to enter a trade. It takes nerve and nerve comes from confidence and confidence comes from practice. I did not reinvent the wheel, I just found a way where it rolls smoother. The complainers will continue to complain, the doers will continue to profit. There is not a method on this planet where you can be successful just by pushing a button. It does take discipline and focus and a method that is consistently profitable, EMINISCALP. The more you practice the easier and MORE profitable it becomes.

FRIDAY
JANUARY 7, 2010

The week flew by rapidly, quite busy with our new Eminiscalp traders. But it was a great week to trade, especially today. Received this email from one of our traders just a few minutes ago:

"Al,

You have to love the ______ we have today. Talkin' about "CHA-CHING" all the way to the bank today. It doesn't get any easier than this. "

You may have a set of golf clubs that someone used to shoot par. But, just because you have them does not mean you will do what someone else did. It takes training and an education. The same with trading. Without all the facts and rules, you will have a problem. The Eminiscalp traders who have the desire are doing very well. Have a great weekend.

TUESDAY
JANUARY 4, 2011

The first post of the new year. Just received an email from a trader who very recently signed on. Here is a partial of that email:

"HI Al:

Interesting setup. I paper traded the afternoon the TF and "made $1117.50."

Hey, I realize it is only paper trading, but he is brand new to the method and the chart does not know if you are paper trading or trading with real money. The setups and entries are the same. Once you build up the confidence, then trading for real becomes a whole lot easier and less stressful. We have excellent and profitable setups. Just because you have a setup does not always mean you should take the entry. That is the problem with the indicator entries, they do not allow for market conditions. This is why most get stopped on a continuous basis. Follow our simple but logical rules and you could become a profitable trader. If you really want to learn how to trade successfully and rid yourself of all the negativity, contact me. You can make 2011 a very profitable year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I received this email this morning, Friday December 31, 2010 from one of our many successful and satisfied traders.

Al,

Even though we had very low volume today I was able to net 11 points on the ES betweeen 7:00 and 10:35. Just following the rules and the market took care of the rest. I'm amazed at how well this method works even with the low volume and volatility we had.

Unless something drastically changes, I see a very good year for 2011 using the Eminiscalp method.

Thanks again for your product and help!

Received this email about 3PM east today (Thursday):

Hi Al,

Just had to write to let you know I had my first winning week in my life, which is over 10 years trading off an on. It was the slowest because of the holidays but even if I got behind because of my own trading I would have the confidence to grab some eminiscalp trades to help me back in to the money. I feel like I just completed a major piece to the puzzle for me in my trading, I can't wait till next week....have a great new Year!

May not have the chance to write after today so I figure I better get to it now. It was a great year and I would like to thank all those traders who took that leap of faith right up to the end of the year. The response was more than I ever anticipated and it is certainly appreciated. I have received some terrific feedback and I know that these traders will continue their profitability and success right in to 2011 and beyond. There is way more than just knowing setups and our specific and logical trading rules have made our traders successful, something that has been elusive for them since they began their trading careers. But, a willingness to learn and dedication makes the difference. I have been a teacher for 41 years and I know that the learning curve is not the same for all. Staying with the program makes the difference, as has been proven right here. For those who find fault in others for your shortcomings, it would be best if you don't trade, as the more money you lose, the more frustrated you will become. Trading may not be for everyone. I wish all a successful and profitable 2011 and I hope all of your goals are met. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said:
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift."

Make every day count

Happy 2011.

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. As I write, we are at 477,244 contracts on the ES. Nevertheless, it was a scalpers paradise. I watched, and took a few YM trades, and it was very nice as well. All in all, it was a nice day, although a bit slow at times. As long as the market is open, we have the potential to make money. Anyway, this year is wrapping up quite nicely, getting a ton of hits and a lot of interest. The exposure is just great. We have something that works and it works well. You put the effort in and you could be a profitable trader. As I mentioned a number of times, what I put on this site is true, including comments, emails, etc. If you think we are like what you may have had before, you are highly mistaken. This is an segment of an email I received this morning:

Thanks Al for your hard work and your product. I appreciate the time you have given me to help me learn..youre the BEST.

There are those who sincerely want to learn how to do this and there are those who consistently just chase their tail. There are those who complain and blame others for their misfortune because they refuse to put in any effort, but in the end, those are the ones who have no credibility.

THURSDAY
DECEMBER 24, 2010

Although the market was a bit slow, the past few days were very busy. The hits on this site increased dramatically over the past 9 days bringing in a surge of new traders. We will do our best to make your success a reality as you join the ranks of the successful Eminiscalp traders. I hope everyone has a great Holiday.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
DECEMBER 16, 2010

No matter what you may think, I am here to help you become a successful trader. Just because you have the proper tools to do the job, there is more to the learning process. You must learn to use these tools correctly and follow the rules. I am going to post a comment from one of our traders who usually captures 20+ ES points per day, and he is not trading all day. He works at it and he follows the rules. He never was negative, never looked for excuses, he just saw the great potential of Eminiscalp. And he is not alone. He emailed me today and this is an exact segment of his email:

Thanks for putting out a good quality product in the Eminiscalp. If everyone who signed on would read every word and believe in it they would save themselves a lot of wasted time trying to maketheir own rules that don't work as well as what you have put out.

I think a lot of people have got screwed over from other products that didn't live up to the hype the product touted and many may think your product is in the same category. I would like tostate thatyour product is head and shoulders in a class of it'sown.

Follow the rules to the "T" and put the screen time in and you will be successful. No doubt about it.

If you haven't heard it enough from me, I Love Your EminiscalpMethod!

What I have up on this site is absolutely true. It certainly is not worth the aggravation to fabricate comments and emails. Just because I don't charge the excessive amount others may, does not mean Eminiscalp is not as good. Actually, I believe it is much, much better. If you truly believe what I have is the same as the rest and if you believe that I am here just to take your money, then you are highly mistaken. Not all traders will be Eminiscalp traders and basically, not everyone should be a trader. Just because I don't and won't fullfill all the requests that I get from those who inquire, does not mean Eminiscalp does not work. For those who are truly dedicated, you should join us. For all the rest, stay with the indicator entry methods. Your continued losses will be our gain.

MONDAY
DECEMBER 13, 2010

Today was certainly slow at times, but our setups did fine. Someone made a comment that the guarantee can never be met. That is the plan, as I want you to have successful and profitable setups. In reality, you probably would not be happy if the guarantee was met because then you would have a method that was not consistent. So, as long as the guarantee is not put into affect, that is a good thing. Also, please be sure trading is for you. I have mentioned more than once that all these available methods and systems can not be bad. This can be very difficult for some because of the emotions that are involved. Before you keep on buying methods, try and assess yourself to see if you really have the personality for trading. I believe most people can be successful, but for some it may take a lot of work. There may be a huge amount of things that may have to be unlearned before you can move ahead. And, I am not here to rip anyone off, that would be senseless. I am here to help you.

An email yesterday 12/9/10, from one of our traders:

"Al,

I couldn't ask for any better today, although the first few trades did take a while. I was able to get my 20 points by 10:07. Only took me 19 trades and no losses at all. That is one of the few times I went 100%. I was especially proud of myself for holding one trade for 2 points.

This fellow has close to a consistent 90% success rate. He works at it and loves our EMINISCALP method.

WEDNESDAY
DECEMBER 8, 2010

The week has a way of getting away from you, the past days went by quickly. The trading has been just fine although a little slow at times. This is where the patience comes in. I never solicit for testimonials, and I never ask a trader to put in writing the good things I hear about Eminiscalp when I talk to them on the internet, in the room or on the phone. Yesterday and today I received emails praising Eminiscalp from a few of our traders. These emails were not asked for, just sent. I certainly do appreciate the time taken to let me know how things are going. You see, it is not about how I do because you would expect that I do fine. It is about how those who sign on with me do. Here are segments of these emails:

|"The more I -----the chart, the better I'm getting to know almost exactly what will come next.It's amazing how they do the same thing time after time."

" Trading only the "A" setups, all I can say is "Brilliant"

" Just thought I'd drop a note to say thanks for the Eminiscalp method. You really found something solid with it. I have to say that this method is outstanding."

I did not solicit for these, they were sent by satisfied Eminiscalp traders. If you really want to be successful at this and you have a sincere desire to work at it, I can not see why you should not be profitable. By the way, I did receive an email that my site is not professional so as a result my method is not good. This is the mentality of a someone who has already accepted defeat. Hey, I am not a web genius, just a trader who has a method that can make you profitable. Take advantage of what I have to teach and see what is possible for you.

November went by fairly rapidly, but it was a very nice month. I just received an email from one of our new traders. He had signed on at the very end of October. This trader did his homework and spent the quality time working with the method. Of the 21 trades he recently took he had 17 successful trades 4 stops. This is not bad considering it has been just over 1 month. With more practice and becoming familiar with how our methods works in the market, he will get even better results. One of our more experienced traders, who signed on in early July has a 92% success rate on a consistent basis. Join us and give yourself the chance to finally be profitable.

I hope all had a nice Thanksgiving. Yesterday we picked the Turkey bone clean and today the market. Our entries and targets worked great. For those who are unable to trade a market like this morning you may need to change your method. Our method is designed to trade this market, we don't attempt to try and make the market fit our method. I have said this many times, if you continue to lose money to the market with the method you are using, then you will continue to do so. The only way you will become successful is to trade a method (EMINISCALP) that was created for the way the market moves. The old stuff just does not work, actually, it never really did.

NOVEMBER 18, 2010

I received a good number of emails today but I will share the a bit of the contents of three. One of our traders reached his usual goal of 20 POINTS, trading 1 contract. Another had 12 POINTS this morning. One of our newest traders wrote that he was so thrilled because his first 2 trades were successful. He had never had 2 trades in a row that were successful with his previous method and in fact, with the method that he came from, he was lucky to even get 1 successful trade. I have NEVER received an email from one of our traders claiming our method does not work. You put the time in and follow the rules, it will work. This is an exact quote from one of our traders: "If a person applies our rules the trades are there." Every statement, quote, etc. on this site is true. There are those who doubt and those who act.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
NOVEMBER 14, 2010

This past week was just great, but that was expected. We do not have a magic formula for trading the markets, just a simple and effective method that takes advantage of how the market moves. Eminiscalp is consistent day after day. Indicator and those type of methods, as far as I am concerned, are not consistent. Half the time the trades are successful and half the time they are not. A 50-50 method will clean out your account in a heart beat, not to mention what this will do to your emotions. If you want the chance to become a successful trader, and when I say successful trader, I do not mean becoming a market guru. You may know a ton of stuff about the markets but that does not mean you can trade successfully. You may know the mechanics of a sports car inside out, but that does not mean you have the ability to drive Nascar. When I say successful, I mean the chance to become profitable. Isn't that the ultimate goal. Actually, I have no interest in what the market does all day long, I only care about the moment I am in and the chart I am profiting from. The old stuff just does not work. We attempt to take advantage of the way the market moves. If you are able to let go of all that nonsense that is taking money out of your pocket and can dedicate yourself to a method that is profitable, then come over to our side. We are not saying that trading is easy but it is not as difficult as some want you to believe. And for those who claim you can not be profitable trading 1 contract, well, you are not trading Eminiscalp.

WEDNESDAY
NOVEMBER 10, 2010

Two very nice days. I have included yet another email today from one of our traders. It has been edited to keep our method proprietary, but I think you will get the meaning: " Today is a great day for trading. Picked up over 10 pts from __ to ___. It doesn't get any better than this, day after day with profits to be made using the Eminiscalp method. Focus is the name of the game with this method. The payoff sure is nice."
What else has to be said.

MONDAY
NOVEMBER 8, 2010

Low volume, minimal range, it makes no difference. I received a few screen shots from a fairly new trader showing some very nice and profitable entries. We see what others don't. We can trade what other are not able to. Specific entries and specific targets. I don't ever recall a day in which the market was open that we were not able to trade. Does your method give you this confidence?

For a very long time now, my motto has been "Work less, make more". Of course, this is just an adaption from a popular beer commercial from way back, but it works for me. Eminiscalp has made this possible for me and it could do the same for you. A trader who recently joined us spent the past week working with Eminiscalp real time and this is part of his email to me: " I actually enjoyed the week..something new and I can see how it can be very profitable." Here is part of another email from one of our traders in regard to Friday: "I thought I'd let you know how Eminiscalp worked out today, 92% winners". This trader is very disciplined and does nothing but Eminiscalp trades. So, if your present method is not working the way you think it should, email me. But, be aware that if you want to work less and make more you must put the time in now so that the motto has the chance of becoming a reality for you.

Today, as well as yesterday, were very nice trading days for Eminiscalp traders. I know that most traders had a very difficult time trading today's market. Here is an excerp of an email today from one of our traders:

"Al, for those people who don't use Eminiscalp, today may have been tough but not for us. Netted 21.25 points. My bank account thanks you for your great Eminiscalpmethod"

This was not the complete email, just don't want to give up to much info. What else could you ask for in a method.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
OCTOBER 30, 2010

It was a very nice week and another great month. Of course, there were times where there was minimal range and little momentum. If you know how to trade these situations, you can make money. One of our traders mentioned, during a slow afternoon, that this is when many traders have their accounts cleaned out. If you know what you are doing, this will not happen to you. Sometimes it may be a good idea to just SIM trade during these times, just to get familiar with the method you are trading and the order entry dome you are using. Here is one crucial tidbit of information that I feel is important to know. Not all demo domes really simulate the live dome. Ask your broker if this is the case. For example, on limit orders, some demo platforms will fill you at your exit number without going through the number, making you believe that in the real trading world this will happen. This happens very seldom. On limit orders, the price normally will have to go through your number to get filled at your number. Be very aware of this and be sure to ask your broker if there are any differences between the demo and live platform. You ALWAYS want a platform that works the same way whether it is demo or live. Otherwise you are not truly simulating live trading. Have a nice weekend.

OCTOBER 25, 2010

Another very nice day. The patience and discipline does pay off. I read recently where one method vendor was talking about how his fibonacci indicator finally was able to give him a nice profit from one of his entries. The confusing word is "finally". How many trades did not work out using his fib method. If you "finally" have a profitable trade, then you are certainly not using the correct method. I also received an email from another vendor who began the day 3 points in the hole, but ended up 1 1/2 points on the good side. Recovering like that is a real up hill battle. Maybe the fellow who teaches this method has deep enough pockets to get back into a trade after being down 3 points, but the average every day trader would have a very difficult time getting back into any trade. Being down 3 points from the getgo is not a confidence builder. I have to assume that there are good methods out there, and possibly the ones I refer to in this blog are good, but without consistency there can be no confidence. I am certain that any trader who experienced this type of trading situation is probably in search of a different method. Eminiscalp is here for you.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
OCTOBER 24, 2010

Every now and then, I get an email requesting that a prospective purchaser talk to one of our Eminiscalp traders before deciding to purchase. I did this once before, early on when I first put up our website. It was not a good experience as the prospective purchaser kept asking questions that are proprietary, and he was relentless. At the end of the conversation, he offered our trader money if he would give up the method. That is why I will not do it any more. I was happy to find that our trader was honest enough not to divulge information, whether by accident or on purpose. As he put it, "why should he do what I do without going through the proper steps". Also, if a prospective trader received raving revues regarding Eminiscalp, which he would, he could possibly claim that I paid the trader to say good things. Either way, it is not going to happen. What I have on my site is true, and I am not in the business of ripping people off. Eminiscalp is a method that works and if you follow the rules to the "T" as one of our traders writes, you can be profitable. It is not about what I or anyone else does, it is about what you do. If you are not able to follow rules or are not disciplined enough to learn, then you may not get the same results as others. One of our traders (and there are many more), near the west coast, is a fine example of someone who treats trading as a business and not a hobby and who devotes his time to success. He has been with us for about 4 months now and his goal is 20 points per day, YES, 20 points per day, and he is doing it and it is not taking him all day. He sees what all Eminiscalp traders see. For those who believe that you can not be profitable in this market you are wrong. For those who say methods do not work, you are wrong because Eminiscalp does work. But, it is up to you. Focus, discipline and patience, and you can join the rest of us who are constantly taking profits from this market.

Another very nice trading day. If you are disciplined and decide finally that you want to be a profitable trader, then email me. Need some inspiration, go to our home page.

WEDNESDAY
OCTOBER 20,2010

This is part of an email I received from one of our traders yesterday:
"This morning was the first that I have been able to devote undivided attention to trading our methods. Regular set-ups were plentiful and profitable. " This is not an exception, this has been what has been happening day after day. Another comment from one of our traders: Another great day for trading." If you are not experiencing plentiful and profitable setups, or if you don't have great days of trading, then you are not trading the Eminiscalp method.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
OCTOBER 18, 2010

I had a conversation with a trader today, and she said something that made me chuckle. She said that she was going to call me Einstein if and when we ever speak. This made me chuckle, but I really did not grasp what she was getting at. When I asked her what she meant, this was her response: " You have discovered something great". Actually, she was thrilled and she just wanted to let me know. Yes, I think I did discover something great. I did not invent Eminiscalp, I discovered it, and I am very happy with the response I am getting. I believe that anyone who really puts forth the effort will succeed. What I have to offer has the ability to finally make a trader profitable. This is what has been happening and although I am not able to guarantee that this will be the case in the future, I really don't foresee any change down the road. Eminiscalp is a different way to trade. It is not the same as what most traders are used to, so it may take a little adjustment. We have a very simple but successful method that has setups at specific starting points and and targets at specific target areas. Just because I don't charge 3,4 or 5000 thousand dollars does not mean it does not work. I believe, as many of our Eminiscalp traders do, that Eminiscalp is the best method available. You can have your doubts, this can be expected because of all of the stuff you have been working with and exposed to, but come with a positive, I want to learn attitude, and you could be very pleasantly surprised. And yes, to day was a very nice day. ______________________________________________________

FRIDAY
OCTOBER 15, 2010

I am writing just after 1PM east, and I may not be around for the rest of the day. This morning there were excellent and plentiful Eminiscalp setups. By the way, even though I may not mention it, there are nice setups during the rest of the day as well. Eminiscalp has been consistently profitable. I just received an email from one of our traders. This was part of what he wrote:

"Todaywas definitely a day you didn't want to miss for trading. If a person can not make money on a day like today with Eminiscalp then they aren't going to make money. It was like taking candy from a baby today. Still good action as of now."

I know that many traders did not have a very good morning. If you continue to trade the same way and if you are not consistently profitable, then nothing will change. I realize it may be difficult to make a change, but if you don't, your account could be closed in a very short time.

Have a nice weekend.

_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
OCTOBER 13, 2010

Nice setups during the day, as expected. We even squeezed profits out of the scant moves. It is the same thing day after day, and this is what builds the confidence.

____________________________________________________

MONDAY
OCTOBER 11, 2010

I am sure many non Eminiscalp traders had a rough time trading today. With the holiday came the lack of volume, but the market really did not trade any different than it usually does. But, I know that many traders stayed away. This is really not necessary. If the market is open, it is tradeable. Eminiscalp traders still had many very nice setups throughout the day. The focus and patience pays off. If your method does not allow you to trade on a day like today, or if you are continuing to rack up the losses, you really should consider a method that is successful in all conditions, Eminiscalp.

_____________________________________________________

THE WEEKEND EDITION
OCTOBER 10, 2010

I received a call from an Eminiscalp trader who signed on almost 2 months ago. He said that he preferred to call me because he wanted to express his gratitude personally. He said "Al, I don't know how you ever came across this method, but I am very happy that you did. I am finally a profitable trader and I don't have to ever rely on anyone else ever again." Although we talked for a bit longer, it was one thing about the conversation that stuck with me and the reason I am writing.
"I will never have to rely on anyone else ever again." That is the key to all of this. The purpose of Eminiscalp is to make you an independent trader. You should not ever again have to sit in a chat room and take a trade from someone else. Taking trades because someone else does is one reason why many traders are not profitable. Trading is a business and if you treat it as though you are a member of a club could, and probably will, keep you from being successful. All of the confusion, confirmation, and excess babble on why it is or is not a good trade is not a confidence builder. Get away from all of that and focus on a method that has a enabled countless traders to finally become profitable. Trading successfully is certainly not impossible, as long as you are determined, focused, disciplined and can follow rules. Become an independent thinker, become an EMINISCALP trader.

THURSDAY
OCTOBER 6, 2010

I have been fairly busy and I don't get to write as much as I would like. Of course, it is a good type of busy. The trading days have been very nice as expected. I received an email from a new Eminiscalp trader today. I will print it here, but with a few edits, as I don't want to give anything away. Here is a part of the email:

"I have yet to have a losing day after simulated trading for 14 days of the A and Regular setups. This success is very, very, encouraging! You offer a fantastic product"

Now, realizing SIM trading may be different than real money trading, (only because of the emotional aspect) the fact remains that the method has no idea you are SIMing or trading for real. The setups are exactly the same and they should continue to be. But, trading for 14 days and not having one losing day does say something about Eminiscalp. It says that we are consistent and this consistency helps build confidence and confidence is one ingredient of a successful trader and a successful method.

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
OCTOBER 5, 2010

I get a number of emails asking me how many points we get on each trade. The answer depends on what our targets are. We have specific targets and if the room for profit is not what we are happy with, we do not take the trade. There are methods out there that claim a 5 tick stop and a 2 1/2 point target. That sounds great on paper but in reality most trades will not go
2 1/2 points. The price will go wherever the market allows it to go and it is not always 2 1/2 points. One great aspect of Eminiscalp is that we know our target(s) before we enter. What we have is realistic. To make a general claim that we have 2 1/2 point targets is just not realistic. This is why many traders are not profitable, they are looking for profit that does not exist. Our trades have a beginning and an end. Trading any other way could spell disaster.

_____________________________________________________

SUNDAY
OCTOBER 3, 2010

I would like to thank those traders who emailed me about our site being down. Apparently Yahoo had some server issues, but as you can see, we are back up.

You should not care about market internals and all that stuff. It is not putting money in your account. You should not have to spend months learning this, it is really not that difficult, although some want you to believe it is.
Profit first, guru later.

Very nice setups yesterday and today. Nothing much else to report other than Eminiscalp has been consistently profitable and I don't see any changes in the future.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
SEPTEMBER 25, 2010

It has been a while since I did a weekend edition so it is about time that I get back to it. The past weeks have been very busy, certainly not a complaint, actually a welcome. We had our first webinar on September 15 and the response was great. Thanks to Kevin Driscoll from OnlineTraderCentral.com and Josh Lampel from Global Futures for putting together a terrific program. I also would like to thank all the traders who came aboard because of the webinar and those who signed on prior. The continuous emails and comments are certainly encouraging. Comments like" I am very comfortable trading the (A) setups," "This is just getting easier and easier", "These setups are just great", "Your setup caught me the biggest trade of my life" and so on and so on. Remember, all Eminiscalp traders see the same thing. In another positive development, a few of our traders have come across the "item" that we need for Tradestation and Ninja users. This "item" is standard with Sierracharts, but a 3rd party add on for the others mentioned. I still prefer Sierracharts but for those who may have a difficult time changing over, there may be a solution. So far, they match up well with Sierracharts. So, if you want to take your trading to the next level without the clutter and with simplicity, join a successful group of EMINISCALP traders. Have a great weekend.

THURSDAY
SEPTEMBER 23, 2010

Did not get to write yesterday, but as usual it was a very nice day. Today there were a good number of Eminiscalp setups. One of our traders emailed me with some great information about just how nice his trading has been going. He ends the comments with this: " What more can I say, except this is getting very fun!".

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
SEPTEMBER 21, 2010

Low volume right up to the FED News at 2:15. Nevertheless, it was a very nice day, as usual. A trader who joined us about 2 weeks ago wrote this to me later today. "The setup is just spectacular. Your setup caught me the biggest trade of my life, thanks Al" So, it was a very nice day.

______________________________________________________

MONDAY
SEPTEMBER 20, 2010

I am sure many traders had a rough time trading today. Eminiscalp traders waited for the setups, looked for their room for profit, entered the trade, took the profit at our target(s) and waited for the next setup. Simple, direct, profitable.

_____________________________________________________

FRIDAY
SEPTEMBER 17, 2010

Another fine day. Here is an excerp from one of our traders:

"I just rode the 1st trade a couple of points and then traded the ......... all the way down to 1125. I picked up 6 points in that stretch. " This was just one of his trades, and this was pre market. Another Eminiscalp trader spoke with me this afternoon. He traded with one of our Eminiscalp traders from Europe and said that they each grabbed 9+ points this morning, NO STOPS. Now, these traders are fairly new to Eminiscalp. Remember, all Eminiscalp traders see the same thing. But, these traders are dedicated, they work at it and they follow the rules. It is not what I do, it is what YOU do that counts. Have a great weekend.

THURSDAY
SEPTEMBER 16, 2010

I had my first webinar sponsored by Global Futures and Online Traders Central yesterday. I want to thank all those who attended. I certainly hope you enjoyed it and I thank those who emailed me with their nice remarks. I also want to thank all those traders who signed on with us. We will do our best to assist you in your goals of being profitable. If by chance you emailed me and I did not respond, email me again as I apologize, as it has been quite busy. I think I answered them all. For those who wired funds please let me know when you did the wire. I don't get the names from the bank until about 3 days later, just a wire number. I just want to keep a tab on it so that you receive your materials in a timely manner.

Our PLUS entries just continue to be great. If you want the opportunity to become a profitable trader, email me. One chart, absolutely great setups. no indicators at all. You do not need all the extra stuff, its just fluff. If you don't realize that yet, its just a matter of time before you do.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2010

This week went by rapidly. I did not realize that I didn't post on Wednesday. In any case, even though there was a holiday as well as rollover, EMINISCALP did just great. Traded the September contract yesterday and the December today. A very, very nice week. Our entries are just great, and knowing our targets makes the trading experience a lot easier and actually enjoyable. If your method gives you the confidence that you need to trade successfully and consistently without stress, then stay with it. If not, email me. Have a great weekend.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
SEPTEMBER 7, 2010

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Although I did not trade this morning, our setups were just hot. I received an email from one of our traders who said he had a very nice morning. Remember, all EMINISCALP traders see the same thing. In any case the afternoon went well, as expected.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
SEPTEMBER 2, 2010

Another very nice day. A little slow after this morning but we were able to pick the bone clean. Our target areas produced nice profits. If I am not able to post tomorrow have a nice Labor Day weekend.

_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
SEPTEMBER 1, 2010

The market made a very nice move this morning and our setups were there to take advantage of the moves. A very nice way to begin the trading month. Every now and then I am asked the question:" How many points do you get out of each trade?" We get as many points as the move allows. There is no method in the world that moves the market. All a method or system can do is to take advantage of the move when it happens. Also, there are better times of the day to trade than others. I am sure that most traders realize this, so, what ever a trade produces depends upon the market move. The question that should be asked is: "Does EMINISCALP take advantage of the moves that the market makes?"
Is the Pope Catholic?

TUESDAY
AUGUST 31, 2010

The month of August began great and it is ending the same way. A lot of traders look forward to the end of the summer so that they can resume trading and give their hard earned money to the market. We traded all summer and did just fantastic. You can to. Just need the right tools and and a superior method-EMINISCALP. Believe me, EMINISCALP works like no other. It is not the same old stuff.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
AUGUST 30, 2010

I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. As far as today is concerned, it was a nice trading day, but that is what we expect. It is such a great feeling when you turn on your computer and load up your chart that you know what you are doing. No guessing, because EMINISCALP traders know when to enter a trade and they know where their targets are. No guessing. If you are not able to say the same thing about the method you are using, it may be time for a change.

_____________________________________________________

FRIDAY
AUGUST 27, 2010

Another great day, this morning was just incredible. You do not have to struggle, just follow the simple rules and discipline yourself to trade the easy identifiable and simple setups and you could, probably for the first time ever in your trading career, be consistently profitable. A trader who is signing on with us, coming from an other method, was told by the person who sold him the method, that it is almost impossible to get 2 points per day trading 1 contract. This person has got to be kidding. The only way our new trader could get 2 points trading his current method was to load up on the contracts. No need for that unless you want to. Two points for us is just a warm up. I hope you are not trading their method. Have a very nice weekend.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
AUGUST 26, 2010

A great day, nothing much else to report. I received a few emails from some very happy and successful EMINISCALP trades today. Here they are:

I'm still amazed at how well the Eminiscalp Method works. I went back through and counted up the trades and there was the possibility to make over 24 points using one contract in just the premarket and the 1st 1/2 hour of trading today. I'd be happy capturing half of those. I know with more practice and concentration I will meet or exceed that goal. Once again thanks for the great method in Eminiscalp. You have a "Gem" of a method for scalping the Emini markets.

AND ANOTHER

I'm so glad I found your site and took the plunge to learn the Eminiscalp method. In one day if you follow the rules, the tuition is easily paid for. I can't believe some of these other courses where their goal is to get you to make 1-2 points per day and they charge $3-5K.

It is nice to receive comments like this and I sincerely do appreciate them. Remember, all EMINISCALP traders see the same thing.

Is your method as successful as EMINISCALP?
_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
AUGUST 24, 2010

Another fine day. As I see it, as long as the rules are followed and the entries are taken, anyone who trades the EMINISCALP method should ALWAYS close out their trading day with profit. Today was no different.

_____________________________________________________

FRIDAY
AUGUST 20, 2010

It was a very nice week. I realize that many traders are not able to trade the summer market. They should be able to, as there is still a market. It does not close down because it is July and August. You may have to change your method. You should not spend these two months without an income. Yes, today was nice as well, just have to follow the simple and logical rules, be patient, disciplined and focused. Any successful endeavor worth striving for requires these traits. Have a very nice weekend.

______________________________________________________

THURSDAY
AUGUST 19, 2010

The comment below is from an EMINISCALP trader:

"By the way, every trade I took this morning where I followed the rules worked out. I took three trades that did not meet the rules and I lost on two them. I jumped the gun on those two trades when I should have waited. Still up great for the day, Thanks!"

The comment above is part of an email I received today, and it refers to trades this morning. ALL EMINISCALP traders see the same thing.

I also spoke with an EMINISCALP trader today who has been with us about 6 months. He called me because he has been reading the comments on this page. He asked if he could add his 2 cents. I told him I would appreciate it. This is what he said, in so many words: I have been trading for quite a few years and struggling at best. I thought EMINISCALP may be just another method that would get me nowhere but the website and the cost got my attention. Well, EMINISCALP did get me somewhere, it got me profitable, finally, after all these years. Relay to all the tire kickers and window shoppers that EMINISCALP is the only successful and profitable trading method I have ever come across, and I have purchased many.

It is unfortunate that many traders spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on unsuccessful methods, then drain their accounts trying to make them work. Then they stumble upon me. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I thank all EMINISCALP traders for there support and kind words. It is simple, EMINISCALP works.

If you want to experience this success and profitability without lagging indicators, multiple charts and no stress, email me.

WEDNESDAY
AUGUST 18, 2010

Today was just great, the morning excellent, starting with the premarket. I received an unsolicited email from a dedicated Eminiscalp trader today. I will paraphrase in order to relay some of the content that was written. This trader referred to a comment on the right panel regarding "just like an ATM"machine. " I stick strictly to the rules and I am doing fantastic, very, very few stops. Can't thank you enough, and every day I look forward to adding to my bank account. All Eminiscalp traders see the same setups as this trader. So, I guess EMINISCALP is successful. I want to thank all of the EMINISCALP traders who have shared their nice experiences with me, it means a lot, especially when there are methods and systems available that assist in cleaning out your account. I am sincerely happy that I am able to make a positive contribution to the trading community. By the way, I have never, absolutely never received an email stating that EMINISCALP does not work. Want to know why? BECAUSE EMINISCALP DOES WORK.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
AUGUST 16, 2010

I did not trade last Friday, as we took off for a long weekend. But, as I reviewed the chart, I can see it would have been a very nice day, just as today was. I realize that there are many traders who are unable to trade this market. The good news is that it is probably not you, it is the stuff you are using. As I mentioned a number of times, you need the correct tools as well as the proper personality traits to be a successful trader. You can work on you, but if you don't work on the tools, you will get nowhere, except to the poor house. I have had discussions with a few traders who use the free stuff that does not have what we need. So, they trade for free, but continue to lose money. That makes very little sense. As an example, I pay a total of $260.00 per year for Sierracharts and data, because they have what I need to be successful and profitable. My costs are minimal compared to the enormous profit potential. Many traders will never have the opportunity to have this potential because they believe that their "low" overhead is a bargain. It is not a bargain if you give up thousands to the market every year, and in some cases, every month. So, pay nothing for your tools and give up tons of money to the market, or pay a little and come out profitable. It is all about logic, just like EMINISCALP.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
AUGUST 12, 2010

Premarket was nice. Could have just traded that and called it a day, but we stuck around for most of the session, and it was nice as expected. Taking a few days away, enjoy your weekend.

_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
AUGUST 11, 2010

As expected, today was a nice EMINISCALP trading day. Not much more to report. I continuously get emails requesting"more information". I have no problem with that, but please understand that all of the info I want to divulge is on the website. If you would like to talk to me live and ask me questions, not a problem, I will email you my phone number. I do appreciate the interest, and if you do sign on and work at mastering the Eminiscalp method, you will appreciate the results.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
AUGUST 9, 2010

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Did not post on Friday, but as usual it was a nice trading day, and a great way to wrap up the week. Today was just as nice. We started the session with a setup short just after the open. By the time the morning was finished, there were at least 11 ES points to be had with 1 contract, and if you followed the rules and stayed focused, no stops, yes, no stops. Now, do all Eminiscalp traders get all 11+ points, probably not, but a few may have, but even so, the fact remains that they were there and our Eminiscalp method identified them.

Eminiscalp, nothing like it.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
AUGUST 4, 2010

The trader that emailed me with the above comments is a dedicated professional who treats trading as a business. Decide to dedicate yourself to learning and you may do just as well. I have been trading for quite a long time and I believe that there are very few traders who even come close to those results. Some may hit upon a good day, but not consistently. "The last few days" means consistency. I realize it is difficult to make the commitment, but when your account runs dry it may be to late.

By 10:00 AM east, we had just over 500,000 shares traded, not great volume. Does the volume matter to EMINISCALP traders? Not at all. It is not a factor in what we do. Actually, there are no outside influences that distract us from our goal. No CNN, no streaming news, no other market, no TV, just one chart for successful results. In any case we had some real nice setups, from premarket right through the morning.
_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
AUGUST 3, 2010

Some traders wrestle the markets and make it tougher to trade than it really is. We know our targets and we have excellent entry points. Right from the open this morning we had an idea of where the market may be headed, and it got there plus more. Do we know something others don't? In a way we do, only because our method gives us an educated heads up, and most of the time it is correct. Even if the price does not reach our goal for the specific trade, we normally are able to grab some profit anyway. It is not rocket science, it is logic and market sense. It is EMINISCALP.

_____________________________________________________

FRIDAY
JULY 30, 2010

It was a very fast but a very nice month. Today was like the rest, nice setups throughout the day. Writing a little early, getting a head start on the weekend. Have a nice weekend.

_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
JULY 28, 2010

I received an email from an Eminiscalp trader this morning around 10:50 AM or so east time. He has been with us for a few weeks and he has spent time practicing our trading method. Every now and then he will email me with his results. Today it was 8.75 points trading one contract. This was just within the first 75 minutes of trading. Now, he is SIM trading, but no matter, the setups and entries are the same whether you SIM or trade real money. Of course, there is the emotional element when money is involved, but a method (EMINISCALP) that builds confidence can help overcome this. You do have to dedicate yourself to this, as this fellow is doing. I would imagine all EMINISCALP traders are doing just a well because we all see the same thing. I receive nice emails like this a few times a week. I have never received one claiming the method doesn't work, BECAUSE IT DOES. The PLUS is one hot entry. Also, I emailed out a revised documentation and a screen shot for the PLUS this morning. I added a few things so that EMINISCALP traders have an even better opportunity for success. If you did not receive this info and you are an EMINISCALP trader, email me. I sent out quite a few and there is always the possibility that I missed one or two.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
JULY 26, 2010

It was a fine morning, as expected. Spent some time with a new EMINISCALP trader this afternoon who recently signed on. We got his chart set up and went over our entries. While we were talking, he identified a real time "B" setup short at around 1108.75 just before 3PM east. That trade went to 1104.50. This is what we do.

______________________________________________________

FRIDAY
JULY 23, 2010

This was a very nice day and a great way to wrap up the week. Profitable setups all day and all week long. Absolutely nothing to complain about. I added a new page today called" EMINISCALP EDUCATION". Posting a little early, going to get a jump on the weekend.
Have a very nice weekend.
_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
JULY 22, 2010

It was another nice trading day. People are creatures of habit and traders are people and as such they do pretty much the same thing every day. EMINISCALP takes advantage of these "traits" with our setups. I am not going to mention our trade areas today because they are the backbone of EMINISCALP and there may be some astute trader out there scanning the charts looking for similarities. You are not going to find them, but why make it easy. In short, nice trades all day. Wonder if you were able to get any of that nice little 8+ point sell off late this afternoon. EMINISCALP had a setup right there. We had our targets as well on the way down. It did not go straight down, they usuallly never do, but EMINISCALP had setup after setup, with our targets in sight. If you are not confident in your trading method, it may be time for a change. Those who say you can not trade the summer months are looking at the wrong stuff.

Around 10:23 AM east this morning, we had a setup for a 1060.50 short. Our target was 1058.25. We missed the target by a tick. Then we had 2 PLUS setups along with our"A" setup, at the same time for a 1059 long. Our target was the 1061.75 area. Both these trades took a total of about 13 minutes and had the potential yield of about 4 1/2 points for just one contract. Do all EMINISCALP traders take all of these points? Some do and some don't, it is a matter of emotions and management. Does it mean that EMINISCALP is less effective if a trader decides not to get the whole move? Absolutely not. We know our targets when we enter the trade. This is where the patience comes in. Profit is profit and goals differ for each trader. We are not market geniuses, we don't have a "corner" on target areas. The "tools" we use identify probable targets for us. We wait for the setup in that direction. In any case, these were just 2 of the many setups we had today. No need for study, just practice. I will not say that trading is easy because "easy" may have a different meaning to a variety of traders. A trader may find trading difficult but profitable. EMINISCALP may be the "easiest"method you have ever experienced. One chart and simple setups. By the way, our PLUS setups and entries have just been great.

Another very nice day. We had our eye on the targets and just waited for the setups to occur. And the setups did occur. We did this throughout the day. Nothing more to report.

THURSDAY
JULY 15, 2010

Had a couple of PLUS trades pre market, then just after 9:00 AM east time, I joined up with a long time friend and EMINISCALP trader from Rhode Island. As we were trading, he commented that all you have to do is train your eye to see the setups. I am not a market guru, in fact I am just a regular trader who struggled to become successful. Whether it was from determination or being stubborn, it really did not matter. What mattered is that I stayed with it because I believed successful trading was possible. Like any endeavor, put your time in and be determined to learn and the final result should be pleasing. This morning we had some excellent trades. We knew where the targets were and when these targets were hit, we had an idea of the next stop. Nothing magic, just common sense and the right tools. Knowing when to enter, when not to enter and when not to trade is just market sense. Screen time and practice. You may have an idea of where price may go, but you need some way to get into the trade. That is where EMINISCALP comes in. Excellent entries, the goal being profit. Simple yet effective. Success is not elusive, at least for those who who have the right method and are determined to make it work for them.

JULY 14, 2010

Did not get a chance to post yesterday so I will cover both days today. Tuesday was a very good day, I would not expect anything different. The orders come in, we trade, the market rests, so do we, then pick up any trades that may develop during the rest of the day. The pre market has just been great. A few pre market trades, a few after the open, and call it a day. This morning there were more than enough profitable trades and you could have been done by 10 AM east. The market can be slow, the volume can be low, but it does not mean that there are no trades. There are more than enough, you just need a method that identifies entries, like EMINISCALP. Here is a comment I recently heard a trader make. This fellow is a real nice guy and he sells his method as I do mine. His method requires the use of multiple indicators as well as pre market preparation, review of past news, what happened in Europe and the foreign markets overnight, etc. One of his indicators is the RSI, and this was his comment: The RSI is showing an oversold condition, but I am not sure if it is reliable, so I will not go long yet. What good is the RSI, or any other indicator. I do understand that there are a very good many traders who need indicators. If you are able to master them enough where you can become consistently profitable, then that is all you need. But, I don't think there are to many traders who have accomplished that goal. EMINISCALP traders do not need all of that stuff and we certainly don't have to review what has already happened. I only care about what is going to happen. The one chart we use, along with our simple, visible and effective setups is all we need to be profitable. And that is all tha matters, PROFIT. EMINISCALP is not at all difficult to master. Put in the screen time, follow the rules and you can become an indicator free trader. It is about 1:15 PM east and I may be done for the day. As mentioned, we had a nice morning. Have a few things to take care of this afternoon. I may be in and out, but if I don't get back, I am posting now. Enjoy the afternoon.

JULY 12, 2010

The pre-market was fruitful, a few nice setups. It was a slow day, but again, the discipline and patience pays off, as there were nice setups throughout the day. I have heard traders complain about slow days and how they are boring. You can be just as bored at work for less potential pay. At least you are home and doing things your way. I also have heard this at times" Taking this entry, high risk". Why would anyone take a "high risk" trade? What makes a trade high risk anyway. If it is high risk, why would anyone take it. Does not seem logical. Unless you are going to possibly get $200/ point instead of the $50, for the one ES contract, then just stay away from high risk. I consider our EMINISCALP trades very low risk. Follow the rules, and they are low risk.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
JULY 8, 2010

Had nice setups throughout the day. A little slow at times, but you take what the market gives. A prospective Eminiscalp trader emailed me today and one of her questions was about trading during the summer months. She heard that the trading was not good and to take the summer off. As long as the market moves, we trade. Our setups are not limited by seasons. For anyone who is unable to trade the summer months, you may want to give up on your method or system and consider Eminiscalp. The economy does not close down July and August.

TUESDAY
JULY 6, 2010

I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Another great day. The PLUS, along with our other simple setups performed well. In fact, a days wage was tucked away before the market even opened. Of course, the normal trading day was just fine. When I get the chance, I may put add a page about the PLUS and the "A" and "B" setups.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
JULY 1, 2010

Looks as though July will be s nice as June. In the first 25 minutes of today's session, there were 11 potential points obtained by EMINISCALP entries. The potential was there and if EMINISCALP traders took the entries, they would have gained at least 11 points, trading ONE contract. Follow the rules and there may not have been any stops. Add Monday morning and this morning, for a total of 33 minutes, and calculate your potential earnings. Of course, there were many, many more hypothetical entries between then and now, just giving an example.

Do you think I may have discovered something that could finally make traders profitable? I sure did!!!

The wife and I may get an early start on the holiday, so I probably will not post until next week. I may look for an entry pre employment report and then right after, tomorrow morning, then the weekend begins. Enjoy the 4th.

FRIDAY
JUNE 25, 2010

It was a very nice day and a perfect way to wrap up an excellent week. Not because of what I did, but because of our Eminiscalp method. This week, I focused on the PLUS entry method and it was superb. Just trading the PLUS would satisfy any trader. It is simple, visual and certainly effective. The days of fibonacci, indicators, market profile and all of the crazy and difficult methods that require multiple charts are a thing of the past. Have a great weekend.

JUNE 24, 2010

I am writing this segment at 10:50 AM East time, as I may not be back later. This morning was just great. Our PLUS entry method did its job. Even with the so so volume this morning, our setups were terrific. We take a setup at a certain area, we know the "room for profit" and we enter. Our logical but specific rules determine if a trade should be entered. If a trader is not certain, for whatever reason, about an entry, then just do not take it. This may happen, especially for new Eminiscalp traders. Our method is not the run of the mill stuff that most have available. Eminiscalp is easy but it does require patience, focus and practice. Even as I write this we had a short PLUS setup at 1075.50 and it went in our direction 3 points. Take the PLUS on the way up and grab another 2.5 + points. I am not saying that all Eminiscalp traders will grab the total move, it is determined by there personal management style, but the profit potential is there, and our entry areas are just great. These 2 trades alone is all most would need for the day and it took place within 15 minutes. Another PLUS short alert just followed those previous two setups, and this is during the time most traders will not trade. Anyway, going to get some lunch. Enjoy your afternoon.

FRIDAY
JUNE 18, 2010

Quadruple witching. Many traders will not trade this day, or for that matter, this whole week. The volume a little less, the market a bit whippy and slow at times with no real direction.

GOOD NEWS!!!.

We can trade this week and this day. Our PLUS setups worked just great today. You probably will look at the chart(s) you use and wonder how this market could be traded. Witching days are not new and for the most part these days trade the same. Today is a trading day, and if your method does not allow you to trade successfully, then it is certainly time for a change. Why would anyone want to give up potential profits this whole week or even today. If the market is open and if it is moving, it can be traded.

Enjoy the weekend and Happy Fathers Day to all those DAD's out there.

JUNE 16, 2010

Spent some time with a new EMINISCALP trader today. He has taken a number of trades, all worked. His comment was " this is a different way to trade, I like it". Yes, we had another very nice day. Just need to follow the rules.

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
JUNE 15, 2010

I had a conversation with a prospective Eminiscalp trader today. He had mentioned that he is in a chat room and trades with a group. He went on to say that the group was not trading this week because it was the first week of the new contract and the market was to" unpredictable" to trade. We talked for a while and I mentioned a few things that I thought might be useful to him. First, as long as the market is open, it can be traded. But, you need a method that allows this, such as Eminiscalp. Without trying to offend him, which I don't think I did, I said that it is my feeling that not trading because of the "market conditions" is an excuse not to trade and that if this is the case, then whatever method or system the traders are using to trade is not working. I used to be such a bad trader that I used those same excuses as well. This way, I could go to bed a night and feel good because I did not lose any money. Not knowing what to do causes tremendous anxiety and fear. Fear, the trading nemesis. Knowing how to trade will eventually remove the fear.You must have a proven method and you must be determined to learn it. Another issue is trading rooms. Basically, they are fine, but only if all know what they are doing. Taking a trade because someone else does will be a sure way of wiping out your trading account. What happens if this person does not show up? Your trading day is over before it even begins. If you really want to be a successful trader, take the time and learn. It can be done.
By the way, today was another fine trading day. We trade all and every week.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
JUNE 12, 2010

The week past was just great and the EMINISCALP PLUS method is out and sent to all Eminiscalp traders. If you are an Eminiscalp trader and did not receive it, please contact me. We have a nice tidy package of Eminiscalp methods that work with each other. If you were an Eminiscalp trader, you would understand what I mean. The recipe for successful trading is to first have a method that works, such as EMINISCALP. Then, work with the method until it works for you. Our EMINISCALP method is profitable. Enjoy the weekend.

_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
JUNE 9, 2010

The EMINISCALP PLUS trade is just great. It is simple and profitable. I have been working with this entry method for about a month now, and a few EMINISCALP traders are testing it. There are those times when the market makes a move and we may not get a setup. Well, this is the answer. I was working one on one with a new EMINISCALP trader this afternoon for about an hour. I went over this trade with him, and within minutes he was identifying the entries. I don't think anyone will ever discover this. Anyway, this new trader was amazed just how simple but profitable the PLUS trade is. Master just this entry method and will never need anything else.

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
JUNE 8, 2010

Another fine day. For those of you who are wondering if you are purchasing "another method that does not work", just go to THE GUARANTEE" page. I don't know of any other method or system that will potentially return your money. We get the setups, and I expect them to continue. Purchasing a trading method is not like sampling food or taking a test ride in an automobile and then saying I don't like it, so return my money. A lot of years, experimentation, money and hard work went into developing my EMINISCALP method. It is worth a lot more than what it being offered at, but I don't make a living, like some others, by selling it, I make my money trading. I want traders to be successful but I will not give it away. Education cost money, but not the excessive costs of others.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
JUNE 5, 2010

I realize that a down market is not good for the economy, investors and especially for those with 401K type plans. I am the last person to predict what will happen over any period of time, even a day. My concern is the present. Whether the market moves up or down, our EMINISCALP setups are there to secure the profit. With all the crazyness this week, EMINISCALP was just great. Wait for a setup, once one starts to form, look for your profit targets, make sure you have your stops set, enter, take profit, wait for the next setup. It sounds so easy, and in most cases it is. But, it is up to the trader to be disciplined and focused. Screen time is certainly a plus. Enjoy the weekend.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day and weekend. My gratitude goes out to all those who protect our country, our citizens and our freedom.

Our EMINISCALP PLUS setup is just working out very nicely. Friday was a very good day, as expected. We went away for the weekend, and we made a quick getaway, did not have the time for a post. In any case, a few thoughts came to mind. This past weekend is sometimes referred to as the "unofficial beginning of summer". Many traders feel that the summer is not a good time to trade. I strongly disagree. The markets do not stop. The floor traders are still working. There are reports during the summer months. People still have to work and so on. The volume may drop a bit and late Friday afternoons may be dull, but we still can trade and make profits. I have never missed a summer for the past 9 years. Why? Because there is profit to be made. I have some ideas for the summer months for those who are able to trade, and for those who want to become successful traders. Stay tuned,more to come.

THURSDAY
MAY 27, 2010

We had some real nice profitable setups today. Not unusual, it is expected. I look at it this way: you are either profitable or you are not. As I mentioned a few times, it is not winning or losing. It is about profitable gains, and at times, setbacks. Our goal is profitable gains with very, very few setbacks, and we have achieved that goal. I have discovered through the last 9 plus years that trading is not rocket science. Wait for a setup, look for the profit area, take the entry, let the trade do what your management says it should do, then go on to the next trade. I spend hours staring at my chart, looking for high probability entries. About 3 weeks ago I came across something that seemed very exciting. I will call it the EMINISCALP PLUS, or just the PLUS trade. All of a sudden it just jumped out at me, although it had been there for as long as I have been trading. Just never noticed it. So far, it has been a very profitable setup. I am going to continue to monitor it for just a little longer. If I feel it has merit, it goes out to all those who have signed on with me. I want EMINISCALP traders to be profitable, that is my goal. But, for this to happen, a trader who signs on must dedicate themselves to trading and get rid of the distractions. Follow the rules, you can be a profitable trader. It is not rocket science.

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
MAY 25, 2010

The day began very well with about 12 successful setups in a row.There were more, just want to make a point. Of course, it takes a fantastic entry method(EMINISCALP) along with reliable data and a great charting package. One of the most important ingredients is YOU. YOU must practice self control and discipline and realize you are in a business with traders with very deep pockets. The goal of all traders is to be profitable. If someone is profitable, then someone else is not. Less than 10% of the traders take money from the remaining 90%. You can trade SIM all day long and be successful. Put up the real money and the emotions change. This is where self control and discipline come in. All traders get stopped now and then. That one stop can change a person. It can take some time to learn to trade with real money, especially for those who have been stopped over and over. Their confidence is low and their trust for any method is even lower. Trading is not impossible, I have proven that. If you want to be successful, then don't give up. SIM, SIM and SIM again until you overcome the issues that are part of you. If you are working with a method that works with SIM, then the method will work with real money. The fact that you are trading live should have no bearing on the method. But, it may have a bearing on your emotions. Be sure you are ready. EMINISCALP can prepare you.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
MAY 24, 2010

As expected, another very nice trading day. I get a ton of emails each week from interested traders. "Please email me screen shots of your setups", "If your method is not indicators, it must be patterns","can you give me a break on the price, I have 7 kids, and no job". NO,NO and NO. I can not send screen shots, guess they want something that took me years to discover. No, it is not patterns either. and believe me, I would like to get traders going for lower price, but for a few reasons I am unable to. Firstly, it would not be fair to all of those who had the faith and joined for our price. It is well worth it. Secondly, whether you have a job, 10 kids and 3 wives, it is my belief that some people just want to get it cheaper than someone else. And thirdly, Eminiscalp is well worth the cost. Look beyond the cost and calculate what your " investement" can return to you. For the doubters, you have no idea just how great Eminiscalp is. So simple, but yet so profitable. Take the time to learn, become determined to be successful, follow the simple but logical rules, and you just may be a relaxed, profitable trader. More tomorrow.

THE WEEKEND EDITION
MAY 22, 2010

It has been a while since I wrote on the weekend. The weather is nice and I try and get outdoors as soon as possible after my trading day, so at times, I don't get to post. Just to let everyone know that yesterday, Friday, was a very nice day. That is the beauty of the Eminiscalp Method. It is not just the setups, but a few rules that go along with it. Without this "logic", the setups would just be setups and not knowing why or why not to take a trade could be very dangerous and detrimental to your account. A very long time ago a bond trader mentioned to me that in order to be a successful trader, you have to think differently, almost to the point where it may seem illogical. At that time I did not know what he meant, but I do now. A lot to do with successful trading has to do with self control. If you find that the method you are using does not seem to be working, then it would certainly be best to stop using it. I know of many traders who get stopped, get frustrated, and do the revenge trading like they are going to punish the market. The only thing being punished is your account and eventually your confidence. It is a proven fact that Eminiscalp is profitable, but it may take a different way of thinking for some. For those who say you can not trade from one chart, well, I ask, is the 3.4,or 5 charts you are trading from working? Probably not. So, if you continue doing the same thing, the results will be the same. That holds true if you are trading successfully as well. If you want to be a successful trader, then choose to do so by being determined to learn. Attempting to pick my brain and trying to narrow down the chart and setups I use by the process of elimination will get you nowhere and you will probably never be successful at trading. The end result will be frustration and anger. Give yourself a break. Education cost time and money, this is something you should accept. I offer a method that is successful and does not cost anything near what many of the others do. We do not take trades from indicators, crossed lines, fibonacci, breakouts, etc. The setups are simple, reliable and profitable. Change the way you think and become an Eminiscalp Trader.

MAY 19, 2010

Yes it was, as expected, a very nice day. I am on a few email lists, and I received one yesterday. The heading on this email was something like" For all those struggling traders". There is no need to struggle, none at all. If you are struggling, my advice is to stop trading or work with a method that will help you build the confidence you need so that the word "struggle" is not part of your trading vocabulary. I have been trading for quite a long time and I truly believe that if you are trading using indicators as your entry points, that you will continue to struggle. If you are not consistently profitable every day, then why are you trading? Nothing will change if you continue on the same path. Your success depends upon a few factors, the most important one being the method(Eminiscalp). Then, it depends on you. Be determined to practice, learn and follow the rules and your struggling days will be behind you. When I open my chart and begin trading, I expect to be successful, and I am. That is confidence. If you open your chart(s) and wonder if you will make money today, that is a struggle. Trading is a business, not a casino. We do not win or lose, such as a gambler does. We have gains and at times, very few I might add, we have setbacks. Want to be a successful trader? Start with EMINISCALP.

MONDAY
MAY 17, 2010

I missed the writing on Friday. Went away for the weekend and have been spending some time with some new Eminiscalp traders. Friday, as today, were very nice trading days for Eminiscalp. I mentioned a number of times that we expect this. We know the entries and we know the targets. It is not guessing. When price gets to a certain area, and if we get our setup, we look for our targets. It is not complicated. Practice and patience, that is what it takes.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
MAY 13, 2010

Ran out yesterday without updating. In any case, Wednesday was just like the days prior. As far as today, the same. Nice setups throughout. One thing that I would like to stress is that if you are going to trade, have the right equipment. As far as I am concerned, you do not need a super computer, you just need one that can handle the data. Accurate data is a must. Also, if you have a ton of other programs running, that could affect your data. With money at risk, It may be a good idea to just devote your trading station to just trading.

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
MAY 11. 2010

It was a typical day for the Eminiscalp setups. I believe, as I have mentioned a number of times, that the market would have to go thru a radical change in order for our setups not to work. This radical change would affect every method. But, on the other hand, if there ever was a radical change, I certainly feel that we would figure it out and come up with the "Eminiscalp Radical Method". I don't see any change in the near or distant future. The market moves because of the way that traders trade. Call it habit, behavior or routine, it is the way people do things. Eminiscalp takes advantage of these actions. That is why we consistently get the setups. If a period of time passes, like 15 or 30 minutes, and we do not get a setup, ( which is unusual) this means, as far as I am concerned, that there is disarray and confusion in the market. You certainly do not want to trade a market without direction and order. We just wait it out, that is the patience and discipline we follow.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
MAY 10, 2010

I hope all the Mom's out there had a nice Mothers Day. A friend asked me this morning if I thought the market was going to be on the positive side today. I responded with " I certainly hope so, especially for those with 401K plans." Even though it does not matter to an Eminiscalp trader which way the market moves, we still are pulling for an economic recovery. In regard to our setups, we had them all day, from the open till the close. It does not matter which way the market moves, as we are able to take advantage of those moves. By the way, I really have no clue which way the market will go on a day by day basis. My only concern as an Eminiscalp trader is the here and now, and grabbing the profits no matter where the market goes. I have found over the past few years that even the "experts" can not get it right most of the time. Trade according to their analysis and you may just wind up broke.

_____________________________________________________

TUESDAY
MAY 4, 2010

You don't have to sit in front of the computer all day. The last hour today would have satisfied the needs of most traders, as long as you know when to take the trades. Of course, there were Eminiscalp setups throughout the day, but the opening area and the end of the day is when the market usually moves giving us abundant setups. If you are only able to trade premarket, during lunch, or the "slower" times, we still have nice Eminiscalp setups. Pick a time, practice, practice and practice again. Determination will pay off.

____________________________________________________

MONDAY
MAY 3, 2010

Yes, another fine day. As I mentioned a number of times, we should continue getting the setups. There is no reason why we shouldn't. What does it take? A desire to be successful. I read somewhere a while back that if you want to be successful at something, then be determined to do what ever it takes to reach that goal. If it is trading, and if you have a method that works, like EMINISCALP, then practice until you become successful with it. Many say trading is risky. It is only risky if you do not know what you are doing. The more you practice, the more you learn and the more experience you gain. You will find that your risk will go down and your returns will go up.

FRIDAY
APRIL 30, 2010

Well, this was one fast month, it seemed to go by quickly. But, it was a profitable month because of the Eminiscalp Trading Method. By the way, yesterday was a real nice day, I wasn't able to update until now. Anyway, if you are disciplined enough to just view one chart, follow the rules, and stay with the plan, you could be a profitable trader. The setups absolutely do work and they work great. The rest is up to you. You will never find a method where you can just "push the button" and make profits. It does not exist. You will have a better chance of meeting Elvis. Eminiscalp is the next best thing. Trade off of crossed MA's, bands, RSI's etc., and other indicators and you will never be consistently profitable. Put in the effort, decide that you will be determined enough to follow a plan, and your account could end up on the positive side.

_____________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY
APRIL 28, 2010

Nice Eminiscalp setups throughout the day, right from the premarket. Trading is a business that requires patience. Waiting for the setup can be tiring and one could lose focus. My suggestion is: Do Not take a trade unless you have a setup. Do Not let the boredom take over your better judgment. This is where the discipline comes in. No matter where the price may go, do not take a trade unless you have your setup. Don't take a trade because you think price may go somewhere. We have Eminiscalp setups all day long, but there are times when the market stalls, chops and gets lazy. Either take a break, or discipline yourself to wait it out. Keep your money in your account and reduce the stress.

_____________________________________________________

MONDAY
APRIL 26, 2010

It was a nice Eminiscalp day, setups all day long. Trading is not risky. Attempting to trade without knowing how is risky.

FRIDAY
APRIL 23, 2010

A very nice day, a very nice week. Our setups are clear and simple. Enjoy your weekend.

_____________________________________________________

THURSDAY
APRIL 22, 2010

Today was another very nice day, setups throughout. Unless the market dynamics change, which I doubt, we will continue to have nice setups.

Trading is a profession, not a "sideline". It can become a sideline when you become proficient, but until then, it requires work. Whatever method you decide to learn, take the time and learn it. Dedicate yourself to it. Trading as a sideline while doing your regular job will only cause issues and problems. Try trading full time and treat your job as a "sideline" and see how much you get done. I don't think your employer would appreciate it. If this is the only way you are able to trade, then understand that it may take time. There are traders out there that just want to "push the button" and make money. It is not that easy. Trading is certainly not impossible, but screen time, focus and discipline are necessary ingredients to success. If you are not willing to put in the effort, then trading is not for you. Trading has the potential to earn profits well above what many jobs pay. Why in the world would you not give trading the time and effort it deserves. That is the entitlement mentality. I don't want to put forth the effort, but I want to reap the profits. Good luck with that one.

Well, what can I say, it was another very nice trading day. Profitable setups throughout. I don't think you will ever read where we had a bad day. It is the same every day. As long as the market trades, we have setups. A trader recently signed on who relayed a story to me. Before he was joined us, he spent time in one of those chat rooms. The moderator, who was selling his "system" for over $3000, said that trading off of one chart can not be done. Apparently trading off of his multiple chart method can not be done because many of his "members" are EMINISCALP traders now. You have no idea how many traders have joined EMINISCALP who were unable to trade off the multiple charts from their other methods. Trading from one chart is being done every day. One of the guys who signed on with us was unable to even take a trade with the $3000+ method because it was so confusing. MOST traders are not profitable, because of the overload. I really don't think there are many, if any, profitable traders around, and many of them have purchased these expensive methods. EMINISCALP is simple and exact. Follow the simple rules, stay focused and alert, take the time to learn and you very well, for the first time, could be consistently profitable. We know where to take the entries, and we know where not to take them. We know our targets and our stop is pre set. When we get a setup, we determine, through our simple rules, if there is room for profit. If not, we don't put our entry in, if so, we enter. It is not confusing. If you want to be successful, you must put in the time. Dedicate yourself to a method that works, (EMINISCALP) and you may be pleasantly surprised. _____________________________________________________

Today as expected, was a very nice day. Abundant setups. Worked with a brand new Eminiscalp trader this afternoon. We went over the setups, the rules and setting up targets and stops on the dome. What we do is really not confusing, actually, it is quite simple, but very affective. If you are able to give up the indicators and the other stuff that distracts you, then you could very well be successful. It does take work, primarily screen time. It is a new way of trading for many, and old habits are, at times, difficult to overcome. One trader emailed me recently and asked if I was like the other method peddlers selling my "snake oil". Actually, I got a chuckle out of that one. No snake oil here, just a method that works, as long as you are willing to give it a go. Focus is important. I believe, from experience, that trading a whole bunch of different markets is very distracting. This "diversification" will not in any way help with your focus. A trader may feel that if he or she has a loss in one market, then they will make it up on another. That is not going to happen. I believe that you should focus on one and get good at it.

FollowOneCourseUntilSuccessful.

That is focus. Become a master of one instead a jack of all. The FOCUS statement is not mine, I read it somewhere but it certainly does make sense. I trade the ES, and do quite well with it. I will look at the YM if the ES chops. BUT, my FOCUS is the ES. Once you learn a method that is profitable,( EMINISCALP ) and build up the confidence you need to enter the trades, then "diversify", if you think you need to. Personally, I believe that you should keep it simple. Overload and lack of focus and discipline is a major cause of loss. Anyway, I don't peddle "snake oil", I offer a successful trading method. Just because the cost is not crazily expensive like many others, does not mean it is not effective. It certainly is, more so than most.

A while ago I heard a comment from a trader that seems to hold true for many traders. He mentioned that the market is designed to take you out of good trades and put you in bad ones. Well, with the vast majority of traders who are not profitable, I can understand this type of thinking. When one trader makes a profit, some other trader is losing money. EMINISCALP is designed to keep you out of bad trades and put you in good ones. That is what we do. Today was a fine example. A trader signed on with us a few days ago. He was, or is, fairly new to futures trading. After a few days of reviewing setups and going over the basic rules of our method, he decided to watch the market this morning. He had 13 trades, 10 of which were profitable. In reviewing the 3 stops, it was determined that those trades should not have been taken because of the rules we follow. Of course, this is to be expected because he is not only a new Eminiscalp trader, he is a new futures trader as well. He was very pleased with his performance. Who wouldn't be. In any case, we worked together this afternoon and keeping in mind some very specific rules, he identified a very good number of our setups, all of which were profitable. This trader has dedicated himself to becoming a successful trader. He is certainly on his way. You could be as well. EMINISCALP is designed to put you in good trades and keep you out of the bad ones. Another very nice day.

Writing this on Friday around lunch. Yesterday was a busy day, so I was unable to get to the update. In any case, as usual, we had a very good number of Eminiscalp setups. It was a very nice day. As mentioned on a previous day, if your trading is not what it should be and you continue using whatever it is you use, the results will not change. Follow our simple rules and you could be a profitable trader.

No doubt today was a tough trading day for many. It was not a tough day for EMINISCALP traders, it was a day where patience payed off. Just wait for the setups and take them. It was the wait that may have been tough, but it certainly was not the trading. There were many very nice EMINISCALP setups throughout the day on the ES. As I mentioned yesterday, if the ES gets lazy and has a limited range, bring up a YM,TF or NQ chart and trade either of them. We have excellent setups for those, and they normally will give you nice profits when the ES is not moving. If you are not satisfied with your trading, and you continue to do the same thing, you will get the same results. Yes, you may get hold of a nice trade now and then, but you will continue to struggle. Consistency is the name of the game. If you are going to trade, you need a method that consistently puts you on the side of profit.
EMINISCALP.

Another very nice day. EVERY "A" setup for the ES was successful, you just have to push the button. Whether your choice is the ES, YM, NQ or TF, our EMINISCALP setups are great. You don't need to trade a lot of different markets to be profitable. Actually, it may be a distraction. My suggestion is to select one indice, and get good at it. There is enough profit potential in the ES to satisfy anyone. When the ES gets lazy, I scalp, quite successfully, the YM, using of course, our EMINISCALP setups. One way to begin being a successful trader is to cut down on the overload. You could very well get biased and not enter a good trade because one market is going one way and other is not. Focus on one indice, wait for a setup and take it. It does not matter what any other market is doing. Keep it simple and you could very well be on your way to profitability.

Yes, we had nice setups throughout the day. Requires focus and patience. But, my brief writing tonite will address an issue that seems to bother many traders. I received an email today from a trader who inquired about Eminiscalp. This trader goes on to mention that he/she had purchased over 10 systems over the past few years and all of them failed. NONE of these systems work and the sellers lie through their teeth. How am I so different he/she asks. I sense a lot of anger and frustration. Firstly, you may want to take a good look at yourself before you decide to continue trading. I sincerely do not believe that all those who sell methods do so with the intent of ripping you off. These vendors are building a business and it would not be to their benefit to rob people. As I mention somewhere on this site, maybe it is the trader. A study was published in Futures Magazine a few months ago where a trader will give a method 3 months, then move on. Why? To difficult, to many stops, no support. Who knows. I am here to help you, NOT to rip you off. For what Eminiscalp cost, that would be insane. Who needs that aggravation. I have been where many traders have been, and it was not fun. I was fortunate enough to discover this, just when I was at the end of my rope. I had to change my outlook. I decided to make it work. My attitude changed and I looked for the good and not the bad. EMINISCALP works just fine. If you are to become an EMINISCALP trader, you must be teachable, and work on discipline, focus and be patience. We work on this. It will come. Don't expect to just push a button and make money. I wish it was that easy. But, I cut the learning curve way down. I believe that EMINISCALP is about the best method available. Of course I am biased, but it works. It works because we take advantage of the emotions and movements of the market. So, what ever method you are using, give it a chance.

THE EMINISCALP GOAL:

To help you become a successful and profitable day trader in the shortest time possible.

THE QUESTION IS:

Are serious about learning how to trade?

The EMINISCALP method works, and it works well. I sincerely believe it is one of the best scalping methods available. It doesn't matter what a method cost, the market is the same for all of us. You will not get a better value for your money. We have been doing well, even with the chop, low volume and crazy market action. BUT, it is up to you. There are traders who do quite well when using SIM, but once the real money is at stake, the emotions change. I offer a great method, but the psychology is something you have to work on.

If you are serious about trading successfully, and you are teachable and willing to work on your discipline, focus and patience, I feel that you can overcome these tough issues. If you are going to continue to hang in chat rooms and take trades from others, without knowing why, then you will never learn. The EMINISCALP method offers consistent setups that should help build your confidence, enabling you to take the trades. Trading successfully is not impossible. It is only impossible for those who do not know what they are doing. If you are going to throw your hard earned dollars at the market, at least give yourself the edge with a high probability method, the EMINISCALP method.
