For the record: today's my 49th birthday......I've enjoyed every minute of it with the ET members. Now I'll go spend the rest of the evening with freinds and family members (they're much easier on me). Thanks

TradeMaven Group, LLC (of which I am the majority owner) is much bigger than you apparently give us credit for. For the record: I was a was an independent Bond Pit trader at the CBOT for 12 years. I was an independent S&P Pit trader for 2 years and an independent Gilt Trader at the London...

Actually my repsonse to your posts are more for the benefit of responsible, professional and polite ET members.

Anyone can lease the TradeMaven Inside Edge Software for $249 per month without the extra fee to attend the traders room. If you choose to attend the traders room the fee for the software and the traders room is $499 per month. We initially felt that most traders in the traders room would...

If truth be told, I actually love teaching. My tenure as a trader speaks for itself. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. But teaching is personally rewarding. Sharing knowledge with other traders is a great experience for me.

Our traders room and TradeMaven Inside Edge software is $499 per month. You don't have to "fork over" anything. Seems like you're having enough fun bashing someone you don't know anything about. Let's try to be a bit more civil, shall we?

Once again, there is no such thing as a successful 'system'. There are good methodologies and bad methodologies. Communicating trade ideas, market concepts, execution methodologies and trade management is a far cry from "pushing' a system" as you so elequently state.

We do reveal proper trade location all throughout the day. I doubt you were in the traders room for a few days because typically in "a few days" there would have been at least 10 or 12 trades to execute, if not more. There is no 'follow the leader' methodology in our trader room. Just...

Your statement can't be any further from the truth. Market Profile was purchased by the Chicago Board of Trade from Peter Steidlymayer to provide the global trading community a proven and successful methodology. Peter Steidlymayer did just the opposite of what you state. He offered a 'secret'...

When I think of the word 'guru' I picture some guy on a mountain top in India, incense burning, flowing robe, white hair and beard proclaimimg his wisdom and 'the truth'. Personally I don't know of any trading gurus. I do know of a few talented educators. Charlie Cochran of TradeMaven Inside...

Although Charlie covers the ES in the TradeMaven Inside Edge Traders Room, we have been posting the Bond charts because we want to introduce a market that contains a higher degree of participation of institutional/commercials/hedgers than the ES. The Bond is easier to trade, plane and simple...

I was introduced to Charles Cochran in the Fall of '06. I was immediately impressed, not only with his resume and tenure in the industry, but with his depth of knowledge in Market Profile and volume analysis. Charles and I were both mentored by Pete Steidlymayer in the mid '80's. We speak the...

I no longer trade every day. Managing an FCM, trader education company and software company takes up a good part of my day now. I do find time to trade, however it's usually at the most inopportune times of the day when the markets are not as volatile as I would like. I typically try to take...

Thanks Mark Brown for your comments. The Profile and our TradeMaven Inside Edge does offer one a greater probability for good trade location. What separates the men from the boys is the ability to manage the trade once you put it on. Greed is typically what kills what starts off as a good...

Many of my peers in the Bond Market do not set daily goals and many do set daily goals. We can agree to disagree. I like to set a daily goal. I like to achieve my daily goal and then turn the PC off. My goal is always stated in tics per contract not dollars. For instance: if my initial...

The 30-Year Treasury Bond Futures Market (ZB) is derived from the US Treasury's 30-Year Debt Security. The US Treasury's Debt Security market and the corresponding Futures market (up and down the yield curve) is the largest financial market in the world, on a notional basis. A full tic in the...

Many people have signed up for the free access to the trading room and/or the free Tuesday Webinar but have yet to attend or have already attended and have completed their free trial period. As I write this Post there are 11 free trial members in attendance. Is it necessary to be so...

Thanks to Mark Brown for his comments, well said. A couple of days ago I wrote the post below. There is a synergy between what Mark wrote and the necessity to increase your trade size once your methodology is proven and sound. Earning the right to trade bigger is, I feel, the keys to the...
