Growing up in inner-city

Detroit, Lee started his career at the very bottom-mopping floors at General Motors.  Although being a janitor is honest work, and certainly no disgrace, Lee had a much grander lifestyle in mind.
 

Believing that more people achieve greater riches in a shorter period of time trading than in any other business in the entire world, he spent every spare minute he had studying the markets.  By 1987 his profits provided a sufficient stake for him to quit his job and trade for a living...The rest is history.

Intraday Market Mapping - Making Good Systems Better
 

By: Lee Gettess 

 
The following is an excerpt from Lee Gettess' Trading in the Trenches 

 

Most of the systems that I have developed, as well as others that I am aware of, utilize daily data for their calculations.  That is fine. . .daily data tends to give you the best overall picture for the various time frames most of us wish to trade.

 

However, many of us pay outrageous fees on a monthly basis to have a quote machine available so that we can see every tick the markets make during the course of a day.  That ability ought to be worth something to us, don't you think?  When I first started trading with a quote machine I didn't do nearly as well as I had done when I just entered my system orders off of daily data.  I found myself getting pulled into dealing with every turn the market made on a five minute chart, and maybe even a 1 minute chart!  The only person really benefiting from my trading at that point was my broker.

Was that a Double Top?
 
By: Oliver L. Velez
 

The following is an excerpt from Oliver Velez's Strategies for Profiting on Every Trade 

 

You do not have to be trading long before the term "double top" or "double bottom" is heard.  What constitutes a double top/bottom and can this be used in your trading?

 

Like all of trading, and all of technical analysis, nothing is written in stone in terms of what direction a stock will go.  As traders, all we try to do is to put the odds in our favor whenever we can.  With that in mind, let's take a look at some issues to consider when you think you see a double top forming.  Also keep in mind that this discussion, like most discussions of charts, applies to all time frames.  You can use this information on a 5-minute chart for intraday plays or on a daily for swing and core plays.

 

Profiting in Any Type of Market
 
By: Chuck Hughes 

The following is an excerpt from Kathy Lien's Global PowerTrend System

In today's fast moving markets it is important to protect profits for profitable ETF and ETF option purchases. Let's explore selling options to create spreads on profitable ETF and ETF option positions.  Selling options to create spreads not only helps protect profits but has the added benefit of increasing the profit potential of existing trades.  Let's take a look at an actual trade example to help us understand this important concept.

 

20-Year Veteran Trader Reveals Secrets Of How To Aim For Over $1,500 A Week When You First Start Trading. . .Over $6,000 A Week After 1 Year!!

 
HOW TO STRIVE FOR PROFITS BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS 
 
Lee Gettess, a veteran of more than 10 years of trading "in the trenches,"Trading in the Trenches has written an amazing book that shows how you - or anyone - can aim to make a ton of money trading from home.

I'm not talking about $20,000 or $30,000 a year. I'm talking about $1,500 a week ($75,000 a year) to start. . .and more than $6,000 a week ($300,000 a year!) within 6-12 months.

Lee knows what he's talking about. About 10 years ago, Lee quit the "rat race" to trade futures for a living. (He hesitates to call it a "full-time" job, because he only spends a half-hour or so a day at it!) Today, futures trading is Lee's only means of income - and he's making more money than ever before!

PLEASE READ.  Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.  There is a substantial risk of loss trading commodities with or without this or any other advertised product, service or system.  Also hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading.  Since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity.  Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight.  No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
