In over 7 years of educating traders there is however 1 testimonial that stans out more than any other. This one from my now Co-moderator in the TTZ emini chat room, Larry / igator.
Larry was an ex-floor trader having spent 18 years at the CBOT. If you have the time read the testimonial below.
Greg,
I owe you such a great deal of thanks, not only from your course but from you personally. You are a great Teacher as well as a kind and caring individual (hard to find in this industry).
I was a member of the Chicago Board Of Trade for 18+ years and made my living as a floor trader (or scalper / local) in the 30 year Bond pit. I absolutely loved my job. In the late 90’s with electronic it became evident that the industry was about to change. Trading volume started to flee into the electronic markets.
So, I set-up my office, bought a couple of computers and screens, opened an account with a platform and off I went. I had my experience of floor trading and my plan was to take 3 to 5 points a day out of the Mini S&P’s trading 4 contracts. My plan seemed perfect. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. I was constantly getting stopped out with 5 tick losers and jumping out of winners with 2 and 3 ticks. Well, it didn’t take long to bust out my first account.
I regrouped and realized I was in a new arena. Which meant, I needed to get the best indicators and tools I could find (no matter the cost). I swear, it almost became an addiction buying all these new tools and trying to finesse them to work on my charts.
Well, my second year passed and I had now lost account number two. I was now deep into depression, lacked any real self confidence and had gone through a lot of money.
I sat in front of my trading screen everyday for about 2 months and tried to figure out what I was going to do. Where did I go wrong? I was finally willing to admit my shortcomings. I now came to the almighty realization that I lacked discipline and no money management skills.
I’m not sure exactly when because most of it is a fog but a trading friend of mine asked me if I had ever traded in a room with a guy by the name of Greg W? I answered no and he said why don’t you just give him a call, he happens to be a good trader and a very stand up guy.
I waited about 2 weeks to call him (why I don’t know) and when I finally did call, we spent around 3 hours on the phone.
I told him my story and when I was thru he said to me in a very quiet but stern voice, "you really don’t want to trade do you?" I thought he was being sarcastic and was about ready to put my fist thru the phone. He went on to say, "you have told me all the things you have used to trade for you but have you, yourself ever learned how to trade?" "It’s like you have bought the scrubs, scalpel and surgery table but never learned how to operate."
Well the rest is history. After taking TheTradingZone course and hanging around the chat room, I started to see things on the charts in a way that I never had.
I was now simply following a path to profitability and letting the markets tell me what to do. I was no longer guessing and chasing.
I have recommended, with full confidence, TheTradingZone to some of my closest friends and they are all happy clients.
As an 18 year trading floor veteran to a 3 year screen fool (now ex fool), I can tell you without any reservation, that your course is for people who want to learn "how to trade."
I wish I had called you 3 years ago!
