   My #1 rule right now is to relax and try to find rhythem with the market so I am woking on
   patience. (I am recovering from heart surgery). I don’t trade unless I can identify what the
   market is doing. I miss alot of trades but I minimize stress also 1 good trade a day or 2-3
   a week is ok with me for now

   I enjoy your videos. As soon as I progrees with my recovery some more I hope to
   subscribe to your service.

   Thank You,……….. mc

   Our own emotions are our worst enemy, and probably the hardest to defeat. Here is what I have found to work for me. Maybe it can work for you.
   I trade with 5% of my total money. I have just recently put 95% of my investment cash into CDs. ( I used to have a stock portfolio)
   I look at the 95% allocation as Capital preservation.
   The 5% is for Income production.
   With this allocation ratio in place, I can follow my trading system with little anxiety. I have been able to throw my emotions to the wind.
   I really think this works because it negates Fear and Geed.

   I liked your brief video very much. I agree that name of the game is not to loose money and controlling emotion.

   Great movie Vadim. Thanks!

   My #1 Rule is: to become aware of hidden mental/spiritual barriers in me, dissolve them…
   using a method of preference…
   or at least master to perfection BEing in the Now moment where surfacing emotions are
   treated only as energy passing by… and I AM present, aware of my goals…of Self. Aware
   that I am aware. One CAN Totally Disagree with identifying with any negative emotion…
   it is only an ENERGY and IMO You are not, as many try to “preach”. I create energy…
   IMO of course….and am not going to argue about it even with
   my own mind anymore ;))
   When such basics are place, with my know how, I cannot but succeed. Very SIMPLE :)
   If Applied.
   Best, Raphael

   I am fairly new at this however my # 1 rule is to hang in there…patience….and believe in what I believe in ….it may take awhile but it will eventually perform the way I think it will….I am speaking in a general way….ie…my feelings about gold and silver…or the stock index, etc. I am looking for someone to help me sell the index with options and taking positions as it goes up and down. I believe the dow will plunge but buying options is still tricky to me as I don’t know which option will pay me the most in a decline? Can you help me? I know to buy puts but how do I pick the right ones?

   I listened to your comments regarding market action and investing. I follow a newsletter service for options… I think your rule of never lose money is number one and hard to attain. A better rule would be to stay in the game and win a much higher percentage of trades, as… there will alway be losses. I think trading in an up market is key to any success, although again, if you can pick a put on what appears to be a sure bet, then… go for it!

   I don’t think that I have enlightend anyone with these comments but hopefully, the rule of preserving capital is paramount, and… invest in “up” markets. The S&P 500, probably is a safer and more profitable route to enter with your trades.

   I like your trading video. My trading is all about minimizing risk.

   1. I always trade in the same direction as the Indexes.

   2. I always keep both long and short positions.

   3. I let my winners ride and follow my profits with a stop.

   4. I always keep a 2:1 risk reward ratio when swing trading.

   5. I never take a position I do not Love.

   Thank you Vadim for sharing your Trading Tips… Here are mine.

   I trade the ES (S&P Emini) contract exclusively and use a Global Futures $300/contract margin account. I’m a day-trader of as many contracts as I can muster (up to 25). I am somewhat of a discretionary trader, but I have a couple “systems”:

   I draw lines connecting peaks and “pits” and constantly watch for support and resistance tests both on diagonal lines as well as flat lines.

   I use several indicators: Momentum and Volume to time entries and exits. I also watch the number of contracts waiting in the queues to watch for clues for entries and exits. I use MACD to confirm my decision, and I use Bollinger and Moving Average to estimate the length of the run.

   I keep in mind the previous day’s close and watch for “floors” (support) becoming “ceilings” (resistance) and ceilings becoming floors.

   Generally speaking, I prefer riding bear trends because of sell-offs.

   I used to trade without stop losses, but have added them recently. I do like your mental stops and waiting for the close of the bar.

   I use Strategy Runner, but I have had problems losing the connection with the server, so I will investigate TradeStation.

   I trade alone, but I want to start following people. That is why I am in contact with EminiForecaster.

   Thank you again!

   Take small losses and see them as essential to your strategy, let your winners run….and run….and run…

    I am new at Forex and have lost a lot of money in the past three months and would like a simple way to make profitable trades and forecasts that don’t cost an arm and a leg.

    I use the James Bond method of trading………….When I take a loss………I double my position size on the very next trade…..it helps me forget the lossing trade fast and makes back the loss faster. ……….of course if you have a system that has a lot of mutiple losses in a row….it doesn’t work well…….usually with my work if one direction is failing the opposite will have some fast follow thru………

    I trade 1 min NASDAQ Index…………I watch the Bollinger Bands……I feel they are a GREAT tool and can be used in a number of different ways ……………they help locate support and resistance levels (before they happen) and ALSO where and when to take profits……..they are hard to beat when set up right………..

    ……….try a 1 min NASDAQ Index chart with a 90 period bollinger band with 2,1,.5 bands ……use 2 and 1 for mixed markets and
    .5 for trending…………now go make some money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
