If you didn’t know, in addition to our live trading bootcamp, we also have a more exclusive mentorship program. This program is a very small group of dedicated traders. I work with them one on one to perfect their own trading style. We also meet every morning as a group to go over watchlists and stay in contact through the trading day.

Last week I had the honor of meeting them as they came down to my place in Florida for the week. The best part was they came from all over. Henrik from Finland, Simon from Sweden, Vince from New Jersey, Mrs. Jolley from Dallas, Cody from Venice, The Larkin sisters from Utah, Charles from Austin, Chris from Colorado, Billy from South Carolina, and Todd from New York.

It was great getting to know them on a more personal level and learning about all the interesting things they have done.

Henrik travelled through Asia after finishing school and competed in the World Fencing Championships.

Simon travelled through the USA going coast to coast on a Harley Davidson.

Vince was a top hairstylist on Madison Ave as a go to hairdresser for the rich and famous.

Mrs. Jolley built and sold her own business.

Cody works in the entertainment business and frequently travels through Europe and attended the Cannes Film Festival.

The Larkin sisters own a clothing store and have recently sold it.

Charles works for IBM and travels all around the world, selling servers to large businesses.

Chris owns his own software company.

Billy is a real estate developer and experienced the highs before the crash and lows after it and got through it all.

Todd is a corporate attorney in New York City and owns his own firm.

Meeting everyone and learning more about them made me realize how fortunate we are to be in a group of this calibre. Also, it made me think of the type of person that joins a more exclusive group and commits to it. They’re all confident individuals that have achieved success outside of trading and have always looked for a new journey or adventure. Whether it was starting a business or traveling around the world, normality isn’t in the cards for them.

Now they have looked to trading as their next mission and are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve the success they want. Henrik and Simon travelled 18 hours to come to my place. Others left their families and jobs. Overall it was an amazing week filled with lots of trading, learning, great conversations, and plenty of fun. We will definitely be bonded for life through this experience.

Here is the schedule we all did together:

Sunday we started off with a class on building watchlists and we discussed each other’s lists. Henrik also showed us how he tracks his trades.

Monday to Friday we woke up bright and early (Billy was always the first one up) and went through the morning gappers, narrowed down our watchlists, and started to trade. My housekeeper Wanda would make us all breakfast whether it was bacon and eggs or shrimp and grits.

As each of one of us was done trading for the day we would begin to make our way to the beach. Usually Charles or Cody would pack the cooler with drinks and we would have some fun.

Every night we would have class and go over everyone’s trades for the day. As the week went on, as a group we identified specific weaknesses in everyone’s trading and established accountability partners to make sure each person stuck to their own trading plan.

On Wednesday night I set up a bonfire on the beach and hired a company to cater food for us. It was a beautiful night by the fire especially once the s’mores came out.

All in all, it was a fantastic week.

If this sounds like something you would like to participate in then go to our Trader Assessment form and fill it out. We will contact you to discuss the details further and see if you’re the right fit. We don’t take everyone since it is a small group so we like to have a discussion and make sure it is the right fit for both of us.

Here are some more pictures from the week.

1. They work consistently. Seems obvious, right? Well, not necessarily. There are setups I trade that have a lower probability of success, but can pay big returns when they do work. There’s nothing wrong with throwing in a ‘lotto ticket’ trade once in awhile, if your eyes are open and your risk management is spot on. But that’s not what I’m looking for with my go-to setups – I want consistency and reliability.

2. I’ve mastered them. I know these setups inside and out, as I’ve traded them for years. In fact, most are my own invention, or my own spin on a traditional technical analysis setup.

3. They appear regularly. To be a go-to setup, there should be examples of that setup every week – ideally, every day. Several of them have both long and short versions, so even in a red market, I have go-to setups I can utilize.

I talk a lot more on the subject of go-to setups and momentum in this Chat with Traders interview, but before you view that, signup for my 7/20 webinar. I’ll be sharing some hot trading psychology tips alongside performance coach Ben Newman!

The post Will I see you in the webinar? appeared first on Bulls on Wall Street.

The question is, why are you still trading like we are on a huge bull run? The market is constantly in flux; stocks and sectors rotate in and out of favor. Take a look at oil, energy, or agriculture for obvious examples. Even if crashes, the market will eventually reach a state of equilibrium and come back again, just like these sectors and many stocks. But as a trader, can you sit on your hands for weeks, months or even years, nibbling at tiny positions anytime you think the market shows some bullish tendencies?

If you’ve decided to wait it out, or to keep trading like it’s 2014, that’s your decision. But I can’t and I won’t, especially when I know that I can make as much money in a bearish market as a bullish one. I’m willing to teach you what I know, but it will take more than one blog post to do it, which is why I’m holding a free webinar this Thursday, the 14th, to show you the tools and tactics I’m using to make bank while the market tanks. I’ll teach you:

How to identify bull traps. A lot of traders get fooled, thinking that a beaten down stock has turned a corner. Then the trap snaps shut, costing them capital and missed opportunities. Once you know how to do it, identifying these is relatively easy. You’ll not only be able to avoid losses by going long, but have the info you need to decide if there’s actually a short trade setup instead.

Techniques for safe swing trading in a bearish market. Just because you can’t sit at your computer all day every day doesn’t mean you can’t trade. While there are additional considerations for swinging when everything is red, there are ways to do it safely and profitably. (HINT: There are ways to do this without short selling at all!)

Short like I do. If you haven’t already guessed, I’ve adapted to the market as it is now and have several setups that are paying me every day. I’ll show you how I scan for these setups, what traits I look for, and how I manage the trade once I’m in.

Last, but certainly not least, I am running a raffle for a free Bootcamp. All you need to do to enter the contest is enter your phone number on the webinar signup page!

The post Don't Fight the Bears- Free Webinar! appeared first on Bulls on Wall Street.

Whenever the market is choppy or bearish, I get a million questions about how I’m surviving.

“How much have you lost?”
“Have you blown up?”
“Did you get killed in the market today?”

The truth is, I thrive during market volatility! Today in particular, I made $5500 trading names such as $vblt $fit $nflx $tsla $ziop etc…

See, that’s what non-traders and struggling traders don’t understand: just because the market isn’t doing well, doesn’t mean you can’t make a ton of money. One of the great things about momentum day trading is you don’t have to ride the Dow into the ground like the big Wall Street funds; a good day trader is agile, taking advantage of whatever the current market environment is to make money. Make your money on what’s hot until it’s not – then move onto the next thing. It works equally well – sometimes even better – in a crashing market. Why? Because there is a ton of volatility, which day traders thrive on!

Now I know a lot of you are looking at all the red on your screen and doubting your future in the trading business. I used to be in the same position, stressing over what the talking heads on CNBC were saying and wondering how much money I’d lose when the $SPY took its next nosedive. But over time I developed a system to not just deal with market volatility, but to OWN it. While I like to post free content, like this video I just did on trading exhaustion gaps,

I really dig into my system in the 60 Day Trading Bootcamp. In the Bootcamp, I go over every single aspect of my trading system in live webinar sessions, then make sure you remember it all and learn how to actually apply it with homework, quizzes and a simulator. You’ll leave my classroom with the skills and confidence to tackle huge down days with a smile on your face and dollar signs in your eyes.

Of course, nothing beats learning live, right? If you’ve seen any of my photos, you know I play as hard as I work.

So you’ll be excited to know that you have TWO opportunities to see me in Las Vegas in the next two weeks!

The first event will be September 25th – 27th. Traders4ACause is a charity founded by Nate Michaud, AKA InvestorsLive, to raise money for several great causes. Once a year, Nate brings together a panel of awesome hosts (including yours truly!) to share their trading knowledge. You can learn more, and register, HERE.

After that, I’ll be speaking at the Trader and Investor summit, which runs from October 3rd – 5th. I’m thrilled to be included in this three day, info-packed event! I’ll be speaking alongside some great traders and educators, including host and founder Timothy Sykes. To learn more, or register, visit the Trading and Investor Summit page. 

Feel free to email me kunal@bullsonwallstreet.com if you have any questions. See you soon!

What you probably don’t know is how Oscar became a full time trader. He started trading his own account in 2003, growing a relatively small initial investment into an amount he could trade actively. In 2007, he moved from Belgium to the US and also started trading full time. In 2013 Oscar took the Bulls Bootcamp, which helped him take his trading to the next level. I could tell you some more, but I’ll let Oscar tell his story in the webinar: how he started trading, the hurdles he overcame, and what advice he’d offer fellow Bulls students. Don’t miss it!

Just like Oscar  I have many other successful students who I have done these Path To Profitability webinars with. Check them out all these guys have a very inspiring story that you can glean some great information on but they all have 1 thing in common.  They are just regular people that had these common traits.
