Making Big Money in the Forex Market

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Follow me; I love this stuff. This is something once I showed it to the propriety traders in the last trading room I was in, they couldnât believe it. In fact, one of them couldnât believe it so much he refused to trade it because he thought he was seeing things. Even if you were a day trader and you can see a repeatable pattern which is, when the market participants get to a major resistance area, whether it is on the chart like this line here or whether it is on price like this two dollar level, they take a pause; donât you think that you can expect to see certain things even all the way down to an hour bar. I mean, you are just looking at snapshots of an hour at a time? The answer is absolutely. Thatâs the whole idea and the whole premise behind short term trading. We can see these areas on the chart where professional traders are going to pause. There are a lot of reasons why they are going to do it. George Soros is not a trader. George Soros hired a guy to do all his trading for him.** End Summary**

If you are confused about anything that I said; if it seemed like I was going a million miles an hour and I was talking in Greek to you and none of that made sense, realize this; you can learn this stuff very, very fast. I donât care if you are six, sixteen, sixty or ninety-four. I donât care how old you are. In a very short amount of time; literally in five days, you can get all of the basics that I just went through into your mind. Then you can log onto the website which literally takes thirty-two seconds. You can get on, watch the video and then see my game plan where I distill all of that analysis down into very easy to digest four minute video and use it for yourself. You donât have to go through ten or fifteen years or trying to learn this stuff. I am going to part with this and I have gone over five minutes. The reason why I believe and listen; this is after coaching traders for ten years, after talking to traders for ten years;** End Summary**

Forex Trading Planning Process

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

I am not going to teach you something and down the road you know, try to sell you something else. Itâs in the course. Believe me, if I have something new, I am going to put that on my website too. You have all of this information for you. Just keep in mind that is why we can plan. Thatâs why I can tell you ahead of time, sometime a week or two ahead of time what to expect, when the market is going where it is going to go. All of that goes into my analysis. I plan on doing some regularly scheduled web conferences like this; these ownerâs calls, just to make sure that youâre staying up to date and to specifically to answer questions. The objective is going to be introducing to you the whole idea of the planning process. You can get a review of this by going to the membership website and looking at the weekly wrap up. The weekly wrap up, I usually have some good intentions of trying to show you my twenty minute process without any commentary. Unfortunately, because my core I am a teacher; I love to teach.** End Summary**

Big Opportunities in the Forex Market

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

The reason why I start with the weekly chart is because this is where the really big opportunities are in the Forex market. I know that the course is on short term momentum day trading but the one thing that I learned over time, the number one mistake amongst day traders, even day traders with a lot of experience; they forget that the big money players in the market are looking at longer term charts. In fact, most of the guys that I knew in the hedge fund business would probably have a coronary, would have a heart attack, if someone told them they had to look at a five minute chart. They would have no idea as to what to do with something like that. I mean these are guys that are looking at, in some cases, five year charts. For every bar, itâs five years of times or a year or quarters, months, weeks certainly; maybe a daily. Going down these really short term charts, they just wouldnât want to do it. What they think in their mind is just a bunch of noise and here is why.** End Summary**

Understanding Forex Trading Market â Part 3

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

I donât know if you have ever seen the Discovery Channel in Las Vegas, they have got these face software. Have you ever seen CSI or one of these TV shows where they are going through the faces? That is exactly what your brain is doing. It is trying to match up that person and all of a sudden, ding, thereâs Joe. You turn to your friend or wife and hey look, Joe. Then you go over and talk to Joe. You pick hit out of these thousands of people because of the associations in your brain. So what you want to do is put the basic information inside of your mind without trying to associate it first, the first time through. Then the second time through is when now we can take this information and we can start working on associating it. You can associate different patterns. A chart is associated with price and Great British pounds U.S. dollars is associated with currency. You are not trying to connect all of these things at the same time that you are also trying to assemble the vocabulary.** End Summary**

Understanding Forex Trading Market â Part 2

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

I can tell you in my life, I have literally used this technique to learn very complex subjects in half the time as very skilled supposedly, expert people. In fact, you can use this technique inside for three weeks to become just as knowledgeable and almost as proficient as someone who has been using and understanding that information for ten or fifteen years. Okay? Now here is the most important part and this is something I donât want you to feel nervous about; just give it a try. Just trust me on this. The last thing is, take a complete break for at least one day, preferably two days. The ideal thing is of course, is weâre talking about going through five discs, would be to go through just one, two, three, four and five Monday through Friday, one disc per day and then take the weekend off. Go play with the kids, go to a movie, go out with your wife, go on a two day cruise, fly to Vegas; whatever you are going to do for two days, donât even think about it.** End Summary**

The Biggest Shortcut in Learning Forex Tradingse

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

I am going to give you probably the biggest shortcut in learning in your entire life. In fact, you probably would have a much more pleasant time in school if they had just shared these few things with you. It deals with the actual physical way that our brains learn. If you want to learn something quickly. I mean literally, if you want to take something and virtually put it into your mind, there are very few things that you have to avoid and just a few things you have to do. Okay? First of all, you want to avoid sitting too long. I mean, literally sitting. Most of us sit down, plop down and go, I am going to go through all of these videos by Mac and I am going to run through all of them tonight. Before you have known it, you have gone through probably six hours of information. It is practically midnight. You are bone tired. You feel like you are ready to strike a match on your mouth because it is so dry. You havenât taken a water break. You havenât gone to the bathroom. You are just miserable.** End Summary**

The Highs and Lows of Forex Market

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

What you can see by looking at weekly highs and weekly lows is whether or not the big money players are bullish or whether theyâre bearish. I will give you the punch line here. The punch line is, this two dollar level right here is where the opportunity lies. I want you to think about this and right at the edge of this twenty minutes so I am going to have to go quick with this explanation. The last time the British pound was up at two dollars was 1992 and it didnât spend a whole lot of time above it. Itâs going to take a huge shift in thinking to make the British pound push above two dollars and stay there. If you go back even further; you have to go back to 1978 to see the British pound above two dollars for any length of time. We have some major decision making here. Again, if you learn nothing else from this, you are going to learn that all of this stuff; all of the charts, all this candlesticks and all of this squiggly lines; all it is doing is showing you the decisions that market participants are making.** End Summary**

How to Learn the Skill of Forex Trading

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

You donât have to go through ten or fifteen years or trying to learn this stuff. I am going to part with this and I have gone over five minutes. The reason why I believe and listen; this is after coaching traders for ten years, after talking to traders for ten years; I have personal trading mentors who have been in the business for twenty-five, thirty years; the number one reason why I believe it takes people sometimes years and years and years to learn a skill like trading is because number one; they donât have a coach or mentor. That is the reason why I insisted on being able to have one on one contact with every one of my members. You need to have a mentor. You need to have a coach. In most cases, these guys have a mentor for a very short amount of time and virtually in all of those cases, their mentor was not trained to be a mentor. I was groomed practically for this by the United States military. We were trained how to train.** End Summary**

Forex Trading Pattern â Part 2

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

I know exactly what I am going to do if the market gets there. Now all of that gets distilled every day in a three and a half to four and a half minute video where I go over what I just went over inside a twenty minutes. I condense it down to about four minutes. I give you all of the details where I am looking to get in; where I am looking to get out, areas that I see on the chart. If I think it is a big move, I will let you know; hey, I will probably be hanging on to this thing for a bigger move. If I think itâs going to be a fast move or if I think it is going to be a highly risky trade, I will let you know all of that as well. In fact, right now you can see here is another pattern starting to build. This is outside what I would call the normal sweet spot so I wouldnât be taking this trade personally. You can see here is another pattern indicating that the big money is starting to make a decision.** End Summary**

You can get a review of this by going to the membership website and looking at the weekly wrap up. The weekly wrap up, I usually have some good intentions of trying to show you my twenty minute process without any commentary. Unfortunately, because my core I am a teacher; I love to teach. In fact, one of the reason why I do what I do; the question that I would get invariably at a seminar or invariably at an event like this is hey Mac, if this stuff is so great, then why are you selling it? One of the big reasons is actually very selfish. When I teach, I get better. When I was in the military, I taught hand to hand combat. We taught hand to hand combat to the 147th, which is the most elite aviation unit in the entire world as far as I am concerned. These are the guys if you have seen Blackhawk Down;** End Summary**

Planning Forex Trading-Part 2

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Letâs start with the weekly here. The first thing I am going to do is zoom way out. The reason why I want to zoom way out is I want to be able to get a birdâs eye view. What this is going to do for me is; let me change my scaling here. What this is going to do for me is let me know where some of the major areas, the big money, have come into the market. Now how can I tell this? You can tell it very easily because that is where you see these patterns that I am talking about in the course. In fact, you can see here; whatâs this? Well there is a pennant pattern. A pennant pattern is a consolidation pattern. You can also see an area back over here where there is a sideways consolidation. This is where the market tried to break through to a level to the upside and it couldnât. So it eventually broke down. You can see this is a major move to the down side. I can see that there is an area right here on the chart.** End Summary**

The Importance of Highs and Lows in Trading

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

What this is going to do is it is going to show me very, very quickly where these areas are and how the market relates to that. So right there, what I have done; let me draw this in. What I have done is I have contained this area with two lines. Those two lines are right here. If you are just listening on the phone, this may not be making a whole lot of sense to you but if you are watching the video, it will. Anyway, now you can see thereâs the zone I was talking about. I can see that the market has some reactions in there. Let me erase all of this. Now letâs go ahead and draw in the other area down here, here and here. Now you can see what I did. I keyed in on a couple of points, here and here. I keyed on a couple points here and here. Now I want you to observe what happens to the market. Look at this. Time after time, the market finds support. It finds resistance. It bangs it head. The market participants make decision around these lines so we have to honor that.** End Summary**

Letâs go down to an hourly bar. Now as weâre looking at an hourly bar, we have got a bigger picture. We have got our bigger pattern. All of it is still in place. What are we looking for? Well, this is where we look for additional clues that the market is moving in the direction that we anticipated. Remember based on our planning, we said that the market was probably going to move down to support if it broke out and we can see that the market has the support down here. We can also see that the market has support down here. Remember this is a line that we drew in effect, weeks ago. So we are already anticipating this. How do we get a game plan from that? Believe me; I am still within my twenty minute promise here. What I highlighted in todayâs video was this triangle pattern here. What I was expecting that was if the market was going to make a reaction, it was going to happen down here. It was going to be that the market was moving down, right? If the market is moving down, then I have a target.** End Summary**

Forex Market Opportunities

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

One of the things that especially rookie traders miss is that the market is driven really by the big money players. The big money players are going to look at a chart like this and back here and I am pointing to February, March and April, 2006. They are going to think to themselves based on fundamental research; based on quant research, based on talking to bankers, based on inside information, based on corporate mergers and acquisitions information, based on money flow that the British pound is going to be significantly higher inside of six to eight months. They may not know exactly how much higher but they will know a significant. They may have a target letâs say, that is fifteen hundred points away, possibly a little bit less; letâs say twelve hundred points away. You will have to remember that these guys are dealing in terms of five hundred million at a whack. I mean, these are not small positions. That means that they are trading in five hundred million at a whack which probably means their total position is anywhere from five billion to fifteen billion dollars.** End Summary**

For those of you who donât know, you have got to be careful with some of the guys out there in the Forex market because what happens is interbankfx will pay them money to get you to sign up and trade. I donât want that pressure at all. I donât get a dime from these guys. They are just one of the better brokers out there and they have got some really good support. When you go to the interbankfx.com website, you can sign up for a demo account. On that demo account, you will have access to the meta-trader software platform. You will be able to get support and get help if something is going wrong with the software, if you demo account isnât working. I regularly call these guys to make sure they are answering the phone and if they can answer questions. Up to this point, they have done a really good job. If for some reason that changes, I will let all the members know as soon as possible so you wonât have to deal with them anymore.** End Summary**

Learning Forex the Easy Way â Part 3

This is also by the way, a very quick and easy way to learn foreign languages. Just a side note here, one of the reasons why we as adults donât learn foreign languages as fast as children; this is a personal belief is because we are trying to build the associations at the same time we are trying to learn basic vocabulary. So this is some very advanced cutting edge learning technology that Psychologists and educators even at this point, are just now starting to use. So thatâs the introduction. Hopefully, now you can understand how it will actually be very easy for you to transition into the membership website. Again, I understand if you havenât had a chance to look at the videos yet, you will have those up on the website so you will be able to. Hopefully, now you can see how in a very, very short amount of time. You can start to at least, understand the basic information that I go through inside of the membership website. It is very important that when you get to the videos, especially my daily videos, that you know how to use them.** End Summary**

I want to learn how to do things right now. I am going to go to a two day seminar and I am going to learn everything there is to know about knitting to basket weaving and I am going to walk out of there next week. It just doesnât happen that way. So hereâs how you can cut 30 to 80% off the learning curve. Why such a big range? Some people just have an easier time with it. They can follow these few things and they can hack major chunks off of their learning curve. Other people are just a little bit less. The first thing is, you want to take twenty minutes at a time. Go 20 minutes; watch a video; watch a portion of a video; push pause; get up; get a drink of water and do something completely different. I donât care if it is watching TV or if it is going out in the garden or throwing the ball to your kids or petting the dog. Just do something different for 5 minutes. All it takes is 5 minutes. Let the information percolate in your brain and then go back and continue.** End Summary**

World Class Forex Trading Powers in 32 Seconds â Part 2

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

I got the idea actually thinking about a childrenâs book that I had and it was this really strange book on how you can get things done right away. In fact, it was supposed to be this fun catalog. One of the things in this catalog was a device that you could put inside of your doorway and if you were a kid and were all filthy dirty and you walked through this thing, it would make your clothes and body instantly clean. It had another device where you could turn into your room and it would make your room instantly picked up. You know even as a kid, I remember going through this thing and spending a lot of time thinking, man, wouldnât that be great if you had something that would make old things brand new or you had something that you could walk through and it would make your body instantly clean? The book was really playing as a kid, on that desire for the instant fix. I think all we have to do is back ourselves up a little bit. You know there is really very little in life that we can do instantaneously.** End Summary**

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

How do you world class trading powers in 32 seconds? First things first. Is it possible to get those trading powers in 32 seconds? It really is but let me hopefully give you a little bit of perspective before we really dive into how exactly to get these trading powers. I want to make a little bit of comment first. The reality of life is most everybody would like to go to sleep and wake up rich. I would to. Letâs face it. Most of us donât like the idea of toiling away 20, 30 years to make our money. It doesnât make any sense so I think we are all on this quest for short cuts and getting places faster; getting places so we can eventually do what we want to do. Most of you probably heard the old clique story about the executive who goes to the Caribbean and is supposed to be enjoying himself on vacation and he just canât seem to do it. He finally is tossing and turning one night.** End Summary**

In 1991-1992, I was a graduate also of what many consider to be the worldâs most demanding military trading thatâs the U.S. Army Specials Forces selection. I was only in the Army for four years and nine months. Quite frankly, being a trainer and having trainerâ mentality, I didnât exactly fit in with the Army culture, if you can imagine it. Trainers tend to be very independent. We tend to like to go our own way so try to fit that in the military. It didnât quite work. So we parted on amicable terms. It was an honorable discharge. Nevertheless, was something I am glad I went through but I am glad that God had other plans for my life. In 1994-1995, I met my future wife. If any of you have ever wondered if there is such a thing as love at first sight, I am a living testament to that. The very second that I saw her; I knew she was going to be my wife and I would be with her for the rest of my life.** End Summary**

I wanted to title this presentation, How to Give World Class Trading Powers in Thirty-two Seconds, just because I thought it was sort of snazzy and I thought that might be al little misleading. We are going to talk about how best to use the membership website. I am going to give you a little bit of an introduction to me; information that wasnât necessarily in the letter that most of you saw. We are going to be going over some of the opportunities that I see in the Forex right now; a couple of details that have to do with the meta-trader program. Unfortunately, one of the things we have to deal with meta-trader is that I donât control it so I have got a way to get you technical support and your questions answered with the updated versions. So we will be dealing with those meta-trader issues. Then I am going to walk you through exactly what I do in twenty minutes to get ready for the market. Hopefully by the end of this presentation, youâre going to have a better understanding on how to use the membership website.** End Summary**
