Welcome to the Education Section.
This section is designed to give traders new ideas and implementation strategies for successful trading. 

Confused with the market?
Most traders are, until they have spent enough time analyzing the market and learning how the market works in correlation to greed and fear. To reduce the trial and error time most successful and unsuccessful traders go through, we broke down the a successful trading system in the education section, allowing the trader to learn some key cornerstone blocks to a successful trading system. 
 
Serious Traders Welcome
Making the decision to learn the theory and principles of trading is not an easy decision. Most traders come to the market in hopes of making a quick dollar. In the recent bull market, many were able to do this. Over the last couple of years, this has changed dramatically, as over 90% of quick buck traders have lost money and found out that the easy, no work ethic approach failed them. 

Then there are those who desire to learn, but from the confusing systems most companies teach, they have just grown more confused and frustrated as they lack an understanding of what it takes to achieve results. Active traders who fail to learn the principles of trading have less than a 5% chance of profiting in a volatile market.

What is the solution? 
Make the decision that this is the route you are going to take. Make the decision that you will learn the principles and theories of the market and then paper trade, prior to adding live capital to the market (you will learn later why paper trading is key). If you do not want to take the time to learn key principles, then I encourage you not to trade futures. We spend our time and focus on making successful traders, not lucky traders. 

A common question asked is how long will it take to see results? 
Simple answer. The more time you put into your studies and the more humble of a person you are (willingness to admit what you did failed to work) and the greater you desire to learn from your mistakes, the quicker results will come. If you never want to admit to a mistake and see the truth as to why an application failed to work, or just do not want to place more than 10 minutes of effort into learning how to trade, then you are likely not going to make it in the market.
