John Carter Trading for a Living Course

John Carter Trading for a Living Course in 5 CDs with 200 pages manual

“If today’s market is telling you anything, it’s that you need strategies that give you consistent results!”

“My goal with these 5 setups is an 80% win rate.

“I believe you could achieve that goal, though I can’t promise it. Here’s how. . . .”

If you’re getting better than 80% successful trades, keep doing what you’re doing.

If not, let me teach you exactly what my plan is to reach that goal.

I’ve developed a trading formula that takes advantage of the market with the most tradable volatility I’ve ever found. Smooth up and down nearly every day. You’ll see just how smooth in charts I’ll show you below.

Combine that with the three strategies that feed off volatility better than any others I’ve seen, and you’ve got yourself the most powerful, consistent, stress-free trading you’re likely to find.

There’s none of the adrenaline-rushed, burnout-inducing intensity of the S&P e-minis, where you could trade a thousand contracts a day for quarter-point gains.

If you want to continue trading for the long run you need to get consistent results. You can’t do that if your methodology is so complicated, or so time-intensive, that your blood pressure goes up every time you contemplate a trade.

In fact, the formula I’m going to teach you makes the trading day so smooth that I added two more plays to my daily plan just to fill the times when the stock indices are stuck in a narrow trading range.

And I’m going to teach you that formula—including the three wave-riding strategies and the two slow-time strategies—in this information-packed course, called Achieving Consistent Results: Carter Trades the Mini-Dow.

By the end of this course my goal is for you to trade with:

• Better potential results
• Better leverage (no, it’s not Forex)
• Easier, more complete trading day
• Greater liquidity
• Wider average daily range
• More reliable indicators
• Higher contract value
• Less margin requirement

You’re going to achieve all this by learning about the market, the strategies, the daily trading ritual, the best days and even the best months to trade, the best indicators, and even daily trading rules that will help you reach greater success.

And after absorbing all there is in this educational, information-packed CD-ROM you’re going to walk out with everything you need to trade successfully. You can discard all the strategies that don’t work. All the complex indicators that take so much of your time. All the wasted time you spend watching CNBC to see what could possibly take you out. Because. . .

These are the strategies that traders wait all their lives to find.

A surfer searches the world for the perfect wave. And depending on the tides and seasons, it could be anywhere. It’s the same for traders. You look for markets with the greatest, smoothest volatility. That point can be a real moving target.

Right now, and until some as yet unknown new trading product is introduced, the sweetest spot is the mini-Dow.

Of course, that’s just the beginning. The perfect market is one thing, but finding the perfect strategy and plan to trade it is quite another.

John Carter spent several months experimenting with different strategies. I narrowed down my search to several with the best potential. Then I spent another few months fine-tuning them till they gave me the success rate I wanted to achieve. Now they’re ready to present to you in my new CD-ROM, Achieving Consistent Results: Carter Trades the Mini-Dow.

Squeeze Plays, Gap Plays, and Multi-Pivot Plays:
Like You’ve Never Seen Them Before.

These three strategies can get you significant gains in intraday mini-Dow trading. I’ll teach all three to you. Of course, you can use all three in other markets. But they are especially powerful in the current mini-Dow market.

1. Gap Plays: One of the best ways for you to stay profitable

Traders who want to succeed have to understand gaps, and taking advantage of gaps using the mini-Dow is one of the best ways I know to stay profitable.

I can generally count on an 80% win rate if I carefully follow the parameters of the Gap Play.

Not all gaps are created equal, so I have developed a checklist which I review each morning to determine whether to fade the opening gap, or if it is going to be a breakaway gap. I use different parameters for different situations.

In the chart to the left, you can see what I was watching on 8/1. The gap occurred and was filled within 15 minutes. This time it was only for 10 points, or $50 per contract ($450), but it is often much stronger.

My studies show that gaps under or over 50 points that occur on low pre-market volume have an 85% chance of filling their gaps that same day.

The second strategy I count on to trade the mini-Dow is the Multi Pivot Play.

2. Multi Pivot Plays: High-Potential Win Rate

This strategy trades off of confluence among the daily, weekly, monthly, and daily midpoint pivot levels. The Multi-Pivot also typically generates 3-5 trades a day. The key to this approach is to follow a specific methodology, and to use a series of tools to determine the directional bias of the market.

In this CD-ROM course, I’ll review the key points of the setups, show you exactly how I use them, and how to tie them in with my studies of other successful indicators and internal market readings. That will tell you the directional bias of the market. And knowing the directional bias will tell you whether you should sell against or play a break of a pivot level.

Take a look at the chart below. You can see that many days the price range covers nearly 200 points, which is typical in the mini-Dow.

On January 21 there was a long play off the weekly pivot at 10503. Using my 5-minute pivot strategy, which you’ll learn how to trade in this course, I went in on a buy-stop order at 10506, with an initial 20-point stop. Then I just trailed it pivot by pivot, closing it out at the daily midpoint at 10623.

I usually set these up for 20-40 point gains, but this was a nice +117 point grouper!

The third powerful strategy you’ll learn for trading the mini-Dow is my Squeeze Play.

3. Squeeze Play: The Most Reliable Indicator I’ve Ever Used

I use the Squeeze Play to ride the next leg higher or lower on the mini-Dow. This is the third of the strategies that I can generally count on for a high-potential win rate. And I will teach it to you.

The Squeeze Play can help you squeeze another 40 points or so from a 20-point Pivot Point trade. How? By measuring the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels that shows when markets are going to make a big move.

I tweaked this strategy continuously until I found the exact point that signals a heads-up, and a second point that signals a strong buy or a strong sell, one that is strong enough to keep moving through multiple levels of pivots.

You’re not going to find this strategy anywhere else. Its goal is to be correct in 80% of my trades, and I’m confident I can teach it to you.

Of course, I can’t promise you’ll do as well as I. But if you make that your goal, there’s no reason you can’t. Because by the end of this training session you’ll have every tool that I have. Nothing held back. And if for some reason you haven’t mastered the material by the end of the training, you’re welcome to contact me for further assistance. I’m that dedicated to your success.

These three strategies I just told you about are the very best you can use. They’ll give you the tools to play any movement on the mini-Dow, or any other equity or futures market.

Plus, when you attend my seminar I’m going to give you. . .

Two “Bonus” Strategies for Bonds and the Euro

We both know that even in the best markets there are slow times. That’s why I’m also going to teach you how to find and trade potential gains in the 30-year bond and euro markets.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to make the most of your trading day by capitalizing on the weakness of institutional traders—hunger.

When professional traders go to lunch the markets slow down. Few trading opportunities develop for you. That’s when you turn to the bond market.

You can enter your trade, then take your own lunch. Run errands, take a nap, do whatever you want for an hour. When you come back, if your trade succeeds you’ll be looking at the equivalent of 25 mini-Dow points (or 2.50 S&P points).

I have a high-potential success rate on this strategy. (Do you wonder why all the strategies I’m teaching you have around a high potential success rate for me? It’s because if a strategy isn’t outstandingly successful for me, I’m not going to teach it to you!)

The reason I have such a high success rate is that there is a very specific set of criteria that I watch for in bonds. You have to know the right time to trade and which indicators to use. There’s a certain consolidation pattern that must be present. And if everything lines up, you can pretty confidently expect your trade to succeed.

John Carter strategy for the euro is similar. I trade the currency futures on the CME. But this strategy can work on Forex too, if you prefer that market.

This course takes you along as I train a small group of traders. It’s a unique opportunity for you to “sit with us” for three very full days. Two of those three days will be spent executing, watching, and analyzing trades. Here’s the schedule:

SESSION #1:
Good habits and how to achieve them/Bad habits and how to break them

I’ll teach you the three mini-Dow strategies, good trading habits, and more.

SESSION #2:
Live Trading Sessions 2 and 3 take you into a real trading day. You can watch the course from the comfort of your home at any time of the day or night, but you’ll feel as though you’re in the heart of trading action.

During this session, we’ll trade live mini-Dows for 2 1/2 hours. It will really open your eyes now that you have the previous session’s basis of understanding. Each successive trade will become more clear to you.

When your mind is saturated with live trading we’ll learn my third mini-Dow strategy—the Gap Play. Then we’ll review why you need a daily trading plan. We’ll go over my set of daily trading rules and how you can adapt these tactics to your own personal trading style.

Then, we’ll do more live trading. Remember—I’m actually trading my own money here. This is for real!

After the close I review the trading day. We’ll analyze what worked and didn’t work. We’ll go over my own personal business plan that I developed for 2004. You’ll see how the trades I executed fall right into the parameters of the plan. If it’s not part of the plan, I don’t do it!

Lack of a plan that fits your personality and trading style is the #1 cause of failure for a trader, I believe.

SESSION #3:
Live Trading, Bonds, Euros

First, we’ll do more live trading. I want to make sure that by the end of this course, you completely understand the plays and how to execute them. The more trading we do, the more it will be drilled into a success habit for you!

Then, I’ll teach you my trade setups in bonds and the euro. We’ll look at how the live bond market is developing for the day, checking it every 20 minutes or so to see if the indicators will be pointing to a setup.

At the end you’ll hear real questions from traders about what they’ve learned, and my answers.
And if you have questions you’re free to ask me too! I’ll make sure you have my email address.

Any time you need clarification on any point we covered, I want to hear from you.

John Carter ultimate goal for this seminar is for you to successfully learn these strategies. And I’m here to help you achieve it.

You’ll also get a complete 200-page workbook. These will help ensure that you don’t lose a single fact, tip, or strategy from your memory.

With these five steps to swing trading success now firmly established in a logical, do-able routine, you’ll have everything you need for trading success.

Not only will you have the master plan, you will have eliminated all the ineffective, distracting habits and methods that impede your success as a trader. You’ll be ready to trade!
