Mastering The Trade by John F. Carter

Recommended Posts

Although there are bits of useful trading ideas in this book. my previous suspicion of this book being nothing more than a promo piece for his more expensive paid services can be substantiated by one of his most recent webinar entitled : " How to become the top 1% of all internet marketers', or something to that effect.

Yeh, great book, but his 'indicators' are BS priced and you don't need them anyways, they are almost worthless IMHO.

 

It's how you apply it in a discretional manner that counts.

 

Oh and it doesn't take nearly 10 years to become a successful trader. Some guys who are good can be a gun within a year.

I would recommend this book. I was a floor trader and used a lot of these ideas. This book was able to put what I did into words.

 

One of John Carter's most well-known techniques was using the Daily Pivots, for instance, by placing an order to buy at S1 and place a stop under S2, or short R1 and place stop above R2. I hope that is not what you are talking about.

Though I think his 'custom indicators' are complete BS and his prices are a complete rip-off, the chapter on market internals was excellent!

 

Worth it alone just to read this chapter and John does seem a pretty damn genuine guy despite his site looking like a total sales pitch sometimes.

Since he basically stole his indicators from the TS forums, do him a favor and find a free PDF version of his book if you are interested. Just using google for a minute would suffice.

 

I like that sentiment! I bought his book before I knew too much about ttm. Can't remember why to be honest. The book is OK, nothing special, certainly not one I would particularly recommend. I find it odd some 'snake oil' salesman are tolerated others not. I think what they did with their stolen indicators is pretty reprehensible. Again the irony is they are only OK anyway.

I agree. If I actually got something out of the book I would have purchased it. But I really didnt find anything of value out of his book.

I wonder if anyone is trading by his setups? Not only for pivots but also gap trading and scalping. I finished reading his book but i wonder if those setups really work.

 

he is using few different setups. The ones i liked the most are

 

1) gap trading (fading the opening gaps) if volume is less than 30 000 on dow jones futures

 

2) fading the pivot points on choppy day markets

 

3) using squeeze indicator (basically when bolinger bands are inside the Keltner Channels and than they shoot out of them...he is playing on volatility here)

 

Share your experiences

 

thx

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
