Cisco futures course for Newbie

Recommended Posts

I am newbie to Market Profile though I have been day/swing trading for ES for few years. I read Mind Over Markets and ready for next level. From the forum postings, I understand that cisco futures course could be good start.

 

Anyone had experience with their long / short courses. How does they differ. From the website, short course is for day trader and long course is for swing trader. I am primarily a day trader however I do swing trade. Do I need to take both the courses?

 

Any comments on cisco futures course or suggestions for any other MP course will be greatly appreciated.

yes, i took the short course as recommended by don jones at cisco. He has been doing mp since its inception. He is generous with his time and input, but you need to be creative in utilizing his work toward developing a method. I currently use a modified version of mp for Ninja Trader. I found that 5-day balances usually worked the best. The mp add on for NT has the ability to merge days (even break them down by 1/2 hr. period). The levels you get can be incredibly accurate. Ultimately, you have to determine what sort of time frame, how many contracts, etc... I trade off the pivots the MP gives me; e.g. a b/o with a pullback and then a move (hopefully to the next level) and so on. If you want to take a short route to trading mp contact Frank at balancetrader. There are others, but BT is straight forward (and less expensive than most MP trading rooms). I don't currently have any affiliation with either Don or Frank btw. My background and experience are no doubt different than yours, but I find that MP is the real deal; indicators are unreliable, but you can learn to trade with MP and perhaps volume bars alone with a little experience... Good luck.

Thanks btfox. That was helpful. Did you find out how the long course differs from short course? I am a day trader who swing trades some times. Does short course covers both day trading and swing trading.

Long course is 12 mo. and $1200, including all the data modules, trading engine, etc. Short course is 5 mo. and $600 (see: http://www.cisco-futures.com/

the "Trader Training." link) Likewise, it includes various data packages. If you are a short term trader I think I would go with the short course....and I think that you can extend the time if you want. Under "Free Stuff" there is a free two-week trial. Once you can log on there is a pdf of don's trading manual which can be downloaded. Without the course it won't be as much use to you... It's a good reference though. Good luck. Call Don and ask questions after a trial btw.

    • 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. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
