Understanding the Felton Trading System

Recommended Posts

Roger, please continue posting your lessons.

 

You can't let criticism get to you. If you do, then regardless of the actual merits of your system, you signal to others that you're not confident in the what you're doing. It looks like you're seeking approval and validation from others. Stop that. Be your own kind of awesome instead.

 

Thanks, wadams, for the support. Trust me, confidence isn't something I'm short of. I get approval and validation every day but this ego doesn't need it. Criticism is a part of life and everyone could probably use some.

 

But there's a big difference between healthy constructive criticism and character assassination...a difference between expressing personal opinion and making personal threats.

 

I came to TL to share and help in any way I could. I envisioned providing the group with some very useful indicators and bar types and then perhaps conducting some intensive training webinars for the group to get the maximum benefit. Traders Lab was to be the exclusive location where non-student traders could go to obtain these indicators and training. Membership would logically increase...possibly dramatically. The best forums are the ones that are growing.

 

Right now, there are about 3 or 4 TL members who have expressed encouragement and I really do appreciate that. I really like Mark and the rest of the group who work hard to make TL the best. I have some options that came up over the holidays but, with or without my contributions, Traders Laboratory will continue to do well.

There are so many trading systems out there, that every one who sells it is making MORE money selling trading systems & training than making money using their own systems! It is the 'drink your own cool aid' concept that generally does not exist when the vendor themselves 'sell' under the auspicious of 'training or free consulting'. Not knocking anyone, but it has become the "university model" (have 2 kids in college right now)!!!!!

 

Truly, if a system is good, you will find the programmer in Hawaii doing 10 min of auto-trading and enjoying the rest of the day. I have encountered some systems that are closed and under Auto-Trading-Model.

 

Not saying Felton or EminiAcademy or Navitrader or ProTrader or Intentional Trader or Trading123 or TradeSafe or DTI or Market Tamer or Brain Trading or any of the 10 others that I have been evaluating are better than others - After attending multiple webinars of all of these folks, I feel they are made of the same branch of the tree as of Mar to Aug-2013 (my due diligence phase).

 

What is common amongst them is what "we" traders need to learn?

> Discipline, Fixed Process, Journaling, S & R, Simplicity, Starting Small, Sim First-Trial Next-Production Last and finally believing in Myself.

 

Each of these Webinars talk about $4997 to $12965 if totaled up individually, but today (and only for 48 hours) it is $1999 to $2477 or something along those lines. Some differ from this model from the names listed above.

 

All Universities make money......All Professors make money. Students might or might not get a job coming out of a 4 year college. Right? Well, in our trading business, this is an annuity stream for these guys with a large upfront fee for training, justifying their own expenses, team-members and pre-sales-pitches. Nothing wrong with it since it is their business model, but we have to be a 'skeptic', 'do our due diligence' and finally jump in small with a 100% COMMITTMENT. If one just does the multiplication of 1000 traders in a Live Trading Room at $150 per month, it is enough for them to sit back and enjoy! Remember all of these 1000 folks would have had to pay $1500 per person upfront! I could be wrong, since I am new!

 

For me, the most important elements in a company are 1) Unlimited use of the Trading Room, 2) Free Lifetime Updates of Software, 3) Unlimited Access to Training, and a 4) Good cycle of SW Upgrades with New Features. Most IMPORTANT> All of this for ONE upfront fee, and no nickel/dime after that (on a monthly basis). Most of the names above DO NOT MAKE this cut!!!!!

 

If I were you, I would see if they offer the above, and if not, keep searching......

 

Hope some of you will find the above comments useful (I've spent 30 hours a week for 4 months), since I am just a typical newbie coming in with a lot of hope, but walking the same path 99% of new traders do (as I now understand it). Lets see if I am a statistic of the 92% of Traders that fail, or am I part of the 8%!!!!!! One just never knows on the eventual outcome. Love the mystery.

 

PS: I can afford to say all of the above since I will only be a part time trader at best for the next 5 years and have a steady stream of income from a corporate job.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Kenny

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
