Have you had your trading ‘eureka’ money yet?

Yesterday I had a great call with one of our RTCT feature speakers, Mike Hamilton, who will talk at next week’s live event in London.

On the call I asked Mike what attracted him to trading and what he’ll be covering at the workshop next Wednesday:

Mike: “I’ve been trading since the 1980’s, it’s the freedom it allows me to enjoy life. But initially it actually took over my life, I was so absorbed trying lots of systems and strategies that I had less time than before!

Me: What changed?

Mike: I guess I only started to make real, regular money about 2007 when I began developing my own system for trading. I then spent the following 12 years developing and refining this system – and to be honest – it’s brilliant, and keeps working.”

Me: But what makes it so special?

Mike: Because it’s simple, and uses basic tools in a unique combination that reads the market for the current session.

Me: So is it a special indicator?

Mike: No, the problem with most indicators is they are lagging – they tell you what happened yesterday, or last week, or last year – and that’s no good for someone like me who likes to be in and out the market on the same day! I want to understand what’s happening now – and where the the banks going to buy or sell today – do your indicators tell you that?

Me: Not really! but scalp trading is an established trading strategy, what’s different about your style?

Mike: This is a very different kind of scalping where we are finding confirmation levels, not wasting time on 2 minute charts. We aren’t scalping for 10 / 15 pips, we look for 25 pips.

Me: Wow! 25 pips a day, few days a week, can be a good income most of us, is it really achievable?

Mike: If you’re willing to put the work in – anything is possible! My Scalper School traders join me before the markets open in a live online trading room to see how I plot the system on my charts. When the markets open I want to see the same price action to take a trade, otherwise I wait patiently.

Me: Can anyone learn to trade this method?

Mike: Yes, if you have the basic training then you can exploit this method. It’s so good I have had traders join us who have traded for a few years; for most it’s a ‘eureka’ moment when they see how the system works.

Me: Thanks Mike – I’ll look forward to joining you at the workshop next Wednesday in London to learn more!
