First Ever LIVE Redline Trades - Two Wins!

2011-05-03T07:55:00.000-06:00

I just wanted everyone to know that yesterday I started trading Redlines LIVE. I made only two trades in the afternoon (after the morning had its way with me) and won both of them. I was up 1.25 points on just those two trades.

Today, I started trading right at the open and won my first trade - 1.75 points - after 16 minutes.

More to come!

Welcome REDLINES!

2011-04-21T19:56:00.000-06:00

If you haven't heard of Market Mover Trading and their recent release of REDLINES, then you don't know about how amazing this product can be to people!

Market Mover Trading offers the "whole meal deal" in respect to trading futures. With the addition of REDLINES to the original style of ANNOUNCEMENT TRADING, MMT appeals to people looking to get in, make a trade, and get out and be done with their day, as well as those who have time to make trades throughout the day.

Would you please contact me and let me know that you'd like to understand ANNOUNCEMENT TRADING and REDLINES. I promise not to bore you to death with useless information. I also promise not to pressure you into ANYTHING. I will give you the information you need to make a decision for yourself. That's it.

So, if you're interested, let me know. If not, have a great day. :)

Kevin

P.S. Earlier today, a friend of mine posted this saying on Facebook:

"If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't you'll find an excuse."

SO TRUE!

Wow! I'm getting L-A-Z-Y I guess

2011-03-30T16:00:00.000-06:00

Hello everyone!

I must apologize for not getting back on here an blogging more. I have recommitted myself (with Sean's encouragement) to posting at least weekly to keep you up to date and informing you of my trades, etc.

If you are an active member of MMT, I post my full screenshots (details on particular trades) on GoogleDocs. If you are interested in accessing these screenshots, please just let me know by email and, once you're verified, I'll invite you to view my GoogleDoc files.

Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know that I'm still trading and loving every minute of it! :)

I will jump back here soon and post some more info, trades, etc.

As always, if you're interested in MMT, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me!

Thanks.

Kevin

Way Too Long - Yet I'm "Trading In The Zone!"

2011-02-04T07:45:00.000-07:00

It has been way too long since I have posted here. I apologize.

After a quiet couple of months (December and January are notoriously lower in volume and movement) I am back into trading BIG TIME!

I've actually been trading all along, but just got lazy about posting. That's the real truth. In January I had a decent month. I didn't trade a ton, but was still able to pull out 50% on my money. Again, nowhere in the world gives you that kind of a return in that short of a time frame, unless you're doing something illegal, I guess.

Today's news announcement was "Unemployment Rate". This tends to be the "big mover" lately with world economies using this announcement to judge the USA recovery. A lot of traders wait for this announcement big time!

The news came out and the market went wild. I got in and made my money in 11 seconds. I gained 25%! I was in and done and out of my trade for the day.

Take a look.

Have a great weekend - as I will.

Kevin

P.S. Last weekend Market Mover Trading hosted a big event with its traders called Bright Futures Success Summit. They had the author Mark Douglas come and speak (which cost a pretty penny, I'm sure). Mr. Douglas has authored some of the best books in trading, including Trading In The Zone. The seminar was AMAZING!!! If you weren't there, I strongly recommend getting your hands on his book NOW! It is the best!

No trade, then small win

2010-12-03T10:42:00.000-07:00

Looking at the first trade, I should have gotten some great profit. However, I simply did not execute the trade. Had I gone with my gut, I would have gotten in and could have easily gotten about 6-8 points (because I was ready to use a trailing stop.

But I second-guessed myself, so I stayed out. However, the ability to cash out on this trade was HUGE! Someone could have turned $1000 into $2400 in just two minutes!

My second trade went well, but didn't really net much money.

For the month of November, I made 16 trades. I won 11 of them and was up 9.5 points total. I increased my trading account by $1900! I challenge anyone to find any other way to make $1900 in one month by using $2000. And I didn't make many trades. Overall, I'm very pleased with a GREAT November. I've been talking with a lot of my MMT friends who made MUCH more than me. I am a very conservative trader. I stay out of trades that don't particularly line up with my rules.

This week's stats - I made only four trades (I didn't get in to several trades because of minimal movement and my conservative nature). I won three trades and lost one. I was up 1.75 points (not a ton, I realize).

Regardless, it's a great way to make some extra cash. Of course, I don't downplay the costs. There are costs associated. It needs to be something that works for you. If you wonder if it will work for you, why not ask someone who's involved? ME! Call, text or email me - or fill out the form on the right.

Have a great weekend.

One for the history books...

2010-12-02T08:25:00.000-07:00

I had a no-trade and a losing trade today. The first simply didn't move enough for me to capture the movement correctly. So I stayed out.

The second moved more than expected and I got in short pretty early, while the market shot to the moon.

All together I am down 2.0 points today (stop loss). Today was an educational day, for sure.

No Trades Today :(

2010-12-01T08:36:00.000-07:00

The market movement today didn't really do what I wanted it to do.

So no trades for me today. :(

Two Nice Wins Today!

2010-11-30T08:23:00.000-07:00

Please let me know if you have any questions about these trades! As you can see, I'm up 3.0 points today - trading four contracts ($2000). I was able to pull $600 out of the market today in a matter of just a few minutes.

Be back tomorrow!

Three Good Wins

2010-11-24T08:24:00.000-07:00

Have a GREAT Thanksgiving, everyone!

Win then Loss - Trading Platform Issues

2010-11-23T08:36:00.000-07:00

My first trade was based on a very specific MMT strategy that got me into the trade at MY pricepoint and in the direction that I wanted it to go. No wonder I won it.

My second trade was reaction based and didn't employ a MMT strategy. I "just wanted to get in" and as a result, lost the trade. There were some issues with the trading platform (it stalled for over a minute). And, I actually should not have been trading because it was having a problem.

So I was down 0.5 points today. Not down much, but would have rather had a winning day.

Win then Loss

2010-11-18T09:02:00.000-07:00

The volume on the first trade this morning was so minimal that it hardly moved at all. I was able to get out several minutes later with just one tic of profit.

The second trade had some significantly positive news. I got in short too early and lost 2.0 points (stop loss).

Frustrating day trading, but I'll live to trade another day.

Next trade is next Tuesday - November 23rd.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Small Loser Today

2010-11-17T06:54:00.000-07:00

There were several trades yesterday, but I didn't get in to trade any of them. :(

Today, I narrowly missed getting in long at the bottom of the long wick below the opening candle.

As a result of "wanting to get into a trade", I got in short too early and it turned against me for a 1.5 point loser.

Here is the screenshot.

See you back tomorrow, hopefully!

Two Announcements - No Trades for Me

2010-11-15T09:14:00.000-07:00

Hello Everybody.

There were two different announcement times today. I was at my computer ready to trade for the first one, but set up my trade such that I didn't get in to a trade. I ultimately ended up cancelling my orders and walking away.

The second trade I decided not to trade. I was not even at my computer. I actually went on a run instead.

Here are the screenshots of the movement.

Back again tomorrow.

2010-11-12T08:24:00.000-07:00

I'll be totally honest, I really don't like U of M announcements much. While I've made some good money on some of them, they are relatively unpredictable and don't move like "normal" announcements.

That said, I did not get into a trade today. Below is the screenshot from the movement. I was at my computer, ready to trade, but decided against it today.

Go have a great weekend! See you back here next week.

Kevin

One other thing...

2010-11-10T07:19:00.002-07:00

By the way - any of you that are in Market Mover Trading already, and would like to see a more detailed view of my trades with my set up, entry points, exit points, and the flurry of thoughts that run through my head - I used to post these on my "private" blog - www.myrealmarketmover.blogspot.com.

However, Blogger places restrictions on how many people can view (or be invited to view) a private blog. As you can imagine, 100 invitations got used up really quickly. So I am now doing a shared folder on Google Docs (docs.google.com).

Of course, you have to be invited to view them. I sent out invitations to everyone currently in my "trading organization" already - so look for it. It comes from my obscure email address - kbouck222@gmail.com (one I NEVER check - so don't email me there). But look for it.

If you're not in my trading organization - you can still view these files if you email me (kevin@marketmovertrading.net) and request an invitation. Remember, the email will come from kbouck222@gmail.com (again, don't email me there). You will need to send me identifying information that lets me know you're in MMT. I need to know who your sponsor is and when you joined, basically.

My goal is to give EVERYONE in MMT the opportunity to learn from my mistakes and grow from there. This is an amazing opportunity and I hope you all grasp it and run with it into the bright, shining future. :)

Happy trading.

Back Blogging Again!

2010-11-10T07:10:00.000-07:00

The real pity is that I just got lazy. I've been trading and winning most, losing some, all the while. But I was just lazy and not posting my trades. Sorry everybody!

"While I've been gone..." Well while I've NOT been posting I have had a real breakthrough - at least in my own opinion. I have been working hard to be able to more clearly know how and when to effectively use a sniper strategy. That is one of the MAJOR reasons why MMT is so important. Without the prediction lines and the forecasted movement (from the MMT announcement calendar), there is NO WAY you can place trades like I did today and win them.

So here is my screenshot from today's trade. I got in short - immediately when the news came out - and won 1.0 point.

Again, my theory is this - if you can win 1.0 point per day - over the course of five days that would be 50% on your money. In just one month, you would have won over 200% on your money. Take your money to ANY bank in the world and ask for a 200% monthly return and they would laugh you out the door.

This program works. It not only works, it works WELL and I'm going to prove it to you - on this post.

Look for another post on Friday (no trades tomorrow because of the Veteran's Day Holiday).

Have a great day!

Loss SIM, Win LIVE

2010-09-30T08:25:00.000-06:00

Last night we did a, check it, 6.5 hour long training in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Chris Pelissie (a Master Trader in my book) opened up and taught basic information, strategies, and literally went from step one to step ten over the course of the night. I think people were energized, reinvigorated, and very thankful to him for his time and talent.

So... I got home (to Farmington Utah) at about 1:30 am. I told myself that it probably wouldn't be wise to trade at 6:30, because of the lack of sleep.

Then, as it happens when you have small children, my two-year-old woke up at about 6:00 am and was relentless about staying awake. My wife, bless her, tried to get her calmed down - which worked for about a minute or two - but to no avail. I must tell you that when I returned home last night (early this morning) my wife Joy was up bottling pears. So she was not well rested either.

Regardless to say, I ultimately got up (around 6:15) and went into my office to trade. But because of my personal rule of not trading if you're not in the "zone" so-to-speak, I decided to make the trade on paper, or simulation - not live.

I also decided to practice another strategy taught by MMT just to hone my skills. Well, the strategy did not work for this trade, and I lost it (paper, mind you).

I played another calendared MMT trade, only I traded it live. I won 3.5 points and then made a poor choice and lost 2.0. So I was up today 1.5 points live.

Have a great day.

Tuesday, September 28th

2010-09-30T08:12:00.000-06:00

I'm sorry for not posting this earlier. I had a trade on Tuesday, September 28th and I just neglected to getting it posted.

As you can see, I got filled short on negative news and quickly made $500 (using just $2000 in the market). That's a quick 25% return on my money in just seconds. This was a textbook trade for me.

I didn't have any trades on Wednesday the 29th.

I'll post the Thursday's trades in a separate post.

Cheers. :)

Losing Day For Me

2010-09-24T10:42:00.000-06:00

You can click on the images to see them larger.

My first trade was a loser. My second one, I had a profit target set too high, and ended up just getting one tic overall.

Looking for a better trading week next week. Have a great weekend.

Loss then win. Up one tic for the day.

2010-09-23T08:25:00.000-06:00

This morning's early trade, I got into a trade "backwards". Just as the news came out, the market jumped up and got me into a long position and then the news came in negative. It hit my stop loss, and I was out.

My second trade, I got in long and made 2.25 points so I was up for the day.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Kevin

Housing Starts / Building Permits / FOMC

2010-09-21T12:46:00.000-06:00

Today's trades went only moderately, as I finally broke even for the day. It should be said that I had three winning trades and one losing trade. But the losing trade was 2.0 points of loss.

The first trade slipped past me, unfortunately, so I jumped in later and only got one tic.

I traded the FOMC announcement too early, and ended up getting a big loss. Then made it up overall after two more trades.

I will not be trading tomorrow, so we'll see you back here on Thursday. :)

From Last Week - Thursday & Friday

2010-09-21T12:43:00.000-06:00

Sorry I haven't been back here for awhile. I was away in China for a couple of weeks, and just never got around to posting these trades from last week until now. Thursday I lost my trades based on a technical issue that I finally figured out AFTER I lost $600. :(

Friday I had a winning day.

I will post today's trades separately.

Two Trades, Two Wins

2010-09-03T08:35:00.000-06:00

Well, this rounds off a decent week for me. I switched brokers and managed to pull profits at the same time!

Yesterday was my only loss for the week. My weekly stats are:

I won 7 of 8 trades, and I was up 12.5 points or 125% on the money I was trading.

Here are the two trades from today.

Have a great weekend!

September 2, 2010 - Late Post

2010-09-03T07:25:00.000-06:00

I completely spaced posting my two trades from yesterday. Yesterday was my first day live with Infinity, so I was extremely anxious about it.

My first trade I lost, and it was because I had forgotten to check a little box. Technical stuff.

I won my second trade, but barely. I had my profit target set too high and it simply didn't hit it. It reversed and hit my "advanced" stop loss (which was moved up to secure my entry and guarantee a win).

I will post my Friday trades in a separate post.

K

Two Trades, Up 4.75 point today SIM

2010-09-01T20:26:00.000-06:00

Two Trades, up 6.25 points SIM

2010-08-31T10:45:00.000-06:00

I closed my account with Global Futures on Friday and they wire transferred the funds to my new broker - Infinity Futures. But Infinity hasn't received and posted them yet...

So I sim traded today. However, I'm quite sure I would have gotten the same results from trading live, based on the way I entered both times this morning.

Another GREAT day trading for me.

See you back tomorrow.

One Trade, One Tic

2010-08-26T06:57:00.000-06:00

I traded the news announcement today and was able to get one tic of profit.

I guess you could call that a one-tic wonder. I got one tic, and I wonder how it all moved so fast.

Hope you guys have a great weekend. Don't freak out if you don't see me post anything tomorrow. I am headed out to Moran, Wyoming for a weekend getaway with my family and I may not trade tomorrow's announcements.

Have a great weekend!

Up 6.25 Points - That's 62.5% On My Money!

2010-08-25T15:04:00.000-06:00

Today there were two announcements that were worth trading. I watched the market very carefully and was able to jump in at the precise moment to capture a whopping 3.25 points on the first announcement.

Then, later the same morning, I traded again and got another 3.0 points. I am trading with six contracts ($3000) and my trades were so short, I was in and out in just seconds.

If you have ANY questions about my methods or how you can do the same thing, please don't hesitate to let me know!

And this is why I LOVE Market Mover Trading.

See you again soon.

MMT is giving away iPads to Market Mover Traders

2010-08-13T13:34:00.001-06:00

Market Mover Trading loves the beauty and ease of use of iPads, so you know what they're doing? They're giving away iPads to some lucky MMT traders. Here's how (and why):

MMT has created a brand new presentation made specifically for the iPad, using Keynote - a presentation program similar to PowerPoint. This presentation is very attractive and works with you as you present Market Mover trading to potential traders.

Do you want one? Well, the iPad is a great product and is well worth the money if you were to buy one from the store. But you don't have to buy one! Here's the scoop on the August iPad Giveaway:

All you need to do is share MMT with a friend!

For currently enrolled Market Mover Traders, your first personally enrolled Student or Independent Trader in the month of August, you will have one "ticket" put into a drawing for a brand new iPad. Enroll a second Student or Independent Trader and you will get TWO MORE entries (total of three). Enroll a third, and you get three more (total of six). Enroll your fourth personally sponsored Student or Trader in August and get four more entries (ten total).

But... Here's the cool part... Enroll your fifth personally sponsored Student or Independent Trader and you get an iPad with the presentation and other videos already installed. No drawing necessary. Anyone who enrolls five Students or IT's in August will recieve a brand new iPad.

So, reach out to those around you and encourage them to get started with MMT, and a brand new iPad may be yours come early September!

Other rules and regulations may apply. Please contact support@marketmovertrading.com for complete details. Void where prohibited.

Friday The Thirteenth??? - Hummmm

2010-08-13T13:20:00.001-06:00

I made four trades today and lost three of them because of a new "strategy" that I was testing. Obviously it didn't work so well. Anyway, have a look at my two screenshots.

Let me know if you have any questions about these trades.

Have a great weekend! See you back next week.

Kevin

A Great Day of Trading - Two Trades - Up Almost $1000!

2010-08-10T12:48:00.000-06:00

I hope that today, along with the several past weeks proves to you how GREAT MMT style trading can be. This trade I was in for three seconds! Total trade time today was 12 seconds (two trades) and I'm up nearly $1000! The per hour rate for that would be almost $300,000 per hour!!! ($83.20 per second X 60 seconds X 60 minutes). Now, when was the last time you made $300,000 per hour? :)

Have a great day!

Quick Win, then No Trade

2010-08-10T09:53:00.000-06:00

This was a nice quick trade. I was in and out in 9 seconds.

Several Days Trades - Sorry for the delay!

2010-08-10T07:26:00.000-06:00

This post is going to contain A LOT of screenshots of my trades from last week. I was SUPER busy last week. We had Youth Conference for the youth in our church Thursday - Saturday, and the week seemed to just get away from me. So, I apologize. I will also post my trades from today, but in a seperate post.

Thanks for your patience.

Overall I had a GREAT week trading. I made 9 trades. I lost 2 trades, won 7. For the week I was up a net total of 7.75 points. I have been trading 6 contracts - which is $3000 with my broker. So overall I gained an additional $2325.00 (before commissions). Commissions cost me about $250.00, so my gross was right around $2100.00. Not bad for a few minutes of work each morning.

Anyway, on to the screenshots.

Nice Win and then Loss :(

2010-08-02T15:29:00.000-06:00

I ended up giving away the majority of my winnings. But at least I was still positive for the day, even after commissions.

Back again tomorrow.

Four Wins and a Loss

2010-07-30T10:44:00.001-06:00

And the loss I'm talking about isn't the loss of sleep from our new baby. She's a beauty.

Anyway, I had four wins today and rounded it off with a loss. I was still up 2.25 points today though and up 6.5 points total this week. I'm currently trading with $3000. My 6.5 point gains grossed me $1950 this week.

Here are some quick snapshots of todays two announcement trades. I missed an earlier trade due to turning off my alarm and falling sound asleep again. Oops.

Two Winning Trades and a Baby!

2010-07-29T13:26:00.000-06:00

Could you ask for more?

I was awakened this morning to the telephone ringing at 4:30 AM. I couldn't imagine what was going on. The phone is on Joy's side of the bed (her request) and I couldn't figure out why she wasn't answering it - until I looked over and saw that she wasn't in bed.

I stumbled out to the kitchen area and found here there on the phone with her sister who lives in NYC. She was in labor and couldn't sleep.

Ultimately things progressed, and our midwife was here by about 6:30 AM - just in time for the Unemployment trade. I sat down, made the trades and then went back to my duties as a husband and birthing coach.

Little Sarah Ruth Bouck was born at 10:39 AM and is healthy, happy, and a beautiful little girl. Both mom and baby are doing really well.

If you were wondering, and if you thought we were weird before this, now you know we are unusual folks. Yes, we had our baby at home. This was our fifth child and our first home birth. It was so amazing. So normal. So natural. We're all of a sudden HUGE advocates of home births

Up Nearly $600 in just a few minutes!

2010-07-28T12:14:00.000-06:00

I can honestly say that I think it has been way too long since I have really posted much narrative on my daily posts. It has been a crazy summer and it seems like I end up running from one thing to another.

Just because a lot of you are asking, and because I have this forum to tell you - Joy is still 9 months pregnant. At some point, she hopes the pregnancy will end, but for now, I'm content with being able to sleep all night through without a crying baby. I'm just sayin'.

Anyway, we are looking at having a baby one of these days. I'll keep you posted.

Today was an AWESOME, and, might I say, classic day trading with MMT. This beautiful movement allowed me to quickly pull 2.0 points on the S&P e-mini.

Anyway, if you're not involved with MMT I would encourage you to take a look at the rest of my blog and then jump online this Thursday (tomorrow) night at 7:00 PM to watch/listen to an introductory presentation hosted by Market Mover Trading. Here's the link to register: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/535205802. You can actually register now and it will send you an email reminder for the meeting which happens at 7:00 pm.

See you back here tomorrow.

Nice Contrarian Win

2010-07-27T10:39:00.000-06:00

I was happy with a 1.0 point win on this trade, even though there was much more to be had. I was in and out in less than 40 seconds.

I do love the MMT trading style because it allows me to make hundreds of dollars in just a few seconds nearly every day - literally!

I urge you to do your due diligence in determining if MMT is right for you. Then go ahead and you will see what an amazing product MMT is.

One of the newest features that MMT has provided is their Stat Tracker. It is an amazing trade journaling tool that is unsurpassed in the industry. It allows you to enter all your trade statistics and then generate reports to help you see what you're good at and where you can improve.

And guess what, the cool thing is that it's all free.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Kevin

Late to the Trade

2010-07-26T13:16:00.001-06:00

Hello Everyone,

I got up this morning and Joy and I went walking. She's due within the next week - and really wants this baby to come tomorrow (July 27th) even though her actual due date is August 3rd. Anyway, we were a little long and I got home with 7 minutes to spare before the trade came out.

I rushed to get my computer set up and going - but missed the initial movement. Unfortunately this could have been a great trade, but I missed it.

Congratulations to those of you who won the big bucks!

See you back here tomorrow.

Loss Then Win

Losing Trade

2010-07-20T11:48:00.000-06:00

The sharp movement along with high volume about 25 minutes before I made my trade may have been the kicker. I got in to this trade backwards (as you can see) at the bottom of the movement, and then it hit my stop loss. Not a glamorous trade, by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm committed to showing good and bad trades - all my trades are posted here.

Hope everyone's doing well. I won't be posting tomorrow because I do not trade the Crude Oil announcements. See you back here on Thursday.

Three Trades. Loss - Win - Win

2010-07-16T10:43:00.000-06:00

Today was another MMT Tools Trading day.

I ended up losing the first trade, and then winning the next two. I ended up being down about $75 plus commissions - bringing me to -$152.40 live.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Five Total Trades Today

2010-07-15T10:47:00.000-06:00

As you know, I am currently Simulation trading on another broker's software - Infinity AT Trader.

My first trade I traded paper on the AT Trader. I lost the first two trades and won the third trade:

Then the second and third trades I traded live on my Global Futures trading platform - GS Trader:

On these last two trades, I used the MMT Tools - an automatic trading tool that allows you to set up the trade and even walk away from the computer if you want. Both trades took just a few seconds and I was in and out with no problems. So I was down something like 3.25 points on paper (at 6:30 this morning) and up 2.5 points live on the second two trades.

I hope you are all enjoying these trades and that you're seeing how beneficial MMT can be to making real money in the markets. All in just a few minutes per day.

All the best,

Kevin

Another Win Late Today

2010-07-14T12:14:00.000-06:00

This makes for a grand total of 1.75 points today. Nothing to brag about, really, but not too shabby either.

Have a great day!

Second Day with Infinity

2010-07-14T10:49:00.000-06:00

Up 0.50 points. Not a huge winner, but a win is better than a loss.

Again, a small win, but a win nontheless.

Have a great day!

Sorry for the Late Post!

2010-07-13T22:22:00.000-06:00

$450 in 45 Seconds!

2010-07-08T06:54:00.000-06:00

This morning was almost like an instant repeat of Tuesday's trade.

With this trade I was in and out in 45 seconds. And then on with my day.

I'm going camping again today, people. I'll be up at Bear Lake on a Family Reunion.

See you back next week.

Nothing Like MMT Strategies! MMT Tools Rocked Today!

2010-07-06T08:33:00.000-06:00

Without even being at my computer, this trade ran itself and I was in and out in five seconds. Thanks MMT for providing the MMT Tools to allow me to trade even when I'm away from my computer!

Five seconds! Five seconds, people!

Happy birthday to my wife Joy! :) 32 today!

Loser Winner

2010-06-24T08:22:00.000-06:00

You might be wondering how I can lose and win a trade all within three seconds, right? Well, suffice it to say that the movement was so "whippy" that I got in one direction, got stopped out, and got in the other direction and won - all in three seconds. Overall I ended up losing 0.5 points today - or 5% of the $3000 I was trading.

It's not a slight thing when we talk about the philosophy of trading. Let's say you have a losing trade - (and, by the way, I'm mostly writing this for myself. I am preaching to myself, basically. Feel free to tune in or tune out). Anyway, you have a losing trade. The next time you sit down to trade, you have another losing trade. What happens to your mental state. Well, in my case, anxiety begins to build. You chalk it up to misnomers or some basic error. But, in fact, the anxiety still remains.

When I don't commit myself to the constant "brushing up" or study of trading provided by MMT, I find that I am on a bit of a slippery slope. The market is ever-changing. We were talking about this in an introduction to MMT meeting we held last night. The ongoing education provided by MMT is so vital. If I'm not watching the daily trade recaps, if I'm not attending class, if I'm not studying the basic lessons or reviewing the older classes - what is going to happen? I'm setting myself up to failure.

After my trade this morning, I went walking with my wife who is 8 months pregnant. Amazing that she is the one motivating me to get going (physically). She is a great woman. I'm sorry that none of you have a wife as amazaing as she is. :) She's out weeding the garden right now, by the way. Anyway... while we were walking and talking I came to the realization that I have been neglecting my studies. So I'm committing now to focus more on my studies and understand movement better. There are those of you who are winning much more consistently than I am lately. And, I believe that it has everything to do with confidence in my own abilities to execute a trade properly.

I need to get to the place where, going in to the trade, I am once again confident in the orders that I am placing. Where hindsight becomes more of a reality and I can see the movement happen before it actually does. And, believe it or not - it can happen. I've been there before. I'll be there again.

Of that I'm sure.

See you back here again!

Big Movement - No Trade for Me

2010-06-23T08:37:00.000-06:00

I'm sure you're all really disappointed in me, right? This was a beautiful trade. I should have easily been able to take some profits. Instead, I felt like I couldn't read the indicators, so I stayed out.

This massive movement - about 11 points total - was the result of the WORST numbers on New Home Sales in months and months.

I plan to trade the FOMC Rate Announcement - but on paper - as this trade has elluded me in the past.

Good luck!

K

I'm Back Again...

2010-06-22T08:26:00.000-06:00

As I mentioned before, I knew that June would be hairy scary. I have so many youth camps and other activities that I'm involved in, that I'm not able to trade every day.

Today I missed the 8:00 trade because of a website malfunction. Kinda like a wardrobe malfunction, I guess. The news server site that I use to get my news FAST shut down, so I had to restart it. By the time I got it back open and going, I had missed the initial trade.

That's okay though. There are plenty of trades in the coming days, and I should be around for most of them. Tomorrow is Fed Day - the day that the FOMC announces a change to the Federal Funds Rate. Or not. But, if they do, woweee!

See you back tomorrow.

A GREAT Way to Start The Day...

2010-06-16T08:38:00.000-06:00

Everybody loves winning. I don't mean just trading, I mean ANYTHING. Win a stuffed toy from one of those dorky machines at K Mart and you think you're an ace. Win a free soda at your favorite burger joint and you feel like you skinned a fat one.

Well, winning in trading it that much more fun!

Today I made two trades. One that lasted for under a minute - and won $400 (before commissions). Then about 45 minutes later I made another trade. This one took about three or four minutes, and I won another $200 (before commissions).

Take a look:

This is good stuff, Maynard.

P.S. I have been extremely busy this month with Scout Camps, Young Women's Camps, High Adventure Camps, Missionary Camps, and I'm even going camping with my wife and kids later this month. My point - If I don't post here, it's not because I'm just not sharing. I'm not trading. I knew going in to June that I would not be able to trade much. So please don't get all worried that I've fallen off a cliff (well, I may have - JK). I'll be back and posting more regularly in the coming weeks.

I hope you all have a great day! I may come back on here and post some pics from my recent trip to Zions with the Young Men in my ward. It was awesome! We hiked the Subway and Angel's Landing. What a great trip!

See you later!

I'm Back!!!

2010-06-15T07:52:00.000-06:00

Well, I'm sure most of you probably figured I died and went to heaven, right?

Not true.

I'm still here. I did go to heaven though. Well, sort of. Last week we had a few days of low impact trades, which I opted not to trade. Then I left Thursday for Zion National Park with some young men from my neighborhood for a High Adventure excursion.

We got up early Friday morning and hiked the popular "Subway" hike. It was a 10 mile hike, mainly upstream. At the end we swam some C-O-L-D pools and entered the "Waterfall Room". It was AWESOME.

Then Saturday we hiked "Angel's Landing". What a thrill. We picked our way all the way to the peak. It was an amazing sight.

So...

Yes, I am still here. Still loving my MMT life. The freedom that this style of trading gives me is unparalelled. It gives me the opportunity to be around my family more, and I am so grateful for that. I feel like my kids know who I am - and they're interested in me! Before, I was just "gone" all the time.

Today we had two trade opportunities. I got to my computer to find that my internet was down. This is so frustrating, but I just had to let the two trades slip by. Obviously my internet is up now - so I'm looking forward to some good trades tomorrow.

Until then!

K

WOW! 20 Point Drop!

2010-06-04T06:52:00.000-06:00

What an amazing drop!!! 20 point drop on the S&P E-Mini! That's massive.

Unfortunately for me, the trade slipped past me and I didn't even get to trade it. Oh well, we'll live to see another day like today, I'm sure.

Everyone have a great weekend.

Trade Off Today

2010-06-03T06:46:00.000-06:00

I lost two trades today, but was only trading one contract. Today is the LIVE Trade Off in Salt Lake City. I'm currently sitting in a room with probably about 100 people, trading live.

As most of you know, this flies in the face of some of my personal rules - never trade live in front of anyone, and never trade if you're not ready. I was racing around trying to get set up and getting other things in place, and wasn't concentrating on the trades like I should have been.

Regardless, these two trades are over, and the next isn't for an hour plus - which I may not trade.

I'm looking forward to a fun day together with a ton of MMT Traders.

Wish you were here! :)

K

Muted Movement

2010-06-02T08:23:00.000-06:00

Unfortunately this trade did not go the way I expected it to. I ended up getting stopped out at a 1.75 point loss.

Oh well. Looking forward to more trades tomorrow at the Trade Off - Market Mover Trading's "Bright Futures" Success Summit in Salt Lake City.

See you then!

Today's One Point

2010-06-01T08:28:00.000-06:00

This trade had a lot more than one point in it. But I was happy to get one point - 10% on my money - and be done.

One point a day over five days equals 50% return on your money! You can't beat that ANYWHERE.

Have a great day.

Two Trades - A Win and A Loss

2010-05-28T08:10:00.000-06:00

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Nice N Easy

2010-05-27T06:57:00.000-06:00

Wasn't that fun! I was in an out of this trade in just three seconds. I could have gone for more points, but I was being conservative and enjoyed making over $230 net (after commissions) in three seconds.

I hope you are all doing well!

See you back here for tomorrow's trades!

Traded Crude - Paper

2010-05-26T08:37:00.002-06:00

Two Breakevens In One Day

2010-05-26T08:23:00.000-06:00

Actually on this one, I lost a tic (0.25) on three of my four contracts because of how I got in to the trade.

And this one I got slipped on entry 0.75 points and so I ended up managing my way out at breakeven (minus commissions).

Looking forward to a good trade tomorrow. But for now, I'm off to accompany my 2nd grader on her field trip today! Yay! A school bus load of screaming 2nd graders! :)

K

No Win - No Loss

2010-05-25T08:57:00.000-06:00

Today I set up a specific order that was designed to limit the slippage of price so that, in the event of FAST movement, I would not get filled unless it was at the price I designated.

As a result of the news I was trading, price moved right past me and didn't get me in to a trade.

But, as we've learned before, it's much better to have price move past you and not get into a trade, only to have it turn and go against you after you "finally" got in. Even though I'm sad that I didn't get in, at least I didn't lose either.

There was a beautiful second trade opportunity just a few minutes later that missed me by one tic.

Oh well.

Today I used a tool that was designed by Market Mover Trading that helps to execute trades with precision. It worked beautifully and would have been "money" had the trade not slipped past me. Thanks MMT for providing a functional, easy to use tool that works like a charm!

Now on to a FULL day of "work".

Have a great day.

Easy Breezy Beautiful

2010-05-24T08:56:00.000-06:00

This trade was a little perplexing at first. With the market moving up and then down and then back up...

But, I got in to a trade quickly and out just 5 seconds later.

No better way to make a couple hundred bucks before breakfast!

Have a great day.

Don't Be Too Disappointed In Me!

2010-05-20T06:59:00.000-06:00

I know, I know. I should have easily won, right? Well, actually I did win. I was set up perfectly, made my first trade and won in 4 seconds! Wow!

Then I made a dumb "extra" trade and it just kept on going down. It hit my stop loss on my second trade before I knew it, so instead of being up, I was down!!! AARGH!

Then I made a third trade which got me back up to breakeven. The -$51.60 was my commissions on the three trades. :(

Oh well. It actually was pretty fun to see the market move like that. Take a close look at the thin green lines. Those are called "Prediction Lines" that we get from MMT about 30 minutes before the trade. Look how price bounced (relatively) off the 1086.50 line and went up from there. Instead of thinking I was "all that" and made that losing trade, I should have waited for price to hit that line and then played off that line.

Live and learn.

Have a great day.

P.S. I have another trade opportunity today, but I won't be trading it because of a prior "engagement" if you will, so I'm done trading for the week!

When In Doubt - Stay Out

2010-05-19T07:00:00.000-06:00

I guess in reality, I wasn't really "in doubt". I simply didn't place my orders in the right places to get filled the way I should have. So I didn't get in to the trade.

But I thought that that should also be one of my rules - "When in doubt, stay out." If you cannot see a clear-cut trade, don't jump in hoping for a win. Now, this may not apply to new traders. In fact, it absolutely doesn't apply there. But, if you have learned the strategies, and you are playing with real money - and you are unsure of either the market or yourself, you should simply stay out.

I hope that helps. I've gotta run.

K

Quick, Little Win

2010-05-18T07:50:00.000-06:00

The market moves right when I know it will. As a result, I'm ready to get in an dmake some profits. I hit my profit target in just under a minute or two, and I'm done trading for the day.

That is what I've learned from Market Mover Trading.

Hope you are all doing well.

(P.S. If you didn't read my post from yesterday, I strongly suggest it.)

Dumb Mistake - Secrets to Success

2010-05-17T09:25:00.000-06:00

Today I simply made a very dumb mistake that lead to my demise on my trade for today. Instead of placing a buy order, I placed a sell order and got in to the trade in the wrong direction. Oh well. I think I have learned my lesson. At least I had my stop loss in place, which kept me from losing much more.

I meet with people over and over again regarding Market Mover Trading. In each meeting we discuss the likelihood of success using the MMT program (information and eduation they provide). Without fail, every time the question arises about the propensity to lose a lot of money if the trades go wrong. Without hesitation I recommend these particular anticdotes:

1. Prepare. You will never be successful if you do not practice and prepare for your trades. Simulation accounts are so very important. They allow you to play along with the market in real time, and place and win or lose trades without putting your hard earned money at risk. You should also prepare by watching the Trade Recaps, Instructional Videos, and Live Trade Videos. You should also be attending Live or Archived Class every week. Without this preparation, you will undoubtedly find yourself making blunders and mistakes that will lead to your demise.

2. Set Goals. Determine what it is that you want to do with your new love for trading. Is it recreational? Is it the opportunity to earn much-needed cash? Is it simply a way to expand your knowledge? What are the primary and secondary goals that would would like to attain? What are you shooting for? Remember, setting goals includes WRITING THEM DOWN! A goal is not set until pen meets paper and the objective is spelled out in writing. Otherwise it is simply a wish. And, as the saying goes, "If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets."

3. Rules. Making, notating, and keeping rules is a very essential part of trading. If you are rules oriented, which means you have made rules and imported them into the way that you trade, then you will be more likely to be successful in your trading adventures. Rules help us avoid danger. Consider driving without rules. The results would be catastrophic. However, even with "rules" people still get in accidents. Bad things can happen. However, if we do follow the rules, we are more likely to be kept safe. Here is a quick example of some of my rules:

Never trade outside the scope of MMT
Trade only MCM trades
Cancel orders if they are not filled within one minute
Never trade after 8-10 minutes
Never trade more than 25-33% of my trading account balance
Never cancel my stop loss
Don't get greedy and extend my profit target
Never chase after a trade

The list goes on and on. These rules help me be a MUCH more effective trader.

4. Be Conservative. I have several "favorite" sayings that go along with being conservative. Many of you have probalby heard me say these before:

Hogs get slaughtered.
Don't ever make the market work harder than it's going to work.
The market doesn't care about you. What you want doesn't matter.
If you want more money out, put more money in.

5. Discipline. Exercising discipline in all things - not just trading - can be a complex, yet extremely valuable tool in the toolbelt of life. Discipline creates men out of boys and success out of mediocrity.

Discipline is the "capstone" of all the items above. It is the one thing that takes preparation, goals, rules, and being conservative, and puts it to the task. As you grow and develop as a trader, understanding and exercising discipline will be the hallmark to your success.

I hope this post today wasn't too preachy. I hope it helps someone. I has already helped me!

All the best to you today!

One Trade - One Fantastic Win!

Breakeven - Sort Of

2010-05-13T07:09:00.000-06:00

Thursday, May 13, 2010

Hello everyone!

Today's trade was shaping up to be a nice one, yet I missed my profit target by ONE TICK!

Oh well. All I ended up losing was my commissions.

Just when I broke even on my trade, I received a "Unexpected Error" message and my whole computer shut down and restarted. I have no idea why. I wasn't in an active trade, so I wasn't too concerned. It just kept me from being able to place any more follow-up trades.

A quick shout out to my good friend Jared Hedberg who traded live today for the first time and won! Congrats Jared!

I will be in Logan, Utah (12:00 Noon) and Idaho Falls (7:00 PM) today introducing MMT to the masses. Hope to see you there!

Kevin

Wednesday, May 12, 2010

2010-05-12T07:12:00.000-06:00

Today's trade was one I could have just slept through. However I decided to get up and try out another strategy that I have been working on lately. What do you know, IT WORKED! That's two days in a row, and I am thrilled.

Sure, it's not a million dollars. I know. but it was a win and money in my pocket that I wouldn't have had otherwise. So for that I am happy.

You know, yesterday I was slammed meeting with people and sharing MMT as well as doing some training to some friends and neighbors. It was a great day - full of success - but at 11:30, when I finally hit the hay, I was exhausted.

MMT has become a real blessing in my life! I love meeting with people in so many random places and sharing what I have found for myself. Lucky for me this opportunity found me (thanks Jason Anderson!). I now enjoy a freedom that I have not known before. I love associating myself with all of you as well.

Tomorrow we have one early trade and then I am off to Logan to meet and train, and then to Idaho Falls tomorrow night! Hope to see you all there!

Have a great day.

Oops! Yesterday's Trade

2010-05-12T07:06:00.000-06:00

This trade happened on Tuesday, May 11th. I was busy with a million things yesterday, and didn't get around to posting this trade. Sorry guys. :)

I was in and out of my trade in just 25 seconds and won (after commissions) $365.60. Not bad for a low impact trade.

Hope you're all doing well.

Crazy Trading Day

2010-05-07T07:08:00.000-06:00

May 7, 2010

What an absolutely crazy trading week this has been. Yesterday's market movement was unprecidented and absolutely unbelievable! A once (or twice) in a lifetime event.

Today I had a great trade opportunity shaping up, but then the news came across that Germany had approved funding for Greece, and the markets swung up - further confusing my trade and causing me some angst. So I simply didn't get in to a trade. It was too difficult to understand.

And that's where things stand for today. No trade. Which means no loss. But it also means no win. Darn!

I met with a bunch of prospective traders last night up in Logan Utah. It was fun to meet with them. It seems that the people who are attracted to MMT are getting smarter and are more committed than ever to finding a real, plausable investment opportunity that can impact their finances in such a positive way.

The meetings usually start out with a lot of people being very sceptical, and by the end they're all smiling and standing around chatting about the possiblities and the opportunity and shaking my hand and thanking me for being there. It is so fun to see the light come on in their minds and then to see their reactions to it.

That's not to say that it is "easy street" from there on out. There is definately a learning process to this. Anything worthwhile will have a learning curve that you MUST work through. I win a lot of my trade. That said, I lose some too. I share all this information with everyone so that it keeps me honest and shows you the truth.

I hope you all have a great spring weekend (hopefully the snow and frost will retreat and we can have a little warmth).

All the best!

Kevin

Teeny Tiny Win

2010-05-06T07:03:00.000-06:00

I know, I know. You're unimpressed. However, the markets have been really interesting lately with the whole of Europe falling like dominoes.

I was happy for a quick and easy win, but saw opportunities for much better trades, which I could have done.

But regardless, I am done trading before 7:00 AM and now on with the rest of my day.

A Winner!

2010-05-05T20:33:00.000-06:00

Sorry guys! I totally forgot to post this trade earlier today.

Here was my quick trade for today. In and out in 75 seconds.

Headline: Home Sales Up! Market Down!

2010-05-04T08:31:00.000-06:00

I can read the news headlines now. While the economy struggles to recover and move in a positive direction, it waits for GREAT news, like Home Sales going up. However, it appears that the market has other things on its "mind".

Today, the market opened and dropped like a rock. Then we had some economic news announcements that were amazingly good, and the market dropped again. Go figure.

So, I lost today's trade. But, I am determined to study a little more and get ready for another trading day tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Back from China!

2010-05-03T09:28:00.000-06:00

I returned home from my 11 day trip to China and was anxious to get back in the swing of things this morining. I made just one trade today and only got a half point, but was happy to get in and get trading again.

This trade was a pretty simple one, and not too complicated. I'm convinced that any sane person can do this and do it well. I hear so many success stories from people who never thought it would be possible for them to begin trading and taking control of their own financial destiny. Now they are making thousands of dollars a month before they head off to work in the morning. What a great way to add income and be successful!

Hope you have a great spring day!

Ni Hao! Greetings from Hong Kong

2010-04-27T08:51:00.000-06:00

And, Yes! Trading works from over here.

I traded the Consumer Confidence announcement and it worked like a charm. Only difference was that it's late in the evening instead of early in the morning.

Here is a quick snapshot of my P&L.

I ended up catching 1.5 points in just a matter of about two minutes. It was a smooth trade that worked out perfectly.

See, anyone can do this. Even world travellers!

Until next time - have fun trading!

Nice & Easy

2010-04-19T09:22:00.000-06:00

No, I'm not talking about the women's shampoo or whatever it is.

I'm talking about today's trade.

It was a walk in the park. A piece of cake. No biggie. I got in, and about a minute and a half later, bit my profit target and was out. Up $577.00 after commissions.

I got in, hit my target, and was out. So great! I love this trading style.

I'm headed for China on Wednesday morning, so I most likely won't be trading the rest of this week. Who knows, I may get a trade in while I am in Asia. If I don't, please don't dispair. I will be back on May 3rd. :)

All the best!

Kevin

Losing Trade

2010-04-15T08:49:00.000-06:00

I hate posting bad results, but I promised to post everything here. Anyone who tells you they win all their trades is generally not being truthful, and here's the proof.

I traded this morning, and made some errors in judgement and ended up losing 4.0 points. At one point (one point only) I was positive and quite happy with the movement, but then it retracted against me and I ended up letting it go way against me. Not ideal, and I wouldn't recommend it.

Anyway, I'm done with today and happy to move on.

Kevin Bouck Wins! Story Developing!

2010-04-14T08:59:00.000-06:00

I am extatic today. After a lot of "no trades" and a loss last week, I was very anxious to get trading today. Today's trades were looking like a great way to get going.

First trade:

Second trade: (remember, the P&L is cumulative for the day)

So, let's be honest. I didn't have a lot of confidence going into my trades today. I was anxious. All because of a loss last week along with several days of not much happening (no trades). I was starting to worry that I was losing my edge. :0

My wife gets up every morning at 6:00 now to go walking with a neighbor. I used to sleep until 6:15 so that I wouldn't get to my computer early and fidget around and start doing things I shouldn't. Well, when her alarm goes off, guess what? I wake up. And when I'm anxious about a trade, the last thing I'm going to be able to do is go back to sleep.

So I force myself to stay out of the office until 6:15. I go to the toilet, get a drink of water, look outside and survey the weather. I even sometimes make the bed. All before 6:15.

At 6:15 then I can get into my "groove" and get ready for whatever trade opportunities I have coming up.

Today I made my trades as I should have. I was in my trades right away and the fundamentals looked good. One took some time to hit my profit target. The other was pretty textbook.

And now, I'm off like a dirty shirt to help the masses that are coming in to MMT as students in droves. It has been an amazing spring, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE what I do.

Those of you who are still thinking about joining MMT, would you please contact me this week? I would love to hear what is holding you back or what concerns you may have. A word of caution - there is a lot of crap starting to surface on the faceless, nameless web. People who post negative stuff there often have ulterior motives and are posting information that is false. I recommend actually talking to someone who will respond. Me! :) Give me a chance to talk to you about the REAL MMT and the REAL founders - Sean and Jason. I've known them both for years and am proud to call the true friends and mentors. They really do have your best interests at heart. They are not out to scam anyone. Trust me. I know they lose some sleep over the negative comments that surface online, because it's a reflection on them. And I know they hate it. But there's absolutely nothing they can do, but place rebuttals and move on.

I, for one, am a forward looking person anyway. Our family motto is "Keep Moving Forward", which is a great thought to end the day. Be good!

Two Low Impact Trades

2010-04-13T08:55:00.000-06:00

Hi! I bet most of you thought I fell off the face of the earth, right? Well, I haven't. I'm still here. Still trading (or attempting to trade) and still MMT all the way!

Last week, I took some time off and took my family to St. George, Utah and basked in the warmth that Utah's Dixie provides us winter-faring nor-people. In fact, this morning, I woke up to about three inches of snow! That's not supposed to happen, right? :(

But St. George was nice. Warm, sunny, everything it was supposed to be.

Last week was a very light trading week. Not just for me, but for all who trade in the Market Mover Trading style. This week promises to be a better week - a lot more going on - but so far it hasn't been that impressive.

Yesterday there were no scheduled trade opportunities. Today there were two. But both had a very low impact on market movement. I watched them both, but did not get into a trade. Maybe I'm a little chicken! :o

By the way, I was talking to a new friend of mine yesterday. I say a "new" friend, because I would have never met him or his friends were it not for Market Mover Trading. As we talked it was fun to see his entheusiasm for Market Mover Trading and what it can do to help people get ahead. Not only the trading income, but the marketing income as well. People get giddy about this opportunity and I am happy to be a part of something so positive in other people's lives.

So, go out there and make something GREAT happen today!

By the way, many of you are constantly asking for ways to improve or something to read. I highly recommend a book by Mark Douglas - Trading In The Zone. You can get a used copy at http://www.amazon.com/ for around $20.00. Highly worth it, if you ask me.

See ya tomorrow!

No win. No Loss. No big.

April 5, 2010

There was a trading opportunity today, but I simply didn't get into a trade. I was looking for some nice movement to happen at 8:00, but it didn't formulate for me. So I didn't trade.

Sometimes that happens...

Today we're packing up our kids and we're heading for St. George for five days. Wish us luck! :)

No Foolin'!

2010-04-01T09:13:00.000-06:00

April 1, 2010 - April Fool's Day

I wish I was foolin', but I lost my trade today. I got filled long (in a "buy" position) and the market just reacted strangely and I lost the trade (got stopped out - with my stop loss).

These losses are hard to take sometimes, but as I look at my successes with my trades - which happen over and over and over again, I am still miles ahead of where I was, just a few weeks ago.

I post all my trades so that you can see that this is real life. I do not win everything. Today is an example of that. But I do win a LARGE majority of my trades.

Anyway, I hope you have a fun, productive, somewhat foolish day.

All the best - Kevin

Gotta Love That Movement!!!

First Trade:

Second Trade:

Today I was back in the saddle again and I am feelin' good.

These two trades were under one minute each.

I was in, out, and done with my trades.

See you back here tomorrow. Gotta run!!!

Two Trades - Two WINS!

2010-03-26T09:57:00.000-06:00

While I can't show you everything I do here, I can prove by my P&L's that I am winning. And I'm winning rather consistently.

This week I had a total of seven trades. I won all seven. I am up this week 4.75 points - which is equal to 47.5% on my money I'm trading. As you can see, I am now trading 16 contracts which is $8000 total. A 47.5% increase on $8000 grossed me an additional $3800 this week. Now, who of you couldn't use an extra $3800??? :)

I'm off to Idaho Falls, Idaho today to teach a class to MMT Traders at 6:00 SHARP. Then we'll break at 6:45 and then have an MMT Introduction Seminar at 7:00. This is going to be held at the same hotel that we were at last time - the Ameritel Inn & Suites - Spectrum (near the Edwards Theaters/Mall).

Come and make yourselves comfy as I present my view of Market Mover Trading.

See you there!

Kevin

What Moves You?

2010-03-25T08:10:00.000-06:00

March 25, 2010

Really? What moves you? What causes you to get up in the morning, get ready for the day, get out and get your work done, etc.? Often it's something we refer to as "responsibility". You have responsibility for yourself and those that count on you to provide for them. But let me ask this question: What, beyond normal "responsiblity" moves or motivates you? Is it the drive to excell? The desire to have a better life? The opportunity to help others outside your own home?

Regardless of whatever it is, that moving desire or motivation is a very important part of our lives. As we experience success, we feel good about ourselves and our accomplishments. Generally, we are driven to share it so that others can have success too.

And that's what Market Mover Trading is all about. That's why I maintain this blog - to prove to you that MMT really is what it says it is. And that anybody, regardless of whatever situation you may find yourself in, has the potential to make it (and make it big) with the structure, discipline, teachings, and philosophies (not to mention the news, prediction points, trade recaps, etc.) that will help you become an effective MMT Trader in just a few short weeks of first even seeing a trading program.

Today was another prime example. I had a long-time friend of mine seated beside me during my 30 minute trade today. He recently signed up with MMT and is getting a hang of things quite nicely. It was good to go over a lot of the basics of how and why I trade the way I do. And to then let the fundamentals of my trade take over and net me over $700!

Ladies and gentlemen - I give you today's trade. One trade. 30 minutes. Decent profit.

Now, go have a great day!

Three Trades... Three Winners...

2010-03-24T10:25:00.000-06:00

Tuesday, March 24, 2010

Three trades. Three winners. But a little bit stressful, nonetheless. It's unusual that my trades are stressful, because I am usually in and out and done in just a few minutes time. But today's trades took a lot longer and some of the fundamentals were not in place. Regardless, I was happy to get a win and shut down my trading platform for the day at 9:30.

Honestly, I don't know how regular Day Traders do it. Sitting in a home office somewhere getting in and out of trades all day long. It stresses me out. I LOVE Market Mover Trading for that reason (and many others) but I do love the fact that our trades are largely much shorter in time, and specific exact times. So there's no need to sit at a computer screen all day.

Below are two images from my trades today. The first shows my first trade, and the second shows my net P&L from my second and third trades.

Last night WAS fun, however.

It started out quite innocently. I had a couple of new sign-ups that wanted to sit down with me and go over set-ups and go through some strategies too. They asked if others could come too. Because we were going over specific MMT stuff, I told them that it would be fine, but that the people needed to be signed up MMT'ers. Then I emailed out to several other people and before I knew it, I had 20 people in my basement and my laptop hooked up to my big screen television going through all sorts of stuff and answering every question in the book.

Now, I can't speak for everyone there, but I had a blast, and I think we learned some things as well.

Anyway, I'm off to hear my daughter play piano for her class today at school. Here's hoping she doesn't get too nervous like her ol' dad. :)

Winning is Sweet!

2010-03-23T08:59:00.001-06:00

March 23, 2010

Today's trade was much anticipated. And it went fairly well. While I only gained 0.5 points of profit, I still was alble to capture over $300 in profit that I did not have when I woke up this morning. :)

Some of you may remember the "old" me. Most of you probably do not. Let me give you a little run down -

Last year at this time I weighed my all-time high of 217 pounds. Today I weigh 196 pounds and I'm still working on getting that down lower. Last year, I remember getting sick with colds that would lay me out for a week. Today, I can't remember the last cold/flu I had that kept me from my normal day of activities. Last year, I would leave for work at 6:30 AM with my wife and kids still in bed and return from work around 6:00 PM, only to shove food in my face and head off to do my church responsibilities. Today, I get up, trade, eat breakfast with my kids, take them school, and come back and spend some time with Joy and Kate before move on to other things (work-ish).

There are so many facets of my life that have changed, and honestly, at the risk of sounding cheesy, I really owe it, in large part, to the change that Market Mover Trading, and the accompanying lifestyle changes have made. I am healthier, happier, a better dad, a much better husband, and a better citizen (well, at least I think I am - and that's half the battle).

So a big thank you to Jason Anderson and Sean Larsgard and everyone associated with MMT that have impacted me for the better. Here's to you!

And here's to those of you looking in to my life through this blog. MMT has changed my life in all positive ways, and I am quite confident it will do the same for you - if you let it.

Go out and have a great day!

The Biggest Loser

2010-03-18T23:39:00.003-06:00

Thursday, March 18, 2010

Well, more like the "Littlest Loser". I lost my trade today, folks. I hope you're all not too massively disappointed in me. I was disappointed, but it certainly was not a deal breaker. My last losing trade was over 15 days ago.

This trade simply did not have the movement that usually comes with the information that I received. Regardless, because the movement was so minmal (and because I had time) I set my stop loss and my profit target and let it run. Ultimately, though, I decided it was time to get out and I traded out at a 0.5 point loss.

One for the lesson books, I suppose.

Remember, this blog was set up so you could see actual, real, non sugar-coated trading results. I post my winning trades (I'm currently winning around 87% of my trades) as well as my losing trades (around 10% are losers). (BTW, if you're doing the math, the other 3% are breakeven or no-trades). I post everything to give you a real, personal look as to how Market Mover Trading has changed my life and given me something I could never have had before - time!

Before MMT, I was working a full-time, salaried job in the city. I would arise early and jet off to work long before my kids even got out of bed. I would be there all day long, and return home in the late afternoon, shovel some food down my throat and rush of to do my church responsibilities. By the time I got home, my kids were in bed, and the cycle would repeat itself - over, and over, and over again. I was missing the lives of my kids (four + one on the way) and I hardly ever saw my wife.
Now, life is totally different. I generally take my kids to school every day and drop them off. We eat breakfast together and everything. I see my wife much more than before. I am involved in their lives, and am looking forward to being a major part of their upbringing - not just an absentee father.

I love everything about what Market Mover Trading has done for me. And I'm confident that you will too.

For now, have a GREAT weekend!

Kevin

"It's a dud, I guess..."

2010-03-17T07:14:00.000-06:00

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody!

In the animated movie Charlotte's Web (which I watched WAY too many times as a child for reasons I won't try to describe here) - (well, maybe I will)...

My oldest sister and I are great friends. She is nine years older than I am - to the day. Yep. We both had a birthday last Sunday. Anyway, she has Down's Syndrome. She lives with my parents (always has) and is now 46 years old.

She used to LOVE watching movies. She would pick a movie and watch it over and over and over and over and over again - often several times in one day. Her favorites included The Sound of Music, Man From Snowy River, and Charlotte's Web - among others.

Anyway, in the movie, the Goose lays eight eggs. When the eggs all hatch one of them does not hatch. When asked why the eighth egg didn't hatch, the gooose replied, "It's a dud, I guess." The rat then asks, "Whattre ya gunna do with it?", implying that he (the rat) would really like it. The goose replies, "Roll it away and add it to that nasty collection of yours. But be careful! A rotten egg can be a regular stinkbomb."

So with that, today's trade turned out to be a dud. There was so little movement that I couldn't have gotten in to the trade if I wanted to.

This targeted form of trading allows us to arrive at our computers at a specific time, make a trade (or not - based on the perimeters) and then walk away for the day - DONE! No hours and hours of long study, trend/forecast watching. No waiting for opportunities. We get in and take profits and get out.

I had a group of four guys at my home last night who all recently signed up for MMT and we had a great time discussing what to look for when you are preparing for a trade. It was a lot of fun and these guys are all progressing quite nicely, if I do say so myself. So congrats, Andreas, Kevin, Nate and Clark! You're on your way for sure!

No go have a great GREEN day!

Fed Day! Whew!

Second Trade:

This took me WAY too long to post today. Sorry for the delay.

I made two trades and won both and was on with the rest of my BUSY BUSY day.

All the best!

Monday, Monday ... So Good To Me

2010-03-15T07:44:00.001-06:00

Well, not really.

Yesterday was my birthday, by the way. So I was coming off of a major sugar high and thinking I was the king of the world this morning. My wife and kids and neighbors and everybody really spoiled me yesterday, and for that I am grateful.

I was thinking how AWESOME today was going to be with trading because there were several trading opportunities, so I was GEARED UP!!! I was going to trade each one and make just marginal gains on each and be the star of the show.

Now, though, it's on to real life. None of the trading opps turned into anything. Each was a NO TRADE. :(

So as the song continues...

Monday, Monday, can't trust that day

Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be
Oh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me

So Monday trading came and went without me. But, at least I'm not going to be second guessing the whole day - waiting for something to happen. I'm done and on with my day, and it's not even 8:00 AM.

Have a great day everyone! Tomorrow should be G-O-O-D!

Crazy Day! But Good!

2010-03-12T11:41:00.000-07:00

Friday, March 12, 2010

Well, at least it wasn't Friday the 13th, right?!?

The office/den area where I trade is directly above my son's bedroom (which is downstairs). He is almost six years old, and he is, without hesitation, an EARLY riser. When we finished out our downstairs in our home, I was super anal about making sure every wall, every ceiling, every place possible was double insulated. I did not want me moving around lightly upstairs (wait, can a 200 pound man move around lightly???) to wake up the kiddies downstairs.

Guess what, it obviously does no good. And today was no exception. Seconds after I tiptoed into my office, there was Nick, begging to use my iPhone to play some video games before mom got up. Unfortunately, his opening and closing of doors and using the toilet woke up our 18 month old, who then woke up mommy. I had a room full of family before 6:20 AM! Good grief people! Stay in bed!

Today was a great day for trading, regardless of my audience. Actually (just in case my wife reads this) I was THRILLED to have everyone around me. With three different trading opportunities, I was ready to go!

My first trade was over in less than eight seconds. Wow! When is the last time anyone you know has made $800 in eight seconds. Let's see, a normal annual salary, if you were to make $100 per second, would be like $7.5 million a year! But let's get back to reality, people. As it is, I don't make $7.5 million per year (yet), but the opportunity to make that kind of money in just a few minutes of time is astounding.

My second trade spanned about six minutes, but I was again able to pull in another $800.00. For the day, even after commissions, I pulled down nearly $1500.00.

I attribute my continued success to the things I have learned from Market Mover Trading - 110%.

Here's to a great weekend everyone!

See you back next week.

Almost Funny Money

2010-03-11T10:22:00.000-07:00

Thursday, March 11, 2010

Literally! In just under two minutes, I added $600 (before commissions) back into my pocket. This trade was a real cinch and worke out so quickly, that I am completely convinced that ANYONE can do this and do it well. You can't argue with numbers.

Last night, I had a new Market Mover Trading student, Cort, come to my home to have me help him set up his trading DOM and get him ready for simulation/paper trading. For those of you who don't know, when you join MMT, you can also get set up with a simulation (fake) trading account where you can execute trades and win or lose and it doesn't cost you a thing. We recommend all traders, new or experienced, take time to trade with a fake money account before they go "live" trading their own money. Cort is catching on very quickly. I'm impressed.

Then this morning, he dropped by just a few minutes before my trade, and sat with me as I made my trade. We had the chance to talk through it and help him see what I was seeing, in order to help him get a feel for what needs to happen when. In fact, he asked me earlier for a step-by-step list of what I do to get set up for a trade. My preparation for a trade begins the night before the trade. Then I get up, make the trade, and I'm done for the day.

Today, I shut down my computer just 10 minutes later and went and got ready for the day. That's the style. That's the way to trade. Take the opportunity to make some good money in a very short amount of time, and you're done!

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll be posting again tomorrow. See ya!

Kevin

Getting bored. You?

2010-03-10T09:17:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

I can't believe it's already March 10th. Time seems to move by so quickly. This Sunday is the beginning of Daylight Saving Time - which means that Summer is just around the corner . Weird.

Today, however, it's freezing outside. I just ran the kids to school and the thermometer in my truck said 35 degrees. Burrr. Well, soon, I'll probably be complaining about the heat. :)

Today I did not make any trades. I actively watched the Crude Oil market and, what do you know? It shot up like a rocket right when MMT said it would. Next week I plan to trade it live! :)

Tomorrow I will be trading FOR SURE. I knew (last week) that I likely wouldn't have any substantive trades until Thursday this week - so, while I miss trading and making some good money in a short amount of time, I am still happy with my successes with Market Mover Trading.

Last night was a REAL fun one. A friend and new neighbor of mine asked me to come to their home to talk about MMT to their good friends. I connected immediately with these guys. They were a lot of fun. We enjoyed a nice time (which turned into THREE HOURS!) and they were pretty excited about Market Mover Trading.

So here's to their upcoming success!

Good luck today in all you do. Its my Lucy's birthday today so we're fixing for a princess-y good time!

No news is good news, right? Right!

2010-03-09T13:44:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, March 9, 2010

If no news is good news, then today is a "good news" day. :)

There were no trades for me yesterday and a simple, low impact trade today. I set up for the trade this morning, but didn't get filled on my orders, so I cancelled them after awhile. The market BARELY responded to the negative information I was seeing, and then went on it's merry way. So there's really nothing to report.

You know, I often share this little story in regards to market movement -

Picture in your mind a small garter snake moving through the grass. As the snake moves from Point A to Point B, it bobs and weaves back and forth, side to side as it makes it's way along. It ultimately gets to where it's going, but it does not go "as the eagle flies", so-to-speak.

So too, is the market. Price fluctuates up and down and up and down. You never know when it is going to turn or what the ultimate direction is for the day. You can ask any market guru what the market is going to do tomorrow, and, aside from any "hunches" or guesses, they will likely tell you that they have no idea. To put it bluntly, the market is going to do what it's going to do, and go where it's going to go, regardless of what you "think" it should do.

Now, imagine if the proverbial snake in the grass comes up against a large rock or a board, or whatever, as it makes its way across the grassy plain. What is it going to do? It's going to go up and around, or down and around the obstacle, and then continue on its way.

Again, the market reacts in a similar fashion. If the market comes up against some big "good" or "bad" news, then price will go up and around, or down and around the news, and then continue on it's path. This news movement is what Market Mover Traders all live for. We live for big market moving news. We get in, ride the wave up or down, and get out at the right moment. Then we walk away from our computers and have a life!

Many of the people that I know personally that have joined Market Mover Trading are looking for life-changing opportunities that can help them excape the mundanity of office life, the stress of not having enough money to pay bills, and the chance to be in real control of their own financial future.

That's what MMT and this blog are all about. I want to simply let you know, and prove to you, that trading at precise, defined times, and having the discipline to stick to some pretty stringent rules, ANYBODY can be successful trading. And you don't have to sacrifice hours upon hours of time and energy to get it done. If you're on the fence, or if you simply think it is too good to be true, do yourself a favor and call me. Better yet, schedule some time to sit down with me one-on-one, face-to-face, and I will show you how you can do this.

MMT is not a sales gimmick. It is not a farce. It is real people (like me) having real results and sharing it with those they know and love.

C'mon! Give it a shot! What have you got ot lose?

Have a great day. Check back tomorrow.

Lower Unemployment??? Hummm...

2010-03-05T08:23:00.000-07:00

Friday, March 5, 2010

This was the trade I have been waiting for all week. The massive spike in volume is a result of better than expected employment numbers from the Federal Government.

Let's take a time out for just a second. I have absolutely NO intention of making this a forum for political debates or hypothesizing my theories about our government. And, for the record, I used to be a registered Republican, but am no longer. I don't call myself a Republican or Democrat, or anything like that. I consider myself a Conservative Capitalist. I believe in the free market system and big fish and little fish and all that. But, when there are nearly one half million NEW unemployment claims every single week, week after week, how can the unemployment rate stay the same? It just doesn't make sense. And, on top of that, the continuing unemployment claims are at a continuingly high (growing) rate as well. So how can one government beaurocracy put out positive numbers and a similar, related group put out negative ones?

That's why I say, "Hummmm".

Regardless - when I put my trading cap on, I don't really care which way the numbers go. I just want them to go. And today, "go" they did. You can see from the chart above that there was a massive spike in movement. Well, I used that to my advantage to gather nearly $1000 (that's AFTER commissions and fees from my broker) in just a few minutes.

Surprised? Don't be. If you're a newcomer to my blog, you probably are a bit surprised - and maybe even a little impressed. Heck! I even surprise myself from time to time. But, if you've visited before, and if you're a fan of Market Mover Trading - or even know anything about it, you likely know how I got my money so quickly and, more importantly, how I get my money so consistently.

So, for the week, and the month of March, I am up 22% on my money. That 22% is lower than I would like, but it's better than the rate you get from any bank or even other risky venture. In just minutes a day, I am able to capture the bulk of the income it takes to keep my home running, and to grow my financial portfolio.

"Can anyone do it?", you ask? Yes. Anyone can be taught (in a matter of a few weeks) to do what I do. The education and information I receive from MMT make this not only a no-brainer, but a lot of fun as well.

So if you're questioning it, and would simply like to know more - or, if you think you know what's going on, and you just want to verify it - give me a call or send me an email - and I'll help you find the answers you are needing to make a smart choice for yourself.

I'm just a call or click away - kevin@marketmovertrading.net or 801.540.0649.

And with that... have a great weekend guys!

P.S. Registered Market Mover Trading Students or Independent Traders - I have set up a private blog where I show and discuss all the details of each of my trades. This blog has my entry and exit strategies all laid out in plain sight. And I offer it to you "free of charge" to help you develop your trading skills and get the same (or hopefully BETTER) results as me!

If you're interested, please email me your sign-up date and your personal sponsor, and I'll invite you in!

Baby Steps Back...

2010-03-04T09:58:00.000-07:00

Thursday, March 4, 2010

Yesterday's loss was not any fun, but the rebound is always GREAT! I had two trades today. I was extremely conservative with the first trade, because of lower than normal volume and some other factors - but I came out with a win.

Then just a hour and a half later, after getting ready for the day (cufflinks and all), breakfast, and scripture reading with the kids, I was back at my computer and ready for my second trade. I was able to capture a lot more movement on the second trade and ended up winning $750.00 before commissions for the day!

There are several KEY factors that make MMT different and very realistic for most people. I want you to consider these for just a second:

First, the cost to get started, both for education and for funding your account is pretty minimal - especially in comparison to other programs that are available.

Second, our trades are scheduled, calendared, and precise. We don't spend hours upon hours every day trying to milk a few hundred dollars out of the market. You can still have a LIFE!

Third, the fraternity aspect of MMT is so useful. I do this full-time, so I offer my services free of charge. Because if you're successful, I will be successful (cliche, I know). I am invested in your success (cliche again). What took me two months to figure out, I can show you in two hours. I promise. I offer my own one-on-one "boot camp" to everyone in my group. If you live far away, I will do my best to mentor and guide you via the internet and phone using gotomeeting, etc. Just ask my buddy Jon in Ohio. We've never met face-to-face, but we've talked an awful lot. And I helped him set up his trading software using my computer - linked to his. (I got a bit long-winded on this one)

Fourth, the education is pure, precise, and gives you everything you need to know, and nothing that you don't. Especially as a new trader, you want to get going and make some money. MMT doesn't bore you with the things that are not useful to trading the way we do. Then, as you learn, practice, and understand, you can add more knowledge, day-by-day, to make you an even better trader. Learn what you need to learn and do it in a precise, quick way. You'll see the results of this education in weeks - not months or years.

There are tons and tons of other MAJOR advantages to this style of trading, but I'll save them for another day when you have an hour to sit down and chill reading my blog.

Most of all, I hope this blog is useful, entertaining, and most of all, informative. That was the intent.

All the best to you! Two more trades tomorrow!

Loser Day

2010-03-03T09:15:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, March 3, 2010

Hello everyone. I had a losing trade today. I haven't had a losing trade in awhile - and especially not one this big. It's disappointing, but managable and certainly not a deal breaker.

As I look back at my trade, I can see several fundamental things that I could possibly have done differently, but as a whole, I simply missed my profit target by one tick (0.25 points) and it turned against me and stopped me out at my stop loss. Over the following hour, the market went back up and I could have had a winning trade, but we are not hour-long traders. We trade in short bursts and make money quickly.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's trades.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. See you back here tomorrow.

Well, exactly eight years ago, Joy and I had our first little "bundle of joy" arrive in the late afternoon. That's right. Baylee is eight today and she was so excited. I got up early to get ready for trading this morning. Jason and Sean are off to London today, so they asked me to do a few things to help out while they're gone.

I walked out of my room at about 5:50 a.m. There stood Baylee - kind of crouched down ready to scare me I think. I was shocked that she was awake. But I guss I should not have been so surprised. She was stinkin' excited for her birthday to begin.

I didn't trade the first trade opportunity at 6:30. I was actually prepared to make a trade, and I even put in orders, but cancelled them as the trade did not formulate. I shut down my trading software and went back to bed.

But, alas, my kids were awake, and it was impossible to go back to sleep.

I then came back in and prepared for my 8:00 trade. From the image above, you can see that, in about 20 seconds, and I was in, out, and done for the day. I used a unique strategy that is somewhat rare, but the leading indications were PERFECT! And the Market Mover Trading Prediction Points were priceless.

It's great to start the month out right, and I'm on to have a GREAT day a home with my wife and kids on Baylee's birthday. (Actually, Joy swindled me into doing a service project at the local church cannery).

My life has changed dramatically since I quit my office job and was able to really focus on trading. How nice it is to have time to do the things that I've always wanted to do. And do them when I want to. So stop wasting your life away in a stuffy office. :)

Have a great day!
