As one of the original dot-com day traders from the 1990s, Ken is a widely recognized expert in both intraday and swing trading techniques.

Read what one of the most-respected trading industry magazine editors has to say about us:

You'll learn my strategies using my educational materials based on my extensive actual experience in swing and day trading the markets for many years.


My Preferred Trading Techniques
:

  • We primarily use time & sales "tape reading" patterns with breakout & gap candlestick charts.
  • Favorite technical indicators: candlestick chart patterns (hammer, shooting star, engulfing and 3-line breaks),
         Average Directional Index (ADX), micro-cup patterns Average True Range (ATR), volume breakouts
  • Breakout & gap play open-range daytrades for 2 to 20 minute roundtrips, done before 11am.
  • Swing trades using 15-day charts (stocks & ETFs) and 7-day charts (Forex) for 2-to-15 day round trip swing trades
  • Day trading with 1-minute candlestick charts (ES e-mini, equities, ETFs and Forex)
  • Tier relative strength, eg internets, semiconductors, biotechs, retail, oil and software sector plays
  • Volume breakouts in strongest-sector stocks on new 2-day high/low support/resistance
  • Key Market internal indicators including $TRINQ, $COMPQ, VIX and more
  • We look at both daily gap and breakout plays as well as a core basket of trading stocks

    Most importantly, we explain why trade entries and exits are of interest, based on TA indicators. like 2-day open range breakout patterns, 1-minute candlestick chart patterns and time & sales prints. We also use intraday reversals off support areas and breakthroughs above resistance patterns on volume.

    Although He's a UCLA Grad and Former Corporate Quality Engineer, Discovering How To Trade Still Took Him YEARS to "Get It Right"...And Now He Trades Every Single Week
    Like Clockwork — He'll Show YOU How To Trade, Step by Step...


    Ken will tell you he made every mistake in the book (and then some) on the path to learning how to trade correctly. Now he's able to make thoughtful trade entries, thanks to meticulous testing and experimenting to find out what works best, updated for each week's markets. As a former corporate quality engineer and statistician, dozens of Fortune 500 companies (including Ford, McDonnell Douglas, Sheraton, Chevron and Rockwell International) relied on him to help them improve operations and "the numbers" as a quality management team facilitator... he took this experience to help him learn how to trade, and he's thrilled with what he's learned.

    Ken reveals new trading tips in his popular network of trading sites for active traders, so you can learn everything he's tested out with thousands of actual trades he's done.

    As an internationally published business management consultant, Ken previously trained over 31,000 people in over 147 companies worldwide. He took his profits from his successful consulting career and discovered the world of active stock trading, where he's been working to help other traders use precision, advanced trading strategies in their trades.


    Ken's Daytrading University site has been trusted by over 8,100 traders worldwide to learn how to swing and day trade stocks, and is considered a premiere resource for active traders. He has interviewed Brian Tracy, Toni Turner, Dr. Van K. Tharp, Larry Levin, Steve Nison, Kathy Lien, Boris Schlossberg, Dr. Doug Hirschhorn and others and is a popular, sought-after seminar speaker and industry figure with credibility.

    Unlike the majority of trading industry vendors (most of who can't prove they even actually trade), Ken is a genuine trader and his articles and training have helped tens of thousands of active traders worldwide since 1999, when he first founded the Daytrading University.




     
     
     




    Many traders lack the tools, training, discipline, and patience to be successful. Personally I believe that for myself, papertrading for the first couple of years before trying to trade live capital would have been a wise approach. We enjoy active trading, and wish you the best in your trading activities as well. Take your time to learn our methods, and best wishes for success with your trading, once you learn our advanced techniques.

    Ken is Daytrading University's founder and is a successful entrepreneur, trainer and active trader.



  •       As a UCLA and CSULB graduate (psychology) and real trader, Ken knows exactly how to coach and help you with the specific entry and exit "mechanics of the trade". You'll participate in world-class interactive trading activities with him that you need to help make your trading approach more professional.

    Fact: most trading "coaches" don't even trade, or aren't UCLA-degreed in pscyhology. Since Ken has both, he's uniquely positioned in the trading industry to be one of the more valuable resources available today for active traders.

    Trader "Success Stories" and Testimonials: Plus, see all the 152+ trader testimonials about my online course
    These are some of the many customer satisfaction testimonials we've earned over the years (thanks!). No claims of performance
    nor profitability are being made in any of these; all comments are individual experiences; "generally expected customer
    results are that all traders incur trading losses and most are not profitable", as trading is a high-risk, speculative activity.

    I have been studying under Ken for the past 4 years and the improvement in my trading knowledge and skills has been VERY significant. I look back on when I began trying to do this on my own and I have to just laugh how I had no idea what I was doing. Ken taught me so many valuable things - how to scan for worthwhile stocks, position sizing, tape reading, precise entry and exit points,gap and technical analysis etc etc - too many to list here. His honesty, knowledge and training ability are unsurpassed in this industry. His professionally done webinars are priced very competitively, packed with excellent trading lessons, recorded in high quality Blu-Ray, and I constantly find myself going back and reviewing them over and over again. And he takes time to answer your questions.

    Trading is very difficult. I think what I like about Ken the most is he is a straight shooter. And whether you are a beginner or an advanced trader, Ken's experience as a real trader will certainly help improve your knowledge and give you a better edge to be successful. Thanks Ken!!    - Bud S.

    You really have gone above and beyond in responding to my product shipping e-mail.  THANK YOU for the personal attention.  I AM IMPRESSED!!   I didn't mean to tie you up but i appreciate the follow up.. Doing stuff over the internet is so scary cause you usually get no response and can never get to a live body.  Anyways - learned a lot from the ADX webinar, hope there is even more info on the ADX Mastery Disc. I am really looking forward to your teaching, as I need to restore my confidence as I have made every rookie mistake possible and then some!  Can't make the webinar tonight but will watch it later.  Anticipating much success going forward with your and Steve's teachings.

    "This was the second Daytrading University webinar that I've attended and it was again full of excellent step-by-step practical advice that I've started using already. Ken was extremely professional and generous with the Q&A session at the and I get the feeling that he genuinely  cares about his trainees learning and becoming better traders. Well-worth the investment, what I learned has more than paid for the cost of the training within a couple of days already." Richard B.
