"Trading the Open" has been an eye-opener for me...highly recommend!"

"Up until this time - I had always been told not to trade gaps and not to trade the first hour of the market since both of these were only for "professionals".

Well, count me in as a beginning "pro" because I have been learning to papertrade the opens and gaps with a 60%+ success rate these past few weeks....

I highly recommend him...I look forward to becoming a successful daytrader, thanks to Ken Calhoun and Daytrading University. "

In Trading the Open, our Live Room, you will learn how to identify daytrading breakout chart patterns in realtime. We are here solely to teach you how to trade with live trading examples. You should not make actual trades based on this or any chatrooms' postings, per SEC regulations.

This room is a live training seminar for you to learn in. I train you in my chart pattern recognition techniques, so you can see my trade entry techniques in realtime.
We do not in any way represent that you will be able to duplicate our realtime trade entries, nor that you will have any type of positive performance or results yourself in trading our methods, per SEC regulations.

We make no performance claims of any kind, nor do we post hypothetical 'performance records', as these do not reflect what actual trading is like due to slippage.

Traders, Please Follow these 7 Simple Guidelines for Participating in our Trading the Open Chatroom
To Ensure a Professional Trading Community

  • RULE #1: We always welcome questions about the market, specific stock plays (for stocks over $25 w/1.2M avg daily shares volume or more) and daytrading & swingtrading techniques. Ask questions often.
  • RULE #2: It's best to avoid asking questions from 9:30am-9:45am, as that's my "hot time" on the open where I'm adjusting entry alerts and posting new ones for members.
  • RULE #3: Look for breakouts and reversals, not tops or bottoms. We don't chase. The first breakout above resistance is good to call, though. We'll show you how to spot these plays early. We are a technical trading team, your participation is requested.
  • RULE #4: Don't risk real dollars trading while learning. Realtime training & trader education is the focus of our room, with stock calls made to illustrate specific techniques you will be learning about. You agree to not make any actual trading decisions based on posts or alerts. They are for papertrading only.
  • RULE #5: We follow a disciplined trading system using recognizable plays, and so should you. Our calls and education will all reference a specific type of play, such as a 2-day high volume breakout in EBAY on time & sales strength at 9:50am etc. There has to be a specific set of technical criteria met for each type of play, so take your time to learn these, and ask questions.
  • RULE #6: Our daytrading style is 5- to 15-minute roundtrip trades for active Nasdaq stocks done during primarily during the 9:40am til 11:30am timeframe. All stops are .2 max, trailing stops are used to lock in profits for winners of .3 to 1.2 points as a target. So don't hold anything in your (paper) trading entries longer than 20 minutes or so for 80%+ of the calls you'll see.
  • RULE #7: Our swingtrading style uses 10-day high/low channel breakouts and breakdown volume reversals, with position sizing and stops. Pay attention and learn how to use 52-week high/low and gap plays with 10-day candlestick volume/ADX breakouts.
 


If you want to learn how to trade the mechanics of our daytrading techniques, explained with chart patterns that I annotate and have you look at, you're at the right place.

Get full discussions, the why's and "why nots!" for specific entries, and astonishing exit calls on pivots that will leave you breathless. It's hard to follow, but focus and you may learn a thing or two about pattern day trading..
 

"We Are Pattern Day Traders. It's What We Do."
We Do It DIFFERENTLY From any other Room. Here's How...

See NASDAQ Day Trading Come Alive for you Daily with Annotated Charts, Audio and More...

  • You will learn our specific Nasdaq daytrading chart pattern entries, and how you can learn in realtime for yourself. We drill it over and over, the specific setups, eg "see why we got in NVLS here?", "why aren't we trading biotechs today - what do you see in the sectors?" etc.. And why the entries work the way they do.
  • We do not care about overseas markets, or what they are babbling about on tv. We will show you specific 1-minute chart patterns with live examples & advanced Nasdaq daytrading. It's what we do.
  • Our specialty? Breakouts, breakdowns and fibonacci bounces for Nasdaq daytrades that last from 5 to 20 minutes roundtrip, done primarily in the opening two hours of each market day.
  • You will also be learning how to use our powerful swing trading techniques, such as 10-day channel trades and position sizing w/candlestick chart patterns.
  • The benefit of working with me in a live room situation is that you will learn, and I explain in realtime commentary with annotated chart patterns you simply click on to view, Why each entry and what the exceptions and subtle professional tips (eg using nas futs, trinq, sector strength divergence, money flow and timing reversals etc).

    Unlike the other rooms, I am not some guy saying "buy it now it's running, urgent buy, consider buy BRCM here quick hurry" like so many other places are. That's bs. My focus is on education, Not being a signal seller type.

    You'll learn, not just see someone call entries. You'll get both - and after being with me in the room for a few months, I hope you'll walk away having learned how to use the techniques for yourself to become a more knowledgeable and skilled trader by learning the exact timing and technical signals needed you need to make consistent trades- that's the goal!

"You'll Instantly Start Learning How to Spot the Most Volatile Gap and Breakout Patterns During Each Morning's Breathtaking Open -
All Explained Step by Step so YOU Get It...FAST...!"

The primary goal of DAYTRADING UNIVERSITY's Pro Live Training Room is to train you how to Day and Swing Trade Stocks using our precision trading techniques.

You get a lot of personalized coaching and training if you wish, in addition to watching and hearing the alerts and complete step by step explanations.

You'll be interested to hear our explanations, which show you exactly why each entry was called, using entry targets, live specific trailing stops, and exact exit points.

Prepared for trading yet? Here's a couple of interesting resources:

Take a look at two sample trading rigs:
Ken's professional eSignal 6-Monitor trading rig screencap: 6 Monitor Rig
An alternate 2-Monitor eSignal trading rig screencap: 2 Monitor Rig

What do you notice about each one? See the e-mini and trin and large time & sales customized tape in the 2-monitor one, for instance? How different are they from what You're currently using?

As a bonus, I'll even teach you how
I use my trading rigs when you're in the Live Room. Ask anyone else for that level of professional support!

I use 3 pcs, with eSignal on PC #1, Cyber and Interactive Broker software on PC #2, and my chatspace and paltalk software and on PC #3. I'm serious about having the right hardware and software for this business.

The intense professional, disciplined business attitude you will see in DTU's Live Training Room is the result of years of trading experience.

Have you seen the movie "Full Metal Jacket"? I am like the drill sergeant. I want you to learn how to daytrade and swing trade INDEPENDENTLY of me and others, so the focus of this service is on realtime training and education.

I expect you to join because you are seriously interested in learning how to trade for yourself. I do not handhold traders, this room is for intermediate level traders with at least 1-2 years' experience. We hope that you'll learn many new techniques, as featured in our Active Trader magazine articles and elsewhere, using live market examples.

Also, please familiarize yourself with:
1) my 2-Day High/Low Breakout
Active Trader Magazine article (Sept 2001),
Learn how to use powerful 2-day high/low volume breakout moves.
