Manipulated Markets
Yes they are, get over it! One lady recently in our Trading Room expressed deep concern that “Markets are manipulated!”, as if someone from the Securities and Exchange Commission was suddenly going to appear, straighten out the pricing and imprison the manipulators. “The SEC showing up? Never gonna happen.”, I told her. Yes, markets are […]
No Two Traders Are Alike
It is for this reason we offer personal training. We all have different experiences, exposures to markets and aspirations. Understanding of markets, strategies and budgets are all unique. Why would you learn to trade a scalp strategy if you don’t see your account balance over $25k anytime soon? Even our understanding of strategies would be […]
Control Your FOMO
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is a modern lexicon coined as the social anxiety from the feeling that others are making more money, having more fun or living better lives. In addition to fear, greed and ego, FOMO is the latest gremlin to dance on a trader’s head, ready to slip profits into losses. It’s […]
Tips to Selecting a Mentor
Options trading is risky business. Just like athletes and celebrities invoke the services of mentors, so should traders. You have an obligation to do your due diligence in selecting your trading mentor. Just as you would scrutinize the services of an accountant to defend you against the IRS or ensure a lawyer is in your […]
Money to Brains Ratio
Just like everything, I find that we are given challenges to our ability to handle them. As our trading experience – and trading accounts – grow, we are given a different set of tests. Harder tests. Something I teach in my course, not found anywhere else, but vitally important as you grow your account… it’s […]
Subscribe to Signal
Signal is DayTradeSPY’s brand new advisory service. Hugh calls it his “sweet spot” trader because it’s based on an algorithm developed to crunch more than a year’s worth of data for one goal: to identify the profit target that delivered the greatest total gains over time. Long story short, it turned out that shooting for a modest 5% gain resulted in hitting on 96% of trades – or enough to turn $3,505 into $658,078 in just six months.

Sequence of a Trade
Asked a while back how I get into a SPY options position, I replied just how I did it. Step 1: Check your personal situation… are you well rested, free of medications and 100% in the space? Step 2: Check the news… news moves markets. Knowing what is relevant and how it affects pricing is […]
Welcome New Traders!
It is always good to see young, fresh blood enter the markets; very comforting knowing that you are learning how to create wealth on your own without relying on a pay check from an employer. As new traders, you will be exposed to tons of hype, especially from sketchy outfits trying to grab your cash. […]
The Trouble with ‘Free’
Who doesn’t like something for free? We sometimes get requests for free trials. “If I like it, Hugh, I’ll subscribe.”, they write. Except one thing: we do not give free trials. We used to many years ago but not anymore. In the end, nothing is free and nobody truly benefits. a) If I give you […]
Why I Avoid Earnings Trades
Four times a year, companies are required to release their quarterly earnings reports. This financial information includes their balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and other important details of their financial health. Usually, a conference call hosted by a top executive accompanies the release, discussing the company’s report. Investors are obviously interested in this […]
Hugh’s Ultimate: Scalping
There are never any guarantees in this business; you all know that. But, this can be a high probability win strategy that is not only profitable but a lot of fun. In fact, it may be particularly attractive to those who love to trade… in and out, multiple times a day. Essentially, you are putting […]
