Is a complete course in reading the market. You will learn:

All about market structure

How to construct the three types of proper trend lines

Reading the waves of the market – a little-practiced method that keeps you on the right side of the market

Shortening of the Thrust – highly reliable and easy to see ‘market tell’ that the trend is about to change

Clustering of Closes – market behavior that occurs in certain areas that market the end of a move

How to read buying and selling in the price bars

Understanding demand and supply – these are the only things that move the market

The significance of high volume – this tells the pro trader whether a trend will continue or abort

Major indications of strength as they appear on the chart – showing demand has come in or supply has dried up and extremely helpful in knowing what to anticipate next

Major indications of weakness showing selling has come into the market and sellers are taking control

How to integrate market structure with price bar and volume characteristics as well as the major signs of strength and weakness

Absorption of supply – what it is, where to find it, and how to assess it. Absorption tells us in advance that higher prices are yet to come

Several important principles of price behavior – these are market ‘laws’ that precede price action and give you a heads up on where some of the best trades can be made.

A map of the market that gives you a strong model showing you where to find the best trade setups. This is kept on every graduate’s trading desk and is their road map of the market and choice trade setup location
How to create reliable trade setups – we take all that has been learned and bring it into focus with a clear, complete format on how to create trade setups for yourself. This isn’t like you read in all the trading books.

This is the secret to developing real expertise and mastery in your trading.

(3) Dr.Gary Dayton – Trade Tops & Bottoms

Learn to Read Tops & Bottoms and Dramatically Improve Your Trading

Imagine possessing the ability to know when a market is turning. What would it be like to clearly see this occur—not after the fact—but as it is happening? How would you feel if you were able to capture long trade entries at the bottom of the market and initiate shorts at the top? How would you feel if you could do this frequently in your trading?

Well, all this is very possible.

Every trader would like to be able to pick off the top and bottom of a market. After all, this is the location for maximal profits. But few traders know how to do it. They jump the gun and sit through sideways movement and feel the pressure. Worse, they try to pick a top or find a bottom but keep getting stopped out as the market trends on. Frustrated, they miss the big move.

Many turn to indicators—and these can be helpful at times—but they often advise the trader to buy when the market is about to sell off or vice versa.   Have you had that happen to you, more than once? To be able to read a top or know that a bottom is in, you need more.

Imagine what it would be like to possess the knowledge, skills and ability to understand market tops and bottoms. What would it be like for you to see a top clearly form and know where to enter short and set your stop? How would you feel if you saw the market bottom, entered long and saw your trade turn profitable almost immedatiately? How would this feel if it occurred frequently in your trading?

Traders need a dependable way to know that a top or bottom is in place. They need a method that:

• Is trustworthy and reliable

• Has high odds for producing solid results

• Is consistent

• Gets you into the trade near the top and near the bottom

• Has clear, close-in stops

• Doesn’t require an indicator, expensive software or fancy calculations to trigger signals

• Produces almost immediate results

• Works on all time frames and in all freely traded markets

• Is easily seen and assessed by the trader

Our Unique Offer on Tops & Bottoms

Our Tops & Bottoms tutorial is unique as we explain in clear terms what you need to see in your chart to reliably assess that a top or bottom is in. This includes the overall background conditions and how structure must appear. We tell you clearly when the top or bottom doesn’t form properly and exactly what to look for. No one else does this.

You aren’t just given a few examples. There is over two hours of detailed review with numerous charts where we explain in detail all the key elements of market tops and market bottoms, including:

• A conceptual model of tops and bottoms so you can understand the specific market action you are looking for

• Specific Entry techniques for tops and bottoms

• Understanding protracted tops and the characteristics of secondary distribution

• Reading the chart for accumulation and what it looks like—this alone will keep you from holding onto short trades or going short at the wrong time

• Likely areas a market will turn

• How to read tops and bottoms bar-by-bar using only price and volume

• How to use the Weis Wave for incredibly accurate confirmations of tops and bottoms

• Using multiple time frames to increase the odds of identifying high quality trades

• Key indications that a market has turned

• Specific trade setups for trading tops and bottoms, along with the all-important background conditions that must be in place

• Identifying the “Springboard”—i.e., the very specific point in the top or bottom where the market is poised to move off the highs or lows rapidly.

• And much more …

(6) Dr.Gary Dayton – Trade the Trend

Understand the market and know where it is going through the help of the trading course Trade the Trend 

Traders who are not well versed in their trading will typically think that the financial market moves in an unpredictable manner; however, the financial market does move in a certain way with certain trends. The trend in the financial market can sometimes be described as irrational and unpredictable but it is impossible to predict it but individuals need to have a sophisticated amount of trading knowledge. In order to solve the issue of insufficient trading, the online platform Tradingpsychologyedge has produced an educational trading course called Trade the Trend that put great focus about the trend in the financial market

The trading course Trade the Trend of Tradingpsychologyedge will illustrate the direction in the trading market and why it is an extremely valuable source of information for traders to perform excellent trade. The trading course Trade the Trend will have the total duration of 4 hours and through the 4 hours of lecturing from Tradingpsychologyedge, traders will learn the exact enter and exit moment that they may enter the trading market so that no potential gain can be sacrificed. In addition, the trading course Trade the Trend will tell traders the crucial key in order to obtain larger profits with a trading strategy that has been proven to work no matter the financial market and the timeframes. Traders would not need any prior knowledge about the financial market but what is highly needed to be brought into the table is their determination to perform better and more confident in trading and that is exactly what the trading course Trade the Trend from Tradingpsychologyedge is aiming at.

(8) Dr. Gary Dayton – Winning Trader Psychology

Looking for More Confidence & Consistency in Your Trading? It’s all in Your Head.

“Gary’s Winning Trader Psychology – mental skills and tools have transformed me from a losing trader to a winning trader. Before I began to learn these mental skills and the Wyckoff method I was a consistently losing trader. Until I recently began to receive training and guidance from Gary, I had 9 losing years in a row which finished up with a streak of 68 losing weeks in a row! That has changed markedly for me now. Not every week is a winner but I’m having more winning weeks than losing weeks. Each week I’m becoming more knowledgeable and more consistent. Gary has taught me to focus on the process and not the results. I’m happy to say the results have been a positively growing equity curve as the by-product of that focus on mental skills and trading process.” Tom from Oregon

What would it be like for you to be trading consistently, day in and day out, week in and week out?

Where would your confidence be if you knew you were on top of your trading game?

How would you feel if you knew you were doing the right things in your trading – minimizing unforced errors, sticking to your plan, practicing sound money management, maintaining composure and poise in your trading, and exercising positive and reliable trading actions?
Well, all of this is very possible.

The Key to Successful Trading

Most traders put their attention only on learning the technical side of the market – chart patterns, indicators, reading the bars and volume, creating systems, and the like.  Certainly, the technical side of the game is very important, so important that there is no trading without it.  But the mental side of the game is just as important.  Lacking certain mental skills, traders will struggle to maximize their trading potential or apply their hard learned technical understanding to the market.  Think about sports.  No professional athlete discounts the mental side of their game.  They know the importance of the mental game and they spend a lot of time developing mental skills.  They know that no matter how talented they are, they can’t reach their goals without possessing a strong mental game.   Traders, too, should not discount the mental side of the trading game.

Our Unique Offer:
Exclusive Training Available Nowhere Else

Dr. Gary’s Winning Trader Psychology course is unique in that it offers what no one else provides: a practical, highly relevant program for developing your mental skills and abilities while at the same time, helping you translate the mental skills directly to your trading.

(14) Dr. Gary Dayton – Primary Language of Market

Profit with Wyckoff Bar by Bar & Learn thePrimary Language of the Market Using Only Price and Volume

Recordings of over 5 hours of teaching are available!

It’s not a lost art, yet!

Imagine being able to look at a chart and immediately understand the buying and selling?  What would it be like to understand how the market was moving through each price bar and its associated volume?  How would you feel if you knew the right time to buy the market on a pullback or sell as price rejects higher levels?

All of this is very possible.

Indicators, specialty software, and systems can be helpful, but they also can be confusing – often advising the traders to buy when the market is about to sell off or sell when the market is ready to rally.  Successful traders use indicators as a backup to the chart’s price action.  They understand that using indicators alone cannot get them very far.  To achieve higher levels of trading, traders come to realize that they need to know how to read the price bars and volume independently of their indicators.  Struggling traders do just the opposite: they rely on indicators and ignore what can be plainly read in the naked chart.  To truly learn how to trade profitably, traders need to understand how to read the market by its own action bar-by-bar.  This is what we teach you.

This special webinar will include:

The intri­ca­cies of read­ing price bars and volume

What wide spread bars mean

The implications of high volume (there are several to be aware of)

The implications of low volume (there are several to be aware of)

The market contexts in which narrow range bars are important

What to look for, bar-by-bar, in trending markets—both up and down trends

One key indication in price and volume that gives a very strong indication that a trend is over

Important market cues to pay attention to that signal a trend is likely

Confirming indications that a trend remains intact and that you shouldn’t exit a winning trade prematurely – these are usually very clear and will help keep you in the trade

Early warning signs that signal a trend is likely coming to an end – these tell you it is time to lighten up on your position or exit entirely

Using market waves along with bar-by-bar analysis—a critical chart reading skill

Exclusive: How to apply the Weis Wave with bar-by-bar trading!

How to tell the difference between a normal pullback and a trend change

Using price bars and volume for entries – we will go over several

Where to set stops based on price and volume

How to integrate higher time frames on a bar-by-bar basis for very powerful trading

We will walk-forward a few markets bar-by-bar to give you a feel of reading the market real-time.

And more.

We don’t do “quick & dirty”

Charts are dissected in great detail.  It is not good enough to just look at a chart in a casual manner.  We show you how to go right into the heart of bar-by-bar analysis.

This course is composed of 2 sessons of more than 5 hours of teaching.  Sessions are recorded and you can review the recordings at your convenience.As with everything we teach, the material you will learn in this webinar applies to all freely traded markets in all time frames.  We have never done this before and have never shown this material in this depth before, so you will be getting it first!  This course is helpful for traders whether you are new to the market or have been trading for a while.

(15) Dr.Gary Dayton – DEEP PRACTICE WITH DR.GARY

and other Three Bonus Courses

Who is Dr Gary Dayton?

Dr. Gary Dayton stands apart as a trading psychologist in his use of the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) approach to peak performance, a model of human behavior based on cutting-edge psychological research.  In his thought-leader article, Fear Not: A Mindful Perspective for Traders published in Stocks, Futures, and Options Magazine (December, 2009), Dr. Dayton introduced traders to the practice of mindfulness to help them overcome fear and other unwanted trading emotions and explained how mindfulness can help traders develop the concentration and focus needed to trade successfully.  Dr. Dayton published another article in the June 2010 issue of SFO Magazine, Take Control of Your Trading: Focus on High-Value Actions, where he shows traders how to stay focused on critical trading actions rather than succumb to ‘emotional hijackings’ while trading.

After learning trading strategies, Dr. Dayton found that the number one challenge for traders is the struggle with the mental and emotional side of trading.  Nearly every trader tries to control his or her emotions, but this is usually ineffective and often becomes problematic for the trader.  The struggle with unwanted emotions and the erratic trading actions that result may be a primary reason why 90% of all aspiring traders fail.  Dr. Dayton uses the MAC model to help traders focus on what matters most for his/her trading and avoid engaging in distracting emotional and mental chatter.

Through seminars, workshops, and coaching, Dr. Dayton, and his company Peak Psychology Inc., help traders overcome the psychological pitfalls unique to trading, while at the same time helping traders develop the optimal mindset needed to be successful.  He focuses on both correcting problems as well as teaching specific proficiencies required to build mastery in trading.  Dr. Dayton applies state-of-the-science knowledge in mindfulness-acceptance, cognitive-behavioral, and sport psychologies, along with research findings from behavioral finance, to help individuals systematically develop peak performance skills and abilities.  His ultimate goal with each individual is to instill the ability to become one’s own peak performance coach.

A trader himself, Dr. Dayton understands what goes through a trader’s mind and can effectively communicate with them.  He integrates his knowledge of advanced psychology with trading to make it easier for the trader to understand.  His approach to trading psychology is focused on helping the trader build the metal skills necessary to trade successfully.   In his work, Dr. Dayton guides the trader through the elements of deep or deliberate practice, a model of elite performance based on 35 years of research in individual performance.

An active trader since 1999, Dr. Dayton has traded equities, commodity futures, the financial index e-mini futures, and options, e-mini S&P futures markets, applying Wyckoff method of market analysis. He is an expert in Wyckoff analysis and the lost art of chart reading, in which the technical aspects of the market are read with price bars and volume.

A featured speaker in workshops and seminars, Dr. Dayton helps traders learn the mental and emotional side of trading through enjoyable and enlightening hands-on exercises.

Dr. Dayton is a psychologist and holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and a certificate in human performance/sport psychology from Rutgers University.  He is President of Peak Psychology, Inc., a consulting firm that specializes in developing “peak” performance in traders.
