The Trend Is Not Your Friend
Anthony Drager
Why is it that most people who try to trade, don't succeed? Could it be that they are all trying the same momentum of indicator techniques and not looking at what truly moves markets. Come see a strategy that uses what moves price. Value and supply/demand. No oscillators, moving averages, fibonacci, or other mathematical formulaes--just buyers and sellers, cheapness or richness. Those two elements move the price of anything, including the price of the ES, oil, gold, and treasury futures. Ten-year electronic trader, Anthony Drager, will offer this straightforward approach that is used by computer programs and other successful traders.
