First, my apologies for not trading on Friday. I was climbing at Mt. Assiniboine, which in my humble opinion is the most beautiful mountain in the world. It is located in Assiniboine Provincial Park, on the British Columbia side of the Canadian Rockies. Its access is primarily limited to helidrop only, and that makes this […]
Success in the financial markets comes from having consistently large profits while maintaining consistently small losses. There is no other secret sauce or magic formula. The randomness of the market is decisive. It often will reward bad habits and sloppy trading by offering large profits to gamblers. It may often seem to you that the […]

I have an important announcement to share with you today, as well as some news, so please forgive me for this longer than usual email. Firstly, I would like to invite you all to our Success Webinar this week, featuring our very own Peter: From the Beginning: Setting Up a Training Plan Wednesday, July 8, […]
First, I would like to wish a Happy Canada Day to all of my Canadian friends and family in our community. I came to this amazing country as an international student. The government of Canada offered me a generous scholarship, in the midst of a financial crisis, and supported me during my 5 years of […]
I will be climbing in the Canadian Rockies from June 27 to July 8. I’ll be certain to post pictures in my Twitter and Instagram accounts of my climbs as well as of the amazing beauty that the Rocky Mountains have to offer. Should you be in the area, I’d love to connect with you. […]
I hope it was an amazing week for you and that everyone reading this roundup was able to keep it all green. 84 days after the stock market hit rock bottom on March 23rd, the S&P 500 was up 44.5%. This is more powerful than the surge we saw after the Great Recession’s lows of […]
I hope you have all had a great week and were able to keep it green. What a crazy week it was on Wall Street! On Monday and Tuesday, the markets were up and it felt like the new bull rally had begun. By Thursday however, all hell broke loose and the market experienced a […]
To be a successful and competitive athlete, you need to master what Nike calls the 5 facets of training: Movement, Mindfulness, Recovery, Nutrition and Sleep. I really believe that to be successful in any career or endeavor, you need these same 5 facets, albeit with a little bit of tweaking specific to the situation. There […]
I hope you’ve had a great first week of June. If this week has taught us anything, it is that the markets are future looking: they are more concerned with what is about to happen rather than what is happening at the moment. The market had an incredible rally, which was primarily due to the […]
I hope you are all well and have had a green week. This week marked the last trading week in May. Yes! We are officially 5 months into 2020. Whether you had a good month or not, there is an old saying on Wall Street that some of you may have heard before, “Sell in […]
I join with our American traders and friends this Memorial Day weekend in honoring those who sacrificed their lives for all of the freedoms we enjoy today. Regardless of where you call home, whether it is in the United States or elsewhere, I hope you are well, safe, and of course keeping it green going […]
We are seeing a crazy market these days. Airlines are selling off and marijuana companies are ripping higher. The market is telling us this: people do not travel anymore but they do smoke pot! All jokes aside, this week we had an amazing presentation from one of our members, John Hiltz. His talk was entitled: […]
Dear traders: I have a few important announcements to make about our community. The first is concerning tonight’s Success Webinar by our very own Mike Baehr. As you all may have heard several times in our community, trading is a serious business and it needs to be treated as such. Every new business or venture […]
Dear traders, As countries and states are slowly reopening, I hope you and those close to you are staying well and in good health. I also encourage you to join me in following all government health directives. This has been a very difficult time for many people and we really do need to keep on […]
Dear traders, This is just a reminder that I would like to invite all of you to this week’s special webinar with Dr. Brett N. Steenbarger (trading psychologist) and Mike Bellafiore (cofounder of SMB Capital).

On Thursday, April 23, 2020, at around 4:15 pm ET, my phone rang and I saw a California number on it. I picked up the phone, thinking that maybe one of my family members who lives in the state was calling me. No, it was the friend of a friend. My friend, who lives in […]
Dear traders, I hope you and your family are doing well in these uncertain times. Many of you might have experienced a bear market in the past (2009 or 2000 come to mind), but this is the first bear market of my trading career. These are certainly unprecedented days: a bear market, a pandemic, self-isolation […]
Dear traders,I hope you are doing well in these self-isolation times. More and more better news is coming forward and it seems some European countries are now gradually relaxing their constraints on business. We hope to slowly see an expansion in both economic and social activities. For some time still, our life may not be […]
Dear traders, I trust you and your family are doing well during these uncertain times. This unprecedented season is challenging for all of us, but I know with all of my heart that we will pass through them much better if we stay strong and maintain a positive perspective. Each day I see in the […]
