I am back from Peru and we all traded AMC this morning, which had an excellent ABCD pattern from $44 to almost $47. My recap can be seen here. As you know, I was climbing in the Cardellia Blanca range, but I also managed to have a small meetup in the city of Cusco. After 1 week of high altitude climbing and no internet, I am finally back home in Vancouver. Since I am fully vaccinated,...

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency experienced a massacre over the weekend, with Bitcoin dropping over 50% from their all-time high of $64,000. The world of crypto is scary these days. Unregulated exchanges give novice traders virtually insane leverages such as 1:500. These exchanges thrive on expensive commissions and encourage inexperienced traders to over trade. Part of the sell off over the weekend can be attributed to these highly leveraged traders who do not know how to manage...

Dear Traders, Mike Baehr and I are delighted to let you know that we have just published our next work together: Introduction to Trading Psychology: A Practical Guide to Improve Your Trading Psychology. This book is very different from our previous publication, Mastering Trading Psychology, as in this book, Mike describes the foundation of building a successful career in trading based on the three essential pillars of technology, strategy, and psychology. While technology and strategy may seem...

The following is a thank-you message received by BBT mentor Peter Donnelly from a grateful member after one of Peter's extraordinary webinars, How to Trade The Right Share Size for You. We felt compelled to share this note as it offers valuable advice and examples for all members of the BBT community. Peter, Good afternoon. I wanted to send you a quick email thanking you for your recent webinar on share sizing. I am a relatively new...

I am writing this email to our community from amid mountain villages in the Himalayas. I am currently in Pokhara, a city west of Kathmandu, Nepal. It is known for being a gateway to the Annapurna Circuit (which I have read recently has often been voted as the best long-distance trek in the world). Flying to Pokhara was beautiful, stunning, and amazing. It was all of those words rolled into one! I was able to see...

I hope all of our members had a very nice long weekend and are ready for a short trading week. With Bitcoin over $50,000, and a volatile blockchain market, we are all in for a treat. We apologize for the website issues last night and this morning, but it is all fixed now. Every Monday, our education team, Carlos, Mike and Kyle, offer an Onboarding and Technology session for new members. Due to the website issues,...

Please note that the market is closed on Monday, February 15, in observance of George Washington's birthday (the Presidents’ Day federal holiday). George Washington, a founding father of the United States, is certainly one of my favorite and most respected historical individuals. His vision for democracy and separation of powers in the newly found republic has been an inspiration for so very many. Success in any endeavor comes from being resilient and surviving the learning curve....

In this week's Strategy webinar, Carlos and I hosted a one-hour town hall meeting with Andy Kershner, CEO of Kershner Trading Group. With hundreds of traders, and offices in NYC and Austin, they are one of the most successful proprietary trading firms in the US. Our last question to him concerned the advice he would give to new and developing traders. His response? He said to use STOPs, to use STOPs, and to use STOPs. It’s...

Dear Traders, We are set for another eventful week with some big earnings on the line. Bitcoin has already surged to a new all-time high of over $44,000. It’s also been reported that Tesla has purchased $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin. Traditional trading has always been based on either fundamental analysis or technical analysis, but as Peter discussed last week with Jack Schwager in the first episode of a new season of Talk with Traders, many...
