How TradingMarkets Professional Swing Trading College
Will Teach And Train You To Succeed At Swing Trading

What does it take to succeed at swing trading? In order for you to succeed at swing trading, you must have a structured plan which takes advantage of the times where the market has shown historical edges. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THERE IS LITTLE TO NO EDGE. Most traders get hurt when they trade during the times that there is no edge.

Over a 7-week period, we will teach you multiple ways to wait for the edges and then act on those edges. And, we will teach you how to identify those times using statistical evidence to guide us. Even though there is no guarantee that any of these past simulated edges will exist in the future, you will see a common theme throughout The CORE Methodology which we believe gets inside the heart of the times where a 3 day to 2 week edge exists. Model-driven trading is one of the fastest growing areas amongst hedge funds and large trading firms. And now, through The TradingMarkets Professional Swing Trading College, you will learn how to apply model driven trading to your portfolio on a professional basis.

The Key To Successful Professional Swing Trading Is Consistency In Both Up Markets And Down Markets. Here Is An Example Of One Of The Main CORE Strategies In Action, Both In A Rising And Declining Market...

Successfully Swing Trading In A Bull Market -- Multiple Consecutive Winning Trades

Successfully Swing Trading On The ShortSide In A Declining Market -- All Signals Again Profitable

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Based on simulated trading. Does not include slippage and commissions.

This Is The Type Of Consistent Performance We Expect To Deliver To You With Systems Like This

...And this is just one of many different CORE trading methods you will learn!

All of these CORE methods have been shown to work during bull markets, bear markets and flat markets over the past decade. Best of all, you only have to learn a few simple rules for each one which detects these potential trades and sets up the parameters of your trades automatically.

Here Is What You Will Receive From
The TradingMarkets Professional Swing Trading College

You will spend 7 weeks with professional trader Steve Primo learning The CORE through live interactive workshops. Every trading day he'll meet with you before the market opens to lay out for you the plan for the day. And each session, via a live multimedia Internet workshop, he will teach you, piece by piece, The CORE for trading the major indices, high-quality stocks and options. You will see Steve, hear him and be able to ask him questions live as he teaches you the method. Now, lets break down The College into its components.

Live Daily Pre-Market Briefings

Every trading morning at 9:20 AM EST, you'll meet with Steve in a live conference call. He will provide you with a structured plan of attack so that during the course of the day, you will know exactly what to do, no matter what happens in the market. He'll also alert you of CORE trades that may be setting up in stocks, SPYs, QQQQs and options. He'll comment on current market conditions and how they may affect your trading. And he will review current open trade positions. All of these Pre-Market Briefings will be recorded so that, if you cannot attend them, you will be able to listen to and learn from them at a time that is convenient for you.

Live Trading

Steve will put all the pieces together right in front of you as he actually trades the method with a real money trading account. You will be able to watch him through a live online portfolio which displays entries and exits for every position traded together with a daily P&L. And if you cannot make it to every session, don't worry. Every session will be recorded so that you can view and study it at your convenience.

You also will receive a detailed 200+ page CORE Strategy Compilation, sent via PDF, to reinforce and deepen your understanding. This detailed Strategy Compilation provides you with the same full explanation of every method that you will receive through our Internet workshops. It includes the complete rules, trade examples and performance statistics.

Plus, you will receive rapid and courteous answers to all of your questions from Steve...any day of the week.

What You Will Learn In Each Of Our 7 Weekly Live Training Sessions...

Let's now go deeper into how we will work together during the individual live sessions in our 7-week course.

For each of the live 45- to 75-minute sessions that Steve conducts, he provides you with the following training and ongoing guidance. And don't worry if you are busy and cannot make it to all of the live sessions or if there is some topic that you want to review again. They will all be recorded and you will be able to watch them at a time that is convenient for you.

1. You'll watch us trade. -- Steve will provideyou with a username and password to access his trading portfolio tracker. As you learn our methods, you will be able to monitor every trade that The CORE Methods tell him to initiate to ensure that you understand how the rules should be implemented. Note that the main focus of this live trading is educational in nature during the first 5 weeks of the program. However, in weeks 6 through 7, you can trade along with us, especially if you are an experienced trader who fully understands the methods we've taught you.
   
   
2. Review the action and previous week's trade signals. -- Once you begin learning the methods during the second week, you will be able to follow along as Steve trades. With each passing week, he will review the previous week's action and go over specific signals as needed.
   
   
3. System Logic. -- We will introduce each method by explaining what it does and how it works. Through chart examples, you'll get a good feel for the kinds of signals each method generates.
   
   
4. Performance Statistics. -- We'll go over the performance of each method and give you an in-depth overview of each method's winning percentages, profit factors, trade duration, trade frequency and performance in different market environments.
   
   
5. Method Rules. -- There are a small number of rules for each method, and we will not only teach each of them to you, we will also explain the important role that each rule plays in potentially maximizing your profits.
   
   
6. Homework. -- To help you develop your skills, we'll have you watch the market for CORE Method setups during each week and execute paper trades. You'll need to come prepared to the next session so that we can compare notes on how well you executed each rule.
   
   
7. Q&A -- Finally, we'll spend some time answering your questions in-depth to make sure that you fully understand how to apply the rules for each CORE method, as well as any other aspects of the method you might wish to explore.
   
   
   

The TradingMarkets Professional Swing Trading College Course Schedule CORE Foundation Knowledge Model-Driven Systematic Trading Strategies And Methods For Indices, SPYs, QQQQs, And E-minis Session 1 The Path To Becoming A Successful Swing Trader The CORE Overview -- First, we'll lay down a foundation of essential knowledge you need to know about how the markets work. Come with an open mind, as you learn concepts which may differ from "conventional wisdom." From there, we'll build upon this knowledge to help you get the best results when you're trading The CORE. Here's what we'll cover in this first session: Which is better...model-driven trading or discretionary trading? -- In this section, we'll show you how a good trading method can eliminate the many years you'd have to spend learning discretionary strategies (which require you to learn subjectively and interpret patterns or data). What is The CORE discovery and how can it improve your trading? -- In this section, we will explain what The CORE is, give you some background on why it works and then walk you through chart examples that clearly show you how the method captures rapid reversals in high-quality stocks in different market environments. The academic evidence of price behavior predictors. -- We will provide you with a brief (and understandable) overview of the academic studies and mathematic theories that back The CORE Method. Brokers and order placement -- CORE orders can be placed either at the open or near the close. While order placement is simple, there are often hidden expenses that most traders are unaware of which your broker may not be telling you about. We will provide you with some criteria you can use in order to make sure that your broker is working for you (and not against you) in maximizing your weekly, monthly and yearly returns. Questions -- We will answer all of your questions to ensure that you can fully take advantage of The CORE Methods. Next, we'll teach you the first system of our 7-week course. The CORE R3 Method -- Over a 10-year period of simulated trading, this systematic trading method achieved the following: Has been 87.84% correct on the long side on the S&P 500. Has had a Profit Factor of 9.18 on the long side (anything above 2.0 is considered outstanding). Had as many as 23 consecutive winning trades...while having no more than 2 consecutive losing trades Has captured over 1500 S&P and over 3400 Nasdaq 100 points In my past 26 years as a trader, both on the floor as a specialist and as head of my own firm, I have not seen any non-optimized and non-curve fitted system in the world that has ever achieved results like this (except for other methods taught in my 7-Week Course). Sessions 2 The CORE RSI 20 Method, and the RSI 1% Method for the SPYs and the QQQQs In Session Two, I will teach you the complete rules of The Core RSI 20 Method, and The RSI 1% Method to trade the SPYs, QQQQs, and the SMHs. Each of these methods has over a decade of performance behind it and each has high profit factors along with signals which have averaged 75-82% correct. Plus, as with all the methods, you will be given the software which will automatically identify the signals for you each day at the close. Model-Driven Systematic Trading Strategies And Methods For Equities Sessions 3 & 4 The CORE R4 Method for Equity Swing Trading In Sessions Three and Four, we'll expand into systematically swing trading equities. During these two weeks, you will learn the R4 Method for trading stocks. Special focus will be on the Nasdaq these two weeks as we look to trade portfolios which give us the potential for greater gains. Using this system in the current Nasdaq 100, 94 out of the 100 stocks have shown a net profit from 1995 to 2004 in simulated trading. The signals have been correct approximately 81% of the time in thousands of simulated trades and profit factors are as high as 34.88! Session 5 The CORE RS2/DW System In Session Five we will teach you The RS2/DW System created by MIT graduate and professional trader, David Weilmuenster. The RS2/DW System is another strong system to trade the SPY's and any derivative of the S&P 500. Session 6 The CORE 4/10/60 Method In Session Six, we will teach you The CORE 4/10/60 Method. This simple-to-understand method has been tested on the stocks in the S&P 100 going back 16 years to1989. With over 1000 simulated trades, the signals have been profitable approximately 70% of the time and the average gain of these stocks has been nearly 5 times greater than the average gain of the average S&P 100 stock over the same holding period. You will learn how to identify these stocks, when to buy, when to sell, position size, stop placement and more. Model-Driven Systematic Trading Strategy For Options Session 7 The CORE 20/30/40 Method For Option Traders To round out your education in systematic trading, we will teach you the 20/30/40 Method for Options in Session Seven. This system has seen numerous triple digit returns in the underlying stocks over the past 16 years. And, its average gain has been over 36% per trade from buy to sell. Using long term options (LEAPs) you will learn how to systematically trade options, especially those that have the potential for large outsized gains. Special Bonus Session Session 8 TM R4 Method For Aggressive Swing Trading In this Special Bonus Session, we'll take the R4 Method a much higher level by incorporating filters, moving averages in order to provide you with even higher probability setups. Putting The CORE Together Session 9 Special Three-Hour Session: Putting Your Portfolio Together In Session Nine, we will show you the best way to trade the CORE methods as one cohesive unit. You will not only benefit from the research that Connors Research Group has done on how these are best used, but also from Steve's own experience as a professional trader and money manager. We are planning to make this a very comprehensive seminar which will provide you with a long-range edge with our The CORE methods as well as any other trading methods you current use. Here are topics that we will cover: How to maximize your returns by minimizing your expenses. -- There are very few guarantees that can be made in this business. But one thing that can be guaranteed is that lower expenses mean greater returns for you at the end of the year. In this session, we will teach you ways to lower your expenses...a few of which only a few top professional traders know and use. The best way to manage your money when using multiple methods. -- We will teach you how to achieve superior performance by ensuring that you have strict control over position sizes, intraday risk, overnight risk, and sector exposure. You will learn what to do when you see signals from multiple methods, how to make adjustments based upon correlated system exposure, the intelligent use of stops, and much, much more. Session 10 Special Three-Hour Session: How To Structure Your Trading Like A Business Are you absolutely, unequivocally driven to become a profitable and successful trader? It doesn't matter whether you want to trade part-time or venture into full-time trading...one of the most intelligent and essential steps you can take is to structure your trading as a business. We will show you exactly how to do this during Session 10. You will learn: How the right business plan can help you become a more profitable trader. -- Some traders do not take the business of trading seriously and just focus on trading. They fall prey to the assumption that gross profits will take care of everything. But Steve will show you how this mentality can cut into your profits and the specific and immediate steps you can take to apply business principles to trading and maximize your returns. How to construct an integrated business plan that is designed for traders. -- We will give you a ready-made and easily customizable business plan template and checklist that enables you to control every cost and in some cases eliminate the "edge-eaters" that impact your profitability such as brokerage commissions, bad fills, data feeds, office rent, software, taxes and hardware. You'll also learn how much money is needed in order to get started and what you need to do to cover your living expenses. Setting specific target-driven goals. --Where do you want to be in your trading one year from now? Once your trading business is set up, you'll be ready to take it to the next level and position yourself for steady growth of your trading business for years to come. And to ensure that you are capable of accomplishing this, we will work with you to set your specific goals and plan out how our 7 weeks together in this course can get you there. Trading part-time vs. trading full-time. -- The CORE methods are structured so that they can be traded successfully part- or full-time. In section, Steve will provide you with his own insights on how he made the transition from part- to full-time trader and money manager. TWO WEEKS OF LIVE TRADING Sessions 11 - 14 Live Trading With Steve Primo For the final two weeks of the college, you'll not only continue to watch Steve trade live on a daily basis, but you will be able to trade along with him, as long as you fully understand all of the risk factors that we will have discussed during the previous weeks. During our remaining weekly live sessions together, Steve will go deeper into individual trade sequences so that you will get a true sense of what it is like to trade these methods on your own, whether you decide to trade them part-time or full time.

Questions And Answers About The CORE

Q: Is The CORE 100% systematic?

A: Yes. The CORE's rules generate buy and sell signals automatically, without requiring you to analyze the markets or interpret patterns to find trading opportunities and enter them. The same is true after you've entered a position. No matter what may occur in the markets, The CORE will enable you to exit your position automatically. Just execute your signals and forget about it the rest of the day until it is time to check for new signals in the evening.

Q: How much trading knowledge do I need to be able to successfully trade The CORE?

A: While the methodology is easy to learn, we do recommend that you have at least two years of trading under your belt in order to maximize the knowledge you will get out of this course. And if you are an advanced trader, remember that the The CORE does not approach the market according to any of the popular theories or assumptions. You may have to "unlearn" some of your beliefs about the markets. Fortunately, we have the statistics and academic research to help you through the unlearning process.

Q: What kinds of testing techniques were used to develop and verify The CORE's performance?

A: Many of the testing techniques used to develop The CORE are proprietary. They were developed and tested by The Connors Research Group, which includes two MIT graduates and a professional trader who was a software design engineer for Microsoft Excel.

Q: Will The CORE Methods continue to work in the future?

A: No one can guarantee that any method or strategy will continue to perform as it has in the past. We can say, however, that we have the confidence to trade these methods ourselves. Nor would we have any hesitation in teaching these methods to close family members.

Q: Can you give me an example of a Performance Summary of one of The CORE Method?

A: Yes. Here's one on the S&P 500 cash market for the past decade. Steve will be teaching this method early in the program and show you how you can not only apply this to the SPYs and QQQQs, but also to use it to swing trade stocks and trade OEX options.

Avg. Bars in Total Trades	5.99
Avg. Bars in Winning Trades	5.05

Q: Is it possible that the number of people using the method could impact The CORE's performance?

This is not likely to happen because, for the time being, we are limiting the number of people who are able to purchase The CORE Methods to 45 to start. Also, these methods are designed to work on highly liquid and widely traded vehicles such as the big cap stocks, the SPYs, QQQQs, and the E-minis. Nevertheless, to ensure that performance is not diminished, will we closely monitor the ease of getting fills when there are multiple users of our methods entering and exiting simultaneously.

Space Is Strictly Limited To Only 45 Traders
Reserve Your Spot Before This Limit Is Reached
