I’m a fairly experienced trader with a background in stocks, currencies, and futures. I’ve worked with coaches in each field, and Tim’s one of only two people I’d recommend. He does a great job separating performance issues from strategy issues, and then works on measurable improvements in both through specific, concrete actions. I highly recommend working with him.
Tim and the great content he has created on Eminimind has been an enormous help to my trading career. I have been trading full time now for about a year and a half. When I found Tim’s site, joined his live streams, and went all in on learning his very simplified trading system, my own trading of the /ES has improved and is finally consistent. Now I have a trading system I am confident will work for a long and successful career, if I am able to keep my discipline and mindset consistent as well. Tim’s weekly emails are a big help in getting my mental side of this equation to place it needs to be.”
I really want to thank you again for mentoring me last year. The results have been incredible ever since, this year is the most profitable and consistent I have ever been. What really excelled me is taking your strategies and then molding them in a way that fits my trading style. Without your help I wouldn’t be where I am now.
If you feel like the road to becoming a successful trader has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs you’re not alone.

Whether you are new to futures trading, or been trading futures for years, it is imperative that you fully understand the fundamentals of how the market works. Here I’ve outlined some basic concepts along with specific details of the S&P500 (SP) and the E-mini S&P (ES).
The main reason people fail at a new venture is a lack of experience. Entering the world of trading, you are up against the best and brightest minds in the world that have years and year of experience on top of you. The #1 tool that can help speed up the learning curve is the implementation and use of a trading journal.

Price speculation has been around for hundreds of years; long before the existence of electronically traded markets like the NASDAQ and CME Globex. Ironically the fundamentals of trading have not changed, what has changed are the vehicles in which we use to trade.
