Small Account Futures Trader? Learning to Scalp is a MUST!!

Wednesday, March 07, 2018 4:30PM EDT
Presenter: Dr. Bill McDowell of BillsRoom


When transitioning from sim to real money trading, especially with a small account, you need a way to avoid blowing your account — a common problem for most of us. Learning to ‘Scalp-First’ solves this problem. Mastering this methodology, first in sim, and then in real money trading, results in virtually no losing days — forever.

Most unsuccessful traders find ‘virtually no losing’ days hard to believe, which is quite understandable. That's why anyone interested in joining us first communicates privately with traders in our room who’ve been doing this, some months, some years. In our room you never trade real money unless you achieve this consistently.


SCALP-FIRST: This is a special form of scalping that offers the option to trend trade after you’re in the trade, since most all trends begin with a scalping opportunity, i.e., you automatically get into all the trend trades whether or not you opt to ‘stay in’. Furthermore, you develop your own no losing days ‘Scalp-First’ trading plan. Once you’ve mastered this skill as a foundation, first in sim then transitioning to real money trading, you can opt to add other elements to your trading plan that work for you — of course, making sure they aren’t detrimental to your profitability.


HUGE PROBLEM: Outside of BillsRoom, essentially, no one teaches scalping skills. Why? Because much individual mentoring is required. Thus it’s difficult for a mentor to make much money from fees most traders can afford to pay. You need a mentor like me who’s a very successful trader first and who truly enjoys helping students succeed even though there’s relatively little money in it. You're likely aware that most of those who make lots of money from traders are selling ‘quick money’ stuff that doesn't work.


DUE DILIGENCE REQUIRED: You must verify all that is stated here. You do so by visiting BillsRoom where you’ll meet 6-7 figure real money Master Traders and those learning to be such. These students will share their trading results in the room and privately tell you about getting extensive mentoring over an extended period of time, literally years for some, from not only me but all of the other Master Traders in the room — without any additional fees. You never pay more than $5500 for a lifetime of room access and full support. (You can begin with the Basic Course for $3000.) My students and I suggest that you think of becoming a Master Trader as a lifetime profession, whether you do it part or full time.


THE 3 SKILLS NEEDED: ‘Scalp-First’ trading requires learning 3 skills, one for entries, one for Post Entry Trade Management (PETM) and one for judging when the ‘risk of loss’ is high. The latter skill is the most important one and it consists in developing the right scalping mindset. Again, this is something almost no one else teaches. All 3 skills are based on Reading-The-Bars (RTB) in real time price actions as well as past history on multiple time frame charts. It's being ‘in-tune’ with the market or ‘Trading in the Zone’ as described in the classic book by Mark Douglas. With the ‘Right Scalp-First Mindset’ you ‘see and follow’ Real-Time-Price-Action ‘TELLS’ at the ‘far-right-edge’ bar formation and in the execution DOM. Unlike most all unsuccessful traders it’s done without relying primarily on ‘predicting’ using past-data indicators! These ‘TELLS’ indicate either to proceed, or to bail on entries or PETM.


PROBLEM RESTATED: If you’re not a consistently successful trader and come to understand the advantages of a ‘Scalp-First’ approach, you likely will have to retrain your brain because you’ve adopted ‘ineffective predictive concepts’ that are behind almost everything (likely 99%) promoted and sold to traders — and don’t work. Below is one student’s ‘Journey’ disclosure with whom you will speak with in person—in addition to any other students — should you opt to visit our trading room, BillsRoom. In fact, he usually attends these Webinars and unlike any other room Private Messaging is always an option for all.


INVITATION TO THIS WEBINAR & FREE SATURDAY SESSIONS: This Webinar is a one hour introduction to the ‘Scalp-First’ method of trading wherein we describe the way you master the 3 necessary skills. The following Saturday in my trading room, BillsRoom, I take much more time to informally reveal all the details of this methodology welcoming questions and discussions. Some students usually attend and participate in the discussions—and Private Messaging is always available. These free Saturday Sessions are held every Saturday beginning at NOON Eastern and you are welcome to join for any of the time that’s convenient for you. Contact me at: [email protected] for access instructions to BillsRoom on this day. Free recordings of all Webinars and Saturday Sessions are also available by email request.


   

One Traders Journey:
   (Sheep & Cattle farmer in Wales, UK)

   

“I've made a decision as a payback to what Dr Bill has taught me, I'm going to write a realistic trading plan, which will follow the journey and path to where I am now. It’s not even fully written yet, but is summarized here.
   

I really feel the results I show are overwhelming for most people and to some probably unrealistic - and also some may even feel it's maybe bullshit, (excuse my language).

   

Believe me, these results are unreal to myself even, the figures I show in the weekly results at one time I could previously only dream about. I’m not particularly clever or academic, which just shows anything is possible with hard work.
   

I also understand every person is different with very different goals and aspirations, I understand most people have family and work commitments where time is such a relevant issue.

   

To give you some realistic figures, the initial goal was to make 1000 British pounds (per week) - which equates to roughly $250USD/day. The goal was to supplement the farm business, it was not unrealistic at the time, (and not an insignificant extra additional income for so many folks). I can show you the daily goals I set for myself - and how they changed over time. These goals are still changing on a weekly basis. I must also stress it will not be an easy journey, but with Dr Bill’s, myself - and other traders with far more experience than I, were always available to help - and did help, all along the way.

   

I had lots of issues on my path to where I am now - namely emotional issues, when going from sim to real money trading. I will share more in the detailed Trading Plan.

   

By now I suppose I'm lucky to have more time to do this as I'm coming up to retirement. Life is a journey, a long journey - but as you get older, you soon realize that you have to make the most of that journey.

   

If you decide not to take this further and follow another path to becoming a trader, I wish you every success, and can I also just say that I have nothing to gain by promoting Dr Bill’s Course. This is my payback for his help, period.”    ~Ed



DATE: Wednesday, March 7th
TIME: 4:30PM ET / 3:30PM CT / 1:30PM PT

During the more than a dozen years of full time trading and teaching — 11 years every day in BillsRoom during marekt hours in addition to a free public session every Saturday at Noon Eastern — I’ve communicated with numerous successful private traders who weren’t selling anything and ALL have said that they developed their own Trading Plans, albeit, they sometimes give credit for key parts of their plan to things they picked up from one or more ‘sources’. Bottom line, they alone put together the plan elements that turned out to work successfully for them. Importantly, they did not blindly follow precisely how some guru trader trades. Let me suggest that only when you’re ready to take full responsibility for developing your own Trading Plan that MINIMIZES ENTRY LOSERS AND PETM LOSSES, will you THEN begin to understand what it really takes to become a successful futures day trader, one that doesn’t blindly follow the ‘guru’s’ entries.



Students in BillsRoom follow a process that provides the best opportunity to discover the Right Mindset and to develop individualized successful trading plans. Students and I get into many of the same winning moves and losing trades but entry prices and times are often different. Students tell me that you won’t likely find any other room where you can follow such a learning process where you end up a totally independent 6 or 7-figure Master Trader with virtually no losing days. Furthermore, these successful traders will help you follow the same path they did as you develop your successful Trading Plan—at no extra cost. Why would they do this? Other Master Traders did it for them as they were learning and they’re now ‘giving back’—possibly to you. Traders please wake up to the fact that buying a ‘quickie path to success’ doesn’t work. Success only comes by taking this ROAD LESS TRAVELED in developing you own trading plan whether in my room, elsewhere or on your own.



Before opting to join us you will have the opportunity to visit BillsRoom and check us out including making personal contacts (phone & email) with any and all students you choose thereby getting their stories. (See some below.) You’ll witness these 6 or 7-figure traders trade day-in and day-out with virtually no losing days. Furthermore, you will see posts of their results in the various markets they trade in all market conditions. (NQ,YM,ES,TF,6E,6B,6J,NG,CL,GC,DAX) In doing so you will discover how these traders all followed the same ‘defined scalp-first process’ that led to their success.


SPECIAL NOTE: You’re always welcome to login to BillsRoom for our free weekly review and informal Q&A session every Saturday @ NOON Eastern. There you often have a chance to meet and Private Message some of these successful students. Please Contact: [email protected] for access. (Unlike most any other room in the world or trading we are totally transparent so you can PM anyone in the room and I’m totally unaware.)



FREE 4 HOUR VIDEO: If you register for this Webinar you will receive a link to a 5-hour instructional recording with all the details of our ‘defined scalp-first process’ of learning how to develop you own successful Trading Plan. Consider this Webinar to be an introduction to the video.


OTHER STUDENTS SUCCESS STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS: Here are several student 'stories' all of which you can confirm in personal phone and email communications as well as public and private text messaging when you visit BillsRoom before joining. (They often attend Webinars and Saturday Sessions where you can also engage in private message communications.) During your visit you'll also witness everyone trading, posting trade data and answering posed questions that give you a clear understanding of how each of us trades and how we're doing throughout each day— from 8 AM to 4 PM Eastern. You will verify that, not some, but all master traders are achieving 6 or 7-Figure performance with virtually no losing days as well as performance levels of those 'on the path to success'.


#1 - D.M.

  ❝I am currently a master real money trader beginning January of 2013. I trade 12 instruments, ZB,NG,ES, TF,NQ,YM,DAX, NG,GC,6E,CL,6B 23 hours a week (Mon - Fri 8 to 11AM and 2 days week 1 to 4PM) additionally. My winning percentage is over 85%, with average daily net profit exceeding net losses by over 3X.

     Since early 2016 I've had my trading account linked to 3 additional linked accounts that bring my total profits (losses) to 4X what I see in my primary live 6-figure account. My goal for 2017 is to become a certified CTA and manage other people's money in a managed futures account.

     I started my training with Dr. Bill in May of 2012 starting with his Basic Course. After spending about 5 months mastering this course with highly structured trading rules for stock index and currency futures in sim only trading I decided to move on to the Advanced Course that focuses initially on mastering CL trading. The reason I did was to get more trade opportunities per week. After about 3 months I began transitioning to real money trading beginning my transition to real money CL trading in January of 2013 with a very conservative trading plan. Over the next 6 months I successively transitioned back forth to sim trading 3 times with successive modifications to my trading plan until I became a consistent winning trader day in and day out. I focused on mastering 3 trades types well practicing them over and over in both Market Replay, and live market trading.

     When I was training to become a master trader I spent most full days in BillsRoom and then performed market replay trading an additional 2 hours most nights. Also I viewed the course training videos, asked tons of questions in the room and by email, and attended weekly Dr. Bill's after-market mentoring sessions where I received personal mentoring — who by the way is a proven high 88% winning trader day in and day out, year in and year out.

     If you consistently show up open minded and understand you will not learn to be consistent trader in just a month or two, you can become a master trader like I did. The only difference between you and me is TIME!!!! Dr. Bill has the uncanny ability to teach and trade his own account live in room. He is very patient, prompt in his responses back to you and thorough. He's willing to go over the same thing over and over until the light bulb goes on. He takes great pride in seeing his students succeed. He is quiet but realistic. If becoming a master trader was easy, all traders would be consistently profitable. Just like school you must learn before you earn, set realistic goals and then work hard to master the read the bars technique that Dr Bill teaches. He is a rare trader who walks the walk as a consistent winning trader who can teach you to become a master trader if you're WILLING to put all your baggage aside and start with open mind. I am not sure how long he will continue to teach, but I am completely independent of him and I am proud of that — and so is he, since this is his goal for students.

     I also enjoy the fellowship and mentoring other students in BillsRoom. The biggest challenge all of us share in the room is learning to let go of past trading education that did not work. The second biggest challenge is learning to release bias once in a trade. Getting wisdom of how to overcome fear and greed demons is huge as well. Learning to read context and focus on one trade at a time, learning to trust yourself and your results after thousands of trades. Developing a plan in sim and then transitioning to live money takes a lot of self confidence and you must find a style that suits your personality and risk tolerance. I am forever indebted to Dr. Bill that is why I like to give back by giving my time in the room. I encourage you to join us if trading is a passion of yours and want to become a consistently profitable trader day in and day out. I have only had 2 losing days this year and it has been more than 6 months since then. Today I was 20/1, 11/8/2016, (Election Day) when most traders probably did not even trade due to increased risk.❞


Here's a free download link to an interview I made with Dr. Bill soon after I became real money Master Trader


#2 - D.P.

  ❝I'm a Master 6 Figure real money trader in CL, NQ, YM, ES, GC, NG, 6E (90% of my trades are in CL & NQ). I've been trading real money since March 2015. I typically trade from 9 am - 2:30 PM EST averaging 25 to 30 hours per week. My Win/Loss averages 75% and my net profits average 3.5X my Net Losses. I've had no losing days in all my real money trading. (1 breakeven day early on).

     Prior to real money trading I sim traded for approx. 3 years, perfecting my skills at a pace I felt comfortable with. There were some interruptions due to managing a neck pain issue. I started out learning to trade the Forex Market in 2008. My early training gave me the foundation and understanding of how markets work. Learning the importance of Support & Resistance in trading has served me well, and is something I continue to use today.

     I struggled for a long time like most aspiring traders do. I decided that I needed to stop trying to create the wheel and find a trading community that was trading the way I liked to trade and offered the help and support I needed to reach my trading goal. I came to the realization that I didn't need to be good at trading a dozen different methods and/or changing methods every couple of days/weeks/months. I committed myself to getting really good at just one method of trading, and trading what I saw the easiest. This calmed me down and gave me the ability to focus and learn at a faster pace than ever before. Now I was in the game, becoming a serious player. As the small successes came, my confidence grew and I was able to transition to real money trading.

     Dr. Bill has been an excellent mentor. I honestly don't feel like I would have been able to make a successful transition to real money as early as I did (if at all) without his knowledge and help. As with any trading course out there, not everyone will agree as to which one is better than another. I suggest that you find one that agrees with your personality and style of trading. Fortunately for me, I found Dr. Bill and his trading room (BillsRoom) through a current student I had met elsewhere. I attended one of Bill's free Saturday sessions and new immediately that his method of trading was a perfect fit for me.

     One of the many great benefits of being a member of Bill's Trading Room is the knowledge and helps you receive from other students. Everyone has a genuine interest in you and your success. I took advantage of the opportunity this presented and met with several students throughout my learning process via phone conversations, Skype calls, and emails to discuss what they were doing, what was working for them and what was not. Having access to this close knit community of like minded traders is priceless.

     I'm a big believer in giving back and paying it forward. Over the past couple of years I have been helping other students in Bill's Room and will continue to do so.

     The training and help offered by Bill McDowell is top notch. He spends countless hours mentoring his small group of students while he trades throughout the day. As a part of Bill'sRoom you see the results of his trading as it happens. For example, he will say that he's long Oil, and then he tells you the details of the trade and when he's out. You see a chart in the room that shows you when/where he got into the trade and out of the trade. He offers weekly mentoring sessions to all of his students. His 2 courses include a rich knowledge based library of videos on every aspect of his trading method that students access as they progress through their individual learning plan.

     Final Thoughts: If trading is in your DNA and it hasn't happened for you yet the way you imagined it would, Don't Give Up! Stay persistent, believe in yourself and find a trading community that fits your personality - one that believes in you, and gives you the help and mentoring required to become a successful trader. Be thorough, and investigate several of the different trading courses that are out there. I personally feel that you'd be hard pressed to find one as good as the trading course/mentorship and community that Dr. Bill offers.❞

#3 - T.P.

  Master Advanced sim-trader, currently transitioning to real money trading - describing his room experience.

     ❝I have been a financial advisor for the past 30 years working for myself as well as other major financial institutions. In 2006, I created a patented longevity bond and worked with several large investment banks to bring my investment idea to market. When the financial crisis in 2008 hit, my investment banks could no longer work on my $1.2 billion project and was put on hold indefinitely. After this large financial setback, I realized that I needed to do something for my financial future that I could control and not be subject to the influences of the economy, government or large financial institutions.

     ❝I was introduced to futures trading in 2010 and began reading and watching everything that I could find on the internet and in books to learn the business as fast as possible. I have attended over 200 trading webinars and spent over $30,000 on trading indicators and trading classes. I have learned that most programs were either selling “Magical Trading Indicators” that were supposed to predict the direction of the market or had a trading method that would only work in certain market conditions and most had a high percentage of losses.

     ❝After being introduced to Dr. Bill’s program, I liked that he stressed learning to read the bars and charts as well as Post Entry Trade Management (PETM). I also found that his students achieved very few if any losing days. I have been with Dr. Bill’s program for two and a half years now and I have been able to master reading the bars as well as PETM. This has allowed me to have very few losing trades with few losing days in sim trading. I am now going live and am achieving the same results that I did in sim trading. In all my trading research over the past six years, I have never found anyone who is as successful and consistent as Dr. Bill. I would highly encourage anyone who is serious about trading to join Dr. Bill and master his method. It takes some time to learn but it is definitely worth it.


INVITATION: If you're not a consistently profitable trader, you're likely 'looking for trades in all the wrong places', to paraphrase the song. Perhaps for you it's just some of your trades that cause you too many losers. Unlike my students you likely haven't mastered RTB skills both for trade entries and post-entry-trade-management (PETM), along with the skill of knowing when 'not trading' is the right decision. Crucial concept: 'not trading is trading' and it's the most difficult thing to learn. This all means that unlike my students your average end-of-day losing trades aren't averaging less than 20%, your net losses aren't averaging less than half your net profits, and you have too many losing days.

Please join my students and me for this webinar - and the more detailed followup extended sessions on Saturdays at Noon Eastern. The Saturday sessions allow ample opportunity for Q & A, and usually a chance to meet and communicate with some of my students - who often attend these events. We're transparent in everything we do. Thus, 'private messaging' is always available — which i can't see. If you can't attend, free recordings are available simply by emailing a request to: [email protected].


Just contact Dr. Bill for free easy access to these Saturday Sessions - or free recordings, including this and prior Webinars at: [email protected].
