The most frequently asked E=MC²questions:

1. What experience is required to trade E=MC² - E=MC² is for the beginning and experienced trader alike. A less experienced trader will benefit because of less preconceived notions about trading. A more experienced trader will benefit from understanding and appreciating all the powerful principles incorporated in the E=MC² Method.  If you have never traded before, you will have to familiarize yourself with the basics of the E-Mini market, Charting, Order Entry, etc.. Once this foundation is in place, E=MC² is truly for every type of trader who wants to learn a unique approach that puts you in great position to trade successfully for a lifetime!

2. Is E=MC² a mechanical system? - The best answer is yes and no.  Most mechanical systems are the result of computer optimized back-tested data and therefore do not adapt well to changing market environments going forward.  The strength of these systems is that they provide a level of consistent execution.  E=MC² combines the best of two worlds.  You must consistently apply a set of rules, but these rules adapt to changing market conditions!  To this end, E=MC² carries the "scientific" strengths of mechanical systems, and the "art" strengths of learning how to trade, and trading becomes dynamic as each day brings its own unique set of developments to the table.

3. Will I duplicate the performance of the track record exactly?  You might find this answer to be a surprise but the answer is “NO.”  Although the track record lists every trade that sets up in order from the beginning of the trading session to the end, the track record is designed to provide a "blueprint" for you to see the positive expectations for the E=MC2 approach.  There will be times you will miss trades, bypass trades due to big picture analysis, hold on to trades in certain conditions to provide gains much larger than the track record.  You will often take much smaller losses as well (i.e. - Trade Management described in Vol 2)  There will be both positive and negative slippage in terms of exact entry and exit price, etc. 

4. How long will it take to master E=MC²? - The E=MC²Method is not difficult to learn, but it will take some time to master the integration of tying together mechancial signals with big picture and developing intra-day market struture.  The overall philosophy and tactics of the E=MC² approach are presented in a very clear and concise manner.  That said, there will certainly be a learning curve associated with successfully putting E=MC² into use.  In almost every case, the most difficult part of successful implementation will have to do with the conviction to enter the trades when E=MC² signals develop in front of you. This may sound simple to overcome, but it is not.  It is a human nature issue for virtually every trader, regardless of the method being traded. You will master E=MC² only when you can trade the E=MC² signals without hesitation, or fear, when they develop!

5. How much time is required to trade E=MC²? - E=MC² is designed for both the full-time and part-time trader.  By no means will you have to sit in front of your computer screen at every moment of the day, nor should you.  It is actually quite important to take frequent breaks to clear your mind while trading in order to maintain a fresh perspective on price action as it unfolds during the trading session.  

You will have plenty of time to attend to other matters during the trading day.  Great signals develop all day long with E=MC².  It takes just seconds to check the screen to see if E=MC² trades are developing, and it is easy to anticipate the times you will need to get ready to act.  The bottom line is E=MC² offers tremendous flexibility, and caters to traders who prefer to trade often , and to traders who prefer to be more selective, or don't have the time to trade all day.

6. Does the E=MC² track record reflect real, or simulated trading results? - The E=MC² track record reflects all of the actual mechanical trades that develop each day, applying the E=MC² trading rules listed in the book.  The track record lists every possible trade setup for the day, but the goal is NOT to take every mechanical signal!  The E=MC² books discuss in great detail the highest probability setups to take, and why.  For instance, the highest probability C1 trades  are always the first ones that develop in a new short-term trend.  The highest probability C2 trades always take place when a clear higher timeframe trend is in place.  When a trend day develops you need to look for one main C3 signal.  When Intra-day Chop forms you need to cut back on signals, etc.etc.  The track record highlights fills based on the closing price of the entry/exit price bar in question.  The results posted in the E=MC² track record shows the tremendous potential this method offers.  Most traders do not take every trade signal listed on the track record.  No two traders will ever trade the E=MC²exactly the same, because every trader has their own trading style, personality and comfort level, etc.  Again, this is a strength of E=MC² - a flexible approach that can be used by all types of traders. 

7.  Why does E=MC² cost less than other approaches?  Is E=MC² not as good as other trading methods?  I had to think long and hard about answering this question appropriately, because I really want everyone to understand this.  I’ve been at this for a long time, and have worked with many of the other methods out there.  I can truly say I’ve seen it all- from books, to courses, to trading rooms, to monthly subscriptions, to everything in between. 

Here are the facts as i see them. There is no one best way to trade, and there is certainly no Holy Grail  to Trading Success.  Many approaches can work, but you need to be consistent and do a lot of things right (trade management, execution, trading plan, etc.).

Also, you need to find an approach that fits your style and personality.  That’s why we show such a large sample size of  trades for this method.  If these types of trades  don’t seem to fit your style, or risk tolerance level, etc., then this method may not be for you, plain and simple.  For instance, maybe you prefer to swing trade in longer timeframes and not trade in and out so fast during the day.  There is no right or wrong answer.

The strength of E=MC² as a day trading approach is that it offers something for everyone.  You can trade as frequent, or infrequent as you desire.  You can trade with a single contract set or a multiple contract set and scale out if you like.  Every option is explained in the books, and every trader can take the same consistent, structured material and make it his or her own. 

One of the biggest goals here is to tell you the truth about trading as I see it - the easy parts, the difficult parts, etc.  The E=MC² books are filled with much of this information .  Such information would have helped me greatly when starting out, and I know how valuable this information is for all traders.

So the story is this.  I know I have something valuable to provide to those who aspire to trade successfully.  I would never have written books on trading if I didn’t believe in it 100%. 

I enjoy seeing traders succeed, getting positive feedback, etc. from compiling years of hard earned experience into material that I know can help make anyone a successful trader.  Most important, I know that anyone who buys E=MC² and commits to putting it to proper use, will likely make their investment back many, many,  times over!  

I would actually feel very guilty if this didn’t happen for anyone who purchased this material.  So I am trying to lay everything on the line in every way I can think of, with regard to what E=MC2 trading is, and with regard to what E=MC2 trading can offer. 

When I used to consider buying trading information I would ask myself  "Is it somethng I can use on my own, and not be attached to the seller for the rest of my life, either though continued subscription rates, or black box approaches that put me at the sellers mercy." 

I was never comfortable with any of these conditions, and I didnt want to turn E=MC² into that type of product, because learning to trade sucessfully doesn't require the continued cost of $$$, but instead requires the continued cost of committment once you have a solid trading plan in place.

So that is where things stand, and my only hope is E=MC² can contribute to your trading success...
