========= Daytrading in the News - Choose Your Education Wisely

The cards are on the table and All-Tech has lost this round. On June 13, 2001, All-TechDirect Inc. and its Chief Executive, Harvey I. Houtkin, agreed to pay a total of $525,000 in fines to resolve the NASD's allegations.

The NASD felt it was misleading for the firm's print and radio ads to make the claim that "perhaps three in 10" people taught by All-Tech to daytrade would succeed.

All-tech, was a large force in bringing new traders to the markets with the promise that they could "train" one to successfully follow the markets and become a winning daytrader in only a few week's time.

The hunger for get rich quick information is pervasive in our society. It is easier to sell dreams than reality.

Experienced traders will tell you they learn something every single trading session: something about themselves, something about the markets. You don't take a single class and suddenly become a daytrader any more than any other profession can be learned in a week or two.

Seminars are great for generating ideas for further study and learning of other resources to help further your education.

Listening to a speaker in a crowded room, elbowing your way to the front, and perhaps being lucky enough to actually ask a question is reserved for only a few at a busy seminar. When the brief answer leads to another question, which you have no opportunity to ask, this leads to the seminar frustration, and frustrates the learning experience.

The greatest value and benefit of a seminar is in the hand outs you bring home. They can be expensive hand outs.

If you are considering spending a few thousand dollars for a few day's trading, consider instead working for a few months with a private mentor for about the same investment.

Only a select few will have the advantage of our mentoring program. A professional, highly skilled and successful daytrader will become your ally, and guide you toward profitable daytrading in the shortest period of time. Someone to answer your questions, someone to advise you of things they discovered the hard way. Why blaze your own trail when the path has already been worn by those that have gone before?

We can help fine tune your own techniques or teach you ours. We offer an affordable solution - yet, as I mentioned, only a few are willing to do the hard work necessary to be successful as daytraders. Are you willing to work to become a successful daytrader?

Our Mentoring service is very successful, with traders reporting great gains. Our typical client is from one month to one year, with the majority staying for six months. If you believe in yourself and are willing to work hard, we
will work with you to achieve any goals you have set for yourself.

If you'd like to be considered, please see the Daytrader's Mentor site for more information http://www.daytradersmentor.com or call us at 360-695-3184. Space is limited as we are working one-on-one.

=========== Real-time Signals, S&P E-mini Futures
         and Nasdaq Futures

The market has changed and so has our trading. We are now trading the S&P with a longer-term outlook (still daytrading), and our signals are much more appropriate for E-mini trading. If you are trading the S&P E-mini, take a trial.

All new free trials to the Real-time Signals have access to both the
S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 Signals. You will also receive the Overnight Updates for both markets. Request your trial today. (We require at least 6 months between free trials).

========= Mind & Money - Change Personal History

Do you blame your past for your present? Are there memories you'd just as soon leave behind, or are you interested in creating new memories?

Your brain believes every word you say, and cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined. For this reason it is relatively simply to change events in your own memory and diffuse them, or actually create new
experiences for yourself.

Read "Change Personal History - Mind Games for Daytrading"
and let us know your thoughts.

For help with the psychological and mental aspects of daytrading contact Kathryn Martyn, NLP Practitioner or see the Daytrader's Mentor for more details.

========== Software & Computer Tips - TradersBulletin.com

Featured Freeware: KillAds (kills Popup ad windows)

Today we're taking a look at one annoying aspect of the Internet which seems to be getting progressively worse: Popup Windows

KillAds - I'm bothered by windows that pop up in my face when I reach a site, or attempt to leave a site. They are nearly 100% useless and I must then click to close them. This utility closes them for you. If you like a sound file can play alerting you to the crashing windows, but frankly it plays so often you'll probably
turn it off.
