Trading when you have a full-time job

Good Morning!

I hope your day is going well.

You know, I often get emails from people telling me they have
a full time job and asking if they can still make money trading
when they can't be at the computer constantly throughout the day.

What I tell them often shocks them.

The fact is you may be able to make more money trading a few
minutes a day, using end of day charts, than trading full time!

Here's how I know;

When I first started trading for a living, I needed to make a
profit on a daily basis to put food on the table for myself
and my young daughter.

The way it worked is; I would rent a terminal from my broker,
and then sit at that terminal and trade all day. If I had a
profit at the end of the day, I would sell some stock, and
then pick up a check for my profits three or four days later
when the transactions "settled."

If I didn't show a profit on Tuesday, we ate macaroni on
Friday. (Thank God for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. For about
75 cents we both had full bellies and my daughter loved it!)

When I turned 60 I retired from full time trading, and one of
the first things I learned is that you don't have to spend
all day in front of a computer to make big money trading.

For the last couple of years I have been trading the S&P 500
eMini and the Euro (EUR/USD) on an end-of-day basis. I make
very few trades, and I am now making as much or more money
being "retired" than I did trading full time.

Best of all, I am not spending my life "chained" to a
computer.

Please click on the link below to look at the daily chart of
the S&P 500 from this morning.

I've applied my DecisionBar Software with the default
settings. That's all I use. As you can see, the last trade
I made was on September 2, 2010. I am still in that trade,
and so far it is showing a profit of over 240 points. At $50
per point per contract, you can do the math.

All I have to do is check the chart once a day. Who says you
can't make money trading when you have a full time job?

I've proven that is NOT true.

The link below is to a current, end of day chart of the Euro.

I'm not going to detail every trade, but all you have to know
is that green arrows are Buy Signals and Red arrows are Sell
Signals.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this is
another chart that you could be making money on just trading
on an end-of-day basis, checking the chart only once a day.

If you've been putting off getting started trading with
DecisionBar because you have a full-time job, or can't spend
your whole day in front of a computer, please don't waste
another minute.

P.S. One thing day-traders never seem to pick up on (myself
included) is that you can make more money holding a trend
than trading a trend.

It's all explained on my website at:
