In this presentation, Mark reveals how he uses common sense and hard work in just the right proportions to dramatically improve his trading success. After viewing this tape, you'll come away with a realistic perspective on how much money you can expect to earn with your trading and how much time you'll need to spend to achieve your goals.

Avoiding Trading Mistakes

Whether you are a novice or an experienced trader, sometimes the markets leave you feeling like either an idiot, a moron or both. Trading professional Mark Cook shows you how to conquer trading mistakes and get back on the right track. In his workshop he shows you what to do when your winning percentage drops, how to adjust position size for different trading environments and how to build your confidence. His methods will help you achieve trading consistency but, should your capital erode, his insights will also show you how to rebuild your capital base.

How to Lose Money Profitably

Mark brings twenty-four years of experience to this thought-provoking session, intended for those who aspire to the six to seven figure incomes of the professional trader. Mark will describe his famous, widely published "Cook Cumulative Tick", an overbought-oversold indicator which draws on correlations between the S&P 500, T-Bonds and the S&P 100 Index Options (OEX). He will also detail the important concept of winning versus losing trade percentages and why strict adherence to trading details turns a losing trader into a consistently profitable one. Mark is known for his frankness and will emphasize the intense nature of the business and the tough world of the professional trader.

So You Want to Be a Professional Trader

Mark Cook believes that anyone who trades should approach the endeavor with the discipline and commitment of a professional. Those who do not will lose out to those who do. In this dynamic workshop, Mark discusses the three elements he considers crucial to successful trading: commitment, planning, and most importantly, creating trading habits that work with your personality. Mark will show you how to factor your emotions into your decision-making process, rather than denying or sublimating them. Planning, of course, is the objective part of trading. Mark points out the importance of considering worst-case scenarios before entering a trade, as well as the need to know when you are wrong. Getting out, retreating, and living to fight another day may seem like cowardly approaches, but they will keep you from the trader's obituary. Mark will provide you with a set of several daily trading rules which he has developed over a day-trading career spanning twenty-two years. Using these rules, he will show you that trading is actually a composite of the many ebbs and flows occurring at different times of the day, and that your potential success depends entirely upon your own ability and dedication. Mark will share with you his personal strategies and techniques, including the Cook Cumulative Tick™, an overbought-oversold indicator that draws on correlations between the S&P 500, T-bonds, and the S&P 100 Index options (OEX). Finally, Mark will show you how you can adapt his tactics to your own personal trading style.
