PLUS Important Building Blocks That Enhance Any Trading Method

Trading Methods

Method Courses

Trading Methods provide the core trading curriculum in Omni Trader University. It’s where “the (trading) rubber meets the road.”

While building the Methods concept, we had the following important goals in mind:

  1. Only teach high probability Trading Methods.
  2. Keep the Method as simple as possible.
  3. Provide support materials for instruction.
  4. Provide sufficient time to practice with the Method in interactive trading sessions.
  5. Record all instructional and trading sessions so students can watch again later.
  6. Provide direct feedback to students so they learn as they apply the Method.
  7. Provide an effective way for students to meet and interact with each other.

Trading Methods are not just a two-hour seminar - they are an entire regimen built around teaching students how to trade them, with mentoring and coaching during the process to ensure that everyone “passes” the class!

Following the presentation of the instructional material, students have the opportunity to learn while doing, as they trade with the Method.

Included Course Materials:

  • All Course content on CD including a Workbook for each Methods course.
  • Courses and Interactive Sessions are recorded so you can watch them at your convenience.

Interactive Trading Sessions

In these Trading Methods courses, we actually TRADE THE MARKETS each week, review ongoing trades and adjust positions, using the concepts taught in the course.

Following the procedures defined in the Method, we review candidates together, talk about specifics in each chart, and make trading decisions as a group. This way everyone can learn as the trades play themselves out in the market. And of course money management and portfolio balancing are all a part of the exercise. All sessions will be recorded and available on the O.T.U. website.
