Dr. Dean Consults Publications Evaluations
CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations unlike actual performance record: simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or overcompensated of the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No presentation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those predicted or shown.
The risk of loss in trading commodity futures and options can be substantial. Before trading, you should carefully consider your financial position to determine if futures trading is appropriate. When trading futures and/or options, it is possible to lose more than the full value of your account. All funds committed should be risk capital. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
There are 3 areas that may help you succeed
Dr. Dean's Consultation: In 2009 I paid $6500 to Traders Advantage for education; in 2010 $3995 to the TradeDesk for education; both failed me. So I know that frustration. The futures trade industry is massive (1508 rooms) and growing at about 300 new rooms per year (comprehensive Directory available). I offer four different consultations on futures trading: Expert Consultation; Train You on the Titans; Train You on Phalanx Trading and Trade as I Trade. These will absolutely help you avoid the mistakes I made, trade with purpose based on analysis and math.
Global Trade Titans: Of the 1508 rooms or sites I have evaluated in the last 7 years, I have found only 10 rooms that trade truthfully, transparently and profitably (detailed on Titan Section). I call these rooms Trade Titans and trading with them puts you at the 99 percentile of performance with head traders that are patient and trust worthy. For each Titan there is an executive summary to review.
Bad for Traders & Good for Traders The futures trade industry is saturated with sites that sell useless, defective or worthless products and services. This section contains over 30 videos and many publications that evaluation hundreds of rooms - the very worse to the very best. Read and review and learn from my experiences.

Dr. Dean's Consultation: In 2009 I paid $6500 to Traders Advantage for education; in 2010 $3995 to the TradeDesk for education; both failed me. So I know that frustration. The futures trade industry is massive (2268 rooms that I know of and have evaluated) and growing at about 300 new rooms per year (comprehensive Directory available). I offer four different consultations on futures trading: Expert Consultation; Train You on the Titans; Train You on Phalanx Trading and Trade as I Trade.

Enlightened Futures Trading publications: Of the 2268 rooms or sites I have evaluated in the last 9 years, I have found only 11 rooms that trade truthfully, transparently and profitably (detailed on Titan Section). I have published extensive evaluations on performance, pullback entries, methods to maximize profits and how to evaluate the influence of time on trading performance. These papers are listed in this section.
Trade room videos: Here I have evaluated over 200 different rooms for their performance, truthfulness and ability to trade. In fact of the 2268 rooms/sites, about 99% of all rooms are sales rooms - not trade rooms. As all vendor/no trader, I drag this into the light for your understanding and evaluation and focus on those rooms that actually trade.

Train You On The Titans: 60 minute session - $249.00
I have evaluated 2338 trade rooms in 9 years but I recommend only 5 rooms - about 1 per every 467 rooms! I call these room Trade Titans and this is a huge benefit to you: trading with any of them puts you at the 99 percentile of accomplishment. But which of the 5 Titans is best for your needs and trade choices? I will customize Titan selection that are best aligned with your trade choices and mandates. Consider which Titans will meet your needs if you:
Targets Trading Pro robots can be programmed to trade several different types of instruments with several different settings. One setting is called the Originals and these bots have been performing for over two years. The next set of settings are called Accelerated Growth robots, the next set are called Cruiser Class robots and the final set is called Funded Trader robots. I have extensive real time paper trading results for all four systems and can offer you guidance on how to structure and set up your robots to emulate those that we have in the members area.

This class of BOTs was predicated on the ides that magnified profitability might be discovered within an array of 50-60 BOTS, each with small yet specific differences in settings (i.e. fine tuning). My assumption was that clusters of small changes might translate to greater profits only seen over time using forward walk evaluations.

Time Range Trading for Funded original BOTs & the NQ 1 min
Time Range Trading is a strategy that recognizes that time has sovereign control over trade profitability. I look at the average daily P/L for each individual index based on forward walk real time trading for each of the five days of the week (diurnal variation) and I further stratify each day according to pre-market trades and U.S. market trades (circadian rhythm). I evaluate the previous 4, 8 and 16 weeks collective averages for continuity of profitability (fractal analysis). This allows me to view which indices are worthy of trading and when. I also run a subset analysis on trades to go to target one and then pull back to entry and ask & answer the question: is it better to use break even or to hold for target, again stratified by shorts or longs.The performance differences can be stunning and form the basis of Time Range Trading.
THIS IS A MATHEMATICAL SUMMARY INDICATING STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESS OVER TIME – NOT FOR PREDICATING THE EXACT OUTCOME OF EACH TRADE
All data is forward walk, not back test. $200 per month complete data analysis on all 5 days, by time frames, broken down by index as well as break even analysis on all indices. New analysis for the forthcoming week generated every other Sunday evening.

TTP BOT Time Based Trading contextualizes daily P/L for each index (tabulating buys vs. sells separately) tracked for each of the 5 days of the week. This permits P/L review of long term (~50 past Mondays), shorter term (8 Mondays) and most recent (previous 4 Mondays). One can see if profitability remains strong right on up the current trading day, and if strength is found in buys, sells or both. Below, YM shows significant profitability on Weds but the opposite on Thurs. GC is a chronically losing trade on Mon but consistently very profitable on Weds. You can purchase a PDF MTA analysis of 4 indices (GC, NQ, YM, ES) that is useful and relevant for 2 weeks.

WHO ARE THE TITANS
From my room evaluations and experiences, I coined the term Global Trade Titans that are trade sites/rooms that:
-
trade truthfully (they post a detailed truthful track record);
-
trade transparently (trade entries, targets and stops are show in real time trade execution) and
-
trade profitability (they net more than $50,000 per year on a 3 contract per trade basis).
From the 2338 rooms I have evaluated, I have found only 4 Trade Titans. For each that I find, I spend many weeks or months in each room, authenticating trades and postings, validating transparency and tracking for truthfulness. For these few rooms,I recommend them as Global Trade Titans and award the Titan icon. Many rooms that were recommended have been dropped as detailed (Dropped Rooms).
