All The Tools You Need To Build A Successful Online Futures Trading Business
In this video, we will show you how a 10% move in the stock market can return 100% to a trader on the correct side of the move, up or down. Of course, this can result in large losses if you are on the wrong side. That, fundamentally, is why we do what we do.
Trading can be fun and rewarding... so is helping others!

OUR ONLINE VIDEO/TEXT COURSES
Alpha Traders Academy
Take control of your Index Futures Trading with these comprehensive video/text courses. You might be able to find free YouTube videos that could help, but it will likely be disorganized and far less comprehensive than what we provide. What will that search cost you in time/money?
Also, our founder/instructor, David Burdick, has been trading stock index futures since 1984 while a VP of a major brokerage firm when trading futures was only in trading pits. To see pit trading in action, watch the very funny 1983 movie, Trading Places, with Eddie Murphy.
David has seen it all, and he has done it all. In 1986 he even helped raise $50 million in trading capital for the first Drexel Burnham futures trading pool managed by the legendary trader, Richard Dennis. He was up 50% in less than six months so Drexel raised another $200 million.
David was concerned about it being too much money to manage well, so he pulled his clients' funds to see how Dennis handled the pressure of the larger size. Good move because Dennis lost 50% over the next six months. Psychology can wreak havoc on even the best superstars.
This website is new, but David has traded S&P 500 index fututes since 1984.
