Learn how pro traders take consistent profits from the e-mini markets

Don't become a statistic—one of those traders who tries futures trading and loses a bundle by trading like the herd

Discover the tools and tactics that top traders use to gain a huge edge in these volatile and profitable markets

Dear Fellow Trader,

The allure of trading the e-mini futures market is undeniable: low capital requirements combined with extremely liquid markets make this trading style accessible to a wide range of people.

It’s so easy to get into e-mini trading that many people jump in and lose their shirts before they know what hit them.

E-mini trading offers high leverage—the ability to control high value contracts with very little cash (or margin).  This double-edged sword provides great potential for big profits and equal opportunities for big losses.

This workshop is your chance to learn how to use this leverage in your favor and to learn how professional traders turn consistent profits in all market conditions.

My name is D. R. Barton, Jr. And I've created this workshop along with my partner Christopher Castroviejo to show traders the tools, tactics and strategies that professional traders use to profit in the exciting world of e-mini trading.  (For more about my professional background and Christopher’s, please see our bios at the bottom of this article.)

I enjoy trading many different instruments, including day trading and swing trading stocks.  However, most of my trading time is devoted to my current passion: the e-mini market.

Christopher and I talk with traders all over the globe on a daily basis.  This course is a combination of the best practices that we’ve learned from the best traders around.  

The workshop features some straightforward and simple strategies and tactics for newer traders as well as advanced concepts and systems that will appeal to even the most experienced traders.

But most importantly, these are tactics that can be used to master any market – trending or sideways; volatile or non-volatile.

We'll show you the best ways I know to create a technically sound trading system to maximize your profits and how to use the best tool in business...the key to finding out whether we are experiencing a range day or trend day.  We’ll also tackle the tough “nuts and bolts” psychological factors that uniquely affect day traders (just one of these secrets alone could be the "missing link" in your own trading).

I don’t want to fill this piece with marketing hype because this course is all about using the best tools in the business to be the best trader you can be.

That’s it—solid, proven information that works in the real world.

You'll come away from this fun, fast-paced and enjoyable workshop with detailed information on strategies and tactics that can help make you bigger gains...no matter what the market is doing. Register Now

With These E-Mini Strategies, You Can Use the Leverage That Eats Other Traders Alive

Don’t be stuck with one trading strategy!

We’ll explore how you can focus in on two to four critical points each day and trade the broader intraday moves.

You can also add key scalping strategies to your toolbox and trade more actively throughout the day for quick, consistent profits.

And you can combine the two strategies for high-powered ways to profit whether the market trends or trades in a range.

Learn By Doing

Dr. Van Tharp, well-known trading coach and my personal mentor, has been a leader and innovator in position sizing for years. So you'll learn the real-world value of position sizing and other lessons that take some day traders years and thousands of dollars to learn.

We’ll also dig into some computer-based simulations that will help you ingrain the concepts being taught. You won't just read and hear about good trading strategies, you'll actually apply them during our three days together.

In this Saturday through Monday course, we’ll leave the best for last—live trading with my own money on Monday morning.  This is where we’ll put what we’ve learned into practice.

Once you’ve learned all of the top notch material from this workshop, you’ll find that your own trading is less stressful, more successful, and frankly, a lot more fun.

Best of all, you don't have a thing to lose by coming to this course. Not a dime of your own money. We take all the risk.

Christopher Castroviejo

Born in New York City , raised in Rome and now living his version of the good life on the Gulf of Mexico , Christopher Castroviejo is the kind of guy you really want to help you with your money. He’s made, lost and made back more coin in his lifetime than a hundred average Joe’s will ever see.

The son of a Spanish immigrant and his American bride, Christopher grew up with a pedigree to succeed. His grandfather was “Sell ‘Em Ben” Bernard Smith, one of the few people to famously make money during the stock market crash of 1929. And his dad wasn’t just any immigrant passing through Ellis Island ; Dr. Ramon Castroviejo did highly advanced ophthalmology research at the Mayo Clinic, leading to his invention of the corneal transplant still in use today. 

With role models like those, resting on his laurels wasn’t an option for young Christopher, who graduated in the top 3 of his prep school class. By age 16, Christopher was fluent in four languages and got his first job on Wall Street as a Senior Order Clerk at Pershing and Company. Then, it was on to Harvard College to study economics and Columbia Business School , where he graduated as valedictorian of the executive program. The financial markets called, and Christopher answered with an energy, enthusiasm, and fresh approach that would prove to be very lucrative for him and his clients. 

Christopher’s resume’ and track record on Wall Street became something of legend; stints with Smith Barney, J.P. Morgan, a partnership at Bear Stearns, financial consultant for The Vatican Bank to name a few. Christopher was hot and getting hotter. Highlights including turning $10,000 into $178,000 in four weeks, 8 straight years of 33% compounded profits as a top hedge fund manager, a sleek Manhattan brownstone and a spacious summer getaway in the tony Hamptons . Christopher even struck up a friendship with his money making idol, billionaire George Soros. 

Along with multi-million dollar wins, there were a few huge losses; in just six short weeks, $10,000 became a cool million, and quickly nothing but air. And, in one monumental transaction gone wrong, Christopher lost $15 million dollars in just a few months…$1.5 million of it his own money. But, unlike the Vegas poker player who can’t leave the table, Christopher learned from the missteps as well as the wins. “You have to reinvent your performance all the time. I used to see the business as just about orchestrating wins, but the rational way of thinking about it is really about controlling your losses.”

As the Washington Post’s Jay Mathews said in a glowing 3 page feature about Christopher, “His first love remains the pulsating creature that leaps out of his computer screens each morning, an embodiment of dollars and yen, 21 day moving averages, bankruptcy, price-earnings ratios, oil, silicon and fear. He is not likely to abandon it, or let anyone else near it who does not meet his standards.” Not anymore. 

Christopher is now putting his decades of big Wall Street wins and vast insider knowledge to work to empower the Everyman. While continuing to successfully to trade himself, Christopher also spends much of his days teaching others the knowledge and systems they need to succeed on The Street. “Overall, the markets have been very, very good to me down through the years. There’s nothing more satisfying at this stage in my life than to help a man or woman achieve their piece of the American dream” says Christopher from his well appointed home as the Gulf breeze blows in through the open French doors. A very worthwhile sentiment from an immigrant’s son, ever appreciative of the good fortune the USA , and a lot of hard work, has given him. 

Christopher's volunteer activities have included serving as Chairman of the Sheltering Arms Children's Service, the oldest and largest non sectarian child care agency in the City of New York , and contributing as a director of the Matinecock Neighborhood Association, Long Island 's first social service volunteer group. He has also served as a trustee and member of the Executive Committee of the Harvard Medical School Center for Blood Research and as a trustee of the Fay School .

Christopher has appeared in media including the New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Business Week, National Public Radio, Bloomberg TV, and CNBC.
