Glenn Rosen

You asked for him, so we are bringing him back! Glenn Rosen, a full time trader, whose sole source of income is trading, will be doing a very special, never before shared presentation just for FTA!

As you know, the market is not stagnant, market conditions are constantly changing.  As the market changes, Glenn is continually adjusting his trading methods accordingly. He uses the latest and greatest tools, which he will be sharing in its entirety. 

Glenn Rosen is one of our all-time favorite speakers, being voted in the top three as most desired speakers for a return visit.  He began trading S&P e-minis in 1998 using technical analysis and went full time trading for a living in 2002.  In 2003, he switched to the forex market. Like many of us, he started with 4XME, but outgrew it very quickly. He is now trading with technicals, all of which he will be describing in detail.

On February 16, Glenn will share with us a simple, profitable, duplicatable trading method.  He will show you how to successfully apply this method, step by step over multiple time-frames and multiple currency pairs.

Glenn’s method, The FTG Diversified Trading Strategy, can be applied on any charting software, including Metatrader and most broker’s free charts – you don’t need to purchase any new software or charting package.  He will share with us:

**How to increase your return on your trading capital

**How to minimize drawdown

**How to trade without being glued to your screen

**A simple method of determining the trend on any time frame

**A mechanical approach to taking profits and trailing one’s stop

**The key to discipline and how to achieve flawless execution

**How to trade without having to worry about broker manipulation

**Combining day trading, swing trading and position trading

**How to determine amazingly accurate support and resistance points on any time frame.  (This has nothing to do with pivot-points and requires no calculations or special software)

Let’s give a big Texas welcome to Jim and Glenn as they kick off 2008 for us.  They form a winning team, as Glenn tells us how to make more pips, and Jim tells us how to keep more for ourselves.  Don’t miss it! 

REMINDER, at our last meeting we had a long discussion regarding the financial situation and future direction of FTA. As a group, each member voted and the unanimous decision was made to adjust the general admission fee to be able to cover all of the meeting expenses, without going into debt. For the first time in three years, we have raised the fee by $10.
