First, we'll have a conversation and make sure that futures or options trading is something that is right for you and your investment goals. This type of trading is not suitable for everyone. If we mutually agree that futures or options trading is appropriate for you, then we will train you on a "broker-assisted" basis. Your broker will be contacting you when market conditions are right for a trade. But remember, you the customer are authorizing and placing each and every trade through your broker. You are the boss, and if you are not comfortable with a broker's recommendation, just say so.

Every day, if you wish, your broker can email you the synopsis of what is going on relative to that trade and the day's current market conditions. You will understand the reasoning for the trade, and what to expect if the market goes up, down, or sideways. You will understand the complete plan - from the day the trade is initiated until it becomes a profit or a loss.  It will be like having a personal guide to the markets.

You will understand the methodology, rationale, and decision making process as to why you should execute a specific trade.  Once you have mastered the basics more complex strategies will be taught to you. One of the biggest mistakes people make is picking the wrong trade or having the wrong timing.  Obviously if you attempt to put on a trade that does not meet your investment goals you are working from a big disadvantage right from the start.

Every opportunity will be made to communicate information to you about current or possible trades, so that you can learn as much as possible.
