Here are some more specific details on the upcomming workshop.

Tzar Traders Workshop 2010


The Tzar Traders Workshop will concentrate on teaching participants how to implement specific trading strategies using both futures and options that aim to generate cashflows.  This workshop focuses specifically on identifying and implementing these strategies when in a live environment.  Students will focus on fine tuning trade management and will learn to apply the core methodolgies that both Alexander and Davin use daily to quantify their trading opportunities.


The workshop is specifically targeted to providing a path for traders to move to consistent profitablility.  There is a strong focus on teaching traders to read price action and react to the market in real time, and develop the discipline to apply their trading strategy consistently over time.  The material in the workshop is presented around intra-day trading, however it is also placed in context of longer time frames and all the trading skills and disciplines can be applied to your particular timeframe.
The workshop is divided into three components:


1.  Pre-preparation Classes - July 2nd to July 26th


All traders will be required to complete pre-course preparation before commencement of the webinars.  This will comprise review and study of detailed Protege Course videos and a workbook, Lesson 1, Lesson 2 plus completion of homework assignments for each corresponding lesson.
Lesson # 1 – The Foundation to Price Structure
    Core Trading Philosophy – Directional Markets
     Objectively Quantifying Directional Bias
      Quantifying Value versus Overpriced Levels
      Reading Technical Datasets
      Natural Market Cycles
      Bias & Anchors
      Trade Sequencing
Lesson # 2 – The Foundation to Price Structure
      Quantifying Bid / Offer Zones and Sideways Markets
      Directional Market Cycles in Bid/Offer Sequences
      Trading off Key Levels
      Mean Reversions & Potential Shifts in Direction
      70:30 Extensions with Bias & without Bias
Your are expected to complete the protocol outlined including the Protege Videos, homework assignments, and review sessions.  Sectional Tests & Quizzes will go out on July 22nd to verify each trader's understanding of Price Structuring Foundation.
This first three weeks of pre-class preparation is critical to understanding the vocabulary used in the workshop, our trading philosophy, trading methodology and creating a foundation of technical knowledge with which we will start to work with in the later components of the workshop.


2.  First On-line learning Block July 26th to August 6th and Second On-line learning Block August 30th to September 10th.


The webinar series will comprise three live on-line webinar lessons per week.  Each lesson will in part review the key components presented in the pre-preparation material, plus build on your trading knowledge and, in particular, application of this knowledge.  The on-line lessons will be delivered live, during which time you will be required to participate in discussion and exercises, and have the opportunity to raise questions.


Each of the on-line lessons will be recorded and available on the website for later review, and available if a trader is unable to attend a particular live presentation.  Times for the webinars will be finalised based on the numbers attending and their particular time zones, however we are currently planning to run them at 6.30am Australian EST, (4.30pm Atlanta).  However, we may run a few classes at other times if required.


The course material will cover:


*Core methodology that both Davin and Alexander use daily to quantify our trading opportunities
*Risk management strategies designed to minimize risk and maximize winning sequences through trade management
*Offensive techniques designed to teach traders to add-on to their winning sequences...when can we add? When should we avoid secondary positions etc..? This alone is extraordinarily powerful and can make the difference   between a mediocre traders and a elite level professional.
*You will have access to proprietary software designed by Firm Principals to locate the trading opportunities in a clear and objective fashion
*Robust strategies using options and the core methodology designed to generate monthly & quarterly cash flow. You will learn how to switch from one strategy to another and why.
*Private meetings and reviews with each individual trader attending.
*Alexander & Davin reviewing records, executions and direct oversight in addition to full-day schedule of events.


3.  In-house Training - August 16th to August 27th


During this 2 week component, traders will work alongside Davin and Alexander, receive real time and live market preparation each day, comments and interpretation of the market during the day, plus one-on-one reviews of trades executed.  It is the combination of on-line accessibility and in-office training that offers a powerful opportunity for the dedicated trader.  During the two weeks, traders will participate in specific training sessions, individual reviews, groups discussions and trade either live or in simulation applying the techniques learned so far.  Traders should be prepared to present and explain their trading decisions and receive a constructive review of their decisions.  This is a powerful technique to build a robust albiet individual trading methodology and develop a deep understanding of your trading strengths and weaknesses to develop consistency and discipline.


The in-house training is a highly valuable component of the course, however it is designed to achieve specific trading skills that complement the on-line learning and is not a pre-requisite to successful completion of the on-line workshop.  It is designed and offered in this fashion, as we understand the constraints some traders may face in attending a full two weeks in Atlanta and wish to offer traders who are unable to attend the in-house component the opportunity to benefit from the workshop as a whole.


Post Workshop Support
Our members area of the website will provide opportunities for you to network and get support from other traders, particularly those you have worked with through the workshop.  You will be able to post your trades, ask questions, discuss markets and get feedback from other traders. 
In addition, you will receive 12 months membership to our bi-monthly webinars.  Each month we will present a trading review, where Alexander and Davin select a number of trades that have been posted to the member's website and discuss the positive and negative aspects of each on-line.  We will also have a short training webinar followed by a question and answer session each month.


Firm Trading Opportunities

We have a number of opportunities for successful traders to join our proprietary trading firm.  We currently have 14 traders working in our firm.  Traders must successfully complete the Tzar Traders Workshop and achieve specific trading benchmarks to be considered for this opportunity.

 


The total course cost is US 6800.  If you are unable to attend the in-house component and wish to participate in the on-line workshop components only, the total cost is US 4800.  Our trading room is booked almost to capacity, however we may be able to add a few more places, so please contact me as soon as possible if you are interested in attending the full workshop with the in-house component.    As we have a number of traders travelling to Atlanta for the in-house training component, we have arranged accommodation rates at a nearby facility.


Alternatively, we have spaces available for those interested in the on-line component only.


If you are interested in registering for the workshop or would like to speak with Alexander or Davin in more detail, please contact me on info@tzaranalytics.com

Dax structure and trading setups

This morning's Dax preparation had key areas that identified potential trade setups.

I have just closed out the morning trading with a trade up to the first resistance area.

The position did take some heat with the retracement back to the opening lows but was with the overall up trend.

I was comfortable with this after watching the Hang Seng market gap up on the second session a whopping 400pts to its high.

Yesterday I finished a little ahead of today's return trading the retest low of 5800 on the US open.

Dax trading skills and market structure

I haven't been showing much of the charts on the blog lately as I have been concentrating on the course with Alexander in Atlanta.

Today's morning session on the Dax is a perfect lesson in why a knowledge of market structure can give great results in combination with a robust trading strategy.

The open was around 5860 with price dropping down to test support (in purple) at around 5840.

I scaled into position around this level and held to the first resistance at 5880 (in green).

I closed one position to lighten as it was minor resistance and re-entered at 5865.

I then rode a full position and scaled out as we moved closer to resistance around 5920.

This proved to be a little premature as the market moved to 5950 in line with important S&P resistance at 1070.

Tzar Traders

This is an email that was sent to the traders that logged in for Alexander's morning Prep.

This workshop gives traders the opportunity to work with both Alexander and myself both online and live.

It is available to readers of this blog but we do have have limited availability.

 Dear Traders


We certainly hope you enjoyed the time listening to the Prep Sessions focusing on structural bias and potential directional set ups for the given sessions as well as reviewing some of the trades made from independent traders and company traders managing firm capital.


As you know, I have been successfully trading for over ten years based on my indepth understanding of market psychology and price action.  I am a highly active trader with extensive experience in different markets across the world.  During this time I have delivered a number of training courses targeted to provide expertise and a trading edge to advanced traders.  I have focused on my specific methodologies and advanced techniques that sharpen the skills of traders with a practical application.


Alexander has spent the past five years creating profitable traders through extensive knowledge, a logical methodology based around price structure and a powerful training process. He has offered many clients the opportunity to trade with his company after training them…every dollar invested has the potential to produce not only knowledge and training but employment opportunities.  Currently employing fourteen traders, all of whom came through the training process, each of these traders have been taught, trained and pushed to shorten the learning curve through a singular focus.


I am pleased to announce Alexander and I are forming a new venture to provide world class training to serious traders.  We have developed an exciting opportunity for traders to learn in a live trading environment and apply the core methodology that both Alexander and I use daily to quantify our trading opportunities.  It is the combination of on-line accessibility and in-office training that offers a powerful opportunity for the dedicated trader. This is the first time that an in-office event like this has been open to non-firm traders.


This is an advanced workshop focused on fine tuning trade management using futures and options strategies. We will also make our proprietary software available to students and provide the same open opportunity for those that desire to work together in a long term contract.


Beginning July 26th and running over a seven week period we will accept a limited enrollment to this workshop, comprising on-line workshops over 4 weeks as well as 2 weeks live, in-office training and strategy implementation in our office in Atlanta, GA from August 16 -27 during market hours.


This course will cover:
Core methodology that both Davin and I use daily to quantify our trading opportunities
Risk management strategies designed to minimize risk and maximize winning sequences through trade management
Offensive techniques designed to teach traders to add-on to their winning sequences...when can we add? When should we avoid secondary positions etc..? This alone is extraordinarily powerful and can make the difference between a mediocre trader and an elite level professional.
Access to proprietary software designed by Firm Principals to locate the trading opportunities in a clear and objective fashion
Robust strategies using options and the core methodology designed to generate monthly & quarterly cash flow. You will learn how to switch from one strategy to another and why.
Private meetings and reviews with each individual trader attending.
Alexander & Davin reviewing records, executions and direct oversight in addition to full-day schedule of events.
For those that cannot attend the full 2 weeks live we can arrange a suitable alternative that will fit your schedule.


Free Event:


To introduce this opportunity, PLEASE JOIN ALEXANDER & DAVIN FOR A WEBINAR ON JUNE 10TH AT 9.30PM for a live, trading sample review LIVE TRADES achieved with our methodologies. This will provide added insight into what will be taught in the on-line courses as well as the workshop with every trade shown representing actual cash p/l’s … no hypothetical or simulated records! If you would like to join the event please reply to the e-mail with your request and the link to access will be sent to you at the end of this week.
