About David Marsh

David Marsh is the founder of E-mini Trading Strategies and the developer of the Tick Trader Emini Day Trading Course ,which is highly recommended, and featured on this websites as one of the better day trading training programs.

I'm going to let David Marsh tell you about himself. The following is copied from his website.

"I have been involved in the markets since the early 1990’s. I started with futures trading, then moved on to options trading, graduated to stock trading, then full circle, back to futures trading—where I will stay permanently. During this time I also learned daytrading and swing trading.

When I was 21 years old I drove all the way from my home in Buffalo, NY to Chicago to go to a $3800 Options Class. It was a great course, I learned a lot and was able to visit the CBOT (Chicago Board of Trade)—I even bought a CBOT sweatshirt! But when I got home, I was broke, so I had to put everything I had learned on hold and went back to work!

I managed to save up some money and open an account. It only took a couple months and I blew out the account. Once that happened I went back on my quest to find the secrets to trading. I read a lot of books and went to a lot of high priced seminars and even bought some home study courses from the GURUS. I learned about technical analysis and all the different indicators one could use to predict future market prices.

Honestly the first 3 years were tough. I blew out a lot of trading accounts and lost tens of thousands of dollars. I realized trading is a tough business but I moved on—knowing one day I would find what I was looking for. It took a while but I finally realized that what I was missing was discipline. I had a hard time following through with rules!

I totally changed my thought process on trading. I realized it was a tough business and that if I couldn’t follow rules then I really had no business trading. After that my trading career turned right around!

I then developed a very simple approach to trading. I found 2 indicators that when used together were highly accurate. Of course I back-tested it for several months to see how it worked and to create rules, entries, exits etc. After about 3 months I traded live with real money and the results have been fantastic.

My whole mind set is different. My goal way back was to make a killing in the market. Now that’s not the case. Now I trade for a living! I take a small chunk everyday to make a very comfortable living. I like to see it as an apple tree outside my house. Everyday I go outside and take the apples I need for the day. I don’t try to cut down the whole tree!

I earn my “living” by trading for 1 point a day! Trading for 1 point a day is a very attainable goal. If I need to make more money, I simply trade more contracts. To give you an idea of what 1 point a day can produce, take a look at my Business Plan.

That is why I offer a 30 DAY DOUBLE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE . I know and guarantee that when followed correctly, my strategies can deliver ONE POINT every single trading day. However, since I cannot guarantee that everyone will appropriately follow the rules and exercise strict discipline, please understand that this guarantee therefore only applies to the system and not individual results."
