Here's the Story:
I recently conducted a trader survey (in preparation for my upcoming EminiUniversity.com site), to find out which e-mini instructors were well-regarded by traders.
Of the hundreds of responses I got (283 total), Barbara Cohen's site at "ShadowTraders.com" site was the 2nd-most popular one that traders said they'd learned about emini trading from.

So I decided to approach Barbara to see if she could make time to do an interview with me. And thankfully she agreed, so we scheduled it and conducted it in June 2010.
Here's the questions I asked Barbara, and her thoughtful answers. You can follow along with the questions as you listen to the interview if you wish. |
In the actual audio interview, you'll hear answers to these thought-provoking questions (and more):
Question 1: For those of our traders who are new to the eminis, can you let them know what a couple of advantages emini trading, for example the ES, the S&P emini, offers compared to trading stocks or forex?
Question 2: How do you teach your traders to manage entry signals, is there a favorite setup that you use? (and the answer should'nt promote your chatroom etc, instead it should be a well-defined specific technical setup, as in "we look for a breakout over (technical signal) when trading the ES", type of reply.)
Question 3: What's your approach to managing risk? Let's say we're scalping the ES and looking for 2 to 4 ticks, what is your risk-reward ratio on your trades? How many ticks will you risk in pursuit of a gain, depending on market conditions or specific entry signals you're looking at trading?
Question 4: Many traders deal with discipline issues, taking too many wide stops and not keeping to a defined trading plan. What advice would you give traders when it comes to managing discipline more professionally in their trades?
Questions 5-8: What is Shadowtraders? Why is it so popular? What sets Shadowtraders apart from other emini education companies? Where is Shadowtraders going in the future?
