Extended Learning Track (XLT) - Futures Trading

  • Watch a professional in action, trading the Futures Indices and Commodities

  • Interactive online class, lets you learn virtually anywhere in the world

  • These 2-hour sessions are the perfect supplemental education venue for graduates of the on-location E-mini Futures course and the Commodity Futures course

Curriculum: The Futures market is the world's most mature financial market and its high volatility makes this market more suitable for sophisticated and knowledgeable traders. No one becomes an expert at anything in one day. It takes time to learn how to trade Futures and to understand what you are doing. However, by modeling successful traders the learning curve can be dramatically reduced and consistently making money can become a reality. Real world trading experience can shorten the learning curve.

This course has been designed to take you from intermediate through the most advanced concepts of trading. It is valuable to Online Trading Academy E-Mini and Commodity Graduates and is the logical extension of your commitment to your education to become an experienced Futures Trader.

This is a powerful “next step” for student traders committed to taking their trading skills to a higher level of performance. This unique learning experience was created by Mike Baghdady, a professional trader whose “hands-on” experience in the financial arena spans over 30 years experience in the foreign exchange, equities, options and commodities markets. Mike’s comprehensive program is the perfect adjunct to the curriculum taught in the E-mini and Commodity courses.

Mike Baghdady is an Online Trading Academy professional who designed this learning experience for aspiring traders who thrive on the unique volatility of the Futures market. Students highly value Mike’s special ability to “filter out the noise” of the market, placing the emphasis instead on essentials – from entry to exit for every trade.

Throughout his career as a professional trader, Mike has been a large physical grain trader for many years and traded large position sizes, and lot sizes leaving little room for error. He trades both the long term trends and the short term moves. He therefore had to develop strict discipline and comprehensives techniques to generate consistent profits and minimize risk. Realizing that complicated trading techniques were far more difficult to implement successfully, he distilled his trading techniques down to a basic, efficient formula, so that trading decisions could be made with maximum effectiveness. To this day, Mike continues to teach his techniques to professional traders who are struggling to overcome obstacles blocking their way to trading success.

Mike teaches his students how to “see” the market and understand what seemingly random patterns actually reveal. He teaches by doing, using live money to trade in real-time. Nothing can surpass the experience of watching a live trade executed step-by-step as Mike navigates and explains the trade from entry to exit. You will see him take small losses to prevent larger losses and you will see him let small winners turn into large profits. Through this process, Mike will help you acquire the skills needed to transition from a novice or struggling trader to a consistently profitable trader. You will learn how to make great trading decisions based on sound understanding of fundamentals, technical analysis and market sentiment, as well as when and how to apply each.

Successful trading is a numbers game and you need a system with clear rules that is statistically going to work to your favor. You need discipline, dedication and a winning attitude so that you can follow the rules.

“Seeing the market patterns for what they are is the cornerstone of successful trading. Opinion, prediction, and stubbornness have no place in successful trading. I ask my students, ‘Would you rather be right or rich?’ Unfortunately, most traders would rather be right. I will show you how to make consistently correct market decisions, which are contrary to your normal inclinations, based on what you see, not on what you believe.”- Mike Baghdady

Learning to trade is a skill you can use for life!
