We can also be

Forum.
Q: What do you trade and why?
A: We do live day trading alerts of
the YM Dow Emini futures contract & ES
S&P in
our live
audio/visual chat room.
We also trade the ER, DIA and other various symbols. For example, the
March Dow
emini futures contracts have the full ticker YM H7.
Our calls can also be used to generate icncome using
the
ES (mini-sized S&P 500 futures) since the YM and ES tend to move in
tandem. If your current trading stocks and looking to try futures
out, you've come to the right place. Please scroll down to see
why futures are less hassle to trade then stocks. Anyone can trade
futures without having a huge account or filling out ton of
paperwork. Alex, our head trader, does commentary on both
the YM and ES throughout the day. However, we recommend
that, if you follow our day trading signals, that you trade them on
whatever instrument you are comfortable with. Our TTW
(Trades That Work) system will work on
a variety of different markets, including the markets tracked
by the emini futures. Learning to day trade while producing profits is no easy
feat. The goal of this site is to help new traders accomplish
this task. The system gives exact entry/exit/stop prices in the
live audio chat trading pit. Please note, under any circumstances
futures trading contains a high degree of risk.
Q: Can you make money day trading when the market is going down every day?
A:
YES! That's the great part about day trading the futures markets. There
is no limit to the amount of short contracts available like in stocks.
You can make money when the market goes down. Weather you feel this is
un-American or not is of no consequence. Tons of people are doing it
every day. Short selling is alive and well. If you don't know what
short selling is then we'll teach you. When you put on a position you MAKE MONEY when the market takes a dive. Great in the recent environment.
Q: What are some of the trade setups or
methods you use and teach in your trading service?
A: In addition to Alex's TTW
Trigger/Filter system. We also teach, trade and call various other
profitable trading
setups. You can see the profitability of these setups in our track record and dead zone track record.

Q: How do I start trading for a living? Where do I begin? I'm a bit overwealhmed by all of this! Suggestions?
A: Please see this very basic list (click) for a list of things you need to do in order to get the ball rolling. It's simple to get started but will take some time.
Q:
Does the head trader Alex provide any personal 1 on 1 phone
consultation for those who may be in need of a little extra assistance?
A:
Yes. Alex's time is very valuable. Pure Tick receives over 100 calls
and 400 e-mail requests per day. We are pretty swamped. Alex does
provide a phone consultation service at the rate of $175/ per hour (billed in 10 minute blocks). If you wish to receive a phone call from Alex please E-mail trading@puretick.com with your name and phone number. Mentorship attendees will automatically receive free contact from Alex for a full month after their visit has ended.
Q: Do you do personal
one-on-one education or on-line training?
A: 1. The head trader
and author Alex Waselewski
does personal
mentorships every so often. The mentorship is for people serious about making this a career and lasts for
5 days (9:00am-4:30pm) of intense real time training. Please see this page if you wish to know
more.
2.
Listening to/observing the live trading room calls and market
commentary in our audio/text chat room is informative and gives insight
in to our thinking, trading strategy and how our trading methods are
employed.
3.
We will continue to add videos and articles to the
PureTick web site regarding what methods and strategies we use in our
own trading. There is currently one video available on our
trading methods (see the PureTick "Trading Video" page) and
our methods/strategies will be described in future
articles. Since our site has just recently come on-line,
there is not a great deal of content yet.
Q: What is a futures
contract?
A: An agreement/contract to buy an
underlying security or commodity at a fixed price at a "future"
date. There are a ton of great advantages
to trading futures over stocks including smaller margin
requirements. Note: smaller margin means increased risk. Index
futures (almost like a mutual fund or ETF)
are made up of a group of stocks traded under one symbol. The Dow
E-Mini futures contract (symbol YM) reflects the price action of all
the 30 Dow stocks. This investment approach allows the investor
to take advantage of changes in the index, without actually buying the
individual securities which make up the index. We buy and sell
these contracts intra-day and do not hold over night. Thus, you do not
ever need to concern yourself with the futures contract expiration
date. You trade them just like you would any other normal
stock. Please see this post for
more.
Q: I'd like to open an account to
trade futures. What brokers do you recommend?
A: Most of our users are using one of
these two brokers below. They both offer ALL online applications and
have a minimum $5,000 start up account requirement.
Infinity
Futures - 800-798-2839 or 312-373-6240 - www.infinitybrokerage.com
Interactive Brokers - (877) 4IB-BRKR -

Q: How do I
access the
member login page?
A: Click here.
Q: Do
you have a live trading room with real-time trading calls?
A: Yes, we have a live audio/visual
trading conference room. AlexLW (Alex
Waselewski) is the head
trader and makes the trading room calls in both audio and text, giving
us as much of a heads up as possible so that members have enough time
to evaluate the calls for themselves and enter their trades. To
see a video of the room, click here.
Exact targets and stops are given ahead of time as well as what our
actual fills are. Please visit our Live Trading page for instructions on how to access
the audio/text chat room.
Q: I'd like to
learn to trade on my own and not rely on an alert service. Does your
trading room teach you to be self sufficient?
A: But of course! Our main goal
is to teach traders to acquire the skills and discipline to trade for
themselves. The bad news is if you have a day job it is almost
impossible to trade on your own. The good news is if you do learn
to trade correctly, THAT would be your job. Perhaps you can
eventually begin by trading one day per week until you see if that kind
of career is for you. Or, as others have tried take some time out of
the current job and give trading a try. We continuously teach as
well as provide trading signals.
Q: What
are some of the common terms or lingo used in the trading room?
A: Please
see this post
for that information . ..
Q: What is the charge
for membership to the live trading room alert system?
A: The
current charge is $299/month . Traders who wish to try the
service out may check out our full access trial account at a severe discount. Additional
details and a video demo
of one of our live trading room sessions is available here: Live Trading
Room Link .
Q: Do you offer
a free trial period for your
live trading calls?
A: There is a 10-day
for $29 initial trial available for first-time
customers. In our opinion, the TTW (Trades
That Work) system
track record speaks for
itself.
Click here if
you
would like to know more about our rules and terms of
service. For those who are new to our service, we offer
a
10-day for $29 trial
period so that you can evaluate for yourself if the TTW
system and trading calls are right for you. If
you can not afford $1 a day please do not day trade. The trial
period is based on actual calendar days, not business days and starts
when you submit your application.

demonstration of our live trading room in action: Live Trading
Room Demo.
Q: Where
do I find your items for sale: Auto trigger setups etc. I have been
unable to find out where to purchase these items on your web page
Click the following link to for our trading tools (Triggers, Exit Assist): PureTick Products page.
Q: What is the Pure Tick alumni program and how does it work?
A: Some of our users who have been with us awhile and have now
graduated from PureTick and are trading on their own have been asking for this!
Would you like to access the PureTick trading room for a huge discounted rate
each
month??? Simply send us a copy of two consecutive profitable monthly
statements and qualify as an Alumni of PureTick! That would entitle
you to get into our live trading room for significantly less every single month.
If you're a profitable trader and would like to share innovative
trading ideas with other traders in the room, or listen to the
live market commentary, the alumni program is a great idea for you.
Even if you only turn a tiny profit, or break
even you're doing a great job and you will qualify to be an alumni and
get a complimentary membership.
If your a profitable trader and would like to share innovative
trading ideas with other traders in the room, or listen to the
live market commentary, the alumni program is a great idea for you.
Keep in mind that
Alumni Membership Has Limited Seating!
Requirements:
- You must have of been a full member of Pure Tick for at least 4 months to qualify as an alumni
- You must be able to show at least 2 consecutive months of profitable trading statements
- You must be willing to help the newbies in the room with simple questions from time to time
How does it work? It's simple:
1. Just fax your statements with your account number blocked out to 828-255-2655 or email attach them to
trading@puretick.com
2. After you've done that please fill out
trial sign up page (click)
3. Fill out everything as you normally would
4. Email
trading@puretick.com
and let us know you've just applied to the site and wish to start under the alumni program. You
will be emailed when your username/password is activated. Thats it!
You may also snail mail the statements to us in PA if you wish. Please email for the address.
A small monthly due will be charged to each alumni
member. Part of the dues will go to server costs and paying
HotComm. The rest of it will be set aside and used for a yearly
PureTick bash in a nice ritzy location.
Q: Why do you charge a hefty fee of $29 for your trial? Why not make it free?
A: We did offer a free trial in the past. A lot of spammers
and disruptive users were coming in the room and providing false
information. A $29 charge gives us a chance to verify your
billing address and keep the 'riff raff out' if you will.
Charging $29 does not make us rich. But you have to give out your
correct address and billing info. People who are in to causing
trouble are not willing to do that.
Q: What does your
chart layout look like?
A: Please see this
post on our discussion forums for a sample chart layout.
Q:
Is there a place where I can review the day's trading calls and room
activity?
A: Yes. We're
required to keep an accurate track record, so feel free to take a look. Each
day a summary of the day's
trading performance and activity is posted in the "Intra-Day
Trading & Performance Records/Room Logs" bulletin
board forum in the "Discussions" page of the
PureTick.Com site. Click here for a
sample daily recap and trading room transcript. Our head
trader Alex posts his actual trade executions on a daily
basis to the following web page, where the weekly and
monthly results are constantly updated: Live
Trading Performance. These results are hypothetical based on our
actual trading signals.
Q: What is the subscription fee for
your live trading room and what forms of payment do you accept?
A: We currently
charge $299/month for a monthly subscription to our
live trading room and $29 for the 10-day trial.
The 10-day trial is only available to first-time customers.
Payment is accepted by Visa, Mastercard, American Express,
Discovercard, PayPal(TM), Money
Order and Personal Check. Click
here to join online.
Q: How do you differ
from the other live trading rooms and services out there?
A: 1. We intend to
provide trading calls that can be entered easily, even by newbies, with
enough of a heads up and detailed specification of stops, desired entry
price and targets before the move is already over. We
intend to focus on quality opposed to quantity of trading calls.
If you are an experienced trader, we think our trading
system and calls can complement your own methods.
2. We have a sincere desire for our
members to succeed in their own trading and be profitable from our
calls.
3. We have a detailed track record
that is updated and published on a daily basis.
4. A live person is highly
accessible directly from the web site via our Live
Help customer support tool.
