Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What Is E-mini Trading?
E-minis or E-mini futures are futures contracts for stock indices. What makes E-minis different from other futures contracts is that they all trade electronically on Globex. Trading E-minis involves reading market signals and buying or selling contracts based on which way the market will move. E-mini contracts are small – for the S&P 500 E-mini Future, if the market moves in your favor by one point, you can earn $50 per contract.With the Felton Trading Course, we’ll teach you a powerful trading method for E-mini trading. You’ll learn how to read real-time market signals and become an effective E-mini day trader.
Q. Why Trade the E-minis?
Every trader has their own "comfort zone" in the markets they've been trading for years and sometimes it's hard to get them to take a look at anything else. But once they trade the E-minis, most people quickly see the numerous trading opportunities offered, the smooth and consistent volatility, the very small capital requirement, the very tight spreads, the minimal slippage, and the substantial tax break savings available....We could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. It's why they've been called "the most successful market product ever offered in the history of the financial industry".
Q. How is the Felton Trading Course "unique" from other trading programs?
As you may already know, most trading programs offered these days are either too complicated to understand, don't work consistently, or they don't work at all. The most effective way for a trader student to achieve their personal trading goals and beyond is to find a mentor and a method that works for them on a consistent long-term basis. At Felton Trading, we eagerly encourage all prospective student members to come into our Felton Trading Room and check it out on a completely free trial basis. We think you'll be really pleased. The E-mini trading methodology is so consistent that we never have to apologize for a bad day. The method is so simple that almost anyone can begin to understand the core elements in less than 30 minutes of instruction. You also learn from the method developer himself. That way, you get the best instruction from one of the most effective mentors in the industry and you'll learn one of the most effective trading strategies ever developed.
Q. What Level of Success Does Roger Expect His Students to Achieve?
He wants every student to reach their own maximum trading potential, set realistic goals based on individual abilities, and reach those goals in the shortest time possible. Since no two traders are ever exactly alike - just as no two personalities are alike - trading potential will vary among students. But the lowest level of success beats any level of failure. Roger's goal is to do whatever it takes to help his students maximize their individual trading abilities in the shortest period of time possible.
Q. Can I Learn the Felton Trading Method?
Yes! Learning the method through clearly defined rules and live interaction can enable even the most novice student to master the method. Of course, knowledge alone does not insure success in trading (because of the emotional factors) but the method strategy is not at all complicated. An old Chinese saying goes, "What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I learn". Doing by example is the key. It's called the "See and Do" approach - and it works!Because there is no time expiration on your training, there is no logical reason why anyone who cared to learn would not be able to clearly understand every aspect of the method. Roger works tirelessly with each of his students because he knows how important their goals are...it's their dream...and Roger is one of the best in the business to help make it happen. Just ask any of his students.
Q. What About Support After I Join?
In our opinion, to take someone's money for trading education and then starve them for support is bad business. We get a lot of "orphans" who come to Felton Trading and are astounded at the level of support they receive. The support is for life, it never expires. Roger makes himself available to his students by phone or email anytime it's needed. He really cares and it shows. You'll never find a higher level of support offered anywhere else at any price.
Q. How Difficult is it to Implement the Felton Trading Method?
As with any powerful trading method, there is a learning process involved and not all students will learn at the same speed, of course. But we've never had a student that gave an honest effort who still was not capable if implementing it in the market due to a lack of method understanding. Even after just the initial training, many traders are able to reliably identify most basic long and short signals in the actual market - especially after just a few days of live market mentorship with the instructor.
Q. Is This Method and Training Designed Just for Trading Pros?
No. The Felton Trading method and training is targeted to no individual trader type or experience level. It's designed for both Novices and Veteran Traders alike. The only requirement is that everyone studies the training materials diligently and practice making their own trading decisions in simulation mode until complete method mastery and consistent profit results are achieved. Roger uses no complicated jargon or "geek speak" in the training or trading room. Since the method itself is quite unique, everyone is effectively on the same level from the beginning.
Q. Do You Use Stops? How Much?
At Felton Trading, we believe strongly in very tight stops. Without stops, there is no risk control and, without risk control, there is no lasting success. Since the method itself often pinpoints the exact minute and second that the market is going to make a move, stops are never more than a point (and often less) in the Russell 2000, for instance. Very tight stops are used in all markets. We systematically control and adjust stops to cut losses on wrong-sided trades as quickly as possible. In addition, we use a powerful and unique approach to capture larger market moves with a special trailing stop technique that is only taught in Felton Trading.
Q. Why Teach If You Can Just Trade?
A great question and we hear it a lot. The simple answer has to do with a genuine love and passion for teaching and the many friends that are made from all over the world. But it's more than that. It's a known fact that, when you teach anything, you just naturally get better at it. That's certainly a great side benefit to doing something you enjoy. Trading is a lonely business sometimes and it's a pleasure sharing valuable knowledge and experience with friends while continually increasing trading skills along the way.
Q. How Should I Begin Actual Trading?
Before placing your first real money trade, you should ALWAYS begin in simulation with a good and highly realistic simulation platform. Never risk your real trading capital if your method mastery is not there yet. Today's modern trading simulators are incredibly robust and versatile. Although they cannot simulate the emotional high (or low) that you might experience from a real money trade, they offer the trader the opportunity to experience everything else that they will encounter when trading for real. Spend as much time in simulation as you need in order to achieve consistent winning days with very few mistakes - preferably none.In an S&P E-Mini contract, each point you make is worth $50 and each point is worth $100 in the Russell 2000 E-Mini. Always let your profits dictate how many contracts you will place on your trades. Never risk more money in a trade than you can comfortably afford to lose! If your trading account is slipping, stop trading real money and go back to simulation until your confidence and ability are rock-solid. Remember, protecting your trading account is everything. First learn to survive - then learn to thrive!
Q. Can I Apply the Felton Trading Method to Other Strategies I Already Use?
Certainly. Although Felton Trading was designed to be a primary stand alone trading method, if you have some time-tested "weapons" in your personal arsenal that you really trust, you can easily incorporate them into our method. Just remember to keep your trading strategy simple. Only add what you know works with good accuracy and consistency. Never let your trading method get "top heavy" with layers of indicators that offer limited value. Remember, Complexity is the father of Frustration and Frustration is the mother of Failure.
