Chris Lori is the only known institutional and private client FX Fund Manager and CTA who also trains private traders sharing his market insights and strategies.

Chris is a total professional in his training approach and fully understands the development process of a trader in its entirety. His trading philosophy is that market knowledge is the essential foundation to your trading success, followed by a sound psychological profile, trading strategies and the necessary tools and facilities to run your business. He covers all of these necessary components in his teaching and mentoring. Chris is a hard core trader with a realistic and practical trading approach. If you are looking for a “Holy Grail,” go somewhere else!

When asked why he shares so much of his approach to the market, Chris replies;

"The trader lives within you. To be successful in trading you have to understand the marketplace in which you are competing and you have to be an independent thinker. It is a pleasure to mentor people who are serious about trading and see them succeed and quit their jobs to go full time. I like to share the real inner-workings and strategies of the bank and fund manager environment to give serious traders a chance."

Friday Evening Session

Fundamentals and the Institutional Trading Environment:

Most developing traders want to know what others are doing and have access to information and resources that will lead to excellence in trading just like the major institutions and bank traders. This session will introduce you to the banking environment with a review of the fundamental and technical considerations made by the world’s largest Forex traders. We will start with an overview of the fundamental market movers, followed by specific examples and applications of micro and macro economic factors driving current trends. We will work through Analysts reports from leading global private banks, just as a bank trader or dealer would do, apply them to the current market and formulate a market view.

Furthermore, we combine this with confirmations from a technical view by looking at the charts, because after all, we are technical analysts and pattern traders! Don’t forget, market knowledge is an essential foundation to your success.

In addition, you will be provided with resources that will allow you to access reports from the major financial institutions.

Saturday and Sunday Sessions

Fractals and Fibonacci

As a follow up to the first section, Chris will show you how price moves as it relates to the interbank dealing flows, which will be critical to your entry, trade management and exits.

You will learn an in depth understanding of Fractals and Fibonacci applications and tools, and the relationship between the levels for intraday, swing and long term trading. Fractals and Fibonacci will be the foundation to the patterns and strategies that will be introduced later in the workshop.

High Probability Reversal Patterns:

Price Patterns are leading market indicators that will show you precisely where a high probability trade can present itself in the future. This beats all those lagging indicators commonly found with cheap forex systems that lose money. Indeed, lagging indicators have their place in trading, and I’ve seen them used with success by highly skilled professionals, but I use them as complimentary components to patterns in finding and managing trades.

There is no question that chart patterns have power in generating very profitable moves. It is always easy to see a chart pattern after the fact. You will learn to apply an excellent combination of tools to get in the chart pattern at the root of the trend or move. This will give you the flexibility to take early profits on a percentage of your position and leave you with the possibility to manage a long term trade with the remaining portion of your position.

Chris’ Indicators:

Lagging indicators are included in almost every trader’s protocol. Although Chris prefers the leading price patterns, methods and strategies that you will learn in the course, there is a specific formulation of indicators that offer important support to this simple approach. There are indicators that compliment nicely the leading approach to trading which Chris will share with the members.

Fund Manager and CTA Process

Do you want to trade other people’s money? Have other people asked you to trade for them? We will break up the technical teaching and exercises for a few minutes as Chris will walk you through the process of becoming registered as a CTA. More importantly, he will show you how managed funds develop and operate, including tools and facilities, and how essential equity management is to your success as a fund manager.

Simple Trade Spotting Techniques Intraday, Swing or Position Trading

With the information Chris will share, you will leave with at least eight strategies. The goal is that each day you sit in front of your computer you will have your choice of several strategies that can be employed if and when the market presents the opportunity. More importantly, you will be clear in your plan and know exactly what you are looking for… It’s called a trading plan!

With your knowledge of the fundamentals and access to bank resources along with technical strategies, you will be empowered identify intraday, swing or position trades.

Ideal Order Entry and Position Management

The bottom line – Minimize risk and maximize profit with proper order entry and position management!! Learn Chris Lori’s popular “Big Stones” order entry methods that have positively and completely changed the way many novice and experienced traders think and perform. As you know, position management can be very subjective. Well, the best way for a trader to remain consistently profitable over the long term, is to understand price movement at the deepest level and manage your trades according to what you see the major players doing (which is covered throughout the workshop). We will take what we learn about price movement and apply an easy to manage strategy aiming to maximize profitability, and control losses, on each entry you take.

5 Critical Psychological Factors Every Trader Must Know about Themselves

We often hear that trading is “All Psychology,” well, trading involves many key components, but it is critical that you have clear understanding of the psychological factors that will definitely affect your ability to profit as a trader.

This section will help you to understand and manage the waves of emotion trader’s experience when taking on, and being engaged in, a trade. Furthermore, the insights Chris reveals in this section will help you gain a better understanding of yourself as a trader and discover area’s that may be hindering your success.
