Jon Levine

Jon Levine A full time Forex Trader and Forex Trading Coach. Jon has traded various instruments since 1992 and has mentored Forex for six years. Jon has written four ebooks about trading. Three for the Forex market and one for the futures market.

Jon's philosophy in trading is: 1- Know yourself. 2- Know your market. 3- Know your system

Understanding the first two principles give a person the confidence to trade his system successfully. Jon's trading system is based on price dynamics and human psychology. Students are taught how to be independent Forex traders by learning from example and applying the three principles above.

Based on technical analysis, Jon teaches students to recognize predictable market patterns that occur over 60% of the time in the market, and learn to take advantage of those patterns. He keeps the trading rules as basic as possible using minimal indicators. His system focuses on support and resistance, market patterns, and volatility. That combined with solid money and trade management has made the system consistently profitable since it's creation.

Jon offers three different mentoring courses which are three months in duration. One for day trading. One for midterm trading, and one for advanced day trading methods. Jon keeps the cost of his mentoring low by emailing detailed charts to students at the end of each trading day. (From midnight to noon Eastern time).

The charts explain in detail why a trade should or shouldn't be taken and why. They show all the valid trading signals and adheres to strict trade management stops to maximize profits while minimizing losses. Students review his chart with theirs to determine their daily trading progress. Within a month most students are taking the same trades as Jon and the system rules.

Jon also has a new live trading group run by a senior trader which is offered free of charge. It's an informal group where students can watch as trades are taken using our unique trading system. Students can discuss setups, current trades, share ideas, trade along and help confirm the trade rules with each other. It's a great way to bring students together as a group who share a common goal. For legal reasons we can't give investment advice, only trading decisions per our trading rules.
