Q: I have a job. Do I have to watch the market all day to be a successful daytrader?
A: Thankfully, you don’t have to watch the market all day. We have many students who work full-time, but focus on trading at the most active times of day like the mornings or afternoon. Others may place trades during their lunch hour.
Q: What is the profit potential of Fausto’s trading methods?
A: Technically, there is no limit to how much can be earned each day because it is infinitely scalable, depending on how much of your profits are reinvested. Our successful students earn anywhere from $200 per day consistently (a day’s pay or $50,000/year) to several thousand Dollars per day (these results are not typical).
Q: Does daytrading still work in this HFT and algo-driven era?
A: Conventional daytrading techniques do not work anywhere near as well as they once did thanks to these technological changes, but Cyber Trading University’s techniques are very different because they actually allow independent, human traders to spot high frequency trading (HFT) and algorithmic trade setups and go along for the ride. We are the only trading school that teaches this form of modern-day tape reading.
Q: Why is Fausto’s trading method different and better than other schools’ methods?
A: Other trading schools tend to focus excessively on price action and technical analysis, which no longer works as well on intraday because HFT algorithms are designed to “fake out” these technical traders. Fausto, however, goes right to the source and teaches how to actually spot HFT and algorithmic action and follow the “smart money” to catch the most powerful trends while avoid getting shaken out like the “dumb money” traders typically are.
Q: I’ve heard that 90% of daytraders fail. Why are your students the exception to this rule?
A: Most daytraders follow conventional trading techniques that have largely been rendered obsolete by high frequency trading and also lack the proper risk management skills. Many of these traders think that they’re following a sound strategy, but are actually pursuing a strategy is that is similar to gambling. Cyber Trading University teaches students how to find the highest reward, lowest risk stocks to trade and teaches how to cut losses to a very minimum if a trade doesn’t work out. Through rigorous risk controls and money management, our students have a much greater shot at becoming consistently profitable.
Q: Why do you sell courses if you could just trade this system?
A: We do trade our system alongside our students who we’ve taught. Cyber Trading University’s staff and its CEO Fausto Pugliese enjoy the company of other traders and benefit from having many more eyes on the market (via our popular CyberGroup trading room) to look for potentially profitable trading opportunities.
