Trade with Jay: Tools of the Trade Jay Perales

My name is Jay Perales. I have been a successful E-Mini S&P 500 trader for a little over 7 years now. I think back to when I was a beginner trader and how it would have really benefited me to have a mentor. It would have really helped to have someone by my side to ask questions, watch, and learn from their experience. I had so many questions when I first started trading, but there was no one to answer them. Not knowing any better, I went out and spent thousands of dollars on classes, courses, books, and manuals. I even paid $11,000 for a day trading course. When I completed the course I left even more confused with more questions than before. Simply put, I was left to trade on my own. Not only did I spend thousands of dollars, but also countless hours watching and studying the market. Eventually, after years of tracking the market, I created the 2 Hours a Day system. Developed through trial and error, this system has evolved into what many believe is the most successful method of trading the E-Mini S&P 500 today. One thing I told myself is that I would not wish my experience upon anyone! I had no clue what I was doing, and after spending thousands of dollars, I was determined to learn! But honestly, I didn''t know where to start. The courses I took and books that I bought were only on trading, but not on how to get data (charts) or, more importantly, how to set them up! Imagine my frustration. I knew that I needed charts to watch the market, but where would I find them? How frustrating to subscribe for data, log on, and get a black screen. As most traders know, when you get a data subscription you have to set up your own charts. You are basically on your own as to figuring out how to set up the correct candles, colors, and indicators. I learned that when you buy a course, you are buying that person''s methodology to learn how they trade: their methodology, or system. You do not necessarily get all the tools and contacts that you will need to trade on your ow
