Session #1
Trading the E-Minis in Real-Time
Monday, February 14, 2005
8:30 AM - 10:30 AM, RealTick Room

Join Bo Yoder, author of Mastering Futures Trading, for a morning of trading the E-minis with all new set-ups using the RealTick trading platform.  This session offers a unique chance to look over the shoulder of a professional trader as he goes through his morning routine.  Watch Bo as he sets up the trade, picks stop loss levels and manages his exits in the real-time E-mini markets. 

Session#2
Setting Stop Loss Orders to Avoid Whipsaws
Monday, February 14, 2005
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM, RealTick Room


Tired of having the market whip you out for a loss just before it reverses and runs to your profit objective?   Join trader, author and internationally recognized speaker Bo Yoder for a discussion on setting stop loss orders.  Learn why the market is attracted to likely stop loss levels and why it always feels you have been personally targeted for a rinse.  Using software tools available on RealTick, learn how to spot "liquidity pools" and set your stop loss orders just out of the stop runners reach.  Money management is at the heart of any successful trader’s profitability.  Choosing an incorrect stop loss level can be the difference between home runs and what could have been.  This session will shed light onto the grey area between the two.
