ACTIVE TRADER
PROGRAM

When I first began teaching my course, I took pride in the strong one-to-one relationships I developed with my students, a characteristic of my organisation that remains today. The close bonds we forged allowed frank and open discussions of my work, and it was only natural that my students had many questions about my trading methods and my uncommon success.

If you have any doubts… don’t worry. I don’t expect you to be fully convinced at this stage, just keep an open mind. This may be all new to you, but please understand that I do not make unsubstantiated claims. My forecasts have been published internationally; my investing is well documented as is the success of many of my students over the years. They are real people, from all over the world, and are living proof that these strategies are of value.

But for now, please read what we have to say carefully and make an informed decision. I believe that the Active Trader Program rules have been the cornerstone of my success over the years and that they can be for you too.

All the best,

David E Bowden

We’re here to lift the shroud of mystery from the trading world and show you that you can, in fact learn how to master the markets and, in the process, take your share of the countless dollars that are traded on the markets each year.

As a trader you can now have a choice. You can trade when you want, from where you want, as much as you want. Imagine having that kind of control over your life? Through trading, people have been able to wind back their day-to-day careers and spend their time focusing on the things that are important to them. For you, that might be your family, your pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, your favourite hobby or it simply might be the pleasure of being able to have a hit of golf, when and where you like.

With a bit of work in the early days, learning how to understand the trading markets and harnessing the knowledge you have gained may allow you to make changes for the better in your life that you may never have believed you could achieve.

When we talk about trading, we are referring to buying and selling shares, futures, commodities, currencies and cryptos. As a trader, you have a seemingly endless list of markets you can focus on and trade. Which means that you can always find a market to trade.

Once you’ve learnt the techniques to confidently do your analysis, you’ll need a software charting system and you’ll need the help of a licenced broker or an e-trading system to execute your orders. When David began his trading journey, access to market data and software was a prohibitive cost for some. Today, however, things have changed, and trading software and the market data required to drive the software is inexpensive or even free, so now is a great time to learn.

David Bowden began his illustrious career as a trader and market analyst in 1985 and by the time he commenced giving seminars in 1988 he had established an impressive track record with his trading. Indeed, colleagues and associates had witnessed his ability to nominate exact dates in advance of the markets turning point – an ability that seemed to defy logic; a consistency that could not be due to chance.

Twelve months in advance, David called the actual day of the share market top for 1987 and the subsequent low on 10 February, 1988, with his students buying shares at the bottom when everyone else was too afraid. For 1989 he was one day out, nominating 3 October as the day of the top, with panic and reversal to follow (it actually came in on the morning of October 4).

Throughout his long and illustrious career, Gann was to consistently repeat these forecasting feats, and though his methods may seem unusual, they have proven valuable to many of our student who have consistently applied them.

Building on what you’ve learnt in the Smarter Starter Pack, the Number One Trading Plan is there to prepare you for entry into the real markets. Here you’ll learn advanced techniques, building on your knowledge from the Smarter Starter Pack and new concepts like Finding the Turning Points with Price Forecasting, and Advanced Price Setups and the Importance of Ranges in your analysis.

For a limited time, we are also including three months of Active Trader Program Coaching with your Active Trader Program. This is a group coaching course that includes a live group tutorial once a month via webinar (with each session recorded, so you won’t miss a thing) and a mid-month recorded update. During these two-hour tutorials we look at the principles you’ve learnt in the Active Trader Program in action in the market. Here you’ll watch one of our team work through the analysis on a recent market example and you’ll learn how to identify opportunities as they arise so you can confidently and safely trade them. For example, in our August 2021 live coaching session, our Lead Trainer, Mat Barnes called for a yearly top on the

Nasdaq index at 16,700 using the techniques taught in the Active Trader Program. Over 50 students saw Mat’s Price Forecast and watched the final top of the year on the Nasdaq come in at 16,767.5 three months later, with many making their biggest profits ever trading it short.

Actually, very little. The Active Trader Program is based on David’s original work and derived from thousands of hours of research, hundreds of hand drawn charts and has clearly stood the test of time.
Over the years we’ve added new content to streamline your learning experience and the program is now available through our online learning platform, to make your learning experience easier, however the principles remain the same today as when David wrote the original course back in the early 90’s.

As an example, the Nasdaq top Mat called in our August 2021 Active Trader Program Coaching class was a textbook perfect replica of a very strong setup taught in the Number One Trading Plan, showing that these techniques really are timeless.

This really depends on how much time you can commit to your studies in the early days. With focused effort you could work through the three courses and complete the exercises in two weeks of full-time study, but most students start to find their feet anywhere from two to six months in. You will spend those first few months back testing and paper trading to build your confidence in the techniques. These are your ‘learning months’ and you’ll find your time commitment once you have learnt the techniques will drop dramatically after that as you put the lessons into practice in the live markets.

Yes. One of the major benefits of the Active Trader Program is its versatility. In it, you’ll see examples using stocks, currencies, indices and commodities and even cryptos. As long as the market is liquid and trending, the Active Trader Program can be used to trade it. Most of our students come to us to learn how to trade on a short to medium term, however you can use the skills you learn in the program to invest longer term, should that be your goal.

For most people, jargon and technical terms are amongst the most off-putting aspects of the markets. When David first started out, he too found this intimidating which is why the Active Trader Program is written in plain, no-nonsense English and explains fully the terms and concepts you need to know.

There’s a whole chapter in the Smarter Starter Pack, titled “what you ought to know” which is devoted to explaining the basics of investing. It’s backed up by a comprehensive glossary of terms that you’ll frequently hear and goes a long way to breaking down any confusion.

In fact, many people comment on David’s easy to read and understand style of writing as one of the key factors as to why they  enjoyed the program and worked through it quickly from beginning to end.

The simple answer is that anyone and everyone interested in consistently earning from the markets will benefit from the Active Trader Program. It makes WD Gann’s philosophy workable and will clarify your decision making with a methodology which complements any level of trading experience.

The initial section of the Smarter Starter Pack assumes that you have no knowledge of trading and begins from there. So, beginners can be assured that all of the necessary background is covered at the start. Although more experienced traders may want to skip the initial parts of this course, we often get feedback from them that they also learned something new from this section, so don’t downplay the importance of the basics.

In fact, over the years, we’ve found we often have to spend more time sorting out experienced traders than beginners. That’s because they bring with them undisciplined behaviour that needs to be addressed, whereas new traders have no preconceived beliefs and find that the rules soon become second nature.

Let me put it this way – would knowing, three months in advance, that a price of 16,700 would almost certainly result in a major, yearly top on the Nasdaq be of assistance to you as you plan your investments? Would it give you enough time to act?

A well put together trading plan should work on any time frame. If not, then you shouldn’t be using it.

The rules outlined in the Active Trader Program will work on the ‘big picture’ if you choose that time frame. It works equally well on short term time frames. As part of the Active Trader Program Online Training, you’ll work out what and when during your day you’ll be trading and that will also help you identify the best time frame for you to fit your lifestyle.

Yes! When you purchase your Active Trader Program, you’ll have access to our Trading Tutors team. This is an email based support  service where you can send in your questions and our team will be there to assist you in your trading journey. All of our Trading Tutors were once students like you, and they are all actively in the market trading for themselves. They are there to help you with any educational based questions you may have as you work through the course. They won’t give you trading advice but will assist you in mastering the techniques so you can confidently make your own decisions. This service is available to you for as long as required.

Currently, as part of the Active Trader Program we also include 3 months of group coaching. We recommend that you start this once you’ve completed all three courses to get the most out of it. Active Trader Program Coaching involves a two-hour live tutorial via webinar once a month and a mid-month recorded update. The purpose of these sessions is to show you the techniques you’ve learnt in action. You’ll see recent and current market examples across a range of markets discussed during these sessions, and they’re the perfect opportunity for you to get further clarification should you need it. Finally, each month you’ll receive our Safety in the Market Newsletter. In it you’ll see case study discussions, again showing you the techniques in action so you can continue to gain
confidence in your new skills. We recommend to get the most out of the newsletters that you take the time to recreate the work from them on your own charts to fully understand the principles as they are applied.

Once you’ve worked through all three courses, finishing with the Active Trader Program Online Training, our aim is that you’ll be finding and trading 10 to 1 or more Reward to Risk Ratio trades. What does that mean? For every $1.00 you risk on a trade, when successful you’ll receive a return of $10 or more. This is your ultimate aim at this stage, and you’ll see countless examples of trades that deliver this and more through our coaching programs and the case studies in our monthly newsletter.

When you purchase your Active Trader Program you’ll be asked to sign a Licence Agreement which is designed to ensure that this specialised method of investing will stay ‘in club’ so to speak. In this way we are all protected and can remain confident that these techniques are shared at an acceptable pace to include subscribers of quality rather than quantity.

For many people, mastering the Active Trader Program is enough and they are satisfied with the results it brings. In fact, it has been specifically compiled to be a complete Price based trading program. For those that diligently work through the courses and complete the exercises, the experience of regular trading will continue to improve their results. In fact, whether you choose to continue your studies or not, there is no greater teacher than experience.

However, we have taught people from all walks of life, from pastors to professors – and almost without exception as their skills develop, so does their thirst for knowledge. If that is true for you, then we have good news. Because the Active Trader Program is a fully online course, we do periodically add new lessons as we see fit, and you’ll receive these automatically at no extra cost.

We also periodically run free and paid webinars, coaching programs and offer additional courses to expand your trading knowledge into the use of Time and Forecasting should you chose to continue your trading journey. These are all available to you should you choose but you much first master the lessons from the Active Trader Program before you look at moving onto further studies.
