Interview with Seven Summits Trader Member: Brad Niskanen Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of interacting with new SST Member, Brad Niskanen, regarding the new SST Pro and some interesting tradeplans that he had been working on. Brad came into the fold via the live traderoom and before too long, he was requesting a way to get his hands on the SST Pro. While it was not on the market at the time, we do make it available from time to time to members of the live traderoom when they ask about it. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. What struck me about Brad was how quickly he immersed himself into learning the method and in a very short amount of time, probably less than a few weeks, he was already working on his own unique way of using the SST Pro, researching and working out his own …
Talking Trader Taxes Taxes. They’re a pain. And as a trader, you face even MORE questions… Do you qualify for trader tax status? Should you elect market-to-market accounting? Can you benefit from an entity? Is an investment-management business or incubator fund right for you? The list goes on! You could go to your neighborhood accountant but often times, even they’re not too sure (after all, most people *don’t trade*). In response to this common concern, we’ve contacted our friend, Robert Green over at Green Trader Tax to give you a handle on what things you can do, and what things you can’t (and where to seek further advice). Obviously, you should consult with Robert (or another suitable tax advisory) for your own personal situations but this interview and webinar should give you a good idea on what type of questions you need to ask. Robert A. Green is a CPA …
The Basics of Kagi Charts Introduction Several years ago we started using range and Renko charts with our systems here at NetPicks. This has piqued people’s interest in some of the other more esoteric chart types. In this article we’ll introduce you to Kagi charts. Kagi (rhymes with touchy) charts were developed in the 1870’s in Japan, and many of us in the US first learned about them from Steve Nison in his book Beyond Candlesticks. Like Renko charts, Kagi charts are independent of time and have the virtue of filtering out much of the market noise, thereby giving a clear indication of price trend. Basics Looking at a Kagi charts you might think you’re seeing a very long snake gradually weaving its way to the right. There appear to be no distinct price bars as you’d see in time based, Renko or other charts, but that’s simply due to …

Mark: Brian, tell me a little bit about your background and how you got started in trading? Brian: Thanks Mark, I got started about 25 years ago. At that point, I would have called myself a buy and hold trader. That was in the mid- 1980’s and early 1990’s where I would basically take the recommendation of my broker and act on it. That worked well for the 1990’s. As we know now, that market simply went straight up and you couldn’t do anything wrong. That was my first exposure to trading. Towards the end of the 1990’s and early 2000’s, this mechanism broke. I took a pretty good hit, but didn’t lose everything I made through the 1990’s. However, it caused me to take a step back. I realized I wanted to take control of my trading. That’s when I began to search for a way to do intraday …
