Frequently Asked Questions

 

I am a 30-year veteran day trader offering my experience and skill set to the trading community. My background spans commodity futures, FOREX, and stock options, supported by approximately 267 custom-designed tools—fully automated, semi-automated, and professional-grade.  A select portion of these tools are utilized within my trading room.


You may be surprised what a persistent, creative, and seasoned trader can accomplish when working alongside a highly skilled programmer. Yes, there is skepticism in this industry—and understandably so. Many traders have encountered exaggerated or false claims, short-lived “success stories,” or educators lacking real market depth.


The reality is that most individuals selling courses or indicators online will not help you reach consistent profitability. The right tools combined with the right teacher are rare—like finding a red diamond.

If you’re willing to move beyond past disappointments, even one more time, you may discover a very different experience here.


What truly sets me apart?   First, my unconventional and highly refined, 'one-of-a-kind' tool set.
Second, my ability to perform daily across various market conditions.  I am not a “one-hit wonder” or someone who thrives only once or twice a week. My focus is consistency—approaching each trading day with patience, clarity, and precise execution.


This isn’t about selling hope or hype. It’s about providing an unprecedented education built on decades of refinement—designed to elevate how you see, interpret, and engage with the S&P market.




 My goal is simple: to help struggling futures traders—especially S&P E-mini traders—become consistently profitable in the shortest reasonable timeframe.

While we can trade the NASDAQ, Dow, or Russell, our primary focus is the S&P 500 futures. Specialization creates clarity. Clarity creates consistency.


When you gain access to the right market-relevant tools, your perspective changes quickly. The difference between stress-filled guessing and informed execution is often the quality of the information you're using. Therefore, know the custom STS tools used in my room are not publicly available. They are the result of years of refinement, testing, and real-money application. You won’t find this particular combination anywhere else. 

In the room, I often communicate where I’m engaging the market—where I’m buying, where I’m selling, and why.  No after-the-fact commentary.  No vague hindsight explanations.


What This Is — and What It Isn’t

This is not a free-for-all chatroom.

This is a structured learning environment designed for traders who are serious about improvement.  There are no free trials. Over the years I’ve given away thousands of hours. This service is for professionally-minded traders who understand that skill development requires commitment.


To properly understand and apply the tools used in the room, the trading manual is essential. It will soon be available on Amazon.

Trading is a business. Businesses have operating expenses. Compared to most professional ventures, trading overhead is minimal—but it still requires investment in the right education and tools.


The Real Objective

  1. Understand how the market functions.
     
  2. Learn how to properly implement the STS tools.
     
  3. Master yourself, your entries, exits, and account growth.
     
  4. Develop consistency.
     

If you’ve never traded before, give yourself time.  Many traders spend years trying to piece together fragmented information from random sources.

With professional guidance and the right tools, that timeline can be dramatically shortened.  I typically suggest allowing 4–6 months of focused effort to truly internalize the process. From there, each trader will progress according to their own ability. Some may progress faster. Some may require more time.

Yes, it’s possible to see results quickly by simply following the trades I take. But the goal is independence—so that you understand why trades are taken and can execute with confidence on your own.  That confidence is what transitions you into the captain’s chair.


The Mental Side

Access to world-class tools is powerful.
But tools alone don’t create a world-class trader.

Mental discipline, patience, and emotional control matter. 

Markets involve psychological pressure. Until a trader learns to manage themselves, they won’t consistently manage risk.

That’s part of what we address.


The Offer

This is an opportunity to learn a skill that can serve you for life—professional guidance paired with professional tools.

Education, real-time execution, and a focused path toward consistency.

If you’re ready to stop struggling and start operating without the stress, this may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.



  

Willingness to Learn

Beyond having a reliable computer and stable internet connection, you must have the willingness to listen, observe, and learn.

With Discipline and Patience comes Precision (DPP).
Without those attributes, consistent profitability is unlikely.

These are not just slogans — they are principles we practice daily in the room. The process we follow are designed to protect both your capital and your mental clarity.


What You Receive

Once enrolled, you’ll receive the 4-month curriculum — written from real market experience.

During the training, you will learn everything you need. Below is a sample:

  • How the market truly functions
     
  • How I utilize my custom STS tools
     
  • The structured entry and exit methods I use
     
  • Risk management principles that support long-term consistency... basically everything you need to succeed!


My tools are designed to provide a complete picture. 

I’ve invested thousands of hours refining these tools and methods. 

My commitment is to serious traders who are equally committed to improving.


The Trading Room

After joining, you’ll gain access to the Red Diamond Trader Discord room.

Please create your Discord profile using your first name and last initial so I can address you personally when needed.

You should come prepared to place trades through either:

  • A demo account (with live data feed), or
     
  • A live funded account, although you will not be placing live trades right away.
     

If you are unfamiliar with placing orders through a DOM, practice with a demo account until execution becomes second nature.


My Trading Style

I use an unique combination of:

  • Order flow
  • Pro Liquidity Zones
  • Timing blocks
  • Key Price and Psychological levels

Time Commitment

This is active S&P E-mini day trading.

You should plan to be available:
9:20am – 11:45am EST, Monday through Friday


On major news days, being present around 8:20am EST can be advantageous.

There is no long-term commitment.

This opportunity is designed for individual traders operating personal accounts. *Large, professionally funded traders are excluded in order to maintain execution integrity and fill quality within the room.


*Prop traders are welcome. Most of your orders are not placed on the exchange.




 

1) The Right Tools — and Mastering Yourself


We provide the Tools.  You must provide the man (or woman).


Capital Requirements

You will need capital—either personal funds or access to a funding company.

Margins vary by broker (for example, micro contracts vs. E-mini contracts). However, brokers also impose minimum account requirements.

Your goals determine your capital needs.

Important: Avoid the urge to fund too quickly. Many traders shift from learning to “trying to earn” before they are ready. That transition often leads to unnecessary losses.  *Thus, you can take the training before you are ready to fund... and from what I have observed, this is better for many traders.


When you are prepared:

  • A minimum of $4,500 is a reasonable starting point for trading.
     
  • $7,000+ provides more flexibility.
     
  • Alternatively, a funded/prop account may be pursued
     

More capital should never be seen as permission to trade larger or looser. It is simply added flexibility—not reduced discipline.

If you do not currently have capital, focus on skill development first. Capital tends to follow competence.


Platform & Data

I personally execute futures trades through NinjaTrader, though the room references multiple software packages for analysis. Any reputable platform is acceptable as long as:

  • Your broker is reliable
     
  • You have real-time data
     

You must have live data access to participate effectively in the trading room.

If you choose to open a futures account to access live data and a demo environment, that is fine.  However, do not commit real capital until you are fully comfortable with the tools and execution process.


Communication

Please thoroughly review the information provided on this site before sending questions. Since the training requires purchasing the STS manual first, you will find many of your questions answered in the 360 page manual.

The material has been designed to address the most common and relevant inquiries. If, after reviewing everything, you still have a specific question not covered, feel free to reach out.

Here’s wishing you steady progress, disciplined execution, and many years ahead of profitable trading.


TERMS and Room Jargon

You should understand the below terms and how to place the correct orders quickly in your DOM.  We will use these terms frequently in the trading room. 


Sell/Short- If we place a SELL order (For new entry) we are expecting the Market to go down.

Buy/Long- If we place a BUY order (For new entry) we are expecting the Market to go up.

Offset- Means we currently have a position in the Market and by "offsetting" we are closing that position.  So if I am currently Long (meaning I placed a buy order earlier), then I need to place a sell order to offset the buy order.  Once the sell order is filled, I would be flat the Market... meaning I have no position now.


Exit- This word can mean the same as offsetting, meaning we are closing our position, thus exiting the Market.  (Closing out- a trade means the same.)


Enter- Means we are entering or prepared to enter the Market.

Reverse- Means we are reversing our current position in the Market.  If you click the reverse button on your DOM, it will automatically exit your current position and enter the Market going in the opposite direction with an equal amount of lots or contracts.


Limit order- Means we are entering the Market at a limit price.

Market order- Means we are entering the Market immediately.

Stop order- Stop orders are usually utilized to protect a position against loss, but can also be used to enter the Market.


The process of trading futures is not complicated. We can either sell or buy to enter a position with the click of the mouse and another click to exit... all within seconds or minutes.  The skill is learning when to click the mouse.  You will learn this in my room.


QUICK RECAP

  • Besides understanding and utilizing 'Market Relevant' tools, you will discover that _(mental)_ preparedness and your _(mental)_ state will have more to do with your success than any other single thing.
     
  • You will discover that your _(emotions)_ will be your biggest enemy when it comes to trading successfully.
     
  • Applying the right _(skill/methods)_, _(information)_, _(tools)_ and _(money management)_ is critical and necessary if you are to succeed long term as a day trader.
     
  • There is no way you are going to have lasting _(success)_  without confidence and understanding the auction process. Without _(both)_ you’re not going to take decisive action time and time again.   Note: It's difficult to develop confidence if you have inferior or irrelevant tools.
  • Prepare your mind and develop the skills so you do not have to rely upon PHD (or luck). (Prayer, hope and despair)


  • REMEMBER our DPP (D+P=P) motto: Discipline, Patience and finally Precision. 


ROOM REVIEWS

  

● Take it from a complete beginner. The principles, tools, and Trading Room that Red Diamond Trader offers will provide you with everything you need to be a successful trader.   Jonathan C.


  

● RDT has engaged his many years of trading experience to create a chart with strategic precision. He includes the essential tools for entry and exit strategies while eliminating clutter. His program includes a manual he developed describing the use and function of each tool.  He hosts his own training room which is a clean, fun, and educational environment.  I am thankful for the opportunity to work remote which enables me the time freedom to support my husband's pastoral ministry in a growing, thriving church.  Wendy S.


● Recently sent to me> I think what you offer is great. Getting to watch a professional trader is really valuable. And the manual is full of good stuff.  G. B.


● If you haven't experienced the magic of the 'Red/green' lines, then be prepared to be blown away.  MT


   Some might be intrigued to know I ran a few of my Tools through AI to see if there could be any improvements.  AI's response was... your systems are highly advanced, very sophisticated and Institutional grade... AI's words.  I'm pleased to have that endorsement.  (and yes we were able to make some upgrades)


-For the visitors, I tend to get a lot more positive verbal feedback in the room or via email than I do written testimonies.  I've yet to see another trader approach the Market as comprehensively as  I do.  The closest I've seen is Ray from Compass Trade Group (because I took training from him).  However, I feel my tools are more thorough/advanced and easier to read. (Most all proprietary).


*To those visiting my site, I've recently went "public" with my services. 

I've spent the last few months training, getting feedback from a few amateur traders and refining my Tools so the process of learning is as effective as I can make it for new traders.  So if you are interested in learning from a 30-year dedicated veteran trader,  please sign up for the 4- month mentorship!

You are going to see tools you've never seen and learn things you never knew!
