For over a year, Shadowtraders did not enroll new students in its Futures Trading Education. We traded our own accounts. But with so many people looking for additional income or unemployed, Shadowtraders has finally re-opened its Emini Futures Course with brand new software. Right now you can learn to be trading futures in the privacy of your own home: EMini, Currency trading, Dow Futures, S&P 500 EMini Futures.

Watch our demos, including one in front of 140 participantsLive Trading Movies See for yourself how important getting futures education to trade the Futures Market can be and how you can learn to be trading online.

Here's what happened in the chatroom when Goldman Sachs was charged with fraud

Shadowtraders held its 4 day futures trading seminar event July 17-20 2010. Read the testimonials from the students attending:

I just reattended the 4 Day Seminar and I have to say it was eye-opening the second time around. After getting my feet wet with futures and swinging hard between stellar and disastrous results I figured I needed to review my basics. Boy, was I right! Barb Cohen has such an incredibly in-depth understanding of both the market and computer programming that her insights put a LOT of things I was missing into perspective. In addition to the chatroom, one of the huge benefits of ShadowTraders is the ability to retake the seminar again at no additional charge. This review just made all the difference for me in my overall understanding of trading and the very special fundamental and technical insights Barb has developed. I HIGHLY recommend ShadowTraders to anyone serious about becoming a profitable trader. This program offers market insights you will not get anywhere else that are applicable to both the equities and futures markets. If you want to be a better trader, don’t think, just do it. Angela

Barbara: The re-take of the 4-day trading seminar really helps to solidify trading knowledge and was a wonderful experience. The new upgrades for Shadowtrader software looks like it can really help proficiency in everyday trading. Looking forward to more learning in the trading chatroom and in the additional refinements on the trading strategies from Shadowtraders. Thanks a million,J

Dear Barbara:I enjoyed your training session and learned a ton of information that I hope to see me through to trade successfully in the future. The coverage of information is extensive; yet even traders who are new to the futures markets can understand the simplicity of how you teach your methods. I look forward to the live training sessions on Monday and Tuesday and am generally excited to finally get a chance to chart my own financial destiny. Respectfully, Tom

Hi Barbara, I'd like to thank you and Jim for the classes. You both have been so kind and the instruction is always great. I'd like to say for any new people that wonder about your course, I have researched several other products online before I picked ShadowTraders and your course is by far the best of any I have ever seen. Some of the things you teach took me many years of trading to learn and you teach it all in one course. The thing that impressed me the most initially was the fact that your seminars online showed everything from the current day of trading. It wasn't something that happened weeks or months ago for examples, it happened that day. I like your indicators and your strategies. I have to admit I was a little slow at first but that has made me a better trader. When I started out, I couldn't pick a direction for a trade if my life depended on it. Now, I not only pick the right direction, I can make 4 ticks very easily on a single trade. I use Melanie's clear trade technique and can gain ticks easily in any market. Thank you for all the effort you have put into this course, and for anyone that doesn't know, your group is very special because you really want to see your students succeed. Thank you very much, Bill

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. IT IS THE 3RD TIME I ATTEND THIS 4-DAY SEMINAR AND AS ALWAYS I FIND INFORMATION I DIDN'T KNOW. BARBARA'S PRESENTATION SKILLS ARE SO GREAT WHICH ALLOW A 100 % UNDERSTANDING OF FUTURES TRADING. THE DATA AND THE STRATEGIES ARE TRUE AND THEY WORK. IT IS GREAT ENJOYMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN SHADOW TRADERS WEBINARS AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DARIUS

I have traded futures for twenty years, losing more money than I made. But I never lost the vision that there was profit to be made. My 2009 broker helped me profit 30 % and I thought I had found my niche, but he helped me more than I knew at the time because he got me started with Ninja Trader. A Ninja webinar on Shadower Traders and I was intrigued enough that I had to find out the truth. With some skepticism and a few encouraging phone conversations with Melanie Son, I made the purchase and my first 4-day seminar Barbara Cohen made me a believer. She is the true indicator. The seminar is very intense and enlightening, and at times liberating my mind of the cobwebs that this is way more than I can do. My words cannot due justice to Barbara's knowledge and her definition of the fundamentals of the market, I invite you to see for yourself. Thank you International Ladies of Shadow Traders. Curt

Although I have taken your four day seminar before, I always learn something new to help me become a better trader. This seminar has helped me identify some of my foolish trading choices. Now with a better understanding, I will now have better alternatives to choose from. Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated. I would recommend Shadowtraders to beginning and experienced traders. I.D.

After today's class, I immediately began trading the 6A with 5 contracts at a time, without doubling up or down, and by just applying the market-savvy information that I learned this weekend (in just the first two days of the 4-day seminar). Below are my stats, showing that I reached my target of $1,040, in less than 1.5 hours of trading, with zero drawdown, and 100% successful trades! If this isn't a toast to ShadowTraders and a testimonial one can believe in, I can't imagine what would be! So far, the first half of the 4-day seminar has been a breathtaking and mind-opening comprehensive survey of financial futures trading that I believe can literally prepare one for a lifetime of successful trading. We are all fortunate to have such effective subject-matter expertise available to us, as well as fortunate to have both you and Melanie Son as our ShadowTraders mentors.BRAVO! John

Thank you and your team for the VERY helpful educational seminar you have put together and delivered. Here is what I found OUTSTANDING yesterday and today. Your refocusing the class to a trading class, not an indicator class, etc. Saturday’s material was especially helpful to me. The fact that fundamentals trump technicals and almost everything else really hit home. There really is another calendar other then the Forex Factory, it is the markets daily calendar that includes run up to news, news, opening gaps, 10&2, 10:15, etc. The thing that was really helpful for me is that you quantified each. I heard you before, but I typically just avoided the market at these times, I shouldn’t do this. Sunday’s class while there were the essential technicals presented they were discussed in the application to your individual trading. The trading examples were excellent. I’m not a gap trader, I tend to be too cautious and slow, but I really like the clear trade, and I try to never miss one of Melonie’s training sessions, I really relate to her. Your asking questions was really helpful. While I saw most of the trades ahead of time, a few I would have traded differently, what I consider more conservatively. I typically like both the 13 & 20 going in the direction when I want to go in. There were to really helpful hints, for me, in this class: a) 85+% consistency on the simulator (I find 1X to slow and prefer 4X) AND b) just plain look at charts and identify clear trades and gap trades. Would it be possible to post a few charts on the website and then have either Davia and/or Melanie discuss the trades, and how they would have traded them.

Thank you very much for a most excellent presentation on the futures! Each time I re-attend, I pick up a little more. I am really looking forward to getting back into the chatroom to apply some of the ah-ha moments to trading. Muchos Gracious! Jeff

I just wanted to tell you how much i have enjoyed the first two days of the seminar. You would not believe how much I learned. I only wish I had met you earlier. Alan

Thank you very much for a most excellent presentation on the futures! Each time I re-attend, I pick up a little more. I am really looking forward to getting back into the chatroom to apply some of the ah-ha moments to trading. Muchos Gracious! Jeff

Barbara. Thanks for the training so far. We both enjoyed the material and the way Shadowtraders continually updates the course to provide such knowledge about an ever changing market. This can only help us become better more consistent traders. Thank you, Steve and Leigh

After I first signed up for your course I told all my friends that I referred that they would not have to take the 4 day seminar because all the training they will need is on the website. WRONG. Even though all the training IS on the website, the seminar brings everything together in a cram packed 9:00am to 6:00pm every day. Barbara gave us 20 minute lunch the first day and Melanie gets so excited about her teaching that it was 1:30 before she gave us a lunch break. These ladies are the most knowledgeable and passionate about their course and it shows. The Fourth day I was in Melanie's class all day which was live trading and she was flipping between contracts to find trade set ups for us. Melanie was up over 3K and even made over $1300 on the news trade. I stayed with the E-Mini and made $1187.50 for the day. Last Thursday I did my first news trade and made over $2500 in 3 seconds on 2 contracts!! This was my first FREE retake of the 4 Day Seminar which I strongly advise. Two weeks after a seminar you forget 75% of what you thought you had learned. This was so worth my time and could not believe all that I had forgotten from the first seminar. If after taking this course with these ladies and you can't make a living trading full time then you need to find a day job and forget about trading. Thanks Barbara and Melanie-so glad I found you. Ron

Just a few comments from my month of July so far. I have yet to have a losing day, and that includes trading on some Sunday evenings. I have found looking for setups and using the indicators to be very profitable and pretty easy to find. I also find the news trades work well if you check the price action. So my advice to the new traders is to spend the time to get proficient with the strategies, and attend the chat room daily. I also think the Wednesday webinars are very worthwhile. Best regards, Gary

Thank you to you and the entire team that put on the excellent four day event. My eyes have been opened. Order a new computer yesterday that'll take about a week to arrive and then, hopefully, I won't struggle too much getting all setup. My current computers are to old and slow to function well. Dean

I just want to compliment you on the 4-DayWebinar that you presented on July 17th-20th. This was the second time I attended and I got a lot more insight to the markets operation and how to trade profitably. Barbara has so much knowledge to the markets inside operation it is great she can give us details at such a great price. Melanie is great explainign her cookie cutter trade plan and how to be successful at implementing it. Again thanks for a great 4 day webinar. Peter

Can I just say...ShadowTraders is incredible! Barbara and Melanie really know the markets and trading. They're 100% right - trading is 50% Fundamentals and 50% Technicals - and being a shadowtrader gives me the advantage to be consistently profitable in my trades. On the live 4th day of trading during the seminar, using all the tools they gave me over the previous 3 days, I was able to make $660 trading one contract ($500) with a 100% success rate on my trades...ShadowTraders ROCKS!

Hi to Barbara, Melanie and Davia .... the Trading Dream Team!!! I have spent a small fortune (ten’s of thousands of dollars) over the last 4 or 5 years on my trading education, and FINALLY for the first time, I feel whole and complete with what I learnt. Prior to attending the Shadow Trader’s 4 day seminar, after completing the various different seminars, webinars, CD training or whatever, I always felt there was something missing. And ... this was confirmed whenever I put what I learnt into practice. The results I got were patchy at best, or worst case scenario, blew up another trading account. In the first 3 days after the course, I have already reversed my loosing trend and am now starting to make winning trades and my confidence in my knowledge about what the market is doing, and more importantly, what I am doing, is growing all the time. I’m still a little gun shy after all my past losing experiences, however I can already see myself being transformed as a trader. The training and education you provide, together with the ongoing support through the Chat room , weekly classes and website, is truly generous and demonstrates the commitment that the Shadow Traders team has in helping all its students become professional, winning, profitable traders. I set myself a goal to become a full time, professional futures trader 4 years ago, and now I can see that dream coming true. Thank you.... I’m sooooo glad I found you. Diane. Your new #1 Fan.

Well after taking the course, I feel inspired and completely able to get my arms around the subject. Prior to attending the course I have listened to my partner bang on about the complexity of trading, to a point that I doubted my own intellectual ability to grasp any of it. I had been looking at some of his books etc and concluded yes it is very broad subject fully of 'the market should behaviour like this but not in all cases'. However, I felt that somewhere in all of this material what was missing was clear approachable guidelines, of be observant work with fundamentals check and articulate your thinking, the rationale and then do it. I now feel that I have been given clear information a set of tools and it is up to me to develop from this the skills and confidence to trade. I am truly thrilled and excited and want to do it all now, but no I am going to carefully go through all the materials make a list make a plan and just get on with it. More importantly I look forward to working with shadow traders as my skill set develops.

Be Forewarned...This is NOT a typical trading seminar!

Here's a little of what you'll learn in our Emini Futures Trading Online Course:

Trading strategies you can use to make successful trades daily - in just an hour or two of trading, especially for the financial futures Market, Emini futures and Dow futures,

How to trade electronically, training with a Simulator that keeps up with the Futures Market Real Time. Trade successfully on the Simulator before you trade LIVE with real money

Trading software with Real Time Entries. The key to trading the Futures Market is having trading software that can give you consistent Real Time Entry Points. Shadowtraders now offers trading software with Advanced Fractal Analytics and pinpoint accurate Interday and Intraday Trading Pivots, both LEADING indicators. Even if you don't go through the entire Emini Futures trading course, being able to trade with Pivots and Fractal Geometry is worth the price!

Dear Trader

My name is Barbara Cohen. I am the CIO of Shadowtraders. I've been trading online for over 10 years.

My first introduction to online trading was as a computer programmer. I had a broker who had a computer system on his desktop. He led me to believe that his system gave him real time indicators to know when to buy and sell. I figured that if his programmer could create a trading system, so could I.

So I bought a book of 750 pages of trading formulas. I coded each one, looking for indicators that worked in different Market conditions. I backtested and backtested. But after months of backtesting, I realized there was far more to trading than just technical analysis formulas. I needed to know what the insiders knew, understand their secrets. I knew I had to shadow them, buy when they buy and sell when they sell. But how?

It took me years of meeting the right people, learning from experience, and most important, losing money, to finally develop trading indicators that make me a consistent trader. It is said, until you lose money you are not a trader....I qualify to be called a Trader (Psst...after I had spent hundreds of hours developing a trading system with real time buy and sell alerts, I found out that my broker's trading system actually never did provide entry and exit signals, it just gave quotes.)

But look. You don't need to go through the same learning curve I did to be trading futures. For a limited time, you can now have the same trading strategies I use every day in futures trading. Understand, I cannot promise you the same results as me. Why? Because I don't know you. I don't know if you are serious about trading futures. Mostly, I don't know your work ethic.

I can't guarantee that every trade you make will be successful. My guarantee is to give you the exact same trading strategies I use every day when I am trading futures, especially EMini Futures. Bottom line...we are trading enthusiasts, could you tell?

Your trading friend,
Barbara Cohen
