====================================================================

Norman Hallett, the Internet's leading expert on trader discipline, is about to start accepting students for his next ONLINE training, "The Disciplined Trader" Intensive Program.

"The Disciplined Trader" online program will be limited to 300 students to insure that every student finishes the program
with ice-in-the-veins control to run their trading plan...

=> No More Missed Trades
(you know, the ones that became big winners, but you hesitated to get in when you were given the signal)

=> No More Lifting Your Protective Stops
(because you didn't want the floor traders to 'take you out' only to see the market go back up without you... and the result... a big loss instead of a small one).

=> No More Stumbling Into a HUGE Losing Trade That Wipes
Out All The Profit You've Accumulated for the Week
(because you got cocky).

=> No More Excuses for NOT Following Your Trading Plan.

(imagine what your account balance would be today, if you
were TOTALLY disciplined?)
