About Us — Why Thousands of Traders Have Trusted Us Since 1999


Ken Calhoun

ETFPlays.com is a division of Daytrading University.com

Daytrading University is one of the internet's premiere online interactive Nasdaq day and swing trading sites. A leader in active trainer education, we have been featured in theStreet.com, About.com, Active Trader magazine, the Online Trading Expo, and have earned numerous testimonials from both professional traders like Steve Nison, Tony Oz and Barry Rudd, as well as from the financial media.

Featured Products:

The online multimedia Daytrading University "How To Day & Swing Trade The NASDAQ/NYSE Markets" course is updated regularly with new lessons, activities and video / audio clips to stay current. This is our flagship service and has been the pioneer in helping online Nasdaq day traders learn pro tips and techniques. Daytrading University's Premium Interactive Multimedia Online Daytrading Course, originally launched in 1999, has been so popular it has spawned a host of imitator "university" and "online course" concepts, and none have yet to match the detailed, comprehensive materials we make available to our members. Everything from downloadable powerpoint worksheets and activities to hundreds of current color chart patterns and regularly updated "how to" downloadable trading movies are included.

Our latest 14 DVD Stock Trading Success System with my colleague Steve Nison has been hugely popular, garnering industry acclaim from "Technical Analysis of Stock & Commodities" (TASC) Magazine.

PLUS - our 7 DVD Traders' Secrets System with my colleague Steve Nison has also become a bestselling course, absolutely essential for all active traders to acquire.

Our Preferred Trading Techniques:
# We primarily use time & sales "tape reading" patterns with breakout & gap candlestick charts.
# Breakout & gap play open-range daytrades for 2 to 20 minute roundtrips, done before 11am.
# Volume breakouts in strongest-sector stocks on new 2-day high/low support/resistance
# Key Market internal indicators including $TRINQ, $COMPQ, trin and more
# We look at both daily gap and breakout plays as well as a core basket of trading stocks

Most importantly, we explain why trade entries and exits are of interest, based on TA indicators. like 2-day open range breakout patterns, 1-minute candlestick chart patterns and time & sales prints. We also use intraday reversals off support areas and breakthroughs above resistance patterns on volume. Note that we make absolutely no performance claims of any kind, we are not investment advisors nor do we make recommendations to buy nor sell any security, and we caution traders that daytrading is high-risk, speculative activity that is not suitable for most people.

Many traders lack the tools, training, discipline, and patience to be successful. Personally I believe that for myself, papertrading for the first couple of years before trying to trade live capital would have been a wise approach. We enjoy active trading, and wish you the best in your trading activities as well. Take your time to learn our methods, and best wishes for success with your trading, once you learn our advanced techniques.
