Stock Trading Education Room

Dan is the person who runs this room. He is quite a character who works out of his home office. Dan trades during the day and is quite good about communication what stocks he is looking at, what criteria he is going to use to enter a trade, at what price he is going to enter the trade, what the risk is for that trade, and where he thinks the profit targets are going to be. Overall, his approach is very educational. Many of the trades are ‘plain vanilla’ in that you buy a certain price and then sell once the price gets into the target zone. Sounds simple, but it’s not.

Dan is when very patient and takes the time to explain why he’s doing something, or not doing something. Dan trades both sides of the market {Long and Short Positions} in that he is a profit opportunist, which is a good thing. He is constantly evaluating what the profit targets are for various stocks each day, and then evaluates that target profit potential against the stop loss risk you have to use. Based on this risk / reward, along with his insight as to which trades will actually behave in the planned manner, Dan will advise as to if that trade has value, versus a money loser most likely.

Dan provides a nightly video review of the day and then also provides his analysis and stock picks for the next day. Once the daily trading is underway, Dan continues to look for additional stocks that may have opportunity for that day. If anyone in the room has a question about other stocks, Dan is happy to answer questions and provide his insight.

Dan does not have a Trading School, but rather has a Trading Room where he answers questions as they arise. As such I think someone who is starting out with Dan needs to already have a background of stock market basics [like charting, trading platform operation, and order entry]. Many of the other people in the room are experienced traders as well, and also add valuable insight to potential trades.

I’ve been with Dan for six months, and have learned a lot. My trading is much better than when I started with him. Previous to Dan, I had spent six months with a large Trading School where I learned a lot of necessary basics, but was mostly losing money. Dan’s room takes things to the next level and helps you to becoming consistently profitable, but you need to have the time to invest in your education. With Dan’s help, I think I’m going to be long term successful as a trader.

Best educations trading site.

First of all, accessatrader is run by a guy who is a professional trader, have years doing the job under all kind of circumstances of the market. Not only that, but Dan Shapiro is a great communicator who explains clearly his strategy, when to buy, when to sell, and how to do all this (most important) with good money management, so you wont ever put your account on risk.

*What is accessatrader: it consists on at least 8 hours online event (aka webinar) with a chatroom available where you also communicate with other traders. This event completes with a nightly update: every night Dan writes a summary of what happened during the day (he is a very good and funny writer) with a watchlist of stocks to watch next day which are ready to break (and others ready to breakdown for shorts), and when to buy. And a nightly video showing all the day summary and explaining the watchlist on chartviews. The watchlist contains great risk/rewards setups, where if in case the setup fails, you will have a minimum loss, and in case they work (as most usually) you will have important gains.

*When is open: starts hour and half before market opens finishes when market close, but there will be some more traders in the chat room trading after hours specially on earnings.

What you find in the room: First there is a review of the market situation, a brief review of stocks sent the night before in the nightly update. Once market opens and the action starts Dan will go filtering the watchlist and finding many other setups to add to watch. Plus, if you are interested in any particular stock you can ask him and he is always willing to give you his point of view and help. Also, there is a streaming news service which is useful for trading PRs, Eearnings, which if you wouldnt be suscribed to the accessatrader service, you would need to pay as or even more just for the news.

*The best part: people in the room. You will find different level of traders: begginers, intermediate, advanced, all are joined together by the same objective of making green days in their calendars. You will find big solidarity, sharing of experience and traders experts on different strategies: there are experts on options, others are experts on fundamentals, biotechnologies, pennystocks, and so on. It is remarkable that there are really many talented guys besides Dan, always sharing their trades and finding big runners.

*What we trade: mainly technical breakouts, charts, press releases, on micro caps, big caps, mid caps, fundamental, options, and so on.

*What IS NOT: accessatrader is not an alert service. And that for me is the best part, cause in an alert service maybe you can make some money, but you will never understand why you made it. Here is all about education and discipline which will lead you to big gains, and avoid big losses.



I hope this review can be read by people who dedicates to trading with poor performance and dont understand what they do wrong. I would suggest anybody to give a try to Dan’s online lessons. I am really glad to find this site in an early stage of my trading career and lead me to avoid many mistakes I would do without everything I learnt here.

The Coach every trader should have

I feel compelled to respond to a review given that gives this group a poor rating. I started using accessatrader.com in October 2011. At the time I was using another stock service that would tell me when to buy and sell stocks for three years. I was not really making any money and could not figure out why. I joined Dan's room thinking I would try and see what he had to offer. I would ask him what he thought about a particular stock's chart and whether it was a buy or a sell. If his opinion disagreed with my own I would scoff at it and make the trade anyway and lose money. At that time while I did not realize it, I did not know how to properly buy a stock, properly sell a stock, make a watch list, position size, or read a tape. All these things Dan has taught me to do. Dan is there as a coach, a person to bounce ideas off of. As he says himself, was Michael Jordan's coach a better basket ball player than him? Certainly not, but he still had a coach. His community has excellent traders that trade for a living. Everyone shares ideas and thoughts in stocks, options, and the overall market. The idea of this room is not to follow Dan's trades, but to learn to trade on your own. That is more valuable than just trade alerts. But there is a learning curve. If you don't give yourself time to watch and learn, you may feel like you're wasting time. If the market is not a good market and there are not trade set ups to trade, why would you want to risk your capital in that kind of environment? One thing I had to learn was it was better to trade one or two quality trades than to make ten trades just to trade. You actually make more money with quality trades than more quantity trades. With his room you have to dismiss the idea that penny stocks are worthless or dangerous. He teaches you how to make more money in a ten or twenty cent move in a two or three dollar stock than a dollar move in a fifty dollar stock. You have to dismiss your previous ideas or beliefs about the market and have an open mind. There is a watch list every day that Dan creates and even gives you the buy or sell point. It is up to you to take or not take the trade. Dan tells you where he would sell any trade you or he makes. He does not front run you but tells you exactly where he is going to buy and sell. There are also trades in aapl, goog, nflx, bidu, but this community does focus primarily on small cap names. If that is not your style, then so be it. Dan the moderator is an excellent and genuine human being that will do whatever he needs to do in order to help someone. I encourage anyone that wants to learn to try it out but also give it a month or two to sink in. This is my true story and experience. You can find me in the room everyday.

Not worth the money.

After trying this website the main trader basically doesn't trade. Maybe one stock a day for chance at making 1 %. Most of the plays seemed to be flipped for a penny or two. he talks about being safe then plays a stock like PGRX at 1.60 or obscure Chinese stocks that barely trade.

Great site.....

First and foremost if you want straight forward high quality education this is the place for you. If you are looking for just picks, then I am afraid this isn’t the place for you. Dan prides himself, and rightfully so, on teaching each and every trader who wants to educate himself. I can attest on numerous occasions I had the chance to chat via text, emails and even personal phone calls with Dan on concerns about my trading. The chat room is occupied with some highly talented traders who are willing to get involved as well. Although I have left the scene due to some unforeseen circumstances beyond my control, “work schedule”, I plan on one day returning to Accessatrader. My hats are off to you Dan for such great commitment to yourself, business and your trading community. As you would say “it’s for the kids”… LT

Review from a part-time trader's eyes

As a part-time member of AccessaTrader I am beyond satisfied and proud to be a part of the room. I will not sit here and tell you how much I've gained, or preach about Dan's trading ideas, because that would only devalue what it means to be a part of AccessaTrader. Accessatrader is about education, being a true professional, and continued personal development. I am amazed at the pace at which I have learned, it's exponential. Dan has taught me patience, discipline, charting and trading techniques, and trades with me EVERYDAY. Dan has been so dedicated, he responds to questions I may have via text message, AIM, email, and phone at all hours. Why would he sacrifice THAT much time and energy for one person when he is such a successful trader whose time is so valuable? I believe Accessatrader truly cares about each members development, both full and part-time alike. The respect for education is contagious within the room; I am now learning from and communicating with multiple members of the room, learning different strategy and ideology everyday.

Accessatrader has given me the confidence, support, and education it takes to be a professional....if you take advantage, like I have, you will succeed.

Zero to Hero Trading - Learn with a professional trader!!

I have been with AccessaTrader.com just under two months. This is a phenomenal place for the newbie and the seasoned trader alike. Dan Shapiro, the moderator of the room is a professional trader with skins on the wall. He has traded the internet craze days, but truly became a better trader after the market collapses and wild swings of the 2000's. He is a coach to the members in the room, but please note, there are truly other great traders in the room too. This says a lot about these professionals because many are already successful in their own right. They too are learning from Dan, but they also reciprocate by sharing their vast knowledge, skills, and trading ideas. This place is truly a family setting. Furthermore, this is not a text chat room only, but Dan is broadcasting live with video charting to the members and all see his moves instantaneously. He makes his living from trading and the room has only been inexistence since last February. One can follow him, but frankly the emphasis is on acquiring one's own unique trading strategy or by proper education. With this in mind, questions are asked frequently and answered promptly. One can ask about their stock setups and get Dan's feedback. Thus, the end result is to stand on one's own feet so we all can trade independently. Afterall, every trader who follows exactly what another does will be disappointed and likely see his account decreased eventually.

For me, the experience has been most positive. Frankly, I started out in the room still practicing my bad habits of chasing, poor exit strategy, and overtrading. After two weeks of losing, I went on a streak of 10/12 winners. The one negative during that stretch was my account would be much larger if I allowed my winners to run. Still, the improvement has been exciting. The last two weeks have been choppy, but the great thing is I recognize the errors. Honestly, I have much to learn, and being in AccessATrader is keeping me excited about the future of my trading account. There are no guarantees and trading is sometimes a boring endeavor as one waits for the next stock to rise, but if one wants to work hard, study, and get involved in a great stocktrading room then it is inevitable that success comes their way.

2012 will be a year of successful trading because of my subscription to www.AccessaTrader.com. I plan on submitting another review next Fall - that's my plan to continue in the room. If it's working, then there's no reason to reinvent the wheel. Regards!!

Best place to learn how to trade like a pro.

For the last year and a half I’ve been in different stock sites learning how to trade or at least that’s what I thought until I tried to trade on my own and realized I hadn’t learned anything, all I knew how to do was follow the chat moderator (frontrunner) and buy and sell when instructed.

That’s when I heard about Accessatrader.com and decided to give it a try for a week. I can’t believe how much I learned in only one week and realized how blindly I was trading without knowing the reason why buying or selling XYZ stock. Dan the chat moderator really has showed me a different way of looking at the markets. You will not find better education for a better price anywhere else. Thank you Dan and thanks to your excellent crew.
