Floyd discusses CNP & PIE chart studies

Floyd Upperman is known around the world for his trading abilities and uncanny record of identifying important turning points in the markets.  He is also one of the most prominent experts in the U.S. government commitments of traders ("COT") report. 

Floyd's trading systems work with futures and options. His strategies go beyond what most retail traders focus on. His methods are not complicated, but they are complex and require time and work to fully appreciate.

Floyd is a world renowned commodity trader and trading system developer.

Our CNP (Custom Navigation Program) lets traders TEST their trading skills in a very unique fashion!  There is no way to cheat using our CNP calendar "look back" feature! We have eliminated the temptation to cheat with "Scrolling charts"!  Our CNP takes real snap-shots of the markets on each day and provides a real history on a day-by-day basis dating back years!  Traders can test their skills going back to past periods and stepping through our daily and weekly price charts one day at a time!  Each day forward the charts update and the trader can see how well they did and how well our tools and strategies did anticipating the market movement! 

Floyd's commodities trading and futures trading strategies are based on many years of market observations and trading experience. He's been around and seen it all, from the crash of 1987 to the tech wreck at the end of the 1990's.  During this time he predicted the end of the commodities bear market and beginning of the next bull market.  He predicted a shift into commodities following the real estate collapse in 2008.  Between 1997 and 2004 Floyd turned wildly bullish on gold (under $400/oz) and recommended longer-term investments in both gold and silver at that time (note: silver was trading around $5 an ounce).  In 1998 he also wrote a special report where he predicted the end of the bear market in commodities and the beginning of the next commodities bull market (note: at the time of his report, crude oil was trading around $10 a barrel).

Floyd has spent years developing trading systems that combine data contained in the U.S. government commitments of traders (COT) reports with unique price studies. "Fancy charts and rows of monitors aren't going to do what a robust method can do for your trading", according to Floyd. "It all comes down to having a method that can provide an edge, having faith in the method, and the discipline to adhere to the rules."

The knowledge gained through personal observation using our CNP can greatly enhance a traders abilities in real trading situations by increasing confidence, which is essential to success when faced with difficult trading decisions. The CLBF is a unique and powerful tool that gives traders the ability to go back in time to specific dates in the past and walk through previous trading opportunities, stepping forward one day at a time. This gives traders the opportunity to review the specific behavior changes to the indicators price patterns leading up to and throughout previous trading opportunities.
