There is a conflict of interest that exists between high
commission paid full service brokers and you. The bottom line 
is.. They make money when you trade. The brokerage industry 
is heavily regulated largely because of the problems associated
with full service brokers 'churning' accounts to make commissions.
Be careful not to let it happen to you.  If you suspect a broker
has been churning your account (Making recommendations for the 
sole purpose of collecting commissions),  You may want to 
report him or her to the NFA and file a formal complaint. The 
NFA settles these disputes and often settles them in favor of 
the trader, especially if their investigation shows unethical
behavior by the broker, or brokerage firm. 

The permanent solution to this problem is to not deal with 
the full-service brokers at all.  The truth is, if the full
service broker was really good at trading and timing the 
markets like many of them claim to be, they would be trading 
for themselves and their families instead of trading for you.
Think about it. If you really want to become a professional
and make money in this business, you are going to need to do 
some work on your own.  That is what I can assist you with. 

Discount brokers make money on an hourly basis, or sometimes 
based on the number of calls they answer and the number of 
orders they place. They are prohibited from giving advice or
recommending trades. The fee for their service is between $10 
and $25 r.t. As a professional trader, you want to keep your
transaction costs low, especially in the beginning when you 
are just learning.   You also want to make your own trading 
decisions based on a system, set of rules, or a method.  
This is critical.  One of the important keys to success is 
consistency.  In order to be consistent in your trading approach,
you must have a plan of attack, a system, methods for dealing 
with losing and winning trades as well as determining risks.
Again, this is where I can assist you.

The technology available today also allows traders to place 
orders on-line using their computer.   This removes the broker 
out of the equation almost entirely.  The on-line fees are 
often even less than the discount broker!  This is certainly 
the way to go as far as execution goes.

Using a full service broker to make trades for you,  the probabilities of making a profit after commissions are very slim.  Your profits get sucked away by the commissions.  Losses are even worse because again, you pay commissions on the losses as well. 

Using a discount service, you increase your probability to profit, by simply reducing your costs. Add $79 a month for access to my system and your costs are still far less than with the high paid broker, but more importantly, you remove the conflict of interest.

This savings alone can increase your bottom line! Remember, your cost for using my system is only a fixed $79 per month!

My Service also provides you with daily updated price graphs, charts & indicators!
Just subscribing to a data service can cost $79 a month.  You get that included
with my system.  Our system combines both fundamental & technical data with 
proprietary indicators and my methods.  Once you learn the system, you can use 
it for the rest of your life! 

Rather than depending upon a full service broker to make your decisions, using an
outside source like Floyd Upperman & Associates to teach you how to follow the
markets on your own, you eliminate the very real conflict of interest which exists
between a commission paid full-service broker and yourself.  Think about it. Your
objective should be to learn what makes the markets tick and to learn how to become
independent in your own analysis, decision making process and placing orders.  Full
service brokers don't want to teach you this out of fear they will be out of a job!
I've spent the last 10 years studying the markets, piece by piece and bit by bit.
I have no problem teaching you what I've learned, all of it, I'll hold nothing back.
In fact, I find it very challenging and rewarding to help others learn and to see
them prosper in this exciting business as I have.   

I am a registered CTA and Independent Futures Trader, I am willing to teach you how to
follow the markets and make your own decisions using my proprietary system, methods
and indicators.  I know what it takes to be successful in trading. I am very honest
and up-front about the risks involved and the hard-work, dedication and persistence
required for success in this business. If you are serious about trading and really
want to know what it takes to be successful, then I challenge you to read through my
web-site and learn what I have to offer. If you have questions, email me and I will
personally and promptly take the time to answer your email.

NO TRADING SYSTEM CAN GUARANTEE PROFITS
No guarantees can be made for success.  Past performance is not a guarantee of future profits. 
Futures trading is NOT my only means of income.  I also invest in stocks, real estate as well as 
generate income from other businesses. I have both winning trades and losing trades. 
I trade professionally, but not daily.  I wait for what I believe to be ideal trading opportunities. 

Very Respectfully,
