Andy’s E-mini 40™ Trading Method
He’s
Done It Again!
Andy Has Come Up with a Great NEW
Way to Day Trade
the E-mini S&P 500
for More Steady, Profitable Gains
Much thinking, research and testing went into this method. Andy says, “It’s a great working method — making even more money than before.”
Dear Friend,
We are still releasing Andy’s E-mini Bar 40™! The amazing E-mini 40 continues to astound all who trade it. It is a well-seasoned method, and we’ve had it working for over 2 years. If you know Andy Jordan, a professional spread trader, you know he is a person who not only trades for himself, but also sincerely cares about the success of our students when it comes to trading.

Andy has come up with a new way to LIMIT RISK while nailing down more regular and steady profits. If you’ve want a safer and easier way to trade, Andy’s E-mini Bar 40™ is for YOU.
Trading success can be yours. Simply grasp what we are telling you! When you see a method that makes $7,000, $8,000, $9,000 each year trading a single contract, then use your imagination. All YOU have to do is work your way up to a 10-lot and you will make 10 times MORE than those figures.
Right from the beginning Andy was so excited about his new method that he called me on the weekend to talk about it, before we first released it in the summer of 2005.
“Joe, I’m sending you the
equity charts and statistical tables for one year. I ran the
method showing $10 all the way down to $5 per round turn commissions — which
is what I’m paying. The method is really moving, Joe.
It’s giving lots of trades, and there is enough volatility
in the E-mini so that I almost always make my profit objectives.
Joe, it’s working better than 70% of the time! What
more could anyone want? If they can’t
make money with this, they need to take a job flipping hamburgers!
“I think when traders look at the maximum drawdown they
will love this method of trading. My E-mini Bar 40™
method produces profits without the pain of huge drawdowns
that you see in other methods that are out there.
“Joe, I’m really eager to get this into the hands
of our subscribers. My greatest hope is that they will give
the method a chance to work. After all, every method has its
flat spots and losses. But if they will follow what we tell
them to do, they won’t experience nearly the amount
of drawdown the statistics indicate. That’s because
we will show them when to stand aside from time to time, when
the method goes flat.”
In the next few paragraphs I outline Andy’s E-mini 40 for you – no details withheld. I show you the statistics tables and the equity curves. You’ll see for yourself what we mean about this method. But if you cannot or will not follow the instructions we give you for trading the method, then please stop reading right here. While Andy’s method is not a black-box mechanical trading system, it does have rules and logic behind it. When you receive Andy's E-mini 40 Method™, you will receive the rules and instructions. You will understand completely how, why, and when to use the method.
We have said this many times in our communications:
|
In short, our market tests place emphasis on looking at what is currently happening. Testing a method over a period of ten years is worthless. None of us can trade history. We are forced by the nature of our business to trade the present.
As the economy changes, so do markets. As government policies change, so do markets. As the interactions between nations change, so do markets. There’s no getting around it. Markets change, and they are doing so more often and more quickly than at any other time in history. The notion that you can find the perfect trading method is nothing more than a hope and a dream. That is why Andy shows you how to adapt the method to changing times. That is why Andy shows you how to know when to stop trading the method for awhile.
We have never seen a method that always works! We know that this method will not always work. But we also have never seen a method that failed to make a comeback and begin working again if that method had a way to make it adaptable to the changes in the market.
A couple of years ago we released the “Easy Bond Method.” We released it with a stated objective of its making 11 ticks. When it failed to continue making 11 ticks, we told people to stop trading it. But we ourselves adjusted to trading it for 8 ticks, and then 6 ticks. All we had to do at 6 ticks was to adjust our position size to increase the number of contracts. We were amazed that so many others failed to see the logic of reducing the expectation for number of ticks to be gained. The method has not failed since August of 2005 — if you were willing to adapt. Adaptation is why we call our methods "discretionary."
The truth of the markets is that they consist of the people who trade in them. But trading is emotional, not nearly as logical as most of us would like it to be. And the participants who make up the markets come and go. The players are in a constant state of flux. That is what makes markets dynamic, and that is why mechanical trading systems seldom work over long periods of time unless they are adjusted to the realities of what is happening in the marketplace.
Andy’s E-mini Bar 40 offers you a straightforward method for trading the Mini S&P futures. As with any method, there will be some fluctuations in its effectiveness. Therefore, you must monitor the method every trading day, and if, in your opinion, you should discontinue using it, then do so at once. However, this method, without variations, has been working since mid-2004. We continue to test the method constantly, and we will let you know if there are any changes needed in any of the parameters.

What You Can Expect:
Below are the equity curves from January 2005 to December 2007. The equity
curves you see are with commissions. Below you see equity curves using two
different commission levels: $4 and $8. We recommend that $10 is the maximum
commission you should pay if you use this method. If your commissions are
$10 or more, we can refer you to a broker who is familiar with the method
and who will offer you commission far less than $10/round turn.
Here are some characteristics:
The statistics and equity curve below reflect commissions of $4.00/round
turn:
The statistics and equity curve below reflect commissions of $8.00/round turn:
Just as an example, let's take the statistics and graph of trading at a commission of $8/round turn. As you can see, there are times when the method produces fantastic results, and there are times when the method goes flat. There are also times when the method loses. The method produced over $14,117 trading only one contract, with a maximum drawdown of only $4,309, and the longest time period the method stayed flat was 125 days. This means that there were no gains during that 125 day period. But when you learn the method, you will see that you can avoid a large percentage of those losses and flat periods. For example, the figure showing the maximum drawdown of $4,309 is true only if you were to blindly trade the method when it is losing. However, with the use of our Method Toolbox, you will never have a need to trade the method when it is losing. The Method Toolbox enables you to create an equity curve — a moving average of the equity. Once equity drops below its own moving average, you stop trading the method until the equity in the method shows that it is winning again by rising above the moving average. In addition to the Method Toolbox, we regularly inform you of whether to place the method on hold or whether it is good for trading. Our on-line Forum Room exclusively for traders of this method is now being used as a place where we can suggest adaptations to current market conditions, as well as a place where users of the method can exchange ideas and experiences.
We recommend trading capital of $3,000 plus margin per contract traded.
You can expect a win-loss ratio of more than 74%.
The largest possible loss is $258 per contract, but the average loss is
only $201 per contract.
The method produced only 7 consecutive losses, but 42 consecutive wins.
As stated earlier, brokerage must be $10/round turn or less. If you are currently paying more than that for brokerage, we are happy to refer you to the broker we use for round turn commissions of $8 or less, depending on volume.

Comment |
The method has been trading profitably since 2005 without any optimization needed. Our most active trading method. Needs to be closely watched. |
You can enjoy the same kind of
results that Andy is achieving.
Comment about the Andy's Emini 40 Method from one of our students: "I would recommend Andy's 40 Method, absolutely ! It works and you can learn something about ES, e. g., importance of fading ES, at least early in day. Comparison of logic of T-bond trading model vs ES is useful in understanding both markets. (During trading hours I don't think about trading logic. Only focus on execution of orders and model like this helps traders to focus. Andy understands KISS CONCEPT.)" Rich H., Grosse Pointe , MI |
Other Pertinent Facts
The method requires accessibility to a real time quote at 08:50 AM and again at 09:30 AM U.S. Central Time, in order to evaluate the entry signals. After a fill, you must place the order for the target and the protective stop. If not filled by 12:10 PM, all potential orders are discarded, and you do not trade the method that day. It is possible to trade the method mechanically using a platform like Trade Navigator or any other platform for automated trading. Library for Genesis Trade Navigator available.
Trades are not held overnight. You must exit by 12:10 PM U.S. Central time or sooner.
The method makes only two trades/day, and only on days when entry signals are generated.
You do not need to sit and watch all day. This is not a method for "high action" day trading. The method is conservative, has small losses, and steady gains.
There are only 6 trading rules.
The method does not use indicators or chart patterns. It works based on the condition of certain trigger bars. If the condition is not met, you do not trade.
The method has been tested only in the e-mini S&P 500. We do not know if it works in any other market. However, you are welcome to try.
There is no source code needed to trade the method. You need only the rules. We provide the rules.
Comment about the Andy's Emini 40 Method from one of our students: "By all means. Works as advertised if you follow the method rules. It also allows a little latitude which is necessary on some days. Has caused me to evaluate the trades with a little more common sense." Ward Keeton |
The method has been working since the beginning of August, 2004. It was not tested further back than that because we don't believe there would be any value in testing long-term history. The statistics in tables above are for January 2005 through December 2007.
The method and the rules come to you in the form of an e-book.
Will this system make you rich overnight? Not a chance. But Andy’s E-mini Bar 40™ will make you steady money with very low and controlled risk. As your account grows, you can trade increasingly more contracts, and then the results can be extremely exciting.
Comment about the Andy's Emini 40 Method from one of our students: "Andy's Emini 40 is a very easy method to follow." Leonid Cholij |
If you would like a conservative, easy-to-follow system, then Andy’s E-mini Bar 40™ is for you.
Why wait another day struggling with the illogical whipsaws of the E-mini S&P 500 contract? Why wait for your trade to be trashed by the 1-minute chart scalpers?
Good traders know that you don’t need to trade all
day long or every day of the week. Andy’s E-mini Bar
40™ selects the best low risk trades for you.
Method Toolbox™
