I've
been an employee and a business owner. Both
placed a lot of money in someone else's pocket.
Whether it was the company or the tax man it
seemed to be a lot of headache for little
return.
I had a dream to quit my day job and
learn to trade the stock market. And, so my
journey began. Around 1989 I began dabbling in
the market. Make a little money...Lose
a little money. Make a little..Lose
a little. You get the picture. Bottom line - It
was fun and had the thrill of gambling but not
profitable. Still, I enjoyed this process for
the next six to eight months expecting to find
that one strategy that would hit a home run. At
this point I was no further ahead financially
and pretty much breaking even.
Then, I was reunited with my 8th grade sweet
heart, married her and inherited three great
kids. Talk about incentive to make some money!
We were a family of five, living in a
two-bedroom apartment. I needed down-payment
money on a house and I needed it fast.
I had about $8,000 startup capital and worked to
develop my own simple, low-risk trading
strategies. In a years time I turned that 8K to
$28,000. Pretty impressive return until a bad
trade lost me $6,500. I quickly took the
remaining cash and went house hunting.
While I continued to dabble with my trading
strategies, it wasn't until May of 2002 that I
became serious about my trading future. I
decided to invest in myself and took private
training classes from Stephen Bigalow on
how to trade with Japanese Candlesticks. This
training paid off and I was back to making
profits. Until, I began looking for
that home run play that would make me a killing.
I was tweaking my simple strategies by
adding the latest tips shared by the Gurus.
Finally, I came to my senses and went back to
the techniques that made me money. They were
easy to spot patterns with clear entry and exit
points. I could
see the same pattern developing in
hundreds of charts. More importantly, I could
enter with low-risk on a short-term
trade, grab my profits and sleep well at night.
Today, trading for a living has afforded my
family with several luxuries that I would not
otherwise afford. Not to mention, my lovely wife
and childhood sweetheart quit her job. I trade
every day and never forget I am living my
dream. I enjoy traveling and teaching
clinics to others who are looking to take that
next step to transition to Trading for a
Living.

Chris White has been developing software professionally for over 20 years and has been an active trader for over 10. He left Microsoft 4 years ago to develop a program that would help
traders visualize common and custom trading ideas. Chris was born in England and received his Bachelor of Engineering Honors degree in Information Systems Engineering at the University of Bradford. After developing process control software for a major corporation in England, he moved to Vancouver, BC and joined a small start-up company devoted to managing content on the internet.
He made his first stock trade at the height of the dot-com boom – this trade continues to be his single best performing trade (over 100% gain in 1 day). The dot-com bust convinced Chris that there was more to trading than just buying the most hyped stock and so he dedicated himself to studying the field of technical analysis.
After being ‘acquired’ by Microsoft in 2001, Chris moved to Seattle, WA and worked on Microsoft Office. In his spare time, Chris began developing software for his personal trading use. In 2007, he left Microsoft to work full-time on his idea for a program to allow visualization of trading ideas. After two full years of development, EdgeRater PRO was released and Chris founded the trading tools
development company EdgeRater LLC. EdgeRater PRO won the INETA code component award and has been highly regarded by industry experts.
Chris actively promotes the education of traders through regular webinars and presentations at the semi-annual High Growth Stock Investing seminar in Palos Verdes, CA.
Chris’ latest program – the ‘ETF Trading Bandit’ takes the 7 strategies from the book ‘High Probability ETF Trading’ and gives traders daily signals for each strategy and allows review of historical signals using the built-in charts and indicators.
