“The successful trader must make a psychological commitment to win, while, at the same time, controlling our two most pervasive and potentially destructive emotions -- fear and greed,” explains Bernstein.

“Luck takes a back seat to personal discipline, skills and historically-valid strategies in trading.”

Bernstein's training -- and the absence of any significant literature exploring the “psychology of the trader” -- prompted him in 1982 to write what has become a classic text on trader psychology, The Investor's Quotient. In addition, he has authored a veritable library of reference works on trading and analyzing the commodity futures markets. His 30+ books appeal to the full spectrum of investors --- from the novice to the seasoned speculator, professional trader and chartist.

He also has written articles in numerous trade publications, including Barron's Financial Weekly, Futures Magazine and Money Maker. His skills as a teacher, market analyst and educator are ranked highly by attendees at his many seminars. His keen ability to pinpoint market trend changes well in advance, and to develop market timing and trend indicators, are matched only by his continual quest to tame the futures markets. He is now a very popular Contributor to REAL MONEY, The Street & Booyah!

These assets have helped him develop pioneering methodologies in market forecasting, cyclical patterns and seasonal indicators. His proprietary published trading techniques include: Jake Bernstein's Key-Date Seasonal Analysis, the Daily Sentiment Index and the MAC Method, as well as short- and intermediate-term day trading and long-term trading approaches, based on market patterns.

Bernstein is president and CEO of MBH Commodity Advisors, Inc. in Winnetka, Illinois, as well as Chief Market Strategist and publisher of the MBH Weekly Futures Trading Letter, published continuously since 1972. This comprehensive weekly 8-page letter provides education as well as insightful market analyses and commentary.

His daily trading HOTLINES give specific recommendations. The MBH newsletter is read worldwide by traders in all areas of market participation, including new and experienced traders alike as well as banks, agri-business, floor traders, brokerage firms, money managers, and others.

Jake Bernstein's skills, candid approach to educating traders, as well as his in-depth market analyses, have made him a much sought after speaker, guest lecturer, and market commentator. He has appeared on national radio and television, including Wall Street Week, CNBC, JagFN.TV, WebTV.com and is frequently quoted in the financial press.

Bernstein's comments and observations on the commodity markets have been presented in speeches to premier groups the world over, including the Chicago Board of Trade Feed Manufacturers Association, The Foundation for the Study of Cycles, Commodities Educational Institute, COMEX, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Toronto and Montreal stock exchanges.

Jake,

It's hard to contain my enthusiasm for what you have given me.

As a novice trader I was very excited to be accepted into Jake Bernsteins Mentoring Program. I had been trading before I studied under Jake, but unfortunately was losing more money than I was making. I was stopped out of most of my trades trying to keep a "good" risk/reward ratio. I learned a whole different risk management approach with Jake.

Since I work full time, I cant sit in front of a monitor all day to tweak my trades. Jake assured me that was no problem and suggested that it might even be better for me.

The one-on-one relationship was informative, enjoyable, practical, and financially profitable. I had two goals going into the mentoring program. First I wanted to earn back the cost of the program before completion. Second, I wanted to become a proficient and profitable trader.

The mentoring program far exceeded my expectations! Jake laughed when I told him I was making money hand over fist. He assured me, Thats what were supposed to do.

I found Jake to be very patient and immediately responsive. Our phone sessions were always productive, and we usually had a few laughs together as well. At times, Jake called me between sessions to make certain I was on track. Thankfully, he also bailed me out of a couple of self-inflicted trading dilemmas.

How did I do with my $10,000 account? It grew to $40,000 in four months. I dont see how you could listen to what Jake says and not make money in the markets.

Dear Jake,

I have just prepared a brief summary of my trading results for the last quarter of 2004 and wanted to pass this along to you as proof that your time spent training me last summer was worthwhile.

Total trades 12 (Seasonals and Momentum Divergence)

Winners 9 (Avg. profit/trade: $775)

Losers 3 (Avg. loss/trade: $760)

With the exception of 1, these were all trades entered prior to your December seminar that I attended. This has translated into a 19% increase in my account for the period.

These are results I could never have achieved prior to contacting you and will confirm that my confidence is at a level that I have never experienced before.

Thank you,
Anon

Subject: COT Report

Good morning, thanks for your call last night, sorry I cannot spend 12 weeks with Jake it would be a great thing if I had the time.

The question I had on the COT report, my broker told me that they where reporting new index fund buying as commercial and not as large spec trading. He got his information from ADM. IF this is true would this not change how we think about the COT report?

Last spring when the markets where going good I decided one day to sell approximately 40% of my crop, and hedge 45000 bu. of corn. This was against everyone's thinking, even my broker did not want to do this. The signals Jake told about when I was with him said this was the top. I was really nervous second guessing myself. But I had put my plan together tried to ignor everyone else and went to work on my farm. The first day not much happened, but by the second the market started moving my way, and now we all know I was right. I had missed the high by two days. I averaged 2.91 for my corn last year. The best year financially we have ever had. Some are telling me I got lucky, I know better. It is difficult to completly follow Jake when trying to sell my crop. I know certain months I need to sell, and use his timing method's to get a better price. Would you thanks him for me, as his method's have improved my average selling price. I am now able to get a higher average than Cargill's Pro Pricing programs.

Thanks David

Hi Jake,

I wanted to thank you for all the help you have given me the past couple of months. For the first time in my trading I have the confidence that I will be able to make a career out of this. Because of your dedication, and desire to truly help people succeed in this business I can honestly say that I will be able to achieve my goals. I just wanted you to know how appreciative I am of all the help you've given me since I first met you last August in San Diego. You are one of the good guys in this industry. Thanks again for all of your help.

I have no Idea how many systems you installed on my computer. I don't care how much big money they are making, I never saw a profit on any thing, so I don't care what track records you have of what, to me it means nothing. I have never experienced any thing from you that resulted in any thing. (Nor any one else)

As to 4 seminars for no charge since last may, I also find this very hard to believe!

I have tried many times and I hoped many times, that, I might be able to pick up one thing, one rule, one guide, one something, 1/2 of something,

And it has been nothing, nada, nope, no way, zilch

There for, I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is nothing you have that is worth a hoot or that can do me any good.

I tried all I could try in the past years to learn something from you, but (we can both agree) I have not. And I think we can both agree I should abandon this avenue.

I even tried to set up a account with Paul, figuring with the 3 of us, I would fall in place, but he couldn't figure how to open a account with me ........ I have a little change in a account with fox via Ron Harris and another account with a little change with fox via Kevin and Daniela, and another account at Vision with my Florida broker Mike Barnaby, a account with interactive brokers, and a account with ts7.2 (O'Brien) Paul could not figure out how to open a account for me, so how could help me with any thing else?

Personally I do not think the Joe Kurtsinger stuff is worth a hoot also, nor the Roy Kelly stuff, nor the Bob Hunt stuff or the Bollinger stuff and others and others and others. Roy Kelly watched me blow $10,000.00 in the markets after I gave him $10,000.00 cash up front and spent another ten or so on travel, lodging costs, car rental, lap top, pc projector, on and on and on. Right there next to me, using his systems, his indicators, his advise. He could not give me any rules that worked. at the end his wife says, if I ever figure this out, please let us know! ?????????????????? #)*&^%$?/)@

I do not, have faith in any of this crap (sentences above) so I can only try to rely on my human nature to correct my mistakes and learn (trial and error). I have a good Idea what my mistakes are and I try to correct them, some times this is difficult. People ask me about a system? I got no system, what system?

Regardless I now use TS7.2. This is not a mistake, this is a good tool and I only receive the cbot. If I cannot trade with the trend in lets say bonds, then I cannot trade with the trend in any thing. I now only have only one thing on my mind, since I cannot rely on any thing else, and that is to learn the trend, this sounds so simple, but for me this is not simple

I do not want to fight. You seem ok also, I have tried to follow your rules, but I saw nothing so I just gave up. I cannot go running to you over every issue every time something is not right. You got your business to run and I got mine.

I have tried and purchased every thing you have on sale? and I went to more of your seminars than any one else, but I have not made one dime. That should tell us something.

But there is nothing you or anybody or anyone can do for me,

The only way I am going to be good at this is from what I learn on my own, by my self.

Do you have any thing that could help me?

yesterday I was looking into a sewer in the floor, full of water, in a house in mount prospect with a flash light. I saw a parallel to my trading (I don't see what I am trying to see) if you hold a flash light a certain way you can only see a mirror (no matter how you move your head) but hold it another way you can see what you want to see (the bottom of the pipe). So I am still looking for something.

Lastly, I want to thank you for the hard work, great newsletters, and your editoral spirit. This year alone I made $38,000+ trading corn and wheat and $15,000+ trading cocoa.

I am taking positions in corn and wheat (-$12,000) as of writing but know it is going to move once we get past all the turmoil in the southern states.  I have learned to discipline myself with larger stops although losing money is difficult to tolerate. I recently acquired a dollar seat at the NYBOT but have to pass the mock trading (passed the written).

As a plastic surgeon it is hard to learn the pit lingo as I am a little out of my element and with a busy practice it is difficult to get down there. I love trading and the mental exercise of trading. I took your course in NYC (Crowne Plaza) the last time you were here and learned alot. I subscribe to the STS.

I appreciate your willingness to teach.

Sincerely,

Charles Loving

As a former student of Jakes personal training. I would like to say don't waste time with trading letters, books, hot lines, only to find out what you think should work but don't work. Jake can show you procedures, methods, timing indicators, tools that really work. I say let Jake help you find direction and develop a method of trading that will last.

Hi Jake,

Thought these might be of interest to you:

1. Since working with Jake, I have found that trading commodities is as easy as pulling teeth

2. With all that Jake taught me, I would rather trade commodities than have a root canal.

3. Because of Jake's willingness and generosity in teaching his techniques, I have had my first $250,000 month.

just thanking you!
