If you’re looking to make a full-time income from options trading, then this may be the most exciting letter you read this year.

Why do I say that?

Because I’m about to open the doors to my third-ever Trading Trainer Apprentice Program. (It's been more than 8 months since I allowed anybody in.)

Just so it’s clear, there’s nothing to buy on this page. The ONLY thing you can do is submit your application for consideration.

That’s because I’m looking for a few hand-picked individuals who will be my Apprentices for the next 12 months.

During those 12 months, I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure you are making a full-time income as a professional options trader—but only working about 30 minutes to an hour a day. That’s why it’s so important that I have the right people.

But I’m getting ahead of myself… let me explain how this all came about and why I’m writing to you today.

You see, for the past few years, I’ve been teaching students how to successfully trade options through my Trading Trainer membership web site. Many of them are making consistent money and say it’s one of the best decisions they’ve ever made.

And yet despite the amazing level of success my students have, some of them still want more. More training, more tips and tricks, and—most importantly…

More Personalized Input from Me!

My students, especially the eager ones, are always asking how they can get more personalized input. It makes sense. After all, in just 30 months, I was able to crack the code on how to trade options for big profits.

So I thought about this for a long time. How could I provide an intimate learning environment where a limited number of students could get more one-on-one access to me?

That’s when it hit me. I would start an Apprentice program.

But before I went public with it, I wanted to prepare in advance to make absolutely sure my Apprentices would succeed.

So what did I do?

Well, I created a 4-month “beta program” for 12 eager students. And I’m happy to report that there’s been…

An 83% Success Rate
After Just 3 Months!

That’s right. Of those in the Apprentice program, 83% of them already have more money than they started with. Some have a lot more. (Just see Ralph Newton’s Case Study below.)

All that is to say, my Apprentices are having a much higher success rate than the average trader. And they’re only doing an abbreviated pilot program. YOU, on the other hand, will have me for a full 12 months.

This is a HUGE deal. It’s not like this is a skimpy 8-week program. This is an ongoing Apprentice program that is designed to take you by the hand and literally…

Force You To Be Successful!

Through all my teaching over the last couple years, I’ve discovered that a lot of folks want to make money trading options… but simply lack the accountability and personal direction they need to stay on track.

This may come as a shock to you, but some of the members of my Trading Trainer web site never actually implement what they learn. They go through the course material and learn my system… yet fail to get around to any real trading. Some who do get started, do everything right—but only for a couple weeks. Then they stop.

If you’re the type of person who would like to have some accountability and personal direction from one of the most accomplished options traders in the business, then you will absolutely LOVE my Apprentice program. Because I’m doing whatever it takes to put the odds of winning in your favor.

If you miss a meeting… or don’t do an assignment… you will receive a friendly phone call to encourage you to follow through on what you said you wanted to do.

Even better, my Apprentice program has been designed to maximize the learning that takes place. Let me explain:

Marcy P. Driscoll is a professor at Florida State University and an expert on how people learn. Penn State quotes her as saying there are four critical characteristics of a great learning environment:

• Learning occurs in context. Learning must happen within a certain context. Without an appropriate setting, you are unlikely to succeed.

• Learning is active. “Tell me, I forget. Show me, I remember. Involve me, I understand.” This Chinese proverb suggests that you have to be mentally active during learning activities, make connections between new and existing knowledge, and construct meaning from your own experiences.

• Learning is social. You benefit when you work collaboratively in groups because you get to hear different perspectives and learn with the help of others.

• Learning is reflective. Learning is facilitated when you're given chances to express and evaluate your own thinking.

When you become one of my Apprentices, you’ll get the unique advantage of a holistic learning experience which incorporates all four ways in which people learn best.

And that means you’ll learn better and faster than you would on your own.

Even better, you’ll actually be trading—with real money—so you gain the confidence you need to successfully trade options the rest of your life.

Are you beginning to see how your participation in my Apprentice program could help you to finally start making serious money with options trading?

There’s no better or faster way I know of that gives you more leverage to generate a full-time income trading options than my Apprentice program.

Now, there is a catch. I simply cannot accept everyone who wants to join. That would defeat the purpose. So I’m only allowing a maximum of 100 people to join the Apprentice Program during open enrollment (and probably fewer than that).

What’s more, you can’t pay me anything until I review your application and verify you’re the kind of person I’m looking for.

So what kind of qualities do I want in my new Apprentices? Check it out…

Do You Have These 3 Qualities?

Here’s the deal: Not only is it in my best interest to choose only those individuals who are most likely to succeed… it’s also in YOUR best interest as well. With that in mind, here are three qualities I’m looking for in my Apprentices.

Quality #1: Action-Oriented

To be successful in my program, you must be action-oriented. As one of my Apprentices, you will have daily and weekly activities that will need to be completed.

Is it the end of the world if you aren’t able to complete a task on-time? No. But your ability to consistently get things done is critical for your success.

If you have this quality, and are able to follow-through when given a task, then you’re the type of person I’m looking for.

Quality #2: Ability to Follow a System

I hate to say this, but there’s not a lot of room for “creativity” when trading options. So if you’re always feeling the need to “do things your own way,” then you’re probably not a good fit for my Apprentice program.

If, on the other hand, you can see the value in rules… and having a step-by-step system to guide you… then you will do just fine.

Here is the vital question: Will you listen carefully to my instructions and do them exactly as I say?

If so, keep reading. You’ve already got two of the three qualities I’m looking for.

Quality #3: Persistence

This is a biggie.

If you’re the type who lets minor setbacks derail you, then you won’t make it as a six-figure options trader. Because setbacks come with the territory.

What’s more, if you’re the type who’s always looking for “the next best thing” or a “magic bullet” to get rich quick, then I’m not interested. The only way to master any skill is persistence. And of all the qualities I desire in my Apprentices, this one has got to be the most important.

So how did you do?

Do you have initiative, the ability to follow a system, and persistence? If so, I want to extend a Special Invitation to you. Complete the application on the next page to see if you qualify to learn…

All Of My Closely-Guarded Secrets About
How To Succeed As A “Full-Time” Options Trader

In case you don’t know me already, my name is A.J. Brown. I’ve been studying and trading options since 1998.

Like anyone else, I started slow. For a few years, I just studied. I followed all the experts of the day and spent a small fortune on training materials and seminars.

Then, in 2001, I had a breakthrough. I started an investment group with 8 other people whom I had met at seminars. This was a big deal… because… finally I had accountability.

I agreed to be the note-taker for the group. So every night, I would send out the notes for the day. This became a ritual for me. I still do it today.

Now, I paper-traded my account until 2004. I guess I got comfortable as the note-taker for the group, and it took me a while to build up the courage to trade my own account. In spite of my fear, here’s what happened:

I Started With Almost $1,000 & Turned It
Into $4,000 in Less Than a Month.

I did it again a few months later. By May, my account had skyrocketed to a level I had never imagined possible. Then, a funny thing happened… my trading group went radio silent!

What happened?

Well, it’s a funny thing. They didn’t go silent because they had “dropped out.” It’s because they were stunned by the gains I was posting. In fact, they had taken to forwarding my “Nightly Newsletter” to all their trading friends!

Before I knew it, I was getting emails from all kinds of people I didn’t know. They had questions. Lots of them.

I did what I could to answer them all, but it simply became overwhelming. The truth is, I was spending so much time replying to questions that I was having a hard time focusing on trading.

That’s when I got an idea. Why not create a virtual learning “academy” for options traders so they could gain access to my system and get all their questions answered?

I knew by creating such a community I would only have to answer a question one time and it would benefit everyone. This would save a lot of time, plus be a great service to new and veteran traders alike. So that’s how the Trading Trader community was created.

Now I’m Taking It One Step Further…

I’ve continued to use my unique methods for more than 4 years, and it’s brought me great wealth. I’m blessed to be in a position where I get to decide how much I want to work… and perhaps more importantly… how much I want to make.

Now, I’ve taken everything I’ve learned about options trading (including some gems I’ve never shared before) and turned it into an easy-to-follow system for just about anybody to get a fast start as a consistent “in the money” options trader.

That’s why I call it the “Trading Trainer Apprentice Program.” Simply become my Apprentice, follow my simple options trading system, and you could be earning six-figures in no time.

The beta group who has already completed my abbreviated “beta” program is raving about it. But don’t take my word for it. See what they’re saying in their own words…

Now, you may be tempted to think that my Apprentices have some special talents that you lack. But are these folks really any different than you?

No, they are not. Just as they’ve shortened the learning curve and have embarked on their trading careers… you too could be trading profitably in as few as 30 days from the start of the program.

Can my Apprentice Program make that much of a difference? You betcha! It’s literally the difference between walking to your destination… and driving a supercharged sports car. Which would you choose?

While you think about that, here are more success stories from my Apprentices and Training Trader students:

I am looking for a handful of men and women—just like those featured above—who want a real shortcut for getting started with options trading.

People who would like to slash years off the learning curve so they can quickly start making a six-figure income as a full-time options trader. Will you be one of them?

Yes, I want to be an Apprentice!

Only Dedicated Students Accepted

I am very selective about who participates in the Trading Trainer Apprentice Program. Not everybody who applies is accepted. After all, it does me no good to mentor people who will never apply what they learn.

That’s why I’ve posted this page. It’s to give you a peek at what options trading is really like when you do it right. And it’s to get a few people (maybe you) to raise their hand and say “I’m interested.”

Now 100 Apprentices may sound like a lot. But here's the thing... I'm estimating that more than 10,000 people will see this page. Which means only one out of every 100 will be chosen. That's 1%.

When I was starting the beta group, I actually made the potential students fly to Las Vegas to be considered!

Still, every open spot was filled.

FAIR WARNING: This may be the only time that the Apprentice Program is open for enrollment for the 2008 group. I will choose up to 100 special people (and possibly fewer) to participate from the hundreds of applications I receive. If you are accepted into the program, you’ll learn options trading “secrets” like these:

• How to master options trading in just 20 minutes a day. (You do not have to read the WSJ or IBD every day. You do not have to scan hundreds of stock prices. Once you know this secret, you’ll see how easy it is to make winning trades with very little time invested.)

• When to use standard stop orders versus trailing stops. (Find out how to maximize profits by using the right kind of stop orders.)

• How to get the most out of your Trading Group. (This simple habit is what led me to success. I’ll show you how to get the most out of your group once you’re accepted as an Apprentice.)

• Where you can go to trade options contracts for as little as $1 per transaction. (A lot of people think they have to pay $20-$50 in transaction fees to trade an options contract—yet nothing could be further from the truth!)

• How an index card tucked in your purse or pocket can guide you to your best trades. (Never underestimate the power of simple strategies. This is one you won’t want to ignore.)

• How to discover the secret “personality” of stocks. (I know it sounds weird… but stocks really do have their own unique personalities. Once you “know” the stock, you’ll be able to trade with confidence.)

• How to create a game plan for transitioning out of your current work—and into a full-time options trading career. (Are you looking for a way to work from home and finally get free from your job? I’ll show you how to put together a game plan to make it happen as soon as possible!)

• Surefire techniques for “emotion control.” (Here’s what I do to keep my emotions in check so I don’t make costly mistakes.)

• My favorite money-making stocks. (Over the years, these are the stocks that have made me the most money. I almost never share this list.)

• How to build a solid “hot list.” (As an Apprentice, you’ll be doing this on a regular basis, with my guidance. It’s one of my secrets for consistently making profitable trades in only 30 minutes a day.)

Yet this only scratches the surface of what you’ll learn in the Trading Trainer Apprentice Program. In fact, you’ll get a full 12 months of access to me, my hand-picked facilitators, and your trading group.

Here Is What You’ll Get…

If you are selected for my upcoming Apprentice Program, you’ll be immediately assigned to a trading group. Each group will be limited to just 4 or 5 people to encourage interaction.

Your trading group will work together daily to select stocks worth trading and build “hot lists.” You’ll keep each other accountable to do the work required to succeed. Plus, I'll be distributing real-time trading information to your group to help you get better, faster.

You will also get access to a members-only forum where you can interact with your trading group. Share your struggles and your victories, and ask questions whenever you like. As you interact, you will learn and grow.

Me and a few hand-picked facilitators (who are making real money using my option trading methods) will be visiting your group on a regular basis to see how you’re doing. We will review your picks and tell you why we think they are good or bad. In other words...

Find Out What We Think
Before You Risk Any Money!

I will also be personally conducting advanced biweekly “Apprentice-only” webinars. We will discuss trading tips and strategies I don’t normally share with other folks. You will literally get access to the best information I know about options trading.

Most importantly of all, you’ll get direct access to me via weekly open call-in hours. If you call during this window of time, you'll get 10 minutes one-on-one with me. Hammer me with your toughest questions. You’ll get straight answers and lots of actionable advice.

Even better, many of these mini Q&A sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the private Apprentice web site where you can listen to them anytime you like.

Finally, you’ll be able to ask “spur-of-the-moment” questions during the program. Pick up the phone or send an email and you’ll receive a response as quickly as possible.

As my Apprentice, you will be treated exceptionally well. You’ll get to attend my live events at a discount. You’ll get preferred seating, front and center. What’s more, you will ALSO receive…

A FREE 12-Month Membership
to TradingTrainer.com!

As I mentioned above, my Trading Trainer membership site contains dozens of hours of training material, as well as my entire system for trading options. Basic membership costs $99.95 a month. This is a $1,199 value that Apprentices will receive FREE. (If you’re already a Trading Trainer member, your monthly fees for basic membership will be waived for an entire 12 months!)

Now, if you’ve read this far, I assume you must be serious. At least more serious than the average person who hits this page.

I’m also assuming you already believe you might be a good fit for earning six figures a year as a full-time options trader. If that is indeed the case, I’d like to invite you to go to the next level.

You Have Nothing to Lose

Look. The application takes only 20 minutes to complete. I'm not asking for any money right now. Yet this small step could change your financial future forever.

One last thing...

Do not click the link below if you don’t have initiative, the ability to follow a system, and persistence. Also, please do not click the link if you’re looking for a free pass into my program. I’d rather not waste your time or mine.
