JANUARY 15, 2017

2. This is a presentation prepared for Education purposes only.
Neither Vancouver Disciplined Trading Hub (VDTH), Round Table Educators (RTE) or
Prosperis Passive Income Strategies (PPIS) nor any of its personnel are registered
broker-dealers or investment advisors.
We may mention that we consider certain securities or positions to be good candidates
for the types of strategies we are discussing or illustrating. This does not mean that we
are telling you to trade these exact strategies or securities.
Keep in mind that we are not providing you with any specific recommendations or
personalized advice about your own trading activities. The information we are providing
is not tailored to any particular individual. Any mention of a particular security is not a
recommendation to buy, sell, or hold that or any other security, or a suggestion that it is
suitable for any specific person. Trading ALWAYS involves a risk of loss, even if we are
discussing strategies that are intended to limit risk.
VDTH, RTE and PPIS are not subject to trading restrictions. We could have a position in a
security or initiate a position in a security we mention at any time.

6. What is Disciplined Trading?
“The typical trader DOESN’T predefine their risk, cut their losses, or systematically
take profits because the typical trader doesn’t believe it’s necessary. The only reason
why he would believe it isn’t necessary is that he believes he already knows what’s going
to happen next, based on what he perceives is happening in any given moment.”
- Mark Douglas
But a Disciplined Trader will …
1) Predefine their risk before taking a trade
2) Cut their losses without hesitation
3) Use a systematic money management plan
