I’m new to trading (beginner) is this service for me?
Actually, there is nothing better for a new trader than the Factor service for several reasons.
- New traders have very inaccurate and grossly distorted expectations. The Factor Service addresses the harsh realities of trading — something most novice traders do not want to hear and something most other services fail to provide. New traders need to constantly be bathed in reality. And this is something the Factor Service does.
- New traders do not know understand the entire process of market speculation. Peter focuses on the nuts and bolts of trading, not just the glamorous aspects.
- One of the challenges of a new trader is how to think like a trader — how to adopt a correct philosophy of market speculation. The Factor Service relies on 46+ years of Peter’s market experience to provide insight on this topic. It does not matter if a trader engages equities or forex or futures, all successful traders have a mindset that took years to develop. I can share these insights — something most of the fast talk promoters cannot do.
- Trade identification is the one thing most novice traders are seeking — they are seeking the wrong answer. Trade identification, or signaling, is far down the list of important aspects of market speculation. Peter emphasizes the process of market speculation, the importance of winning the inner battle against human emotions, and, most importantly, risk and money management.
Peter has reached his level of professionalism by making every mistake in the book — and this is something every new trader must do unless they heed the warning of someone who has made mistakes and is willing to put a spotlight on the traps laying ahead for novice speculators. Who better to do this than a 46+ year renounced trader willing to share his experiences.
The Factor Service is only incidentally about identifying major market moves — which it does better than any other service we know. Peter, as much as a great trader, should be considered as a market philosopher.

Is the Factor Trading service a trade advisory service?

- While Peter primarily trades futures and forex, he does trade equities and will comment on the stocks he finds particularly interesting from a classical charting
- Many of the futures and forex markets traded by Factor have corresponding ETFs. Yet Peter believes that commodity and forex ETFs represent a very inefficient use of trading

Will this service make me rich?
You will find the Factor service to be unlike anything else you have followed. The Factor service is designed to be “serious” – not “sensational.” If you want “sensational,” there are plenty of hucksters willing to take your money.
If you are looking to double or triple your trading capital each year, membership is not for you. There are many other services – several promoted by fraudulent con-men – that appeal to “hot” money. If market services that pitch “Turn $10,000 into a million” appeal to you, the Factor service is not for you.
Where can I find my current membership information?
After logging in, select my profile from the support menu. It will list the current membership product you are subscribed to, along with your start and end dates. All products are set to automatically renew.
How often are Factor alerts issued?
Peter will attempt to identify 10 to 20 Classical Charting opportunities per year.
Members will receive an automated email when the alert is posted on the website.
