Hello. I am David Blair, a.k.a The Crosshairs Trader. I am humbled by, and appreciative of, your interest in my site. I won’t bore you with any trivial niceties about my past or my trading record because none of this really has anything to do with your success, but suffice it to say I am a full time trader and enjoy sharing my experience with others via my blog articles and my educational training. I share these experiences here and over at Traders’ Library, where I am a weekly guest contributor.

CROSSHAIRS TRADERS at a recent seminar.
Several years ago I developed a trading strategy I call Crosshairs Trading©. Crosshairs Trading© was honed through reductionism, which is the art of making sense of a complex system by reducing it into simple, understandable parts. The markets are complex. Crosshairs Trading© reduces this complex system into one simple, easy to understand strategy. Simple yet very effective.
My strategy combines the basic characteristics of swing and trend trading by taking advantage of long-term market moves measured by days to weeks. My “swend” trading strategy provides the trader with a high probability trading edge that is specifically designed for those who desire the following from their trading experience:
- An enjoying life outside the charts. Successful, enjoyable trading should be more about freedom from the charts, not slavery within. Crosshairs Trading©, with its focus on big time frames, allows the trader the freedom to break free from the trading screen and live a life supported by trading.
- The ability to listen to the market, not simply hear it. There is a big difference between listening to the market voice vs hearing the market noise. If you have children you know the difference between listening and hearing! Without a set of trading rules and the discipline to follow them, the trader will be unable to listen when the market speaks a specific language-the language of his rules. The noise of TMI (Too Much Information) will rob the trader of his ability to listen to what really matters. My strategy focuses on listening to one market language, the language of the Crosshair.
- An emotionally controlled trading environment. Crosshairs Trading© is a focused, disciplined approach that welcomes patience as the key ingredient of successful trading. With a focus on the elements that make up the Crosshair, the trader has the tools to anticipate market direction for entering and exiting trades under the leadership of controlled emotion.
- Simple, clearly defined charts for entering and exiting trades. Crosshairs Trading© takes advantage of my trademarked combination of indicators and charting parameters that when used properly provide a high probability trading opportunity. The Crosshair has been historically proven to work in both bullish and bearish markets and under various market conditions.
