This document provides information about a group called Vancouver Disciplined Trading Hub (VDTH) that meets every Sunday to discuss trading strategies. The group is led by Karim Adatia, Maki Yanagi and other financial educators. They teach about disciplined trading, which involves predefining risk, cutting losses, and using systematic money management. Their inspiration comes from traders like Mark Douglas and Norman Hallet. The group offers content and programs on non-directional and directional trades that utilize options strategies. Non-directional trades focus on range-bound markets using techniques like iron condors that benefit from time decay. The document provides disclaimers about the educational nature of the content and that they are not providing individual recommendations

3. 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
