The terms Smart Leverage and Modern Money are phrases first coined and used by Tao Jones in his consulting practice with private clients.

Smart Leverage is the intelligent and strategic use of a combination of tools including Futures instruments, pattern recognition to access the outsized opportunity needed to offset and outpace currency debasement caused by government facilitated monetary expansion (printing) more money, aka "counterfeiting".

Modern Money is used interchangeable with Bitcoin.

We use modern money to help frame the concept of bitcoin and help newcomers to the technology understand it for what it is in it's essence and what it does for humanity as a whole.

Bitcoin is a new species of money, perfectly designed and fairly launched / released into the world in 2009.

The story about it's creator / pseudonymous inventor Satoshi Nakamoto adds an element of mystery that may very well be one of the most important early factors that allowed bitcoin to flourish in it's nascent years before it could be attacked by competing centralized interests had the genius software coder been known.

It is a protocol to be more accurate, a new incentives system aligned with the laws of nature and thermodynamics.

Bitcoin is very deep as a result because it is many things simultaneously and will serve the individual who adopts it's use in varying ways, all will be immensely positive as far as we can perceive.

We also believe that the invention of bitcoin (which took many decades in the making), a history well worth learning about, is on par with the discovery of the element of fire, and the invention of steel as a building material, to pull from Michael Saylor's paradigm changing talks on bitcoin starting in 2020. It will have similar if not more impact on humanity as both of these.

The "rabbit hole" that is bitcoin is expansive and everyone involved with it is learning about it's profundity with each day that passes.

Doing our part to teach Bitcoin as Modern Money to our customer base is both an honor and a joyful endeavor here at M3.

An acronym that stands for Pattern Recognition as a Service. This is our flagship offering for Futures traders.

Derivatives products contain inherent risks because they utilize leverage, similar to the use of a home mortgage that gives control of a much larger asset through borrowed capital in connection with a small fraction of the upfront capital (down payment) that would otherwise be required to benefit from ownership. In derivatives, we refer to this down payment as “margin” or credit.

Potentially, and hypothetically, a market participant can lose more money than they have available in their brokerage account. Of course, brokers manage carefully the risks associated with allowing customers to trade on “margin” or credit, and are incentivized to prevent this from happening as well. They are in the risk management business too, and they prefer customers remain liquid and solvent, otherwise trading fees cannot be generated, in the same way banks prefer if their mortgagees can pay their monthly payments.

As with any other aspects of life, risk is ever present. There is nothing of value that can be gained without the possibility of “things going wrong” and the potential of loss. Strong risk to reward analysis skills must be implemented and always respected. It is this single component of decision making that forms the foundation of long term trading success.

Comparatively to stock investing on it’s own, in our non-advisory opinion, Futures and Options contract utilization presents less risk overall (when coupled with strategically placed and properly managed stop loss orders) and can offer far more potential for opportunity than other financial instruments.

To gain a general knowledge base about Futures markets and how contracts are traded electronically, spend time exploring the CME Group website. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange offers a vast plethora of information about these markets and even has some free course material to introduce novices to this interesting area of the “money” markets.

In addition, Future St8 Consulting, the proprietor of this website and the creator of the M3 pattern recognition trading system offers customized 1-on-1 and small group education opportunities by request, and our on-demand Futures Education portal. Check out our time sensitive offers page here as well.

We do not offer free access to our private club memberships and flagship service (PRaaS), however you can learn more about our perspective on pattern recognition and how it can be used to transform your financial situation when combined with SMART Leverage in the form of Futures trading, just by reading through all of our website content. Click on all the links and buttons and do some groundwork.

We also offer by invitation a 30-day trial membership to our PRaaS Live Streams for $297, a small cost to get 30 days of access to daily insights and training. With 20 trading days per month and 2-3 hour morning sessions, your out of pocket breaks down to about $4.95 / hr to learn a life skill that can set you free for the rest of your life. We typically offer this private club membership to customers who have gone through our level one training course called Futures Foundations found here.

Outsized Opportunity is another way to say something has an exceptionally favorable reward to risk ratio. Futures by nature offer exception leverage already.

We recognized the incredible asymmetry associated with learning how to harness the leverage available with Futures (and Options).

We believe Futures trading presents a learnable skillset with an earning potential that is difficult to rival. We also view intraday trading as a lifelong opportunity that is for all intensive purposes, infinitely scalable. The limiting factors for scaling trade size are several, including personal risk tolerance, risk capital available to trade with and proficiency of skill, all of which can improve over time for committed learners.

When skill and experience are combined with specialized insights through professional grade pattern recognition tools and training, the opportunity multiplies, while the risks associated with “market speculation” are at the least, not increased in equal proportion. This asymmetry of opportunity skews matters favorably for the disciplined risk taker and dedicated student of the markets.

This is undoubtedly one of the most popular questions asked from prospective customers / clients The answer of course depends on the following things:

What do you want to learn, how fast do you want to learn it, how much money are you looking to generate, and how much money do you have to work with in running a SMART-leverage-focused trading business?

All of these variables will affect the out of pocket costs to get where you want to be (your Future state).

Risk Capital

It’s safe to say that if you are interested in using Futures contracts to form the basis of your leverage strategies, a $3,000 - 5,000 minimum starting account size is workable. In addition to “risk” capital allocation (the life blood of any trading business), you will need to invest in proper training and education.

Training / Education

Depending on your starting experience level with capital markets, you may need a few hours of consulting, or a few months of dedicated foundations training which will not set you back more than $1,000-2,000.

On Going Expenses

For less than a few hundred dollars per month, a personal trading business can be run from anywhere in the world. Access to guidance and community tools will be valuable to many independent business owners, but not a requirement.

After reading though our website and taking any of our introductory courses or free materials, you should be able to determine If you align with our perspective on the importance of incorporating SMART leverage into your earning activities.

If you also want to be in contact with a dedicated group of derivatives trading professionals who are hell bent on educating savvy entrepreneurs, and you respect our narrative that the capital markets can and should be used as a tool to extract value from a broken and corrupt monetary system, to be injected into the building of a parallel financial world founded on honest and sound modern money, then M3 is the perfect place to be.

We understand that our narrative around money is currently a niche subculture, but growing rapidly as people wake up to how the world of money works, or more accurately, doesn't work!

We believe our material is and will continue to offer unique and effective methods for implementation because of the angle we approach trading from. See for yourself and take a risk on spending time with us on the battlefield.

Yes, at the heart of our teaching material is the circumventing power of bitcoin's decentralized, permission-less and borderless monetary settlement technology.

We believe that bitcoin adoption by merchants rests at the root of solving many of the world's challenges with government corruption and the exploitation of society by privately held central banks that are disguised as government infrastructure.

The mass adoption of bitcoin by merchants around the planet allow for bitcoin to be used as everyday money that can not be confiscated or censored. It's this modern form of money that allows humanity to bleed corruption to death and force governments to start spending responsibly and honestly in a transparent way.
