About Us

Once again, our financial markets are on the brink of a massive, systematic failure.

On top of that, Social Security is on a fast-track to failure, even faster than we had previously guessed.

This time around, however, we have a front line of defense, in the form of a revolutionary figure who is leading an underground movement against the “financial advisors” and the propaganda that puts out. He puts himself out there in order to teach you how you can beat Wall Street and the big banks at their own game.

Markus wants to inspire YOU to take control of your financial future! He shares his story with brutal honesty, starting with his arrival in the United States in 2002 with just $20,000 in his pocket and leading up to his breakthrough as a multi-millionaire.

Markus’ claim to fame is that he can teach anybody how to trade in 60 minutes or less. That’s how simple yet powerful Markus’ trading strategies are.

Already more than 360,000 people have downloaded his book The Complete Guide to Day Trading and started out on their journey to financial freedom. His latest book The Simple Strategy has been a bestseller for the last three years, and he has given talks all around the world and appeared on such major networks as FOX and ABC.

Are you ready to take control of your financial future?

Are you ready to take your next step?

Join the movement today. This is your opportunity to live the life you have always wanted to live. Markus will show you the way.

Rockwell Trading’s founder Markus Heitkoetter often gets the question: “If you are a trader, why do you sell stuff?”

That is an excellent question. Rockwell Trading wasn’t founded by design. Rockwell Trading was founded by accident!

Here’s the story behind Rockwell Trading:

Markus Heitkoetter moved from Germany to the USA in 2002 to become a full time trader.

Shortly after moving to the USA and living the life of a trader, friends and neighbors asked Markus what he does for a living, and he responds “I am a trader.” Most people are intrigued by the idea of working from home and being your own boss, and they want to see what Markus is doing. Markus believes in “show, don’t tell”, and he invites aspiring traders to his home office to show them exactly what he is doing.

And he is getting busy!

Friends tell friends, and more and more people want to stop by his house to see what he is doing.

Markus getting quite busy explaining what he is doing and teaching other people how to trade, and he starts missing trading opportunities! So he decides to write everything down, and with the help of his best friend Tom and his brother Tobias he plans to set up a website and make all his notes available on this website.

Markus realizes that “www.HeitkoettersTradingNotes.com” is not a very good name for a website. Nobody would be able to spell it. After brainstorming different names for the website, Markus’ sister-in-law Anna suggests “Rockwell Trading.”

Anna is from the Philippines, and there’s an upscale shopping mall in Manila called “Rockwell Center” (see picture on the right). Everybody likes the name, and since the website is available, Markus registers it.

Now you know why the company is called “Rockwell Trading” and not “Markus Heitkoetter Trading” 🙂

Within a few days Tom and Tobias uploaded all of Markus’ notes, and on January 29th, 2005  www.rockwelltrading.com became officially live!

As founder of Rockwell Trading, Inc., Markus Heitkoetter has shared his trading methods and ideas with more than 300,000 traders in over 196 countries.

Markus started trading stocks 25 years ago, using point and figure charts from published numbers in the morning newspaper.

In addition, he is the author of the bestselling book ‘The Complete Guide To Day Trading’ and is a regular speaker at Trading Expos and CMEGroup sponsored events. His articles and videos are published on MoneyShow.com, major publications, and thousands of websites around the world.
