About Me
I created viditrade’s methodology to quickly find a chart’s signal, so you can focus on execution with confidence.
Speed along the learning curve by immersing yourself... in vidiROOM's live teaching/trading environment, and in daily videos that keep you pointed in the right direction.
viditrade's mission is simple: give traders a clear, repeatable process that works. I don’t sell noise or guesswork—I teach precision, discipline, and consistency. With real-time annotated setups and guiding narrative, I help you trade with confidence, not doubt.
Hundreds of thousands of charts refined over thousands of hours continue to form the foundation of viditrade's method. Patterns, setups, Fibonacci levels, trendlines—these aren’t just signals, they’re distilled patterns that your brain learns through repetition. Every signal is labeled before price arrives, giving you a clean, structured path: observe, count, act. Over time, that objective rhythm becomes your intuition.
viditrade was born from Rod David’s earliest years building the web's first traders chatroom in 1996 at AvidTrader.com. Later, as a Contributing Editor at OptionMonster’s Index Trader blog, he refined intraday techniques for the S&Ps and other futures. Now, viditrade is the next evolution: an on-demand learning platform fused with live coaching, chart overlays, and discipline-building teaching honed over decades.
Rod David is a Chartered Market Technician (CMT, Level II), behavioral finance expert, educator, and pattern analyst. He has been featured across MarketWatch, CNBC, The New York Times, Futures Magazine, and more. Through viditrade, he brings not just signals—but mentorship, context, and decision-making clarity—to every trading session.
Rod David, Founder
Market Strategist, Pattern Analyst, and Educator
*viditrade* is my next-version platform for on-demand access to my decades of proprietary research and trading setups. Content includes live/recorded workshops, vidiVIEWS intraday updates, and participation in the live vidiROOM teaching / trading environment.
I’m a Technical Market Strategist and Behavioral Finance Expert: I am an established chart technician and financial journalist, with a proven ability to identify profitable trading perspectives and actionable setups in all market environments.
In any capacity, I thrive in fast-paced conditions that demand quickly defining the most preferable available actions from imperfect and incomplete information – and then communicating those choices effectively, or deciding among them and executing, all while the inputs remain fresh.
Previously I was a Contributing Editor for optionMONSTER where I produced the Index Trader blog with my intraday timing in S&Ps and other futures markets. Prior to that, I founded AvidTrader.com in 1995, one of the original technical analysis web sites. Through AvidTrader, I launched the web’s first free-access trader’s chatroom in 1996 where technical analysis experts from around the world mingled with newcomers throughout the trading day. Some of the greatest and highest profile kindly sat as my interview guest.
