To
tell you what I am doing right
- first I need you to see the contrast with what other systems are
doing wrong.
Mistake
#1 : A system that is too narrow
Some
systems will base their entire strategy on just technical indicators,
or multi-day candlestick patterns, or some form of divergence.
The
problem is - all of these systems are only using 2 factors : price and
volume.
Imagine if you were about to invest in a
horse that
competed in racing. Would you be satisfied with only the
weight
and speed of the horse? No matter how you graphed those two
variables - they are only 2 criteria. You no doubt would be
interested in breed of animal, who it was racing against, the jockey's
qualifications, the horse's age, to name just a few important details.
Most
stock systems do not factor in anything but price movement and volume.
On the other hand, Trader's Guide to Options also screens for
overall market conditions, industry, company specifics such as
profitability and much, much more. We take in the factors
that
really matter as we understand that investment is more than finding a
magical pattern that you hope will be like Midas's touch.
Finding
the right stock and timing your buy and sells takes expertise and
common sense.
Mistake
#2 : A system that is too broad
A
stock system should not be too broad in its scope. Many well
intentioned professionals give vague tips and broad guidelines to
follow. Why? Most are afraid of being wrong.
You
cannot be right all the time - but this is exactly what they may try to
do. By giving too many choices - they always leave themselves
a
back-door to rationalize, after
the fact, that they were still right.
Trader's
Guide to Options covers many areas, but it also recognizes the need to
give precise signals to buy and sell. Is it right all the
time?
Of course not - but you also do not need to be to make amazing gains.
You merely need to know the secret of riding the profits as
long
as possible while minimizing your losses and cutting them short.
At
the end of the day - you want an expert opinion that is clear and
precise.
That is what you get.
Mistake
#3 : An inflexible system
Most
systems available now come as plug-ins to an automated piece of
software. While helping to automate the process - it also
takes
the power away from you - the investor. What happens when the
market changes - does your rigid piece of software change with it? No.
Will you be able to detect what variables have changed and
alter
them to keep your profitable streak - or will you keep hoping while it
drains your account?
As well, all investors are
different.
Your system should be able to conform to your ideologies and
values - not the other way around.
Trader's Guide to
Options adapts to you. Are you into high reward
with higher
risk? You can alter this system for making a double-bagger
each
month while raising you risk levels. Do you prefer to buy and
hold winning stocks for a longer period of time - squeezing every last
cent from it and only trading a few times per year? Easily
done.
Do you prefer to trade the best of the gold stocks, or high
tech,
or some other industry? Done in an instant.
This
system takes the best of the stock market and fits it to your goals,
comfort levels, and style.
Mistake
#4 : Low profits mean low
risk - and vice versa
It would be a lie to say
that you can double your money in a month without risk.
But
some people feel that it is safer to go with a very 'reasonable' system
that only offers 15 or 20 percent annual profits as this means you are
assured that gain. And these same people feel that to double
you
money in a stock must mean that you are risking losing it all.
Consider
this for a moment. Two men invest in the same stock.
One
man invests $100,000. He hopes the stock goes up.
Lets say
that the upside potential is that the stock doubles and the downside is
that it goes bankrupt. He can make 100% profits or lose 100%.
He either gains $100,000 or loses $100,000.
Now
another man invests in the same stock but with a proper option(as per
Trader's Guide to Options). He only risks $10,000.
With
that option, if the stock doubles, will be worth 10 times what he
bought it for. His upside is 1000% gain or $100,000 - while
his
downside is only $10,000.
Two men invest in the same
stock. Both have the same upside potential while one of the
men has 10 times
the risk. Now this was just to illustrate that high profit
does
not have to mean unacceptable risk. In fact - the biggest
risk
takers are people without a system as they are the very fiber or the
emotional roller-coaster that unethical people manipulate.
And
by
the way, the example above is real - the system I invented really gives
back 10 to 1. Every 10% rise in the stock is 100% profits.
