I’m not focused on the popular stock of the day but which stock I expect will be next.

Whether you’re a pro or novice trader, finding the right stocks at the right time is a crucial element in your success.  Let us help.  Our stock selections are not generated by technical scanners nor are they based on the latest news or because they’re trending (popular) but rather hand selected stock picks, often still well under the radar, poised to breakout near term.  Get alerts now.


Key strategies that can improve your trading.

  • Downside risk should always be considered to be a significant part of your trading plan.  Be careful thinking that you can know what a stock is going to do, only to end up over time seeing it go considerably lower than you had ever expected and then thinking it’s just too late to sell. It only takes one of these type mistakes to put you into a catastrophic situation.  Don’t let this be you.
  • It’s not so much about calling exact tops for me but rather locking in nice gains when they are there to be taken.  One in the hand is far better than two in the bush.  “Assure profit”
  • Having a mechanical stop loss at the open or just prior to the close is almost like asking to be stopped out.
  • Be careful about getting caught up in short term action.  The trend is your friend and when it’s on your side, time also is on your side.
  • If the news and/or fundamentals coincides with what I’m seeing on the chart, then all the more confidence in the chart.
  • You want to buy low, however to buy based only on a stock being lower without other (bullish) evidence is high risk.
  • Probability says that after a stock breaks out above the $90.00 mark, it’s likely heading for $120.00 and then some.
  • Waiting for a good (the better) buy signal is essential but waiting too long for the stock to go considerably  higher only insures that your entry is at a higher point, therefore higher risk.
  • Make decisions based on the evidence seen, one day at a time, because one never does truly knows what the next day might bring.
  • Be careful about continually raising expectations/targets on stocks.  When a stock rallies so high that you can hardly believe it, it’s most often a good time to start locking in some profit.
  • Find a mentor!


Which charts should you believe?

Are you drawing new lines on your charts and/or looking at multiple time frames or perhaps even getting someone else’s opinion just to try and feel better about your questionable position?  When things seem not so clear, it’s important that you get an objective and non biased view.  We provide just that.  Subscribe now and start receiving unbiased views of the charts, based on real probability.  Try us for the next 7 days, FREE

 

A true story…

I heard a question asked to a Dr. some time ago about how long it would take him to teach someone to remove a gall bladder. His response, “it would take about 4 hours” he said, “however in order to prepare a student to know what to do in the event that something went wrong, it would take more like 4 years”. Trading stocks can seem so easy when everything is going so well, especially in a strong bull market. However when things get more complex it can be incredibly difficult to stay on course and not panic in a given situation. Things happen and it’s important to know what to do in such times. The services that I provide for members are custom designed to assist you in many different types of market environments. So if things are not going as well as you believe they could be, try my service. Subscribe Here
