Alright guys, here's what this week's trade performance looked like. It was a very good week. We did 15 trades. 13 winners and 2 losers. More importantly, we traded well and didn't do dumb mistakes like letting a winner turn into loser, removing stops or over trading. Simple trading in the sectors that were working. I hope you all had a good week.

Remember guys, this is not just an alerts service(i hate calling it that), i wanna offer much more than that. I wanna be a mentor and coach if you need one. Feel free to email me any time about questions, issues, obstacles, successes, setups etc etc.

  2. I don't think anyone can pull off returns like this every week. hahaha! it a was a good week. I was "feeling" it i guess. As long as you keep a tight lid on losses, the winners will work their way into the process.

  3. Just wanted to thank you for the blog. I can't afford the alerts service (recent college grad) but I would certainly consider buying it if I could. I have been studying and reading about trading for 5-6 years now and I can tell that you "get it". Keep up the good work and don't be afraid to throw us "freebies" a bone every now and then, haha.

  5. Stewie that is an amazing week congrats man. Is this a typical week? Also I am just curious when you are taking these trades are you buying a set amount of shares, or rather a set dollar amount? This would obv affect your realized % gains.

  6. hi alex.
    we average about 3 trades a day. I tell everyone to put about 10% of your portfolio into an alert but obviously that just depends on experience as a trader and how confident you are trading. some use 10% and some use more. But as a general rule 10% of your account is a nice amount. so on a $100,000 account, you'd use $10,000 into each alert.

  8. Thanks M.M.M. Honestly, what i really liked about this week is that a lot of guys caught a bunch of these trades and some were a little more patient than me with their exits and benefited a little better on some of these trades. that's what it's all about!! Starting this service has been the most fulfilling endeavour i have ever been involved in.
