=======================================
Tip of today
Dont go on buying when a share starts going down, but dont leave without buying when a stock hits bottom,makes a support and fails to go down.
===============================================
If you bought a stock at very high price,dont worry.

Dont sell for loss.Just wait.

once the stock hits a bottom, buy some more.but only after confirming it hit a solid support level. now you bought at high price and low price average out your price,the overall buy price is lower now
repeat this exercise,only if the stock is good one.
finally sell for profit after a 3 month or 6 month time.

Testimonials
"Sam, thanks for another good and informative article. You are my great teacher."
Peter A., November 2007
"Sam, I just thought I would send you a quick email and tell you how my trading is going. On the 18th I decided to switch from the Ym to the ES. In the 6 days since then I have had 15 trades and have made 19.75 Points. I know there might be a lot of people that make more money then me but for me that is huge. I trade with 5 contracts and so that is $4937.50 in 6 days. I have read about people that trade hundreds and even thousands of contracts and even though I may never go that high this is the first time I have ever thought that maybe I could really start going up. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your articles."
Rick H., November 2007
"Excellent report, thanks Fernando... still learning the trade here, and every so often you come by bringing great lessons, like a lighthouse shining in the middle of a thick fog. Blessings of gratitude!"
Maria, March 2007
"Your market synopsis has been an invaluable tool in deciphering the directions of the market and understanding the complex undercurrents that one has to navigate through. Please keep up the good work. From one who is still in a learning curve Sincerely yours,"

ABOUT "DECISIONBAR"
What Makes DecisionBar® Different

Here are a few of the things that differentiate DecisionBar from other trading software:

DecisionBar places historical trading signals on your chart exactly where they would have occurred in real time, so you can review them and optimize your trades for current market conditions.

Support and resistance (supply and demand) change from minute to minute. DecisionBar automatically charts and adjusts support and resistance levels in real time.
DecisionBar generates trading signals in real time based on supply, demand, and volume, which means...
1)
Whenever the price of a security breaks a support or resistance line (called a Breakdown or Breakout)... fails to break a support or resistance line (called a Failure)... or appears to have run its course (called an Exhaustion)--you can make a decision whether you want to enter a trade or exit a trade you've already made.
2)
What's more, you can use the proprietary risk oscillator at the bottom of the DecisionBar screen for additional confirmation.
3)
You'll also receive secondary reversal warnings to notify you of potential reversals. These warnings allow you to exit trades that don't materialize before you take a loss.

Now, this next one's a "biggie," and I feel it's important to call your attention to it...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some trading software adds buy and sell signals after the fact. The signals are delayed. Then, if they happen to be wrong, the software removes the false signals to hide the evidence of the mistake. But not with DecisionBar...
All buy & sell signals are issued in real time and are not removed once they have been issued.
Yes, you read that correctly. You receive accurate buy and sell signals in real time--they are never removed. DecisionBar Trading Software pulls no punches.

Furthermore, you stay in complete control. Only enter or exit a trade if you feel 100% comfortable with your decision.

Eliminate The Stress Of High-Risk Trades
Perhaps you've been stressed to the max and have had trouble focusing during the day and sleeping at night because you're holding a high risk position. Your emotions are almost out of control.

Once you become a DecisionBar member, you too will enjoy what it's like to be in low risk/high potential trades. It's a wonderful feeling compared to the "old way" of picking trades.
The DecisionBar methodology, which is spelled out clearly in the 77-page trading manual that is included with your membership, is low risk. By following my advice, you'll never risk much money on any single trade... but you'll position yourself for big upside movements. Because the DecisionBar methodology is low risk, your whole trading experience is low stress.


===========================
Ramesh151 SAYS this, read and remember,

Trading is of course by chances, but by practice,you learn to maximise your winning chances, and learn to minimise your loosing chances,learn to escape with minimum loss whenever market turns against you.

Nothing wrong if you lost a trade,question is did you make a big loss or not.
If you did not make a big loss,then you are ok,just needs more practice,more paper trading is needed.
iF YOU ARE MAKING BIG LOSSES CONTINUOUSLY,THEN YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE MARKET, STOP TRADING, GO FOR PAPER TRADING.
just do this simple thing
Take a chart in a time frame you like.
think that the market just opened now at 10am, you close rightside of chart witha paper. and slowly plan your trading action, by moving paper towards rightside slowly,imagine you are getting to know the market price as time is passing.
write down your actions, trade from 10 to 3-30pm using yesterday or past month chart,
remember at 11am, you can see charet only upto 11am. rest is covered and you cant see it.

do this with different charts
analyse your actions
ask yourself can i maximise profit, minimise loss?
if answer is yes then go to real time trading.
Now trade without money
you act asif you are trading with money
record your actions
find out where is your weakness
try and fix it

repeat exercise in real time chart,without money
then you decide
-------------
Happy trading
Ramesh151


Record all your trades real or fictitious,
ask yourself
1 Was it a low risk entry? is the entry near a support for buying and near resistance for short selling?

2.WAS THE REWARD TO RISK RATIO GREATER THAN 1.5?
3.DID i PLAN A STOPLOSS AS i ENTER THE TRADE?
4.DID i IMPLEMENT THE STOPLOSS?
5.DID I USE A POSITION SIZING FORMULA?

Secrets of masters-TRADING GAME

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



GentleMen,

Wise men learn from others experiences (or planned scenarios), while fooolish wait for their own experience.

In trading, people make same mistakes over and over, and refuse to learn from mistakes.In this process money is lost.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLICK ON LINK at the bottom or use url given above

Here a trading game is given by playing which again and again,people are educated
about position sizing-the game designed by VAN THARP.

----------------------------------------------
People are always looking for the "real" secrets of trading success,

but their mental biases always have them looking in the wrong places and at the wrong things.

Consequently, they search for magical trading systems with 75% accuracy or better or for great entry systems that they think will help them pick the right stock. Picking the right stock has nothing to do with success and neither does the accuracy of your stock picking.

##############################################################################
Practically all Market Wizards agree that the key ingredients to your success are:

(1) the golden rule of trading—"cut your losses short and let your profits run;"

(2) that part of your trading system that tells you how much; and,

(3) the discipline to do both.

When you think about the golden rule of trading, it basically describes exits—how you abort losses and ride winners.

When you think about Position Sizing™, it basically controls how much you risk on any given trade.

Dr. Tharp designed the "Secrets of the Masters™" Trading Game to help you learn the secrets to trading success before you trade the markets.
This game totally de-emphasizes entry or "stock picking" and instead requires that you focus on the most important aspects of trading—Position Sizing™ and letting your profits run. Our new game has ten levels that get progressively more difficult to master. However, once you’ve mastered these principles, you’ll know you’ve mastered some of the key skills to trading success.

Download the game to your computer by clicking on the link above. You will have the opportunity to play levels one through three of the game for FREE.

If you choose to purchase the Secrets of the Masters™" Trading Game, which includes unlimited access to levels 4-10, all you'll have to do is order on line or call IITM at 1-800-385-4486. The entire game is $195. Once you order the game we will give you a personal access code that will allow you to play all levels of the Secrets of the Masters™" Trading Game.

OPINION

"I have found the game to very helpful, and I’ve played it over and over again with different money management programs. It’s one thing to read about the mind traps that traders create regarding probabilities and the gambler’s fallacy, or to read that random number series can contain protracted winning and losing streaks, but playing a simulation that feels like trading really drives home the lessons about disciple, systems, and expectancy. Playing the game over time helps reinforce the idea that you get the same probability distributions as everyone else, and that your trading plan will need to address this fact through money management, position sizing, trading rules etc.
"I have found that it also helps you change the way you frame the activity of trading, because the game focuses on systems results and strips away entries, setups and the other false control illusions that traders inevitably get wrapped up in. At first it didn’t feel like trading, because it didn’t focus on the things that I did when I traded, but gradually it

"It dawned on me that I might not be focusing on the right areas. The opportunity to view a trading system as the random distribution of hundreds or thousands of independent trials changed my view about my ability to "change the markets", and focusing on maximizing system outcomes has given me a fresh perspective on trading, systems development, and risk." —Alan Stevens, Boulder CO



*********************************************************************************
Just Play the Gameby Melita Hunt

Most of you know that we have a downloadable trading simulation game called Secrets of the Masters, which is designed to help you learn position sizing more effectively.

All in all, it is just a game, yet I am astounded at the number of people that call in trying to “get it right,” analyzing it and wanting to “learn what to do properly” versus just playing the game.
The game is designed to be experiential,

which basically means

that you just play it over and over again (without costing any real money) until you get an internal feeling or understanding of the various things that can happen to you in the markets and how your decisions about position sizing affect the random scenarios that you find yourself in. The more you have the experience, the more you learn.

Yet there are so many detailed folks out there who are so intent on getting down into the nuances of how it works, what it should/shouldn’t be doing and trying their best to determine the statistics, numbers and algorithms and what it is likely to do next, that they lose the enjoyment and experience of just playing the game.

I wonder how many people do this with the markets?

Are you a chronic “predictor” trying to get the markets right? Wanting to work out or know what they will do next?

Well I’ve got some bad news for you, the market doesn’t know or care when you enter or exit it. It just does what it does and the answers aren’t going to come until after the fact.
==========================================================
But don’t get me wrong, I absolutely encourage learning as much as you can about trading, but it’s like swimming or riding a bike. The real experience comes when you jump in the pool or take off those training wheels.
And if it’s not trading, then where else is it in your life that you haven’t been willing to just jump in and play the game?

Money Management- A must for trading-Hints

-------------------------------------------------------
Gentlemen,

### First thing first, Education


please read articles at link given here.

http://www.traders.com/Reprints/PDF_reprints/TC_FINE.PDF



### Second thing:
What is most important for trading?

Preparation:
If you are going to trade tomorrow,prepare tonight.

Next
Money Management is top priority.
MM means how much loss to take, how many shares or futures to buy,how much to invest and how to calculate all that etc
read link

======================================================
Proper trade size=No of shares/futures contracts to buy

FORMULA
Proper trade size= (Risk amount- commission)/(Difference between Entry price and Stop loss price)

Remember, commission=brokerage and taxes
Putting in figures, (500-80)/1.5=280 shares
1.5= difference between entry price and stoploss level, 500 is the risk amount, 80 is the commission

Example
Max risk=2% of TRADING ACCOUNT SIZE,ie, capital per trade
Account size=25000
Risk amount=2% of 25000=500
stock=MSFT
Entry price=60 Initial stoploss=58.5
Difference between entry and stoploss=1.5
Commission per round trip,ie,for buying plus selling=80
MAXIMUM TRADESIZE= 280 shares by calculation
-----------
Summary

we invested in only so many shares,if loss comes it wont exceed 500,our max risk amount.

Amount invested=280shares at 60=16800
See the beauty THOUGH WE HAD 25000 AVAILABLE, WE HAVE CHOSEN TO INVEST ONLY 16800

------------------------
LIMITING RISK TO X% ON EACH TRADE IS THE KEY TO SURVIVAL.LIMITING MAX RISK TO
2% OF TRADING ACCOUNT SIZE IS THE KEY TO SURVIVAL.
wHY X% ON EACH TRADE? bECAUSE IT IS FLEXIBLE,BASED ON SCRIP AVERAGE TRUE RANGE, WE SET THIS X%.

Good luck

Trading edge comes from trading basics-not indicators

Gentlemen,

First, let me thank the excellent coach,Sam Seiden, sseiden@tradingacademy.com for his wonderful insight into how trading is to be taught in a practical way.

Lessons from the Pros are powerful trading articles covering all aspects of trading, including charting, technical analysis, shorting, taxes and more.
The recent best lesson you can find at



------------------------------------------
Summary:
1)Does your trading lack the "trader's edge" needed to be a consistent winner in the markets?
2)Do you find yourself entering and exiting positions at the very wrong time?
Learn to understand first why most traders fail
If you enter and exit along with the crowds using the charts,indicators and other tools the way they do,you will do what they do-say enter and exit trades with no trading edge.
The Nucleus or core of this lesson is
The whole thing is you must know how to properly identify and utilize support (demand) and resistance (supply).
Then you can become a consistent winner and benefit from those very consistent loosers of two groups who are (a)Never had any trading education (They decide buy/sell based on emotion or (b)second group are the people who have been thoroughly educated, Exactly the wrong way .

What is so special about second group of highly trained traders?

This group is in much worse shape than the first group
because they are walking east and west trying to find the North Pole
and don't even know it.

Now you can guess why 90% of traders fail?
Not due to emotion based trading(new traders and untrained traders), but due to
ignoring the trading basic number one-support and resistance coupled with low risk entry-misinformed folks. Just price chart alone is sufficient to trade,no need of complicated indicators.

Objective Rule Based Trading with Consistent Low Risk/High Reward Results - The Online Trading Academy Way
Does your trading lack the "trader's edge" needed to be a consistent winner in the markets?
Do you find yourself entering and exiting positions at the very wrong time?
If the answer is yes, you're not alone.
The good news is that there is a very specific reason why the majority of traders enter and exit trades with very poor timing. Also, the answers needed to fix this problem are far simpler than you may think.
To gain the edge and learn how to stack the odds in our favor, we will go back to the school of basics, not just to review the basic concepts but more importantly to look at them very differently than we have before.
At Online Trading Academy, we know that if we look at charts, indicators, and any other tools used to perform market analysis the same way everybody else does, we would just be entering and exiting positions with them as well which gives us little to no edge.
To gain the consistent edge which means low risk/high reward entries, we must first have a solid understanding of why most traders fail.
Second, realize that moves in the markets are driven by mass psychology and the pure laws of supply and demand.
Third, know how to properly identify and utilize support (demand) and resistance (supply).
Finally, we need to be able to see what this looks like on a chart and also have an objective and mechanical set of criteria for execution.
Today, I was teaching the Online Trading Academy Professional Trader Part 1 and 2 class in Houston Texas . It's now day six of the seven day class and for me, day six is always my favorite. The reason it's my favorite day of the class is because this is when I can really see the students trading the markets the way I have been teaching them all week. They tend to do well on days four and five but by day six, most are trading very well and having a blast doing it. While it's fun to trade and make money, by day six, they realize they have been taught the rules for obtaining consistent low risk/high reward profits forever, not just a strategy that will work in certain market environments, and break down in others.
They understand now that
when you have a solid understanding of pure supply and demand coupled with objective and mechanical rules for analyzing a chart and trading, you are able to perform the same in any and all markets, and market environments.
As I mentioned before, most people lose consistently in trading. There are two groups of consistent losers and it's important that you get to know them well. I will explain why in a minute.
The first group is the group who has never been educated in trading. This group tends to make buy and sell decisions based on emotion.
The second group are the people who have been thoroughly educated, the wrong way .
This group is in much worse shape than the first group
because they are walking east and west trying to find the North Pole
and don't even know it.
They don't know it because they are following the rules they were given and likely paid for so how can the education be wrong? It must work! Think again... The problem is that the foundation of their strategy and training is fraught with lagging indicators and oscillators that only increase risk, traditional chart patterns that are better served with a frame around them on your wall, and tons of illusions given to them by those who have more to gain by obscuring reality .
Let's go back to school and re-learn some basic concepts you may have already been taught, the wrong way.
The reason I said that you had better get to know the consistent loser very well is because these people are the ones who provide income for the consistently profitable trader.
Let's explore this by looking at three trades taken today by students in my class trading real Online Trading Academy money, using objective rules based on the laws and principles of supply (resistance) and demand (support).

This student sold short at the circled area.
Example1
The trading platform inserts the little green line at the entry price. The student inserted the blue lines to identify the objective supply (resistance) level. As price was rising for shares of ADBE, my student was waiting for price to come up to his level so that he could sell short. He only wanted to short at his predetermined level for the following reason...
This reason is the key to a proper foundation when buying and selling anything. It's the difference between consistent profits and consistent losses.
When price came up to his supply level, intelligently he sold short to the buyer who was buying AFTER an advance in price and at a price level where SUPPLY EXCEEDED DEMAND.
The laws of supply and demand ensure that the buyer of anything who takes this action will lose consistently.
The student who made this day trade gladly sold to this ill-informed buyer. Shorting at the turn in price means your risk is very low and your reward is very high. The longer you wait to short from the level, the higher the risk and lower the reward. We will revisit this topic in the weeks to come.

The supply level here in ABAX again represents temporary price stability which gives the appearance of supply and demand equilibrium. The price drop from that level tells us objectively this is really a price level where supply greatly exceeded demand. Therefore, if and when price revisits this supply level for the first time, we can say that price is revisiting a level where supply greatly exceeds demand.
In any market, when price is at a level where supply greatly exceeds demand, prices decline.
Example2
Again, another intelligent student in class sold to a buyer who was buying AFTER an advance in price and at a price level where SUPPLY EXCEEDED DEMAND.
His short entry was at the circled area. Mind you, this is a daily chart and a huge low risk gain in a short period of time.
What I impressed upon the student was the fact that while the gain was nice, the most important part of the trade was the low risk entry taken to obtain that gain.
An Observation...
I have been trading and providing trading education for many years.
One of the most important lessons I have learned is that most people can't follow simple rules.
I can hand someone quality trading tools and a mechanical set of rules on a silver platter but if the foundation of their trading belief system is faulty, they will not be able to follow or execute the simple rules.
The problem is that they succumb to illusion filters they don't even know are present. These illusion creators can come in the form of lagging indicators and oscillators, market or economic news, so-called professional's opinions, green and red candles on your price charts, and so on.
This leads to falling for what I like to call, "the illusion trap".

At Online Trading Academy, our objective is to not only teach people how NOT to fall for these traps but also how to get paid from those who do with a set of objective rules.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The consistent looser pays the consistent winner in the markets and the winner uses the right timing of entry exit based on support-resistance (demand-supply).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRADING BASIC NUMBER ONE TO BE A CONSISTENT WINNER IN TRADING

IDENTIFY DEMAND(SUPPORT) AND SUPPLY(RESISTANCE) BALANCE, SELL AT RESISTANCE,BUY AT SUPPORT (Loosers do exact opposite)

Part-2 LONG TERM INVESTING-SCALE IN

Part-2 Long Term Investing With Trailing Stop
JDS Uniphase:

A Perfect Run-Up in the Stock MarketAnd now we've come to our quintessential example of the power of the trailing stop: JDS Uniphase.

Even though the story is almost five years old, it defines the profit-making power of trailing stops like no other.

In March of 1999 we heartily recommended JDS Uniphase. We said then that "it would be the company that would create the next great fortune," and it "is one stock investment that you don't want to miss." We placed the normal 25% trailing stop on it. It turns out this was sage advice, as the stock had a perfect, even breathtaking, run-up.

It rose from our recommended price of $10.95 (split adjusted) to $110.12–a whopping 905.66% in 14 months.

But amazingly, during that entire stretch, the stock never had a real pullback in the market. Without the 25% trailing stop strategy, it would have been tempting to sell some or all of it at 100% or 200%. Had we done that, we would have missed out. When the stock reached $150 we were still in it, and subtracting 25%, the lowest price we would sell this stock would be $112.50.

As it turned out too, $150 was the high point for the stock. Of course we didn't know this at the time, nor did anyone else. But that's the great thing about the trailing stop system–it takes the "guesswork" out of trying to determine a stock's value. We let the market tell us when the run is over. The trailing stop system always keeps us from losing our shirt and always locks in our profits when a stock has had a significant gain.

How many times have you heard of investors saying they made 100%, 200% or more–only to give it all back when the stock corrected? That's not happening with our system–sure, we may give back a little, but we're always locking in profits on our winners. If JDS Uniphase had continued to rise above $150, we would have been along for the ride. But in this case, $150 was the top, and it gives one a great feeling knowing that even if the worst were to happen–a stock collapse–we would have a huge 905%+ profit. That's the beauty of the 25% trailing stop strategy.

The Rest of the Story–Don't Buy and Hold

JDS Uniphase also provides a dramatic example of the benefits of our system versus the perils of holding and hoping. As we said above, we took more than 906% profits from this investment. JDS was a grand slam for us. Unfortunately, for investors who don't use a trailing stop strategy, JDS is also the perfect example of the "big fish that got away." From its high of more than $150 per share, the stock has plummeted. As of July 2004, JDS was trading at a little over $3.28 per share–that's about a 97% drop from the high.

Use Daily Prices in Your Stock Market Investment Strategy

We use end-of-day prices for all our calculations, not inter-day prices. You should too. This makes things easier.

If a stock has gone to $100, put a mental stop at $75. If, subsequently, the stock closes at or below that $75 level, sell your shares the next day. The Oxford Club's web site features daily updates and posts on our recommendations. The instant one of our stocks triggers our trailing stop, we immediately post notification on the web, so that you can take immediate action. This means that you don't have to follow the stock yourself or worry about when you should sell. Remember, the key is discipline. This is a good technique. Stick to it. Choose a broker who understands trailing stops and will do the work for you. Stock Market Investment Advice You Can't Afford to Miss Out OnIf you use a discount broker or trade on the Internet, there may be times when you are moving your stop up each day–even when you are on vacation (that's a great problem–it means you're making money). We know that most people need time away from the stock market to recharge their batteries. Each person has to decide whether it pays to go with a full-service stock broker who can run their investments for them. To help with this decision, we initiated our Oxford Club Safety Switch e-mail service. Now, any time one of our recommendations hits our trailing stop, we immediately alert our members via e-mail. One thing about life is certain: You are never going to know the future. Nobody–even the most astute analyst or investment advisor–can know enough about a particular company, industry or the nuances of the stock market to anticipate with 100% certainty the future price of a stock.

But common sense dictates two investment fundamentals:

1) Taking small losses is much better than taking big losses.

2) Letting your profits run is much better than cutting them off prematurely.

Using trailing stops is the best first step you can take to greatly improve your portfolio's return. Follow this time-tested technique of the world's greatest investors and your investments will outperform those of your friends, neighbors and even your fund managers. This is the first step to having a coherent, reliable system that will let you sleep at night and give you the satisfaction of knowing you're maximizing your profits. Once you apply trailing stops, you'll be that much further ahead of the ordinary investor. Now, you're ready to go to the next level in our 'Stock Market Investment Advice' White Paper–and learn the next secret of the world's greatest investors...

Secret #2: Go With "Low Risk"–And Then Let Your Winners Run

You've learned that the first secret shared by 99% of the world's greatest investors is that they never–ever–allow any one of their investments to rack-up huge losses in the market. We've seen how trailing stops help there.

The other secret is that they always invest in what they call "low-risk" opportunities.

Now, as you'll see, that doesn't mean their stocks or investments carry no risk or that they're not expecting very high gains from these investments. Quite the contrary. After all, we can't make 30%, 50%, or 70% each year if we have our money in savings accounts or money market funds. Those are low-risk strategies for your money, but they're also extremely low profit. For the world's most successful investors, low risk means entering only into positions where the probability for high profits far exceeds the possibility of losses over the long run.

They invest their money in such a way as to position themselves for maximum profits while–at the very same time–ensuring that their exposure to serious loss is absolutely non-existent.

A High-Profit Tool for Sophisticated Investors

"Position sizing" is really all about money management. But it's not the kind you use to make sure you have enough money on hand to pay expenses like the mortgage, household bills, college tuition for your children, car payments, etc. The money management connected with position sizing is strictly limited to your investment portfolio. And it's every bit as crucial to your profits as trailing stops and the stocks you choose. That's because this management process tells you how much you should invest in your positions so that you're not risking more than you're comfortable with. Position sizing also helps you when you decide it's time to add to your winning investments–a process we'll discuss in a moment.

Investment Advice in the Form of a Marble Game? At the many seminars he speaks at each year (including The Oxford Club's Investment U), Dr. Tharp illustrates the importance of position sizing by having the participants play an investment game using a bag of marbles... At the start of the marble game, participants are each given $100,000 in play money to seed their portfolio. There are 20 marbles in the bag, each one representing either a losing (black marble) or a winning (white marble) trade. There's one more interesting variable. Sixty percent of the marbles in the bag are winners while 40% are losers. And each marble is replaced after it is drawn. One of the winners is a "10 times winner," and one of the losers is a "5 times loser." Now, the odds of winning in this marble game are far higher than the odds you and I face in the markets. Still, when Dr. Tharp conducts this game with his seminar audiences, more than two- thirds of the participants always lose money. And a full one-third go bankrupt! How is that possible? How can a majority of people lose in a game in which the odds are so heavily in their favor? The answer is very simple: Those who lose money do so because they have no idea how much they should be investing in any one marble draw. They are playing the game without a "system," so they're really doing nothing but gambling. This sort of approach doesn't win the marble game. And, in the real-world investment game, it won't lead to long-term wealth. The key to success they're missing in the marble game– and the strategy you should use in your portfolio–is position sizing. Successful Investing Is Emotionless Investing Just as we saw when we were looking at trailing stops, investors in this marble game lose money because they get caught up in the emotions of investing. During his marble game, Dr. Tharp does just what's needed to push all the "hot buttons" of his audience... For example, after 10 pulls from the bag, he'll ask to see the hands of all those whose play-money portfolios have doubled in value. And a few hands always go up. Of course, when the others in the game–the vast majority–see that a few of their fellow participants have hit it big already, worry and envy enter the picture. And what do you think happens? In an attempt to catch up with the winners, the other participants start increasing their bets. Problem is, when these ill-considered bets turn out to be losers, they're doomed to failure–they dig themselves into a hole they can't get out of.Now, I'll show you how you could win in this marble game. It's the same way you'll win in the real-life investing game– the game that will determine the level of wealth you're going to attain in this life. Here's how you can pursue the very same low- risk ideas the world's best investors go after... First of all, I'm assuming that you'll be following our investment advice and always have 25% trailing stops on your investments. The 25% is our rule–you can chose your own percentage. The most important thing is that you use it consistently! Based on this assumption, for your investments to be low-risk, you should be dealing with odds of at least 2-to-1 or 3- to-1 in your favor, and that means you should be expecting returns of between 50% and 75% on your profitable investments. We arrive at those figures knowing that because you'll never lose more than 25% on any one investment (you'll be stopped out at a 25% loss), 50% and 75% gains represent, respectively, 2- to-1 and 3-to-1 odds. To give you another example,let's say you invest in a stock that you expect to return only 30% rather than 50% or 75%. To keep your investment low risk (and your odds at 3-to-1), you'd have to change your trailing stop from 25% to 10%. Whatever your expected profits, here are two "golden rules" you should follow: Know your worst-case scenario to keep from going bankrupt Determine how much you're willing to lose in any one investment Now we'll see how you would apply these two golden rules to Dr. Tharp's marble game in order to come out a winner. You'd first have to decide how much of your $100,000 you were willing to lose on any one marble pull. Now, because you're adhering to The Oxford Club's 25% trailing stop rule, that decision won't be difficult for you–you know that 25% is the maximum you're ever going to lose. So you would never want to put more than 5% of your money on any one marble–because if you were to pull that 5 times loser out of the bag, you'd hit your stop-loss limit (5% x 5% = 25%). You'd have to start with a bet of $5,000 (5% of $100,000). But what would you do next? Would you simply continue to bet $5,000 on every marble you pulled from the bag? Well, because the odds of this game are heavily stacked in your favor, that strategy would probably mean you'd end the game with more money than when you started. So it would be a good strategy–but it's not the best you can do... To really optimize the profit on your investments–in the marble game or in real life–you should scale the size of your investments to the amount of total capital you have in your portfolio. Our Stock Advice: Always Know Exactly How Much to Invest in the Market for Maximum Profit and Comfort If in the marble game your portfolio had grown from the starting $100,000 to $200,000, and you want to stick with your 5% rule, then instead of investing $5,000 on your next investment, you'd go with $10,000. Your risk stays the same (a $10,000 investment in a $200,000 portfolio is the same as a $5,000 investment in a $100,000 portfolio), but your potential for profit escalates because you have more money in play. Similarly, if you happen to start out with some losses, you only risk 5% of what remains in your portfolio. For your initial investment and for all subsequent investments, you should never take on a bigger risk than you're comfortable with. And you should have a systematic way of investing that ensures that no matter how the size of your portfolio changes, you'll continue to maintain that same risk level.

The advice we give at The Oxford Club includes a strong recommendation that our members never have more than 2% of their capital at risk in any one position. But remember, that doesn't mean that you can only invest 2% in any one position–it means you shouldn't have more than 2% at risk.

To illustrate this 2% rule, let's look at a $100,000 portfolio. I

f you follow The Oxford Club's rules for 25% trailing stops and 2% risk, the maximum you can invest in any one stock at any one time is $8,000. Here's the formula for figuring that out... [(.02 x 100,000)/.25]. Now here it is "spelled out": .02 times 100,000 = 2,000, divided by .25 = 8,000. If you decided you wanted to put less at risk–1% of your capital–our formula would be [(.01 x 100,000/.25] and your limit would be $4,000 in any one stock. The central message here is consistency: Decide on how much you want to risk... and then stick with that number no matter what. Stay with low-risk ideas... have a consistent exit strategy for the stock market... and you'll begin to make money just like the world's greatest investors.

Let Your Winners Run–"Scale" Your Way to Ultra-High Profits

As a final, bonus secret technique of the world's greatest investors–again from Dr. Tharp–I want to tell you about "scaling in" to investments. The basic reasoning behind this technique is that once you've found a winner, you absolutely don't want to sell it. Instead, you want to put more money into it...

So far we've seen exactly how your portfolio will benefit from strictly following The Oxford Club's 25% Trailing Stop Strategy. And you've seen how following position-sizing opportunities keeps your capital safe while letting you rake in the maximum amount of profits available. That's a perfect combination. It's also one that few investors get advice on from their stock brokers. In scaling in, you'll be using a similar rule to what you learned in our look at trailing stops. Only this time, instead of selling when your stock falls 25%, you'll be adding to your investment when–and every time–it rises 33%.

Now let me pause for a just moment to issue a warning... At about this time, average investors will begin to worry. That's because to them the idea of adding money to a stock that's rising is every bit as frightening as selling a stock that's falling. Once again, emotion has come into play, and it threatens to get in the way of your profits. But by this time, you should be beyond that.

You've seen how being afraid to sell a falling stock can hurt you, so you understand the negative role emotion can play in investing. What's more, you should be able to appreciate how investing more money into a rising stock can help you... ======================

SCALING UP

One of the best examples that we can use to illustrate the power of scaling in involves the French telecommunications giant, Alcatel. When we first recommended this company to members it traded at a price of $22. We rode the stock all the way up to a 108% gain before selling it on the way down when we ultimately pocketed 78%. The fact that we gave back 25% off the stock's top didn't bother us a bit. After all, every $10,000 our members invested in Alacatel had blossomed to $17,000–and this money was safe from any further erosion in the stock's price. But here's how you could have done much, much better with Alcatel. Rather than just sitting back and watching their winning positions climb, the world's best investors will "feed" their successes more money–so that there's more capital on the table to take advantage of the high profit that will be thrown off by these winning rides. And, of course, they always know how much additional capital to add because they're using the position sizing technique.

As you've seen, our advice is to not put more than 1% or 2% into any one stock market investment or 1% in subsequent scale-ins of that investment. In other words, you put 2% in to start the investment, and then if it climbs 33% for you, you add another 1%... another 33%–another 1% goes in, and so on. I'll illustrate this principle using a very simplified scenario, but I will use a 2% scale-in to emphasize the effective use of scaling in...

Let's suppose that after your initial investment in Alcatel–and for the subsequent 14 months–the size of your portfolio was such that 2% equaled $4,000. That would mean that if Alcatel had gone up 33%, you'd be in a position to feed this investment with another $4,000. As we saw, Alcatel in fact rose 108% after The Oxford Club recommended it. Which means that you would have had opportunities to do three "scale-ins" of $4,000 each. This scenario is played out in the chart above. By adding $4,000 each time this stock went up 33%, you would have maximized your profit from it during the 14 months The Oxford Club recommended it. So instead of a $10,000 investment growing to a very respectable $17,000, your total stake in Alcatel would have skyrocketed to $43,514!

The reason we recommend you wait to do the initial scale-in until your investment has risen a full 33% is that by that point you're guaranteed never to lose any money on the stock as long as you get out at the trailing stop.

Because you'll be using a 25% trailing stop, the very worst that could happen to you at this point would be for the stock to return back to the point at which you bought it–a wash, in other words. An Ideal Profit and Safety Scenario Unfolds... The secrets that Oxford Club Investment Advisory Panel member Dr. Van Tharp discovered are used by 99% of the world's most successful investors, and are now yours to apply to your own investments.

At the end of the day, these secrets–limiting your losses and maximizing your profits–seem to spring from just plain common sense.

The problem, of course, is that common sense is an extremely rare commodity in the world of investing.

Many stock market investment advisors, newsletters, mainstream media financial TV shows, and Internet "gurus" make a living out of complicating the process with their own forms of investment advice, rather than simplifying it. After all, the more complicated they make it, the more mysterious it seems. And the more mysterious it seems, the more it can play on the emotions of investors. And the more emotional investors get, the more they'll turn to these very same self-proclaimed experts for "investment advice." It's a vicious circle. The Oxford Club takes a different approach. It is our hope that you now appreciate the absolute necessity of stripping emotions out of your investment decisions. Our goal is to make investing simple for you. We believe that if you follow a common sense–but incredibly powerful–system of controlling your losses through trailing stops and feeding your winners with fresh capital, you'll find yourself pulling in the kind of profits that will build real wealth for you and your family.
