The Magical Effects of Compounding Small Daily Gains

How do you turn a $25,000 day trading account into $3.6 million in a year? By making just 2% per day! Can you settle for just 1100% per year? That takes just 1% per day! Can't imagine making more than, say, 250% in a year? Okay - that takes just 0.5% per day! If you can master the DISCIPLINE to wait for HIGH-PROBABILITY TRADES and then TAKE SMALL DAILY GAINS like these, the magic of daily compounding will take care of the rest. Here's the math...

Train online with me - Video

In our training, you watch ME trade, so you can SEE how to interpret the principles I teach you in real life. You can even follow my trades in your own account and get the same results I get, since prices don't change a lot in the couple of seconds it would take you to copy my simple trades, like "Buy 25% FAS."

Glass Steagall 2.0

Some will consider 01/21/2010 (11:39 A.M. EST) the moment the White House declared 'War on Wall Street.' Others will remember it as the day the government declared its Independence from Wall Street.

Controlling Risk and Maximizing Profit in Day Trading

I don’t know if there is any such thing as a fool-proof day-trading strategy, but if there is one, I imagine that it doesn’t make much money, or that it requires enormous resources and/or connections to inside information that are not accessible to the average investor.

Main Street vs. Wall Street

Main Street is struggling with a very weak jobs market, but Wall Street does not particularly care. It is not that Wall Street is heartless; it is just that it knows that a weakened labor force puts operating leverage back in the hands of corporate management. It means greater productivity per dollar of wages, which flows directly to the bottom line.

Earnings Kickoff

Earnings season is upon us. The companies in the S&P 500 are expected to post ‘operating’ earnings of $15.80 per share for Q4, up from $5.62 in the same quarter last year. Operating earnings do not account for one-time charges and other types of write-downs. If the figure is attained, it would bring full year earnings to just under $60, about 10% less than 2008, but 30% less than the peak posted in 2006.

To that we can add Monday +0.8% - done by 11 am
And Tuesday +1.3%

Coming 'Round the Mountain

 (click on the title above to see our chart)
 
On Friday before the close, we took a little time in the DayTraderHotline webinar to look back at recent market drops like the current one to see what happened next. I don't know that what's happened four times since August 17 will happen again here, but the point is, it would not be wise to bet against it.

Monday - All We Hope It Will Be?

 
The premarket was up as high as 2.0% this morning from Friday's close, and is currently at about 1.0%, still well above Thursday's high, which proved to be a barrier to higher prices on Friday. I suspect that the S&P will return to that level, at least, before going much higher than the open.  With the market approaching that level in the pre-market, we'll wait at see what happens there before considering a sale.

09.22.11
Thursday's Child

At this writing, at 9:10 AM, the premarket is down sharply overall, but going up sharply for the last 15 minutes. Volume is very light in the pre-market and direction there does NOT correlate in any meaningful way with what is going to happen in the regular market. If it did, that would be an extremely easy way to make money, and we know that there are none of those!

09.12.11
But Whenever Monday Comes

We will have a  delayed start to commentary and trading while we assess several events in the news. The premarket opened considerably down, but has gone up since shortly after the start of heavier pre-market trading on many exchanges at 8:00 AM. This is indicative of the kind of volatility we can expect through the morning, so we will lay low until 10:30 or 11:00.

09.06.11
Always on Tuesday
Up from the open, not a surprise here as that's just what we look for on any large gap. In this case, the open is low because of very poor performance in European and Asian markets yesterday, when the U.S. markets were closed, and in a kind of circular fear logic, those markets were down because of fear of what the U.S. markets would do after Friday's dismal performance here.
That means that continued down movement today is not to be taken for granted.
09.02.11
TGIF

As of 8:04 AM, the premarket has opened low, as we expected, and has been moving up, but again, we won't see a real reaction to the jobs numbers due out at 8:30 until about a half hour into the regular session, or about 10 AM. Because of Irene, the numbers may be low, but the ISM number yesterday and the large increase in auto sales reported yesterday should both offset this number once it is all digested. 

08.30.11
Tuesday, Tuesday

Good morning.
The pre-market is sharply down and on the basis of technical symmetry and the overbought condition we described yesterday, that is not unexpected. See the lower middle hourly SPY chart for a good look at that. I expect that we could see volatility on the level of 8/16, two weeks ago Tuesday. I will not be posting or trading today for at least the first hour while we wait for this initial market reaction to settle out.

08.18.11
Mornings at Six

Good morning.
Well, I expected today, and the coming week, to be down, but this is pretty extreme. As usual, we will not be chasing the open, especially with a huge gap that could begin to fill at any time. It may be an hour or so before we have the opportunity for any high-probability trades.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to teach and demonstrate day trading strategies that do not require deep knowledge, vast experience, expensive software, or exotic and complicated investment instruments, and which minimize the high risk that is always involved in day trading. We believe our techniques can be mastered successfully by the average frequent-trader with the minimum $25,000 account required by SEC regulations for day trading, and for whom a day trading strategy and its attending risks are appropriate.

What We Do

For a monthly ($997) subscription fee, we allow a limited number of day traders to watch Gregory Spear's Trading Desk, via a real-time webinar hookup. The only equipment needed is a computer with high-speed Internet. No software is required other than a standard Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome.
 
Subscribers watch Mr. Spear draw on his real-time charts and make day trading decisions in a real-time chat box as he discusses his current thinking and explains his rules and methods.
 
Trades are buys and sells of ETFs or simple calls or puts on ETFs. Mr. Spear has studied the trading patterns of these funds so that he has been able to make gains most days, whether the market is up or down. He'll show you how. Options are used to increase leverage and shorten time in the market. Allocation levels vary from 0% to 125%. Many days, when using options, Mr. Spear prefers to limit the investment level to 25% or 50% of capital. Allocation decisions and trade decisions are issued together, for example, as: "Buying to 10% using target option," etc.
 
You can be up and running as soon as you sign on, because you don't even need a brokerage account to learn from Mr. Spear's real-time lessons and trades. You keep your money at your current brokerage, so that you can begin trading whenever you feel comfortable.
