Is the Market Ready to Make New Highs?

If you’ve been watching your portfolio over the last 18 – 20 months, you’ve probably noticed that for the most part, there’s been little to no gains to be had. Since the market reached a high in January of 2018, gains using the traditional approach to managing money have been hard to achieve.

That’s because the market has been taking a bit of breather, with increased volatility that has shown gains achieved one month being taken away the next month. We’ve seen drops of 5%, 15% and 20% and each time the market has only been just able to get back to the same area without going higher. And it is just coming back up to the same area again, where it may go higher, or we may see an even bigger drop from if it repeats the same pattern of the last 18 months.

One of the guiding principles we teach is that once we put our money in the market, we must become a risk manager, so we protect our money and maintain our value when the market drops and we use strategies that let us grow our account at the same time. As traders, the increase in volatility has provided many opportunities to grow our capital during this time while protecting ourselves from the downside risk.

If you are ready to learn how to protect your money as the market comes to this level again, we invite you to join us this month so you are prepared no matter what the market does here.

For over 20 years we have been teaching traders how to find setups that when traded consistently will produce the results desired. And a community of traders that support each other to stay focused on doing our job as traders well so we are ready to take advantage of trading opportunities that the markets present us. If you are ready to take control of your financial future with trading, we are ready to support you.

We’ve been helping our lifetime members understand how to use strategies they are already familiar with to protect and grow their portfolios. Our lifetime membership enables you to progress at your own pace. You can repeat any part of the weekend program as often as you choose so that you can master using technical analysis or fundamentals and each month there are additional tutorials and hands-on trainings to further enhance your skills.

Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge required to begin trading confidently combined with a professional and supportive trading environment where you can interact with other traders and staff.

If you’ve been thinking about using trading to add to your investment portfolio or supplement your income then we’d love to support you.
