How to get more out of your investor meetings for the same amount of work!

November 22, 2022 by OptionsAndTraders

Hi Founders,

A couple of weeks ago, one of my mentees was struggling with getting a response from investors.

“It seemed like they really liked what we are doing, but at the end of the call, they told me that we were not sure about the deal.”

“And what did you say?” I asked.

“Well, I told them to trust me. I really know this space, and I spent 1 year building this product. I am an expert with 10 years of experience in this industry.”

“Okay, so did you find yourself justifying yourself to them?”

“Yes … I need the money.”

“Okay, do this next time. Say this, “I am curious, what kind of deal are you expecting to find?” This will give you some real insight in what they want.”

Why does this work?

It’s simple, it gets straight to the point.

Investors don’t want to be convinced; they are just too nice to say no.

By asking them questions and digging deeper, you can understand their mindset and identify what they invest in.

Also, this makes them feel like you understand what they want.

It shows them that you care about what they think, and you aren’t just after their money.

Investors DON’T INVEST because they understand your product.

Investors INVEST because they feel like you understand them.

So, you don’t need to elaborate on how great your startup is.

You just ask questions and use empathy.

Once they know that you understand them, they will trust you.

That’s how you increase your potential for closing a deal.

If you found this helpful and want to learn more about an investor sales funnel.

How One Simple Indicator Will Make Buy Low Sell High So Easy A Monkey Can Do It!

June 6, 2020 by OptionsAndTraders

Today, I am going to explain how one simple indicator can help you day trade super easily!

I use this indicator to see what the day traders are doing to help me time my trades for maximum profit. The simple indicator is called the VWAP!

I used this indicator to hit a 200% day trade winner on June 3. This was day 24 of the live stream. I went in with $500, and walked away with $1000 on the stock ticker SPCE.

The beginning of the day entry video is found here.

The close of the day is found here.

The concept is simple:

VWAP stands for the Volume Weighted Average Price.

This indicator indicates what the average price of most of the volume of the stock is bought at.

You essentially want to buy lower than the average, because it is “Cheap” and sell when the price goes higher than the average (Overpriced).

How This One Indicator Can Give You an Edge and Simplify Your Trading Game!

May 17, 2020 by OptionsAndTraders

Good Afternoon,

I want to talk to you guys about this awesome indicator that I started using. It is really helping me seal the deal when I trade options on the stock market.

The indicator I am talking about is called the TTM_Squeeze.

The TTM_Squeeze is the trailing twelve months squeeze indicator.

It uses Bollinger Bands and Keltner’s Channels.

I don’t want to go into details about how the Bollinger Bands and Keltner’s Channels work, because you really don’t need to know that much detail to understand the mechanics of this indicator.

There are 3 things you need to know to understand how the TTM_Squeeze works.

The first thing you need to know is the buying signal, this is indicated by blue bars. In this phase, the stock is being bought more than it is being sold.

There are two types of blue bars: cyan colored bars and dark blue colored bars.

The cyan colored light blue bar indicates the stock is heavily being bought. The stock price should be rising very fast in this phase.

The dark blue colored bars means that the buying is starting to slow down a bit. The stock price will slowly rise in this phase. It is often a sign that the reversal is about to happen, and there will be a sell off soon.

The second thing is the selling signal. This is the opposite of the buying signal. More selling is happening than buying and the stock price should be dropping.

There are two colors for this indicator: red colored bars and yellow colored bars.

The red colored bars indicate the stock is heavily being sold. This should tank the stock price.

The yellow colored bars indicate that the stock selling is slowing down. The stock price won’t be dropping as fast. This is often a sign that the reversal is about to happen, and there stock will be bought back up soon.

The third thing you need to know is the height of the bars. When you see the blue bars with a taller height, the intensity of the buying is a lot higher. Taller red and yellow bars means that the intensity of the selling is a lot higher.

The opposite occurs when the height of the bars is short. When you see short blue bars, the intensity of the buying is a lot lower. When you see short red and yellow bars, the intensity of the selling is a lot lower.

Sometimes there is a pause in between the different color bars. This results in consecutive red dots. The red dots indicates a pause in the stock price. This is a period of consolidation. In other words, the buying and selling phases are in equilibrium.

Depending on news catalysts, the relative momentum index, and buying patterns, you can use this pause period to predict if the stock is going to continue going up or continue going down.

As long as the SPY is going up, the pause period usually transitions into another buying phase. In most cases, the stock should continue going up.

It is the opposite if the SPY is going down, the pause period usually transitions into another selling phase. In most cases, the stock usually begins to crash.

Take a look at the colored bars on the chart below.

You will see how the different colored bars follows the direction of the stock price.

The Ultimate Battle Tested Strategy to Win Against a Market Full of Uncertainty Made Simple and Easy

April 25, 2020 by OptionsAndTraders

Hey guys, today is April 25th, 2020!

I have been collecting data, and conducting my own market research on the stock market for the past 3 weeks.

There is a lot of uncertainty regarding the direction of the stock market, and that seems to be an obstacle for a lot of traders. I am going to present my ultimate battle tested strategy in this article.

This strategy is the absolute conclusion of my experience within the past 3 weeks. I have been testing these strategies with real money and paper trading. I have conducted about 100 trades in the past 3 weeks. As an experienced trader, I have absolute confidence that these conclusions will hold true, and I will continually test them in the weeks to come.

A Chinese general who helped conquer the Qing Dynasty said one thing that I will always keep in my mind,

” If your battle strategy has worked in the past and it is currently failing, it doesn’t mean that your battle strategy doesn’t work. It means that the timing and execution of your strategy needs a slight alteration”

Let’s dive in.

There are two things you want to view before beginning your trading day. I highly suggest that you view them prior to the opening bell. These two things are the VXX Barclays iPath of volatility, and the SPY SPDRs ETF S&P500. The tickers are simply VXX and SPY.

The VXX should start declining as the SPY is increasing. The opposite holds true if the SPY is decreasing.

Let’s take a look at these two charts:

Source: thinkorswim
Source: thinkorswim

Based on all the trading elements depicted in my videos, you can see that as one goes down, the other goes up. This holds true for all of the trading elements.

This is a very important concept to know like the back of your hand.

If you are trading a S&P 500 stock, for the most part, it should be following the trend of the SPY. If the SPY is going up, that ticker should be going up. Make sure that the VXX is going down.

If there is uncertainty in the market, you can easily identify this by seeing if the VXX is going up or down and the SPY is going sideways.

This is also true if the SPY is going up or down, and the VXX is going sideways.

By understanding the gravitational theory that I have presented in my previous articles, you can see that on Friday 4/24/20, the VXX yellow and purple lines have crossed through the gravitational pink line, and they are heading downwards. This is a heavy indication that the SPY will make a move upwards.

As you can see on the same date, the SPY has made a heavy bounce above the gravitational pink line. (This is the OPPOSITE reaction).

This concept is very important when deciding whether to buy options calls or puts on a stock.

How does this help you? It’s quite simple.

Buy calls when the SPY is going up and the VXX is going down. Buy puts when the SPY is going down and the VXX is going up.

I am going to identify some special case scenarios that you need to watch out for.

First, let me identify two types of days on the stock market.

Red days and Green days.

I use finviz to clearly see, within 1 second, what type of day it is.

Red means the overall market is crashing. Green means the overall market is going up.

Take a look at these two pictures:

Source: finviz RED DAY
Source: finviz GREEN DAY

These two pictures clearly identify how the day is going.

I am going to explain some simple psychology concepts based on the type of day the market is having.

First know this, the media is controlled by large banks and huge institutional funds. They are the “game master” they can pump any type of news into the world to force the market to go a specific way which will ALWAYS be in their favor for maximizing profit.

If you open finviz and you see a red day. The market is crashing, most likely due to bad news or some type of panic about the Coronavirus and economy.

Following bad news, this next scenario holds true about 90% of the time.

Day 1, the market crashes. Day 2, people who didn’t have their stop losses popped begin to panic as they see their portfolios lose money. These people “Guh” and begin selling, and this causes the domino effect to crash the economy out of fear.

By understanding the psychology of these traders, you can do 3 things.

  1. If you purchased a call that is going upwards against the market trend, take the day trade.
  2. Buy puts on day 1 of the crash, because day 2 will be another crash.
  3. Wait till day 2 and buy calls, because the market will recover as profits become maximized.

If you open finviz and you see a green day. The market is being pumped up, this is most likely due to the institutions picking up cheap stocks and drastically limiting the supply which increases the demand.

Following a green day, this next scenario holds true about 90% of the time.

Day 1, the market goes up. Day 2, people see that the market is going up and they begin to buy in. Day 3, the market goes up again as the domino effect occurs (Scenario A).

Day 3 also has another scenario (Scenario B). The market went up really fast after day 2, and people begin to lock in their profits and they start selling.

By understanding the psychology of these traders, you can do 3 things.

  1. Purchase a call on day 1 and swing trade it the next day.
  2. Purchase a call on day 2 and day trade it.
  3. Purchase a put at the end of day 2 or 3.

Make sure to always check the VXX and SPY with respect to each trading day, because that will give you an edge in knowing exactly if the green day is going to follow scenario A or B.

The Key to Fast Tracking Your Wealth by Simplifying Your Mindset

April 24, 2020 by OptionsAndTraders

I hope you guys are doing well today.

I just got off the phone with my mentor and I couldn’t wait to share this with you guys!

Are you ready?

This is one of the greatest keys to unlocking your wealth mindset.

I want you to imagine yourself becoming a 6 digit survivor. I want you to imagine making that $100,000 a year income.

Think about it for a second . . .

Now think about how much your life would change if you could hit that goal.

It may seem like a lot to some people, it may not for others, but this goal is realistically possible for most people.

Now $100,000 may seem like a lot of money. It may seem impossible for most people to reach, but lets simplify that goal.

Let’s begin

Let’s take $100,000 and divide that by 50 weeks. That equals $2000 a week. Now take $2000 and divide it by 5 days. That equals $400. So if you want to make $100,000 a year, all you have to do is make $400 a day or $2000 a week.

See how much simpler that is? $400 a day seems a lot easier to do than $100,000 in a year.

If your goal is to make $50,000 a year, take half of that. Only $200 a day.

If an average person can manage to make $120 a day with their day job, then they only need to make an additional $280 a day with a side hustle to make $400 a day.

In other words, if they make about $600 a week, then they only need to make $1400 more a week.

If you make $600 a week and your goal is to make $50,000 a year, that is only another $400 a week that you need to make from a side hustle or $80 more a day.

Heck, even a simple $100 more a week can change someone’s life, right?

My side hustle is trading options, and that’s what I am here to teach you guys. If you have been keeping up with the live stream, you would have seen that every single one of my day trades were flawless on timing. All the day trades yielded a minimum of a 40% win. That is a $400 profit for every $1000 traded.

The key here isn’t the dollar value. The key is learning the skill, because the dollar value will compound over and over again. Pretty soon, you will be doing less work, and making more money by applying the same simple skill. (You can learn the skill with the quick video lessons found here.

I’ll give you an example. Let’s say you trade a $2000 position with a 40% profit. With two trades in a week, you would make $1600, or $800 per trade in winnings!

Now, if you have seen the live stream, it takes me about 5 minutes to scan multiple charts. I can make a trade plan in about 5 minutes of analyzing a chart with a particular set up. Within 1 to 2 hours (set up a text alert on the chart to alert the stock price of a predicted exit [automation]) I can check the chart again and close the trade in another 5 minutes.

You see where I am getting at? With 15 minutes of “work” I can make a trade that yields $800 with a $2000 position. Talk about productivity. I am getting more results with less time.

As you get better at doing these types of trades, they get easier. Also, as you reach the $25,000 mark declared by the SEC, you will be able to make unlimited day trades.

And trust me, I see TONS of these perfect set ups on a daily basis for more than 10 possible day trades every single day.

Believe me, with more than 660,000 stock tickers, 10 trade set ups is a drop of water in a lake.

So again, how do I help you when you have a small portfolio?

Let’s reiterate the goal.

The challenge is to turn a small portfolio account into a large portfolio account, and make it easy for other people to understand. If I strictly wanted money, I could make 2 – 3 day trades a week and consistently compound the account.

However, I want to be able to trade everyday in this uncertain market so that I can have enough data to make it easy for you guys to master the art of swing trading and day trading options.

Hence, with the SEC limit of 3 day trades a week, I struggled for the first 2 weeks of trading trying to learn the swing trade pattern of the market.

However, I have been putting together a document with all the notes, techniques, and skills that I have learned during the past two weeks. ( This is a once in a decade period for me to learn how to trade in an uncertain market after a large pandemic. I have traded and won consistently in a bull and bear market, but this type of market is new to me.)

I am going to release a special report this weekend which lays out the ultimate plan to consistently win during this uncertain market, so stay tuned for the next report!
