Details About My Upcoming DVD (and How to Win a Free Copy)

UPDATE: Congrats to profitly user "Zero2Hero" for his winning submission - "Trading Tickers: the Long and Short of it"

As many of you already know, I am very excited to announce the upcoming release of my only DVD, a guide I have put together to teach my entire trading framework! Before I get into any details, I have to begin by thanking ALL of my followers over the past few years. The response I received when I started this blog was beyond any of my expectations. I was stunned by the traffic that poured into the site and the support I've received from all of you, especially during my struggles.

At this point, the one thing my DVD is lacking is a good name, so I'm going to turn to all of you for help. On my DVD profitly wall, please post your best name suggestion! Whoever provides the best suggestion will win a free copy of my DVD! This contest will run until the end of June 10, 2015, only one suggestion per person! Your help is very much appreciated!

I also must stress, THIS IS NOT a "Get rich quick" DVD! I will show you everything I have learned through my career that has helped me become consistently profitable, but that by no means guarantees success. Trading is not easy. In fact, 90% of traders fail. If you want to be a trader, you're in for a steep learning curve, quite a bit of stress, and wild emotional swings. This is NOT something to do for quick cash, and this is NOT gambling! This is for someone who wants to understand how to become a consistent trader, not someone who just wants to get rich quick. Viewing my DVD will not make you an overnight millionaire, but, hopefully, it will help guide you to becoming a part of the 10% that succeed.

From the time I became a consistently successful trader, the idea of a DVD has always been in the back of my mind. I wanted to teach my strategies, yet, I kept putting it off for a few reasons. Most importantly, I didn't want to sell ANYTHING that I wasn't 100% sure was a quality product. I knew it would take a tremendous amount of time and energy to put something together that met my standards, and until recently, I had neither of those things.

While moving to Colorado in 2014 meant waking up earlier and dealing with a 7:30 a.m. market open, it also meant that I was finished at 2:00 p.m. every day, giving me plenty of time after-hours to undertake this massive project. So, for the past six months, I have spent multiple hours per day constructing a product that I knew I could be proud of. From the most basic of concepts to advanced explanations of live trades, I have packed my DVD with all of the information I could think of that might be helpful to aspiring traders. The result is over 15 hours of content, including 35 live trades, designed to help you become a better trader. Below, I have listed the twelve chapters that will be covered:

Chapter 1 - Introduction and History
Chapter 2 - Important Beginner Basics
Chapter 3 - Basics to My Trading Strategies
Chapter 4 - Educational Services and Daily Preparation
Chapter 5 - Buying New Stock Promotions
Chapter 6 - Buying OTC Multiday Breakouts
Chapter 7 - OTC Short Setups
Chapter 8 - Buying Major Daily Breakouts
Chapter 9 - Shorting Lower Highs into Spikes
Chapter 10 - Shorting into Daily Resistance
Chapter 11 - Shorting Overextended Gap Downs
Chapter 12 - Shorting into Bounces

While the first four chapters lay the groundwork for everything that goes into my preparation before I even make a trade, the last eight chapters are where I dive into the specific strategies I use daily. Each chapter teaches a different setup that I play, including live trade examples of each strategy! You will see my entries, my exits, my successes, and my failures. But, most importantly, you will see the core strategies that allow me to be consistently profitable.

I am eagerly anticipating the release of this DVD and look forward to your feedback! I hope you will all find it useful and enjoy it very much!

Quick Recap of my PBMD Debacle

Blog posts about large losses are usually the best ones to learn from, so it's a good thing for all of you that I have another to share!

From the time I took a loss on LAKE, as well as a large NDRM loss early in 2015, I've been very good about avoiding the frontside of large runners. I was letting stocks spike, exhaust themselves, and THEN I would strike. This spring, VLTC was one of the most ridiculous short squeezes we've seen in quite a while, and I managed not to twist myself badly on that one at all! I was incredibly proud of myself.

Then, in the last couple of weeks, my habits began to change again for the worse. I had an early short on VGGL that I chose to get stubborn with, but my stubbornness was rewarded as I came away with a nice gain instead of the loss I deserved (I was down $40k at one point.) I can't remember the other example, but I know that I was stubborn on another and was rewarded with a nice win. Point being, I fell back into bad habits, and those bad habits were reinforced, unfortunately.

The other factor that set the stage for my recent loss was boredom. I've been on a very nice run the last six weeks, finally feeling back in my groove. This week started out SLOW. I spent most of each day staring at the screen looking for plays, and I could find nothing major that I liked. So, naturally, I became impatient. I tried to manufacture my own plays. This is where my problems started on PBMD.

Above is the daily chart for PBMD. Most of this move occurred on a straight up spike into close on good news. The volume was nothing special. I believed I saw resistance on the daily chart in the 1.90s, so I started in short 21,000 shares at a 1.67 average. I figured this would be like so many other low-volume runners I'd seen recently and gap down the next morning. This is where I broke my first rule, not to short the frontside of a move, ESPECIALLY day 1. I was gambling that the gap would go in my favor, and if it gapped up, I figured that I could just add a little playing off of the 1.90 area.

Unfortunately, it never occurred to me that PBMD might gap up HUGE. Above, you can see the PBMD chart after hours Tuesday and premarket Wednesday. I was watching PBMD after hours spike into the 2s, and knew I was in trouble. My position was at Centerpoint. Unfortunately, Centerpoint does not allow GTC orders. So I was unable to cover premarket Wednesday into the large dip because I couldn't have an order sitting there. I actually did try, but as I expected, the order was cancelled. THIS IS 100% MY FAULT, I KNEW THIS GOING IN. I just didn't care. I still had the nonchalant, "I can always average up if I don't get covered" attitude. 

As I watched PBMD gap up premarket and then open, I could see that I wasn't going to get my pullback for break even. So I decided to dig in my heels and fight. I was going to add big into spikes and then cover up into pullbacks to let myself out. If I was early on my adds, I would simply cut the losses on key high of day breaks. Through managing my position this way, I was sure I'd come out okay. After all, how high could it possibly go? It was already up from the $0.50 area!

Above is the first hour-and-a-half of market action on PBMD. Volume was absolutely massive now, so adding size wasn't difficult at all. Around 10:06, I added 40,000 shares at about $2.70, a bit early. The $2.95 high of day rejected though, so I was happy to hold on to my adds. As I watched PBMD fade back and fight in the mid $2s, I could see that there was a lot of support. It even briefly cracked the $2.60 area, yet no large breakdown occurred as I expected. I covered about 29,000 of my adds in the mid 2.60s before the next large perk up. To my dismay, the high of day $2.95 broke, as well as $3.00. I didn't want to take off the rest of my adds for a loss though! So I decided to dig in my heels again. I now was riding 32,000 shares from just over a $2.00 average. My unrealized loss was getting ugly.

I managed to sit on my hands until the perk and fail through $4, around 11:40 a.m. After the low $4s rejected, I once again tried adding large size into a lower high. I believe I brought my total size up to about 80,000 shares at this point. The $4.08 high didn't hold for long, though, and I was forced to cut my adds. Unfortunately, I made ANOTHER mistake here, once again only cutting partial size. I now had over 50,000 shares as PBMD continued to rip higher.

PBMD was quickly through $5 before I knew what had happened, and my unrealized loss was ballooning. After topping out at $5.48 and having a hard pullback under $5.00, I decided to try one more time into the rebound. I added large once again, risking off of the $5.50 area. Once again, PBMD ripped to new highs. At this point, I was mentally done. I cut everything into the strength, quite poorly, as I didn't even get out at $5.50. My covers were closer to the $5.80 area.

When all was said and done, I had a $188,000 loss on PBMD. I managed to recover a little bit of those losses before close, but below, you can see the end-of-day damage:

I actually had quite a few nice short entries into pops over $6.00 the last few hours of the day, but I fell into a homerun mentality and wouldn't pay myself into dips! I had a chance to minimize the damage, but I failed.

To recap, here are the mistakes I made:

1. Shorted on Day 1 of a runner into close
2. Decided to average up and fight rather than cut the loss after large gap up
3. Ignored massive volume
4. Made assumptions about how high it could or couldn't go
5. Refused to cut entire losses on adds that didn't work
6. Went for the "Homerun" and revenge on late day trades

Amazingly, I feel totally okay mentally after this loss. I'm more annoyed with my poor discipline than anything else. But I'm super excited to attack PBMD again going forward when the trend is finally on my side!

Stubbornness KILLS. I really hope you don't have to learn that lesson the hard way multiple times like I did. For all of the times it works out in your favor, the PBMDs, LAKEs, NDRMs, VLTCs, will wipe those gains out AND THEN SOME. Stay safe out there. Good luck the rest of the way with this ticker!!!

A Basic Example of Spreadsheet Building

In my 2014 Vegas presentation, one topic I covered was how I use spreadsheets to track specific setups and try to find a statistical edge. There seemed to be a lot of interest in this process, so I'm going to go through an example of building a spreadsheet. As my example, I'll use tracking afternoon breakouts on listed stocks, but keep in mind you can do this for any setup you want to track. One important thing to note is that differing market conditions can definitely affect how different setups work. This example will use a VERY small sample size, which I would not consider statistically significant. So the more data you have, the better.

Part 1: What to Track?

The first step in this whole process is figuring out the setup you want to track and any criteria that may go along with it. What area do you want to focus on? Do you already have an idea of some set "Rules" that you may have for this setup? Or are you just starting fresh and seeing what you can discover?

We will be tracking afternoon breakouts on listed stocks. Obviously, there are many stocks in the market that have afternoon breakouts every day. I choose some very specific criteria to help narrow the scope and, hopefully, focus me in on the best opportunities. Here are the criteria that matter to me:

• % Change >= 10%
• Reasoning: I want to buy afternoon breakouts for stocks that are already up STRONGLY on the day. Also, if the stock is up 10%+ already, that means there is volatility. I'm not interested in stocks that will break out and only move a couple percent at most because they have no intraday range
• Method: I use a market scanner to find stocks that meet this criteria

• Well above-average trading volume
• Reasoning: I want a stock that is clearly drawing more interest than usual
• Method: Either a scanner filter, or I just look at the daily volume on a one-year chart to get an idea of how today compares

• At least one hour of consolidation from previous high
• Reasoning: The stock needs time to set up for the next leg up
• Method: I look at intraday charts to determine this; there isn't a scanner filter that I know of

• Breakout after 2:30 EST
• Reasoning: These are "afternoon" breakouts after all, and in my experience, later afternoon is more reliable
• Method: Look at a clock

• No Key Resistance Levels Close Overhead
• Reasoning: I don't want to buy an afternoon breakout if there's a major resistance level nearby that could stuff it
• Method: Look at a daily chart - see if there are any significant overhead levels nearby

It's very important to note that just because the above criteria are what I use, that doesn't mean it's the "right" way. You could have different ideas of what you're looking for, and you can adjust your criteria to fit with your goals. For example, maybe you want to track breakouts after 1:00 EST. That's absolutely fine! Track what is right for YOU from setup to setup; you can always adjust as you go. That being said, I don't recommend using hindsight to "data-mine" and make the results look good. Forward tracking is the best way to see if a setup is working, not adding/removing criteria from previous data to find what was successful in hindsight.

Part 2: Tracking Results

We now know what the criteria are for a stock to make our "Afternoon Breakout" list. So the next question we have to ask ourselves is, what are the results? Did the breakout succeed or fail? What factors determine this? Well, let's think about what would matter to us if we were in the trade. Here are some results that I DEFINITELY would want to track:

• After the breakout occurred, what was the low?
• Reasoning: I want to get an idea of how often the stock dips below the breakout point and how severe that dip might be

• After the breakout occurred, what was the high?
• Reasoning: I want to know how far the stock ran after the breakout, which should have been an important catalyst.

• Where did the stock close?
• Reasoning: I want to know how often these close ABOVE breakout levels.

• Where did the stock open the next morning?
• Reasoning: I want to know if the stock gapped up or down. How often and how strong these tend to gap up will influence my decision as to whether I want to hold overnight or not

• What were other key price points the following day?
• Reasoning: Next day highs and lows will help give me an idea of how well afternoon breakouts run into the next day

Below is an image of what your tracking page might look like:

Part 3: Putting it All Together

For the sake of this example, I'm going to use some old data to fill in the spreadsheet and give you an idea of how everything comes together. First, here is an image with only the basic data filled in, the information that you would manually input at the end of the day based off of the chart:

Now this is where this post gets a bit tricky. I could get into all of the formulas I use, but I don't want to turn this into a lesson on Excel. I think the best solution is to post a link to this spreadsheet so you can see for yourselves how the rest of the sheet fills out and the formulas I use to gather specific data. Feel free to ask questions in the comments section if something is unclear and I'll do my best to address it. Here is the link to view my sample spreadsheet.

A New Promoter With Possible Ties to "Awesome Penny Stocks"

Ever since I actively began trading stock promotions on the OTC market, I have made it my mission to know which promoters are worth following. In my early days of trading, there were plenty to choose from - Awesome Penny Stocks, Pennypic, Best Damn Penny Stocks, Stock Market Authority, and Bull Exchange leading the way. Unfortunately, within the last two years many of these promoters have died out, leaving us with Stock Tips as the only promoter that could generate volume and move stocks. Despite the dying OTC market, I've continued to track promoters hoping that a new one would surface and make things a bit more active again. While there is still a long way to go until I'd consider this promoter "Effective," I believe I've found a group worth monitoring as they could very well be connected to some former "Awesome Penny Stocks" promoters.

One of the methods I use to find promoters is simple enough - I use various search engines and input keywords such as "Hot Penny Stocks" to see which promoters are spending money on advertising their brand. Below is an image of a Google search. Mote the ads at the top and on the side of the page:

Every time I see a new website advertising, I sign up to it in a throw-away email account. That way, if my stock scanner ever finds an inexplicably active OTC stock, I can simply search my email to see if one of these promoters is sending out emails on it. Even better, I can see which sites are emailing on the same ticker to figure out which sites may be connected.

Around the end of August, I saw the first of a few unfamiliar websites starting to advertise. As usual, I signed up to the sites and simply waited for the emails to start arriving. Today, I received the first pick from many of these sites, GLRKF. Through a combination of searching my email, and running reverse IP domain checks (another good way to find connected websites), I compiled the following list of websites that I believe to be the same promoter behind GLRKF:

finestpennystocks.com
smartstockchoices.com
thebestofthemarket.com
stocksthatsoar.com
smartstockwinners.com
mysoaringpennystocks.com
bestamericanstocks.com
stocktipmagazine.com
elitepennystock.com
elitespennystock.com
wallstmagazine.com
qualitypennystocks.com
pennystockrepublic.com
stockstrategysecrets.com
equitiesthatsoar.com
poisedtosoar.com

So on to the question that I'm sure many of you are asking - why do I think these websites have ties to Awesome Penny Stocks? Well, here are a few factors:

• Their aggressive advertising of some of these websites reminds me of the way some APS sites used to advertise.

• GLRKF was promoted back in June by APS-connected website pennystocks.com (now offline)

• qualitypennystocks.com is a domain that used to be connected to APS (Although this could be coincidence as ownership could have changed hands.)

• elitepennystock.com started emailing about GLRKF on 10/27/2014. They spammed every single one of my email addresses that I had registered to APS sites, meaning they likely obtained their mailing list from an old APS list. 

• pennystocks.de just started promoting GLRKF last week on the German market. For those of you who are not familiar with this site, it is an old APS site that pumped some of their former picks such as TAGG, SWVI, and others to the German markets. So it is very likely that whoever controls pennystocks.de is also involved with these new websites.

So does this mean that Awesome Penny Stocks is back??? Not so fast. Even if these websites are connected, that doesn't necessarily mean that we can expect promotions even close to comparable to what Awesome Penny Stocks was capable of in their prime. By the time they retired and took (most of) their remaining sites offline, they were already a shell of their former selves. Here is a great article on Promotion Stock Secrets about the end of Awesome Penny Stocks, and it's extremely unlikely that any of the masterminds behind the original site are still involved due to their various legal troubles. 

The question becomes who took over, and how effective can they be? Just as Stock Tips became stronger with each of their picks (until the PGFY halt), these new websites have the opportunity to build their brand and do the same thing. I, for one, will not be trading GLRKF or any of their future picks until they have proven themselves first. Currently, GLRKF volume is pathetic and barely tradeable anyway, which makes sense since few people would want to buy a stock being pushed by a new and unknown promoter. 

If GLRKF can be a multiday success and trade decent volume, we may see increased interest in the next pick from this group. If they put out several duds in a row, it's unlikely that this promoter amounts to much, at least in the near future. Whether or not we have a new major promoter, only time will tell.

Lessons From My $290,000 $LAKE Loss

I realize I'm getting a bit behind on blog posts, and I know I still owe many of you a breakdown of how I made the spreadsheets that I mentioned in my Vegas presentation this year! However, after an unplanned wild two weeks of trading that took up most of my time and energy, I decided that a post about my losses was a much higher priority.

Before we get into some of the specific mistakes I made with LAKE, we need to examine the underlying problem. This underlying problem was present in my trading all summer, ever since I started transitioning over to listed stocks. What was this problem? My unwillingness to cut losses when I shorted momentum runners too early. Just take a look at these two tweets of mine from July:

As far back as July, I knew that I was playing with fire. I even went so far as to predict that my stubbornness would badly burn me eventually. Yet despite knowing this, I refused to make a change. I'm not sure whether it was due to pride, fear of exiting at the top of a spike, or perhaps just the thrill of turning a loser into a winner. Whatever it was, the problem only got worse. Here are a couple of trades from my profitly that don't look too bad on paper, but there was far more to the story:

While on paper this looks like a solid GPRO gain, the reality is that at one point I was down over $50,000 on the trade. 

Similar to GPRO, this RADA loss doesn't look like anything too unusual. However, the reality is that at one point I was down over $90,000 on this trade.

These are just two examples, but I know there were far more uncomfortable situations that I held through. In fact, RADA might have been one of the only ones that didn't turn out to be a profit for me. While in the back of my mind I kept thinking, "Eventually this won't work out," my bad habit kept being rewarded with narrow escapes and sometimes even solid profits. I knew my trading style was broken, but the results never showed it. In fact, I was even rewarded with my most profitable trading month ever in September! I continued to play larger and larger as the gains poured in, refusing to address the underlying issue. Then LAKE came along, and the wheels came off. 

My LAKE trade started off well enough; I had shorted 10,000 shares at about a $9.90 average, and I was pleased with the price action. It appeared to be fading, and I believed I would be able to cover in the low $9s or high $8s. Below, you can see the complete intraday chart:

As I was watching LAKE attempt to crack the low of the day, I was feeling VERY good about my short. I was already up over $3000; it was just a question of when to take profits. Then, a press release came out. I don't remember the specifics. All I remember is that very quickly my $3000+ gain was back to break-even. This upset me - I wanted those profits! I also didn't want to cover into the top of a spike, I was hoping that the spike would quickly top out and we'd get back to the weak price action that I had just seen. However, as the day wore on, it became clear that LAKE was not going to slow down. My one-time profitable position was now down badly, so I figured I'd just go for a ride, like I had so many times before the last few months. I could always average up, and how bad could it get? At the close of the day, I was down roughly $16,000 unrealized. 

The next morning LAKE was gapping up, and although I was annoyed, I welcomed the chance to add more size higher and get my average up. I knew I had gotten stubborn with my original position. When adding to a loser, I always tell myself not to get stubborn with the adds too. For whatever reason, I failed to heed my own advice in this case. 30 minutes into the day, I was already trying to average up into the spike to $13. There was a brief pullback, but then the stock ripped right back. I now had 20,000 shares from an $11.50ish average, and I failed to downsize when my mid-$13s risk level broke:

At this point, I was getting uncomfortable; but I still had room to add, and I was going to use it! I just had to be more careful. LAKE started to look heavy to me as the $16 area topped, so I threw in another add. This time, I believe it was roughly 20,000 shares in the high $15s, bringing my total position to 40,000 shares. LAKE tested $15 a few times, and I kept waiting and praying for it to break down, yet the snap never came. After holding $15 for a second time, LAKE ripped through the $16 resistance area, which I AGAIN failed to cover into. Suddenly, the stock was over $18, and I was sitting on my worst unrealized loss ever. 

A couple of hours of consolidation later, and I still had all my shares. LAKE had pulled back to $16, but it had failed to break down any further. I could have downsized into this pullback, but I remained stubborn. I wanted a bigger move so that my damage would be less! I was thinking about my money, not about what the chart was telling me. When LAKE perked back through $17, that's when I began to get scared. I realized how out of control the loss could get if I stayed stubborn and LAKE kept ripping into the afternoon. So I took off all my adds into the strength, somewhere around $18. Once the adds were covered, the damage JUST from the adds was roughly $100,000. I was left sitting with my 10,000 shares from $9.90, which was still down another unrealized $80,000. I had opened myself up to losses I had never experienced before because of the massive size I forced myself to play to try to fix a bad situation.

While financially this wasn't crippling to my account, it was mentally disastrous for me. Taking the size off did allow me to attack again the next morning, and I was bound and determined to NAIL it with size to make back my losses, and then some:

I actually had a decent short right out of the gate, 25,000 shares at $20.50. Within 30 minutes, I was up well over $50,000 unrealized. But it wasn't good enough. I didn't lock these gains in, rather, sitting on my short all day trying to mentally will it into breaking down. The snap never came, and my one-time $50,000+ unrealized profit turned into less than a $10,000 gain by the time I locked it in. The next day, I tried again: 

All morning I fought the stock with large positions, making emotional shorts into weakness and covers into strength. I probably was playing 20,000-30,000 share positions at a time, all the while still holding my original 10,000 shares from $9.90. Mentally, I was toast. I had gotten so far away from my typical trading that what I was doing now was hardly recognizable. The results showed that, I tacked on an additional $75,000+ in losses. The one silver lining in all of this was that I cut ALL of my losses once LAKE began to break out past $22.50ish. Had I held through this spike, my losses would have probably doubled. However, the damage was done. My $9.90 position became a realized $120,000 loss. 

The next day, LAKE finally had a meaningful pullback. But at this point I was so mentally defeated and exhausted, I think I only played 5000 shares and made a couple dollars per share on the trade. The end result of all of my LAKE trading came out to $290,000 in damage:

For all of the times my stubborn trades had worked out, LAKE gave all those profits back, and then some. The amazing thing about trading is that you can be right (or get lucky) 99 times out of 100, but it only takes that one time to wipe you out. Staying stubborn in losses is the easiest way to open yourself up to a HUGE level of risk, and I must force myself into discipline to make sure this NEVER happens again. Protecting your account is far more important that avoiding a small loss for the sake of your pride.

My stubbornness affected me elsewhere too. I was trading size on other positions, in setups I normally wouldn't even play. I lost just under $40,000 on an impulsive SIMH long (which I failed to cut the loss quickly on), and after making back some of my losses on a well-timed short on VSR, I gave back all of the gains on yet another stubborn loss on IBIO. 

October will go down in the books as my first losing month since I started trading full time, and I FULLY deserve it. While I could stick around and battle the next two weeks, I must not lose sight of the big picture. 2014 has been an INCREDIBLE year for me so far, and even after this month of losses I am still up over one million dollars for the year. To push for a break-even or better month when I know I'm not mentally right would do nothing more than put more of those gains in jeopardy, and I refuse to do that. So I will take a much needed break from trading, my first vacation in quite awhile, and I will come back refreshed in November for a fresh start! 

My 2014 and 2013 Vegas Presentation Slides

Let me start by thanking everyone who made it out to Vegas for the stock conferences, both this year and last. I can't tell you all how great it is to meet people face to face, and how energized I feel when I leave Vegas every year after meeting so many passionate traders! It really makes me feel fortunate to be a part of such a great trading community, and I hope you all took a lot away from the experience.

I had a few people asking if I could post my presentation from this year, so here it is! Just follow the link and you can see all of my slides. I'm also going to put up a link for my 2013 presentation, as I feel there's a ton of great content in there to learn from as well. I hope you guys enjoy, and thanks again for your dedication and for all of the positive feedback I've received!
