Technical Breakout Trader by Zack Armstrong

Many traders try to use technical analysis to determine optimal entry/exit points but eventually find themselves overwhelmed by all the indicators at their disposal.  Often one indicator gives you a buy signal while another gives you a sell signal creating unneeded noise in an already information overloaded space.  This leads to many traders searching for a "holy grail" system, a term often used to refer to a system that is always profitable.  Unfortunately no system is always profitable. This leads to flip flopping from strategy to strategy -- and losing hard earned money in the process.

I personally have made all the mistakes one does trying to fit technical analysis into your investment strategy over the years, and am proud to say I have found a system that works -- with proper money management techniques of course!   

Do you relate to any of the following? 

Has the old buy & hold strategy cost you hundreds of dollars waiting for supposedly great stocks to go up? 

Has valuing equities based on P/E, P/B, PEG, and Earnings multiple ratios failed you?

Tired of listening to "expert" analysts telling you a stock is a "conviction" buy only to see it plummet days later?

Want to learn how to capture gains, limit your losses, and gain confidence to enter trades on your own? 

If so, then the Technical Breakout Trader is for you! 

Here is an overview of what you get with your purchase!

Weekly watch lists - Each week you will receive 4-5 high probability trade setups with charts indicating key support and resistance levels.  Each set-up is hand picked to give the trader the greatest chance for large gains.  This gives the trader added flexibility to pick the trades they like the best and not necessarily follow the expert.

Trade alerts - Email and text alerts for confirmed breakouts with optimal entry points before they happen. This gives the trader an edge over other investors, as only Technical Breakout Trader subscribers will know optimal pullback areas for the the highest probability entry points. 

Money management techniques - Know your risk before you enter a trade!  Each trade alert comes with suggested stop losses.  Risk is always 2-7% of capital put up and never more. This ensures that you limit losses.  Stop losses are key to the system. They are a way to make sure losers don't turn into a long term investment like many of us have experienced.  We use them as our exit to take emotion out of a trade. A trade can be held for at least one day to over several months.

Ongoing trade monitoring - Each trade taken is closely monitored on multiple time-frames to spot trend reversals early and identify key support and resistance levels as time goes on.  By adjusting our stop losses upwards, we will protect capital and protect our profits when a trade moves our way.

Educational videos - Trading is a learning process. With various educational videos at your fingertips, there will always be something new to pick up. You will learn everything from the basics of technical analysis, to how to draw your own support and resistance levels, to how to screen for your own stocks.  There is something for everyone!

One-on-One communication - I will be available during most regular market hours to answer any questions about a new or ongoing trade.

I look forward to getting to know you personally and sharing my knowledge of technical analysis!

Zack Armstrong

Welcome! My name is Zack Armstrong, and I hold a degree in Finance and Economics from Michigan State University. I developed a passion for equities following the 2008 crisis, which led to my first investment in 2009. Now I am the Founder & CEO of TheSmarterInvestor.org and regularly contribute to Benzinga.com. I am also a candidate for the June 2013 CFA Level 1 examination.

Since my first investment in 2009 my strategy has transformed from mostly fundamental analysis to almost entirely technical analysis, where I found the most success. I am here to share my knowledge and passion for trading, as well as my successful strategy for trading multiple time frames.

FAQ

The recommended position size depends on the amount of capital each trader has.  For accounts with the following capital sizes:

Under $2,000 = 1 position all in.  The risk/reward for breaking this amount down into 4 different positions is not good due to commissions.  It's better to pick the best set-up and go all in with proper money management controls to protect capital.

$2,000 - $10,000 = I like to do $2,000 increments for trades up to $10,000.  This will allow the trader to disperse risk across several different trades.  So for a trader with $4,000, they will be in two trades at $2,000 each, and so on.

Over $40,000 = When you start trading large amounts like $40,000 and above, I break the trade amounts into $10,000 increments.  So a $40,000 trading account will hold 4 positions at $10,000 each.  Trading more capital is risky.  I strongly believe you should only invest what you are willing to lose as this is an inherently risky business.  Trade at your own risk and when any doubt about the position arises, DON'T TRADE.  Watch price action until you are comfortable entering a position.  

In the end, it's up to what each trader's risk profile is and what they are comfortable with.

Typically each trade risks 2-7% of the trade capital put up, depending on the trade set-up.  Stop losses are placed under the nearest support for longs, and above the nearest resistance for shorts.

Anywhere from zero positions up to 6 separate trades at once.  Sometimes trades will be cut short to free up capital for a more promisng trade.

Each trade is different.  Some trades will be exited in a matter of days, others could be held for multiple months to over a year.
