The formula for success

Plus a super special deal

As the end of the month draws to a close, I always like to reflect on what’s worked — so that I can do it all again next month. 

Some of my biggest winners this month have been several of these names:

  • WMT – 79% gain 
  • TGT – 231% gain
  • ROKU – 69% gain 

I always hone in on how I got there, so I can continue to hone my rinse and repeat strategies. 

It always comes down to this combo…

Setup + Strategy + Tool + Execution = Success. 

Let’s break it down.

Setup: The reason we get into a trade. It’s a high probability, moment in time, in which you have a distinct pattern that you know has a likelihood of success. Each trade should always be taken when you have a defined setup. 

Do you know what yours is?

Strategy: The options strategy selected to take specific advantage of the setup. Options strategies mature differently and behave differently under varied circumstances. Which one is the best for the distinct setup? 

Do you know which strategy should be used with your setup?

Tool: Technology to help you locate your distinct moment in time. The market’s a vast beast, with setups and strategy possibilities galore. The quicker you can identify your distinct moment in time, the better you can act on it — and make money.

What type of tools do you use to help you make money?

Execution: The completion of this process, that ends with you making a trade — and closing it to make money. To execute the trade properly, you need to have confidence in the first three pieces of this process. 

Is one of these first three pieces getting in the way of your perfect execution?

Going back to the wins…

When I look at my winners, I know they all have one thing in common — these are strong, relative strength stocks, that are the leaders in their group — the Phoenixes. As for the losers? They definitely didn’t qualify to be the best of the best. 

That’s why, on this Black Friday weekend, I wanted to give you the never before seen opportunity to get my ‘Finding Phoenix’ package (that includes all four pieces: setup, strategy, tool, and execution) that allows me to find my best trades. You can take advantage of this for a very limited time — for 30% off. 

We never do discounts like this, especially on such a popular class and method. But, I wanted to do this for all of you for this weekend only, so that you can Find Phoenix, just like me.
