stop losing trades

Individual investors simply keep doing the wrong things = why they lose.

'The individual median investor spends approximately six minutes on research per trade on traded tickers.' (SSRN 5187645)*

There are a few reasons why this is silly...

1) Individual investors tend to not know what they're actually researching for. Many do not understand the game that is being played.

2) Six minutes of research is too much time -- you need ten years + of research.

Huh? Are you bending time or something, David? How is six minutes too much but ten years also too much? Is it the drugs (again)?

No -- the bulk of your 'research' should be done by systemising your experience over years based on things that make money, so that ironically, you don't have to do research in the way that retail investors do...

Which is chuck darts at a dartboard...

While you're actually Abu Hamza with one eye and one hand.

And a twat.

That's why we made our own dashboard so we know what to look at according to our model, check the pic below.

We feed already filtered data in so the 'research' is done for us - we are trying to extract trend, we aren't trying to guess.

Sure there's a few bits after we do, but we know the top 5 stocks to look at at any one time, and can filter over various look backs.

Once a signal is provided, it's game on. Simple.

And fundamentally, this is why individual investors tend to have worse outcomes.

No process -- it's hit and hope and they don't understand what risk premium is.

We do, which is why we teach it (and can teach it, since we focus only on stocks with market cap above $10bn so there's no real capacity constraints).

So there's a simple trade.

You pay us to learn how to do this = you finally get the ability to stop chucking darts at a dartboard.

I’d written the above on social media but want to add some more.

From the same paper, they say…

Absolutely key.

There has to be a focus on what your risk is…

And a key risk statistic that no one ever really delves into is ‘why’ are you placing said trade?

What are you getting compensated for doing here?

That’s risk premium, and as we mentioned with Nike yesterday, we’re likely providing prices where people don’t really want to get involved… soon.

Understand what others won’t do and you can beat them.

All of that is in here 👇🏼
