Isn't share trading risky?

If you own shares and don’t actively monitor your positions as taught in this course – that’s risky. If you’re taking gambles – trying to guess which way the market is going, trading on intuition – that’s risky.

The difference between gambling and professional trading is that the successful trader has a predetermined strategy. She has decided on predefined exit points before she even enters a trade. She makes money not by trying to guess the direction of the market, but by cutting losses short, and letting profits run, consistently over time. That way her average winning trade is much larger than her average losing trade. Even if only 50% of your trades are successful, if the average winning trade is twice the average losing trade, you will consistently make excellent returns trading the market.

You should “paper trade” first until you’re confident of making money, before risking a cent.

And then,  you decide how much risk to take, using sound capital protection principles taught in the Strategic Share Trading system course.

Aren't options risky?

Options were actually invented to reduce the risk of owning shares. Sure you can lose. But since you are paying a small premium to control a much larger value of shares, you are risking only about 10% of the amount you would normally be putting at risk buying the shares. The Strategic Share Trading system teaches you simple rules to minimise risk and cut losses short.

Knowledge is the greatest protection against risk.

Is this course suitable for someone with no prior stock market experience?

If you have no prior sharemarket experience – good! You’ll probably learn quicker because of a lack of preconceived ideas about shares and options trading. The Strategic Share Trading system course was designed with people new to trading in mind.

How much money do I need in my trading account to start trading?

With the Strategic Share Trading system you typically need only 10% of the amount of money you would normally need to trade shares. Because of the leveraged nature of options, an investment of $5,000 gives the same return as $50,000 trading shares.

I strongly recommend you don’t invest more than $10,000 until you’ve been trading for at least a year. The minimum you’ll need to trade profitably is about $3,000. If you haven’t got that don’t worry – I recommend learning to trade using “paper trading” first. By the time you’ve saved up enough money to get started you could already be an accomplished trader.

If the Strategic Share Trading system is so good, why wouldn't you keep it to yourself?

Well actually I came up with the system twenty years ago and this is the first time I’m teaching it – but that’s not out of any desire to keep it a secret.

There’s absolutely no reason to keep it a secret, it’s not like I’m in competition with other traders. The daily turnover of the ASX is over $4 billion Australian dollars. That’s daily. It’s not like the market is going to run out of money. In fact, the more people trading the market, the more liquid the market, which makes it more profitable to trade!

Philosophically, I believe we live in an abundant universe – there’s no necessity to compete with others in any negative way, there’s plenty to go around. I believe we should celebrate the success of others – it helps us create even more of our own success.

Also helping others experience prosperity makes me feel I’m doing something worthwhile with my life. If there’s a downside to trading it’s that it can be a lonely business and doesn’t involve any human contact. Helping other people gives me the warm fuzzies. 😉
