Seven Point Profits
[1] [2] [3]
Our objective is to trade every day and make a profit
What's YOURS ?? What is the point of trading if the point is not
for profit - yet we have seen so many, in fact most, individuals and
organisations trade with no clear sense of acheiving regular daily
profits. A profit of a measly 100 bucks a day on a $2000 account will,
over the course of a year compound that account up to $562,950*.
Why don't you or anyone else do this??
Because people - it's dull!!
There's no thrill about making $100 then packing up for the day is
there. But, you absolutely must understand, this IS the way to make
money. Thrill, risk, enjoyment, none play a part - this is serious
business - this is making money day in, day out.
Allow me to introduce myself - I'm Matt Sharp. I've traded for ten
years now, the first few were all about learning - making small
mistakes - I progressed until I could scrape a profit most months, but
it was touch and go. Some months still rewarded my efforts with a
nasty loss, I never could rely on the profits as they came and went. I
tried every trading system known to man, or so it seemed! They all had
this pattern of winning and losing where the best I could ever get was
70% winners. It seemed that all the 30% of losers arrived together and
psycholgically it was always really tough to keep going. I tried day
trading Fx, stocks, commodities. All with the same ordinary
results.....(c'mon, I'm being too hard on myself, most people just
lose money and pack up. I was still making a profit - just not in a
comfortable way).
Now I trade "SevenPointProfits". I find life very very easy, I make
money 4 days out of 5 and usually break-even on the fifth. I trade for
less than 90 minutes most days - then go out to play! I know for a
fact what I will "earn" next month, at last I can rely on my trading
to keep me in a comfortable lifestyle.
Let me show you how you can do it for yourself - how you can take
the minimum trading account and use that to earn yourself a
consistent, reliable monthly income. One that will allow you to quit
your job. None of this "Make $10000 this month and lose $8000 the
next" you simply can't use that as a replacement for your job - it's
too inconsistent. Now I can hear you saying, "Oh yes, but what about
the losses". OK losses do happen of course, but when your aim is to
make such a small percentage each day, THEN STOP, losses can be
overcome so that losing days are almost unheard of.
Now I will tell you what this simple trading method is.......
Firstly, forget everything you've ever learnt about trading, "the
trend is your friend", "cut losses quick and let the winners run",
"you can't pick tops and bottoms", and so on.
Let's enter a different world, where the market is NOT out to get
you, where you can be certain, and I mean CERTAIN, that you will make
a profit this week, this month, this year, and forever.
Oh yes, wouldn't that be nice !!!
Get comfy, and imagine..........
It's 1997 and a sales letter arrives in the mail. It's from a guy
called Ken Roberts, who claims he can show me how to get rich trading
"futures", what ever they were. I was curious, and looked into it for
a while. Pretty soon I was excited, I'd got information from some
books, browsed a few web sites and could see how what he was saying
could work.
I actually drove 30 miles to collect his course, I simply couldn't
wait for the mail to deliver it!
I arranged to get daily data, got a charting package, opened a
trading account, and off I went. I was a trader - or so I would have
liked to believe.
My first trade, buying then selling a Soybean call option made me
$200 profit. Easy or what?
The following few years were a mix of highs and lows, profits came
and went, I tried every imaginable trading system, I traded futures,
options, stocks, forex; I traded on an intraday basis, daily, some
trades even lasted months.
Yet nothing, absolutely nothing, ever grabbed me and said, "This is
IT", this is THE TRADING SYSTEM.
Some worked fine for a week or two, then gave back most of the
gains, some only gave signals to trade a few times a year - simply not
enough to trade as a profession. Some had 80% win/lose ratios but
combined with profit/loss ratios of 1/3. (ie. you lost 3 times what
you won - do the math - it doesn't work!).
So over the last few years I'd contented myself with just "getting
by" from trading, accepted that making 100% profit on my account in a
year, with some hefty swings during that time was the way trading had
to be.
Jump forward to the beginning of the year.
A friend had bought a new house and I was invited to his house
warming party. I'm no party animal but it would be impolite to not go.
Whilst mingling, as you do at parties, I met yet another stranger,
"What do you do?" was his second sentence, "I trade futures", "Really
- I work for xxxxxxxxx as a trader" he replied. The ensueing
conversation has changed my life. I realised quickly that this guy was
good, very good, confirmed by the Aston Martin he drove off in later.
Before I'd had a chance to become awestruck by this we'd arranged to
have lunch in the week.
A wet and windy lunchtime arrived and I sat down with Steve, eagerly
anticipating the secrets he would reveal. He worked for a large hedge
fund and ran a (for them) small speculative account trading the S
font-weight: bold;">Steve's trading was all about making a small daily
profit and compounding this over a time.
To my surprise he was quite happy to reveal everything, he seemed
to think that what he did was no more clever than cooking lunch.
"Surely everyone knows this stuff", seemed to be his atitude. He's
obviously always enjoyed a privelidged position, unlike most of us.
I got home and spent the rest of the day organising charting
packages, data, a trading platform and so on. Exactly as I had done
all those year before - the excitment was just the same. The next day
I did what he had told me he does every day
IT WORKED !!
I tried it the next day....
IT WORKED!!
It's worked every day since, for months and months. I now do this
Every Day. It's my living, it pays the bills, it gets me a new car,
gets me on holiday.
People - this does work! Look what these folk had to say......

Hi Matt,
Just had to say what a great job you guys have done for me. Thanks.
I'd been trading (and losing!) for a couple of years and had given-up
twice. Looking back I'd been a victim of the "this system will make
you rich" syndrome. Your excellent training helped me see that trading
is like any other job, just learn what you need to know, have
realistic expectations, then "just do it". As you said "feel the fear
- then do it anyway!"
