Keep these questions in mind as we answer the above question...
1) Would YOU be satisfied with a return over 30% annually? Many say “No because I can make so much more, but their accounts many times prove otherwise (greed/pride).
2) Would YOU be satisfied hypothetically having 10 winning trades to every 1 losing trades (with proper risk management)? Remembering 1 bad trade potentially could wipe out all profitable trades if you don't understand the risk factors and potential loss factors.
3) Would YOU be satisfied with a Profit Factor of over 25? (profit factor simply is the ratio between gross profits and gross losses. This means that a strategy that lost $100 but won $200 will have a profit factor of two. It’s essential to ensure that you have a profit factor that isn’t too low, in order to leave room for strategy degradation, which is inevitable.)
4) Would YOU be satisfied with a system or strategy that allows profits to be made regardless of overall direction of the market and market conditions?
5) Lastly, would YOU be satisfied with a system or strategy that allows drawdown % (potential loss) let’s say 10%? Many successful systems and/or strategies run anywhere from 20% - 40%. That means at any time you could potentially lose that %.
Keep all those questions in mind as we dig a bit deeper into answering "What's ahead for 2023 and what does the future look like?"
Over the next few weeks, you will most likely be bombarded with what we call “noise”. It may be wanted or unwanted. Regardless, it will get your attention. It comes in many forms and relates to all facets of our lives such as: relationships, health & weight loss, and definitely in the area of money. Today alone… I've had over 20 emails, telegram messages, Facebook posts, etc. You will witness “BLAST” marketing at its best!
People are eager for something new. It is within our nature to desire some sort of change as we head into a new year. It may be very low risk, very little change, or could be extreme depending on where you are in your journey. While we don't like risk or change, deep within us we usually come to a place in our journey to realize a change is needed. We just don't always like the options. These “touches” will reach out and grab our attention to your very core. If you are like me, they stick in my head and I think about them quite a bit. Thinking "What will I do with this?" These "touches" will normally provide just a glimmer of light and glimpse of hope for a better and brighter 2023.
Our prayer for you is simple… it is for you to truly seek and find wisdom, patience, and operate with caution without fear in whatever choices you make for your future. As we remind our traders daily... make choices with concrete confidence and not emotional hoping or wishing.
As coaches and mentors, we are asked regularly by traders and non-traders… what’s the future look like? Well… we say it often. We do not hold a crystal ball and predictions are just opinion. No one truly knows. There are individuals on both sides of this argument… future potential growth vs. continued downward pressure. Many have seen HUGE declines in their savings & retirement funds. Our friends who are senior adults are extremely concerned. Inflation continues to rise and rob all of us of the power of the funds that we do hold in our hands. Taxation is another beast that is expected to rise. There is only one thing that we can be certain of… UNCERTAINTY.
Uncertainty seems to be the one constant thing that we can all count on. However, one thing that we do know and teach… we don’t know the future, AND WE DON’T HAVE TOO! We truly believe that God has all this chaos and noise in His hands. He can handle it! We are only called to help/serve others and be good stewards of what has been given and entrusted to us. That is truly the Holy Grail of it all! There is no other “secret sauce” or “hidden secret” if we live our lives in that manner. The rest... well, it is icing on the cake. The legacy we leave behind will be far more impactful.
Now... let's turn to our attention to trading. How can we turn all of this chaos into clarity? How can we make sense of it all and build good stewardship practices? There is not just one answer to this question. Do us a favor. Open this link… Traide Masters Stats*. Keep the tab open and refer back to it. If you have multiple screens, have it open on a secondary screen. This is just a reference to help answer our main question. We will refer back to it shortly.
*This is a verified account. This is used for illustrative purposes only, and should only be used for education. No financial advice is being provided. This is one of several trading options Traide Masters makes available to our traders.
Traide Masters focuses on wealth accumulation through uncertainty. We believe our mission is to help others truly learn how to trade, teach how money really flows, provide tools that provide an edge to be successful, and provide opportunities that are simple to manage and duplicate. We do this within a live trading environment. It is not the get rich quick mentality that is found today. What is earned quickly is usually lost just as quickly.
While most are experiencing significant losses in their financial accounts and grasping for anything that might help, Traide Masters continues to teach traders how to grow in spite of all the above-mentioned hurdles. If you are trading or have been trading in the past, you will literally receive hundreds of marketing “touches” over the next few weeks about money. Many of these touches will show incredible results, promise you quick returns, automated system, signals, etc. They will most likely NOT show you key things like Profit Factor, drawdown % (potential loss), Winning vs Losing trades, and average $ win vs average$ loss. Sadly, most will not touch on the most important factor in trading… YOU! They will not understand your education level, your risk tolerance level, or your goals. They will not speak of the importance of understanding the HOW/WHY a certain system, signal, or strategy works. They just want you to jump in on a “limited” time offer and then you HOPE it works. Let’s get honest… “work” has become a word that is to be avoided.
There is no need to "hope" any longer. Check out the link. You are looking at one of our “easiest” systems to use (we have others). We have not talked about this particular system for nearly a year. Our objective was for Traide Masters to be the “testers”. We were willing to put our money at risk first prove the value of a system before our traders consider this as an option. It is NOT the holy grail of trading, but it an opportunity that may help you in 2023.
Remember our questions from above? Let's look at those questions and get answers from our system. This particular system surpasses all of those expectations, and it has now been vetted with our personal account as you can see. Monthly returns close to 6%... that is 72% annually (much higher than the 30% annually that you may have been willing to accept). Profit factor… well, way over 2!! It is currently at 415.07! That tells us that the drawdown and risk of loss is much less than even 5% (The PEAK drawdown to date is -0.2%)! Many strategies and systems run in the 20 – 30% range! Wins vs. losses… as of today, it is 408 wins vs. 12 losses. More importantly, what is the average size of the wins vs. the average size of the losses. Click through the tabs… you have access to all stats on this live account. Click on the “Risk” tab and check that out. Look it over and then ask us questions! Again, this is just one of our systems that is being used.
What’s ahead for 2023 and what does the future look like?
Well, we believe with Traide Masters that all the financial “noise” that we are presented with is just opportunity for continued / proven growth. Educating yourself, finding the right tools, having the right mindset, and knowing YOU! 2023 and your future will be what you make it to be no matter what circumstances you face. Your choice that is what is in the future.
