The headlines do NOT control your accounts

Hey there,

Every month, practically every week, it's the same story. I hear the same questions from traders just like you:

"What effect will the CPI number have on the markets?"

"Am I actually safe to trade during earnings?"

"Do you think the Fed will raise rates again?"

Stop. Asking. These. Questions!

Look, I completely understand why you think these are the right questions to ask — it's because you've been taught that the headlines have control over your accounts!

So if you believe you need to lose sleep at night wondering what the CPI number will be or what Chairman Powell might do next, listen carefully: It's NOT your fault!

But it's well past time that you stop letting the gremlins that run Wall Street have too much power over you.

And I want to show you how to put an end to it as soon as one hour from now.

See, there are strategies out there that don't rely on big swings in stock prices to make money. In fact, I've built my career by showing people how to use modest investing accounts to target cash week in, week out, regardless of what the market has been doing.

And it's all possible using a straightforward 2-step trade.

Don't believe me? Let's talk through what would have happened if you'd applied this strategy to a $10,000 account in just the last four weeks.

February 24th… you might not remember, but it was a red Friday.

Stocks dumped lower that Friday due to worries about a Fed rate hike.

Lots of folks lost money that day. Our alert didn't. The trade allowed folks to cash out with $500, just like it has 97.1% of the time since 2021.

Skip ahead to March 3rd: the market makes a complete 180…

Surely the same strategy, applied on the same stock in the exact same way, couldn't have made money again, right?

Wrong. The alert would have allowed traders to cash out with another $500 (that's $1,000 in two weeks if you're keeping track at home.)

One week later. March 10th.

By the end of the week, our Tuesday to Friday 2-step trade is fully caught in the teeth of the SVB market panic.

There's no way a trade on a blue-chip stock survived that devastating market shock, right? It must have lost some money.

Nope. The alert would have allowed traders to make more this week. $800 to be exact. Bringing the total from a $10k starting stake up to $1,800 in three weeks.

That's starting to feel like an extra paycheck — but the 2-step trade wasn't done.

Because on March 17th, as the fallout from the bank crisis continued…

Our alert that week would have made folks another $700.

If you're doing the math, that's $2,500 in four weeks, whether the markets were up or down, all using just one straightforward two-step trade.

Now, I'll be the first to tell you: market results like these aren't guaranteed. Could we take a loss on this strategy next week? Sure, we could.

And that's why I recommend never investing more than you can afford to risk. Still, there's a reason this strategy has maintained a 97.1% win rate on over 100 alerts (one a week) since 2021.

It's not because it's bulletproof. It's not because it's perfect.

It's because it approaches the markets in a totally different way from your standard up-or-down, all-or-nothing stock or options approach.

Those ARE the kinds of strategies that are completely at the mercy of bad headlines like the Fed rate, the CPI number, and the completely unforeseeable shocks like the bank crisis.

If you enjoy the thrill ride of the markets, always chasing the big win but always vulnerable to catastrophic and unpredictable losses, there's nothing wrong with that. Some traders love that "gamble" they take every time they open a trade.

But if you're tired of losing sleep over the next market shock, let me explain the 2-Step Trade to you in detail…
