What is TradeWithPros?
TradeWithPros is a group of full-time traders that has been creating innovative ways to educate the general public about generating positive performance when trading financial markets. The mission of TradeWithPros is to turn the average investor into a sophisticated trader through the use of our educational tools. As a group of full-time traders, we are sincere
about providing a unique website that is the number one spot for trader education:
Integrity
All information used in the TradeWithPros process of financial education is of the highest
accuracy and integrity. We identify the technical trade signals when they appear, utilizing
important concepts such as support and resistance. We continue to identify the markets and
bring to the table a new educational experience each week, striving to provide clear and honest analysis. We value your input as we continue to perfect our website. Please get involved and email us if you want to add to or comment on any of our content.
Nonbiased
We believe that TradeWithPros’ success is contingent on nonbiased information. We have
worked closely with partners and experts to ensure our language is in no way misleading.
Nonpartisan
TradeWithPros does not affiliate with any companies, hedge funds, or advertisers. The
education we provide is strictly "call them as we see them." This is why our members are
reaping tremendous benefits from our experienced instruction.
Transparency
All information provided by TradeWithPros will be available for our members to view and
scrutinize. The information is provided long before the market opens to ensure no misleading
results.
Insight
TradeWithPros is always adapting to economic and market conditions along with volatility. We
are constantly providing new information each week to reflect market changes. Our educational stock and option picks mean you will be provided with continuous instruction.
What does TradeWithPros do?
TradeWithPros educates our members about key tools for personal money management.
Our mission is to help you implement the TradeWithPros Components of Trading: Riski
Management, the Power of Options, "Street" Fundamental Analysisi, Technical Analysisi, and
Taking Profits Professionally. We aren't here to tell you what to do; we are here to help you
learn!
How many educational stock picks are given each week?
We focus on quality and not quantity. When we see a trade we like, only then will we add it to
one of the TradeWithPros portfolios. There can be between 0 and 5 picks a week. Our mission
is to teach and guide you, not simply to sell you something. During holiday weeks do not expect to see picks, as the markets will be closed and volume will be light.
What is a Day Trader?
A Day Trader is a stock trader who holds positions for a very short time (from minutes to hours) and makes numerous trades each day. Trades are entered and closed within the same day.
What is Swing Trading?
Swing trading is a style of trading that attempts to capture gains in a stock within several days to several months.
What is an Investor?
An Investor is someone who uses the strategy of "buy and hold" for a time period of a year to
several years or more.
How can I learn from your educational alerts?
We show you exactly where you should enter long or short, as well as the reasoning behind that decision. Educating our users is our number one priority.
What percentage of the capital should be allocated to each educational trade?
We recommend that beginners contribute no more than 10% of risk capital to each trade they
invest in. If you don't trade options, you first need to practice on a simulated trading account in order to understand the "Power of Options."
How do you calculate your performance?
((Current price-Original price)/Original Price) x100
For example: If you bought GOOG at $20 and it went to $25, the formula would be
((25-20)/20=.25x100=25%
How long do you hold your educational trades?
All educational alerts can vary in holding times. Let your winners run and cut your losses
quickly. High risk picks are usually held for shorter periods while low risk picks can be held
for up to 6-12 months. Each investor has their own risk tolerance, so do what feels most
comfortable to you.
Does your educational system work in both bull and bear markets?
Absolutely. We pride ourselves on being able to teach you how to make money when the
market goes up, down, or even sideways.
At what time do you usually post your educational trade alerts?
Generally, educational alerts will be posted on Sunday night. We urge you to check the site
often.
Do you give exact entry and exit prices for the educational alerts?
We provide exact entry prices; however, we differ from other sites in that we do not offer exit
prices. We would never want to give you an exit price and then have the trade keep winning.
We do provide targets, but our goal is for you to maximize profits. You choose the percent
return acceptable to your own trading style on each trade we offer, and exit at that point. We tell you when we see something; you decide whether or not to act on that information.
What are your advantages over your competitors?
We have many advantages over our competitors. We have developed the right team of
seasoned traders and technicians. Not only do we offer our educational alerts, but we show you why we like them. In addition, we offer many other features such as classes, reviews, individual guidance, tutorial sessions and much more!
Why is TradeWithPros so successful?
We have a seasoned staff who trade around the clock! We are always looking to hear from our
members about improvements and new features to provide. This concept was developed to
transform into a hobby, a new career, or even the next national sport!
I live in Canada, the UK, Australia, etc… Do your techniques work in those markets?
Yes. While we focus on American markets, our tools and techniques can be transferred to other markets, especially currencies and commodities.
Does your system require a large investment of time?
Our system is designed for you. If you want to invest a large amount of time, you will find plenty of information and tools to occupy many hours.
I work 9 to 5. Do I have to trade during the day to see results?
Our investment ideas can be time sensitive. If you do not have access to your account during
normal trading hours, we recommend low-risk choices with longer time horizons.
Are your results based on live trades or are they hypothetical?
Although we personally may be invested at any time, all results are hypothetical and for
educational purposes only.
What techniques do you use to achieve your impressive results?
The founders of TradeWithPros are full-time traders. We are up-to-date on our information, want to teach people, and have developed a web concept that is superior to the competition. Weutilize both technical and fundamental information.
How much capital do I need to get started using your system?
Many people start trading with as little as $2,000. We recommend opening an account, and then using a simulated trading platform to practice your techniques before trading live money.
On what exchanges are your stock picks traded?
NYSE and NASDAQ, potentially others. We focus on large companies and rarely will trade
companies worth less than $5.00 a share.
Do I trade with my own account, or do I need to open an account with you?
You will be trading your own account. We have a whole section in our materials related to how to pick a broker. We provide education only.
If my buy price is higher than your recommended price, should I adjust the stop level of my entry or just keep the same stop level?
Stop levels appear at important price points. Try to use the same stop. Never risk more then you should.
Do you offer a free trial?
We offer a 30-day unconditional money back guarantee for new members.
How secure is my personal information when I sign up?
TradeWithPros takes the highest precautions. We have the award-winning "HackerSafe"
security seal. We also offer 256-bit encryption – the highest level available. This is substantially higher than the 128-bit encryption commonly used on other sites. We take your security seriously!
