Basic Investing and Trading – Trader’s Ultimate Edge

Basic Investing and Trading Education

Where your journey begins.

This program is our foundational education. It’s designed to teach a broad overview of what someone would need to move on to either becoming a full-time trader, or managing their own portfolio. That’s why this course is included in our day-trader and income pathways.

It comes with eight small classroom workshops for Q&A with an instructor who has years in the markets so you can ask any questions you have regarding the curriculum and get your answers.

We also offer something that no one else does – 1-on-1 mentoring is included with our basics courses. Anyone who takes the basics course will get two 1-on-1 sessions with an instructor designed to help put together a customized action plan for the student to learn the material they’re really interested in.

  • Someone who wants to get more involved with managing their own portfolio.

Program Objectives

  • To gain the knowledge necessary to understand how and why the market moves like it does.
  • To develop skills in analyzing broad based economic factors that can lead to those movements.
  • To understand how to properly value a company in the stock market and begin to make picks for their own portfolios.
  • To learn basic charting and technical analysis, and then apply those new skills with some basic trading strategies.
  • To gain confidence with more advanced topics like options and futures, paving the way for day trading or income investing.

workshops

The small workshops are designed to allow you some time in a group environment to hear and participate in Q&A. If no one has a question then the instructor will teach on material from the curriculum. Typical classroom size is 5-15 people. Typical length is around an hour to an hour and a half. The reason we do small workshops like this is to increase the value our clients receive by allowing them to listen to questions from everyone. All workshops are recorded and available via the client dashboard.

1-on-1s

Each enrollee will receive, beyond the eight included workshops, two 1-on-1 sessions (usually thirty minutes) to help them learn and retain the information. During this time the instructor will ask you if you need help on any particular point of the curriculum and develop a customized action plan for you moving forward.

If, for example you’re only interested in value investing, then the instructor can assign particular homework focused on that objective in your first meeting, and follow up in the second. The homework would likely be focused around determining proper valuation of a publicly traded company.

1-on-1s are something that can be continued after the class and are included as part of our monthly program in the day trader pathway.

Anthony Garcia’s experience with trading is not typical, nor is the experience of individuals featured in testimonials. They are experienced traders. Becoming an experienced trader takes hard work, dedication and a significant amount of time. We do not track the typical results of our current or past students. As a provider of educational courses, we do not have access to the personal trading accounts or brokerage statements of our customers. Available research data suggests that most day traders are not profitable.

In a research paper published in 2014 titled “Do Day Traders Rationally Learn About Their Ability?”, professors from the University of California studied 3.7 billion trades from the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992-2006 and found that only 9.81% of day trading volume was generated by predictably profitable traders and that these predictably profitable traders constitute less than 3% of all day traders on an average day.

In a 2005 article published in the Journal of Applied Finance titled “The Profitability of Active Stock Traders” professors at the University of Oxford and the University College Dublin found that out of 1,146 brokerage accounts day trading the U.S. markets between March 8, 2000 and June 13, 2000, only 50% were profitable with an average net profit of $16,619.

In a 2003 article published in the Financial Analysts Journal titled “The Profitability of Day Traders”, professors at the University of Texas found that out of 334 brokerage accounts day trading the U.S. markets between February 1998 and October 1999, only 35% were profitable and only 14% generated profits in excess of than $10,000.

The range of results in these three studies exemplify the challenge of determining a definitive success rate for day traders. At a minimum, these studies indicate at least 50% of aspiring day traders will not be profitable. This reiterates that consistently making money trading stocks is not easy. Day Trading is a high risk activity and can result in the loss of your entire investment. Any trade or investment is at your own risk.
