American Pie

_{The American Pie “Crowning Jewel of Brilliance” Rule}

In the background of successful and professional trading programs, you will find something similar if not exactly like the following:

If you only  have a statistical win/lose rate of 50/50.
If your risk/reward management is set up properly-which is each position is structured to win more than it loses.
If your position values are similar.
Then you are in a profitable stream of trading.

Add hedging into the mix and you’re really nailing it.  If your win rate exceeds 50% this of course moves the meter farther to your advantage. You do not need a high percentage of “wins” to have a successful trading program. You need a properly structured strategy like ours at American Pie. You cannot argue with baked-in statistical advantages.

_{Beating or Learning to Live with a Volatile Market}

Sudden market reversals are a part of trading. It's important to learn how to manage these situations effectively. This is done by being very careful with your money and how much of it is at risk at any given time. Over extension means you are offering the market more to chop off. Do not overextend your values and stick to your program. Volatility wrecks traders but it does not have to happen to you.

_{Saving Profits}

When you are trading in profit, consider moving portions of your profits off of your exchange and into a place away from your trading. Undisciplined traders will keep all of their funds on the exchange they are trading on. They almost always dip back in, overextend, they blow their accounts. Pick a percentage and start moving that percentage of your profits away from your reach.

_{Trading Takes Time.}

If you have been trading for less than 3-5 years, keep in mind that trading takes time to learn.  Eventually you will develop a nose for it. It takes time to get results. When you are using our signals, it will statistically  take time for you to get into our slipstream. You need to be exposed to the positives and negatives of the market long enough for our baked-in advantages to even out and come to the surface. You need to be exposed to the realities of drawdowns and recoveries long enough to experience the overall advantages of our (or any realistic) trading program. Trading is a long game of squeezing out statistical advantages. Trading takes time. Be patient.
