We are pleased to announce that we are now offering a new exciting Platinum Trading Service Membership! For years we
have been asked to provide a real time trading service, and demand has been so strong recently that we decided to ramp up our resources and offer this amazing new service. This product is now available. Below is a summary of how the program works, and below that is a section on Frequently Asked Questions.
Here Is How The Platinum Trading Service Membership Works:
Subscribers to this exclusive Platinum Trading Service continue to receive all of the excellent services and benefits of a regular subscription membership, plus they receive membership in an exclusive group that will receive approximately 15 to 30 trading transactions per year (the number depending upon market conditions) for a one year membership, and approximately 8 to 15 trading transactions per six months (the number depending upon market conditions) for a six month membership.
We will email platinum subscribers a trade we identify for ourselves in the aggressive segment of a trading portfolio, using highly leveraged financial instruments such as index stock options and leveraged ETFs. Risk will be controlled through investment limits (from ½ percent to 2 percent of trading capital per trade, depending upon our level of confidence in the trade), as well as the occasional use of stop loss limits.
Notification of trades will be emailed to platinum subscribers as close in real time to when we identify the trade as possible, usually within 15 minute of the trade. Uncontrollable email delays are possible, so we will also post the trades at our new Platinum Trading Service Current Trade button at the top left of the home page at www.technicalindicatorindex.com , as well as place an alert at the top of the home page for subscribers to know at a quick glance that a trade has been conducted.
The time horizon for trades is from a few days to a few weeks, short-term, but usually longer than day-trading. In other words, we expect to open a position, and hold that position for anywhere from a day to three weeks, before closing out the trade.
We have identified a combination of key indicators that we follow regularly that when aligned together produce high probability trading trend opportunities. A 2 to 4 percent move in stocks can generate typically anywhere from a 10 percent to 30 percent profit, depending upon the financial instrument chosen to trade.
Trading takes skill and experience. We identify for you high probability buy and sell points in select, carefully chosen trades, however we do not conduct the trades for you, and cannot advise you when to buy or sell. You are expected to use this impersonal service for educational purposes only, and consult your personal financial advisor or broker for any trade executions you choose. You can choose to follow us or you can choose not to; however approximately 15 to 30 high probability trading opportunities will be shared with you in near real-time.
The cost for trading services such as this normally runs anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 per year. You can grab this now for a steep discounted initial rate of $2,995 per year, or $1,695 for a six months membership; plus, current subscribers to our regular service will receive full credit for the pro-rata unused value remaining on their current regular subscription, which reduces the initial cost of this platinum service. For example, if you bought a 2 year subscription for $459 two months ago, and you upgrade your subscription to the Platinum Trading Service premium subscription, you will pay only $2,574.25 ($2,995 less $420.75 credit from current remaining unused subscription). All Platinum Trading Service subscriptions run for one year from the date of payment, and can be opened at any time. We offer discounted longer-terms than one year.
You can pay either by clicking on the Platinum Trading Service button at www.technicalindicatorindex.com using a credit card, or you can mail a check payable to Main Line Investors, Inc. If you pay by check, please send in the full amount and we will refund your credit card for the pro-rata remaining portion of your regular subscription once we receive your check payment, or mail a check for the credit back to you. You can mail checks to Main Line Investors, Inc.,
So plan now to join our exclusive Trading Service Membership, available now at www.technicalindicatorindex.com Happy Trading, Wishing you many profitable returns!
Best regards,
Robert McHugh, Ph.D.
Platinum Trading Service
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the standard monthly service continue to
feature the “conservative portfolio model” or will
that be cut back or eliminated due to the trading
service coming on board now?
A: The Regular subscription service will
include everything except the trading
service, so will include the conservative
portfolio model and transactions. The
trading service only comes with the
Platinum membership.
Q: How do you plan on controlling risk with this
trading service?
A: Our new platinum trading service will be
highly disciplined, very different than the
other work we do elsewhere on our site,
which is more analysis oriented than trading
oriented, with carefully selected entry and
exit points based upon how several key
indicators in combination stack up at any
given time. If they give a green light, we go
in. If the risk is great with a green light, we
go in light. If the risk is minimal with the
green light, we go in a bit heavier. We get
out when a profit target has been achieved,
or something changes the risk profile for
the trade. We use highly leveraged ETFs
and options which allow us to get strong
returns with minimal amount of trading
capital at risk of loss. Typical trades utilize
½ to 2 percent of trading capital per trade.
On occasion we may use stop loss limits, but
oftentimes we will not use stops, instead
managing risk by limiting the amount
invested in the trade and/or doing rollovers.
Q: What do you expect your Return on Investment to
be?
A: There is no way to predict ROI, however by
using index options, we have found that a 2
to 4 percent move in that stock index in the
direction of a trade can generate from 10
percent to 35 percent returns on the
amount invested over a few weeks of time.
This is not a guarantee, and market
conditions can change and affect returns,
but we aim at returns in the 10 percent to
35 percent range for each trade. For
example, if we decide to trade 1 percent of
our portfolio’s trading capital, and that
amounts to $4,000, and we generate a 25
percent return, then that trade realizes an
$1,000 profit. If the risk profile of a trade
allows us to invest $8,000 in a trade, and if
that trade happens to generate a 15 percent
profit, then that trade realizes a $1,200
profit (excluding transactions commissions).
Q: Do you expect every trade to be a winner?
A: No. Our goal is to have a winner on every
trade, but the reality is there will be losing
trades from time to time, due to market
aberrations. We would be satisfied with 70
to 80 percent of our trades being winners.
Q: Will the Platinum Trading Service Membership
include all the other services provided in your
regular subscription membership?
A: Yes.
Q: Will the trades be primarily in the
will there be international market trades?
A: At this time, all trades will be in
Q: Will there be a telephone hotline to alert us to
trades?
A: No. There will be an email alert sent out
within approximately 15 minutes of the
trade, as well as an alert notation at the top
of the website that announces a trade has
been conducted, as well as details of the
trade being posted to the Platinum Trading
Service Current Trades button at the
upper left of the home page.
Q: Will there be any option to opt out of the platinum
trading service subscription membership if not
satisfied?
A: Unfortunately no, all sales will be final. This
allows us to plan and put our best resources
toward this Trading Service. Subscriptions
are for one year and you have the option to
renew or not renew upon expiration,
although from time to time we offer
discounted longer and short-term term
memeberships.
Q: What markets will the Platinum Trading Service
be trading, and what instruments will the trades be
typically using?
A: Typical trades will be playing major stock
indices, and using either options or
leveraged ETFs. On occasion, there may
also be trades in precious metals such as
Gold, currencies such as the U.S. Dollar, or
individual stocks. We prefer trading the
indices instead.
Q: Do you have a documented track record of past
trades?
A: While this is a new trading service, and it
will use a unique and tested combination of
key indicators we follow, that combination
of which is proprietary, we have had several
successful trades conducted for regular
subscribers in real time over the past several
years using some or all of these indicators as
the basis for the trade, which are
documented at the Platinum Trading
Service Archives button at the upper left of
the home page.
Q: I am a regular subscriber to your service and I see
trading ideas throughout the year using your
conservative portfolio. What makes the platinum
service so different versus your regular service?
A: The regular service includes a conservative
portfolio model, with occasional
transaction ideas (educational)
which are reported to subscribers. However,
these transactions are conservative in
nature, with a long time horizon, with a
lower target profit return on investment
than one would expect with an aggressive
trading service. The conservative portfolio is
aimed at wealth preservation with mild
returns in low risk investments whereas the
Platinum Trading Service is an aggressive
investing forum which will aim to achieve
high returns given a carefully disciplined
approach to higher risk investments.
Q: What is the typical time horizon for trades in the
Platinum Trading Service?
A: Trades will be conducted with the
expectation that they will be in play
anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
This service will not be a day trading
service per se where trades are entered and
closed the same day. That may happen
from
time to time if a unique event occurs that
generates a fast target profit goal or
changes the risk profile of the trade
within the same day. But for the most part,
trades have a 2 day to 3 week time horizon.
Q: How many trades per year will your Platinum
Trading Service conduct?
A: This depends upon market conditions, as we
will identify trades when we get a green
light from the convergence of a combination
of key indicators we follow, but back-
testing
and past experience suggest that this
converging combination of high probability
trend-finding indicators occurs
approximately 15 to 30 times per year (8 to
15 for a six months membership). That
is a wide range, but again, it depends upon
how volatile the market is during the course
of a particular year. There may be a period
of 3 months where only 2 or 3 trades occur,
but then the next 3 months could see 7 to
10 trades. It all depends upon what the
market conditions are at the time.
Q: Will we be putting conservative portfolio funds to
work in this Platinum Trading Service?
A: Only speculative funds will be used in this
trading service, funds that are not needed
for basic needs. Our conservative investment
portfolio has a small segment (about 5
percent of the portfolio) earmarked for
speculative trading, and those funds will be
used in this Platinum Trading Service.
The Platinum Trading Service trades will be
reported in the Conservative Portfolio
Model after the fact, after the trades have
been conducted and closed out. Platinum
Trading Service trades will be reported in
real time only to Platinum Trading Service
subscribers, not in real time to regular
subscription members.
Q. If I am a Regular Subscription Member, and I
decide to upgrade my membership to the Platinum
Trading Service Subscription Membership, do I get
a credit for the unused portion of my regular
subscription at the time I pay for the Platinum
membership?
A: Yes. At the Platinum Subscription option at
the Subscribe Today button at the upper
left of the home page at
www.technicalindicatorindex.com ,
the credit will be automatically calculated
and deducted from the $2,995 price for the
Platinum service (from the $1,695 price for
a
six months Platinum membership), so in
effect you will pay less than the $2995
one year Platinum Service
Subscription price for the Platinum
membership ($1,695 for a six months
membership).
