It’s hard to trade out there if you’re trying to figure out the overall market direction.

So to help as many people as possible, I looked at questions that many of my readers asked… and one common response was…

How do I improve my success rate?

Let me break it down for you…

Find Your Pain Points

When you first start out trading, it’s easy to fall into traps and hop into every single stock you see moving… without understanding the reason for the massive move. That’s one of the main reasons why the old Wall Street adage goes, “90% of traders fail to make money in the stock market.”

However, that statistic has some bias baked into it… but I can tell you the failure rate is rather high for traders. Heck, I even came close to becoming a statistic…

I tried to be a jack of all trades… as I tested out dozens of strategies out there… until I hit my max pain point — down 50% on my small $15K account in just a few months.

So what did I do?

I reviewed my trades and cut all the losers out. I slowed down and became patient with my plays — until I mastered one single strategy.

When you’re able to focus on just one strategy, you can make adjustments and tweaks until it reaches near perfection.

Here are a few tips you can implement starting today that could improve your chances of success:

• Write down all your trades and categorize them. When you journal your trades, you’ll start to find a pattern and realize what strategies work for you and which ones cost you money. All you have to do after is cut your losing strategies and focus on the winners.
• Have a trading plan in place. For my strategies, such as my  Fast 5 Trades, I have a thesis, as well as buy, stop-loss, and target zones. That way, my clients just have to execute and stick to the plan.
• Remain patient and just place your bets behind your best ideas. It’s easy to fall into the trap and just push buttons all day… but don’t, it’s the quickest way to lose money in the markets. It’s okay to step away from your desk if you don’t see anything that’s moving.

I know what you’re wondering… Kyle, do you practice what you preach? 

Of course, and I want to lead by example every chance I get.

Journal Your Trades

After every trade, whether it’s a winner or loser, I break down the trade and send it off to my clients. For example, even though I achieved a 91% success rate on my Fast 5 Trades… I didn’t just celebrate and forget about my trades…

In fact, I journaled and showed traders how I spot these trades and what they could do the next time they see similar setups…

For example, one Fast 5 Trade winner was in Party City, and I actually broke down the “gap fill” play for them.

Check out that green circle in the chart below. All of that blank space between the close on Nov. 6 and the open on Nov. 7 is the “gap” I’m referring to.

The shares closed at $6.10 on Nov. 6 — but Party City reported a major earnings disappointment ahead of the bell back on Nov. 7, and the stock opened way lower at $3.29. 

That 46% opening deficit created the “gap” in PRTY’s daily chart that you see below… and things didn’t get much better for the stock during that post-earnings session. PRTY hit a post-bear gap high of only $3.31 on the day — just $0.02 above its opening price — before settling at $2.00 per share.

During the final week of 2019, though, PRTY finally broke out above this price point and started to gather real bullish momentum.

Last week’s trading was particularly compelling, in terms of setting up a bullish play for PRTY. The shares didn’t go too wild, mostly just consolidating atop newly established support at $2.50 — a sideways price trend that might not seem terribly exciting on its face.

Plan The Trade, And Trade The Plan

Trading gets a heck of a lot easier when you have a plan to follow. When I send out my highest conviction trade idea to my Fast 5 Trades clients, they know exactly the reasoning behind the trade, as well as where to get in, take profits, and stop-out.

Since everyone loves to call me The People’s Trader, I developed Fast 5 Trades… it’s my highest conviction trade idea delivered to clients via email, once per week.

Instead of overwhelming you with the minutiae about my trading style, I thought it would be easier if I just give traders my best idea  — that way, you can still earn while you learn.

Since the launch of Fast 5, I’ve only had one losing trade out of 11.

That’s a 91% win rate, virtually unheard of in the markets… while I can’t guarantee you’ll be able to achieve a success rate as I have… I can tell you I’ve got a heck of a lot more trade alerts lined up.

Once you figure out the process and stick to it, you could lock in winners, just as many of my Fast 5 clients have been doing.

At some point, you gotta just laugh.

Because actually, the success of this service is unreal.

Fast5 has been live for 11 weeks, and 10 – TEN, PEOPLE! – of these alerts have been stone cold winning trades in 5 days or less.

Today’s was no exception.

The one loser? A measly 7% where we tactfully stopped out and preserved the maximum amount of capital.

FAST5 Trade Alerts – Here’s the full week-by-week breakdown.

Week One: +11% in I

Week Two: +25% in SRRA

Week Three: +28% in VSTM

Week Four: +38% in DMPI

Week Five: +14% in XXII

Week Six: +23% in LJPC

Week Seven: +7% in NOK

Week Eight: +50% in BB 

Week Nine: +15% in PRTY

Week Ten: -7% in PLUG

Week Eleven: DETAILS BELOW  — +33% in AEMD

Let’s dive into today’s trade in AEMD.

Here’s the exact email that went out to my Fast5 members this morning:

I send you this to show you exactly how easy this is to execute.

I not only give you a “BUY price,” but a BUY ZONE.

This way, you know exactly what range I’m comfortable owning the stock in.

Same for my Profit Zone and Stop Zone.

I make it a habit to go the extra mile for my members!

Between the time I sent out this paid alert this morning on AEMD and now (frankly, a matter of hours…), the stock price spiked up 33%.

I’ve spent years honing my stock selection skills, and I’ve developed a system that helps me spot weekly winners just like AEMD.

But here’s what you have to understand.

Stock selection is barely ⅓ of the battle.

Sure you need it to get your feet off the ground, but then I help you walk all the way to the bank…

Buy Zone – Stop Zone – Profit Zone – Trade Plan

I do all the heavy lifting, and all you have to do is plug and play…

Be Advised!

I want to show you why it’s important to conduct due diligence when you trade or invest in stocks — and Kyle Dennis Fast 5 Trades method to find high-conviction trade ideas. Read my full Kyle Dennis Fast 5 Trade Alerts Review. That way you could prevent yourself from being trapped in schemes like the one I’m going to reveal.

I’m sure someone at some point has told you before: You have to get in on the cannabis “gold rush” before it’s too late. But let me tell you something, it’s not all glitz and glam in the industry. In fact, pot stocks get a bad rap for a reason.

A few rotten apples run these companies with one goal in mind — to scam investors and line their pockets with millions of stolen dollars… as they buy an obscene amount of luxury items with investors’ hard-earned cash.

Today, I’ve got a story that will grind your gears that involves a duo who defrauded investors of more than $4.85M… and there’s a lesson to be learned here.

Dirty Duo Defrauds Investors of At Least $4.85M

Guy Scott Griffithe and Robert William Russell controlled Green Acres Pharms, SMRB, and Renewable Technologies Solutions. This duo — with the aid of their companies — allegedly executed a scheme to defraud over 25 investors of at least $4.85 million with their recreational cannabis company securities offering.

Here’s how the elaborate scheme went down.

Griffithe and Russel sold fugazi (fake) ownership interests in Russel’s company, SMRB, to investors for 2.5 years. SMRB was a Washington state company that held a sacred license to grow and process pot under recreational cannabis laws. They could’ve done things the right way… but they chose not to.

Soon Griffithe and Russel began to sell securities through Griffithe’s companies Renewable Technologies Solutions and Green Acres Pharms. The duo claimed both these companies held a minority interest in SMRB.

Here’s the kicker: the dirty duo told investors that their hard-earned cash would go to the operation and the improvement of the SMRB’s cannabis business.

Of course, if you’re an investor and hear this… you would be enticed to put more money in. You see, by improving SMRB’s business it would result in a shower of profits that then would be distributed to investors quarterly. Of course, in direct proportion to what they put into the company.

Investors forked over millions to get in on this budding market (I don’t blame them, especially when you’ve got the head of companies telling you they’re trying to grow their businesses)… but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The worst part about this scheme is the fact the cannabis company securities sold by the duo sold to over 25 investors weren’t even worth the cost of a single rolling paper. They were 100% fake. The investors had no stake in SMRB… their money just disappeared. A $4.85 million trick played on investors.

What The Two Did With Millions Of Dollars

Disclaimer ── If you aren’t sitting down do so before reading this!

Griffithe would personally misappropriate over $1.8 million of investors’ funds.

What’d he do with all the money?

He purchased a 2015 Porsche Panamera, a 2013 Ford Mustang, a 2012 Mercedes Benz C Class, and a 2008 Bentley Continental.

And that’s just the vehicles he was cruising down the highway in! He bought something he could cruise the sea in too, putting $25,000 towards 42 ft Hydrasport custom powerboat.

Russel and his wife Sonja Marie Russel would misuse investors funds to the tune of about $1.7 million. A majority of which went directly into their personal bank accounts.

But the Russel family wouldn’t be out shined by Griffithe’s new boat. Obviously, they need something bigger, better, and grander. Resulting in them buying an even larger boat ── I guess you could say yacht. $250K of what Russel took from investors went towards a 65 ft Pacific Mariner yacht. Which would make Griffithe 42 ft boat look like a child’s play toy.

The SEC is out to make an example.

“As alleged in our complaint, Griffithe and Russell exploited popular interest in the cannabis industry to obtain millions of dollars from investors who thought they were buying into a profitable business… “Instead, Griffithe and Russell deceived investors and used the money to enrich themselves”, declared Associate Director Hodgeman.

They are seeking the return of the ill-gotten gains with interest and added civil penalties.

Hopefully, these 2 didn’t grow too used to their plush new toys.

Of course, we want to avoid companies like this at all costs.

So what’s my solution to this problem?

Fast 5 Trades.

Let me show you how it all works.

Don’t Get Caught Up In Stock Schemes… Start Finding High Conviction Trade Ideas

In my most recent Fast 5 winner, I spotted a trade setup in Party City (PRTY). Of course, before I even put my money behind the idea… I conducted my due diligence.

Here’s exactly what I sent out to my clients:

(Missed out on this alert? Sorry… but you don’t have to miss any more. Click here to see how Fast 5 Trades could help you achieve trading success)

If you look at the Fast 5 Trade alert above, everything was written out for my clients… all they had to do was execute. The best part: they didn’t have to worry about being caught up in a wild scheme.

Why?

Well, the holding period for Fast 5 Trades is 5 days or less. The goal is to be in on Monday and out before Friday. Let me break it down, and show you why this could be a solution for finding the best plays out there.

There was a positive catalyst (insider buying). Not only that, but there was a bullish chart setup. I don’t know about you… but if insiders are buying a stock, that’s a signal there could be some news on the way.

Of course, it’s not enough to just have a trade idea… it’s important to have a clear trade plan with buy, stop-loss, and target zones. Now, if you received the alert and followed the plan… you could’ve locked in a 15% winner real quick.

The best part: I don’t just alert Fast 5 clients and leave them hanging I actually break down the trade after.

Here’s a screenshot of what I sent out to clients after the trade went down… so they know what to do the next time they see a similar setup.

That’s really all it takes… execute the trade and wait for the trade break down to study it. That way, you could avoid getting caught up in Wall Street scandals.

Let Fast 5 Trades be your advantage in the sea of dirty players on Wall Street.

11,136.

That’s the population of a small town in the Swiss Alps called Davos.

For one week, the entire planet will be glued to what comes out of this tiny little place.

Why?

Because the World Economic Forum is being held there.

We’re talking about 91 countries in attendance, along with 53 participants listed as either the leader or head of government. 

Politicians aren’t the only ones attending — so is Wall Street.

It’s reported that at least 119 billionaires will be attending the snowy Swiss mountain town.

Anyone who matters in the hedge fund community will be there too.

Now, whenever you get that many billionaires crammed in one place, you can almost be certain they’ll be focused on one thing — HOW CAN WE GET RICHER.

But guess what?

They’re having a hard time coming up with answers.

I’m not kidding.

Now, since I won’t be attending Davos, I’ve decided to share what my advice to them would be, with you, right here.

Focus on Your Best Ideas

I created a service called Fast 5 Trades. It’s currently RagingBull’s most consistently profitable trading service —returning a whopping 211% over the last nine weeks.

It’s a culmination of everything I’ve learned in my seven years as a trader.

The same strategies that helped me take a $15,000 trading account and turn it into more than $7,000,000 by the age of 29.

I lost half of my account early on because I was trying to do too much… I was scared of missing out… if a stock was moving, I had to be in it… regardless if I had a plan or not.

But once I realized that less is more, that’s when my account started to grow exponentially.

Fast 5 Trades alerts come out the first day of the trading week.

My next alert comes out in just a few hours.

The goal is to be out of it with a double-digit return (or better) in five days or less.

Have a Plan and Trade Your Plan

Fast 5 Trades are easy to follow because it’s just one trade per week.

But aside from that, each alert comes with the three targets every successful trader needs: entry point, profit target, and stop loss.

So simple in fact, first-timers are having no trouble at all…

The average hedge fund last year returned a measly 6.9%.

Fast 5 clients are completely embarrassing them.

Maybe these folks should have been invited to Davos.

You don’t have to be a Wall Street genius to be consistently profitable, as John and others are proving.

Just one trade per week can position you for success.

And inch you closer to financial freedom.

My next  Fast 5 Trades  alert is going to be released shortly.

Your opportunity to make an extra $500, $1,000, or even $1,500 is just moments away.

You don’t want to miss it.

When people hear the word “hedge fund trading”, they often think of these quants who use sophisticated mathematical models and algorithms to pull out money from the stock market.

That leads to the common misconception: Trading is complex and you can’t make money in the markets, unless you’re one of Wall Street’s elites.

But the thing is, trading is easy when you break it down to steps.

You see, all you really need to do is narrow your trading universe and execute. For the most part, when I generate my best trade ideas… I filter for:

• Biotech stocks that meet specific criteria — volume, price, upcoming events
• Chart setups — Once I’ve got a couple of stocks, I look for bullish patterns

After, I just find my highest conviction trade and plan accordingly. I know my buy zone, profit zone, and stop zone… that means I could “set it and forget it”, walk away from my desk and trade stress-free.

Today, I want to walk you through some of my best techniques to simplify your trading — so you could still have a life without the need to sit and stare at your trading screens all day.

How to find the hottest stock on The Street

There are thousands of publicly-traded companies out there… so many to pick and choose from that your brain may get “information overload” and just crash even before you get into a trade.

If you’ve struggled with “overtrading” and just throwing down random bets… losing on a bulk of them… the root cause of the problem is probably because you didn’t filter for your bread-and-butter setups.

For example, when I look for stocks to trade, I just enter a couple of filters on Finviz.

This filters for biotech stocks trading under $10 with at least 500K in average daily volume (ADV). That means these stocks are fairly liquid and allow me to get some leverage. By just cutting down my universe to biotech stocks… I increase my odds of success.

How?

Well, biotechs are my bread-and-butter… and I have an extremely high win rate in them (it’s one of the main reasons I’ve been able to cash in $7M in career trading profits).

Once I have some stocks to look through… I analyze the charts and try to spot bullish setups.

For example, here’s an interesting setup in Aptose Biosciences (APTO).

It just broke out of a bull flag formation… and it’s got levels above at $2.80 and $3.10. That means there are clear areas to take profits.

Not only that, but it’s got some support around $2.10. From a risk-reward standpoint, this trade makes sense… but you do have to find the “perfect” buy zone to properly manage your position.

So I have an idea about my trade plan… the next thing I look for is the catalyst.

Event-Driven Trading For The Win (FTW)

Biotech stocks are always releasing new data points, and it’s so easy to find upcoming catalyst events. This allows us to take advantage of the “catalyst runup”.

You see, ahead of a key data release, many traders pile in and try to play for an explosive breakout… and we can directly take advantage of the momentum and just ride the wave.

If you check out BioPharmCatalyst, you can search for catalyst events… and APTO has one coming up in December for a Phase 1b data release for one of its drug candidates.

Source: BioPharmCatalyst

That means it’s a prime catalyst runup play.

So here’s how I would plan the trade…

Catalyst Dates: Phase 1b data due early December at ASH conference

Buy Zone: $2.30 to $2.40

Profit Zone: $2.70 or higher

Stop Zone: $2.10 or below

Pretty simple right?

I know where I’m going to buy, stop out, and take profits… and that might be the only trade I place using my highest conviction trading strategy, Fast 5.
