This Page will have various Explanations or "How To's" on various items such as how to use this site, where to get information, etc.
1. How to Navigate our Site: Our site is divided into many sections. For trades and analysis on individual markets - click on the Market Commentary and Trades link near the top of this site. We also post our Trade of the Day on Twitter and on our Facebook page. In addition to the trade of the day, we also issue alerts on new site postings using Twitter and Facebook that will alert you to come to the site to acquire the information. We don't post our weekly trades and commentary on Facebook or Twitter - that is just posted on this site for our paid members and Free Trial clients. You don't need Twitter or Facebook to utilize this site fully... as everything that is posted there is posted here. We just use Twitter and Facebook as another convenient delivery method for our members of the trade of the day and to alert them when a new article as been posted on the site.
2. How to get our Commentary, Trades, Info, etc: There are several ways that we communicate with our members. Our Trade of the Day will get posted on this site, Facebook and we also will send out a Tweet on Twitter. Our Market Commentary and Trades will be located on the website in their appropriate section which can be accessed by clicking on the Market Commentary and Trades button at the top of this page.
3. How to Place your own orders from what we post: We typically post our trades with 3 orders - Entry, 1st Target and Stop Loss. We use Stop Orders to get us into the trade and to "protect" us from extended losses. We use the Limit order to liquidate a part (or all) of our position at the 1st target. This is all standard order types and nothing too "fancy". Our typical post will read, "We are going to buy the Sept "ABC" contract on a break of 1245.50. Our First Target is 1250 and our Stop Loss is 1242.80 - So we would put a Buy Stop order at 1245.60 (for this example - 1 tick above the break) with our broker. When that price gets hit, we are now long the "ABC" contract. We will also issue a Stop Loss order which is the order that gets you out of the position if it goes the wrong way. We issue this as soon as the entry is hit. This isn't a "mental" stop loss or a "paper" stop loss order but an ACTUAL stop loss order placed with the broker. In this example we would tell our broker that we want a Sell Stop at 1242.80. Then we would place a Sell Limit Order at 1250 for our profit target. We generally get out of 60% of our initial position at the 1st target and let the remaining contracts "run" for more potential profit. We also usually move our stop loss to near our entry point after the 1st target is hit and evaluate that as time goes on. Remember, once you think you have exited the trade to cancel all pending orders that may be still on the "books". Also, verify that you are "flat" i.e. not in the position any longer. We will also put in the initial trade post our time frame for the trade. If you have more questions on this - feel free to Click Here.

10. How to Deterimine Risk Levels Trading is inherently risky. How much you should trade is a personal choice. We suggest that you don't trade more than 10% of your trading capital on any one trade. Don't ever trade money you cannot afford to lose. Don't think that trading is an easy way to pay your bills. We also like to use REAL stop loss orders in case we are wrong, which does happen to all traders from time to time.
11. How do I know whether I should be trading or not? Perhaps you should or maybe you shouldn't. You are the only person who can assess your own financial situation and determine if trading is appropriate for you. Do not use money you can't afford to lose as trading is inherently risky. If you don't have the time, patience, knowledge or experience (or the nerve) have someone else trade your money for you. Conti Capital Investments is a firm that uses our methodology to manage money.
