– in the middle of the biggest sell-off in 17 months –
his proven '1-2-3' trading technique is quietly:
- Spotting profit opportunities spooked investors are missing...
- Timing stock 'buy' and 'sell' calls with hawk-eye accuracy...
- Successfully limiting capital risk for cautious Aussie investors so they can trade with confidence – while everyone else panics...
Dear investor,
-- "A frenzied market that's out of control..."
That's how technical analyst Mark Umanski recently described the All Ords stock index in The Age, after Aussie investors got smashed in the biggest sell-off for 17 months.
He reckons there's "an interesting few weeks ahead".
"Interesting". That's one way of putting it.
"Scary" is another. "Unpredictable"... "daunting"... "terrifying" – there are three more.
If you've got any money invested in stocks at the moment, you're probably wondering if the worst is over... perhaps you're worried you could lose a lot of money as markets prepare for more ups and downs over the coming weeks...
Maybe that fear is nagging at you to snatch your cash out of stocks right now and slide it safely under your mattress until the good – and settled – times return.
But if you're a trader – well you probably agree with Mr Umanski that the prospects for the coming weeks and months look "interesting".
Personally, I think he's understating it.
The VIX index that measures volatility and fear in the markets recently shot up 51 percent in a week... The European debt crisis sent global financial markets into a tailspin... news of the US$1.1 trillion ECB/Fed bailout sent them soaring again...
To me the forecast looks positively exciting. In fact I'm already positioning myself to trade this market uncertainty for big gains...
And that's why, before you do anything rash and unnecessary with your money, I urge you to give me the next five minutes of your time...
The time to trade has arrived
As an investor you're conditioned to fear risk. As a trader you're taught to embrace it.
You see – risk is what makes you money... as long as you know how to control it.
And that's why I'm writing to you today. Let me ask you:
If you knew of a way to buy and sell stocks that made it almost impossible to lose money – even when the market is all over the place like it is now – how often would you trade?If you're nodding, read on...
If you could buy a stock – but only risk 2% of your capital to see if you're right about that stock, as opposed to ALL of it – would you feel a little more comfortable investing at the moment?
Today I'm going to reveal the details of a trading strategy that's unique in Australia. An approach that's working even as the ASX takes a battering.
It's a strategy that uses heightened risk in the markets to identify trading opportunities on the ASX200 – then manages that risk so that your capital is barely exposed in the event that the market moves against you.
Profit whether the market is up or down
My technique flags trading opportunities – whether stocks are booming OR tanking.
It times when to get in and out of a position. It works in tandem with a tightly monitored risk-management technique I call the '1-2-3 rule' that aims to protect your investment capital as early as possible in a trade.
It's not a 'black box' system based on lunar cycles, odd number relationships that date back to the Dark Ages, or any other mathematical formula.
It's a fundamentally driven approach to trading blue-chip stocks on the ASX: buy LOW, within a particular trading range, and sell HIGH – at the highest point of that range.
Or you can do the opposite and short-sell those stocks. My system is still as easy to use on the short-side and it makes no difference whatsoever to your risk exposure.
I break all trades – long and short – down into three phases. Once you get past phase 1 of a position it's almost impossible to lose money.
In this letter I'm going to show you how my unique trading approach could help you take advantage of some of the most volatile market conditions in recent memory. With my system you'll have a distinct advantage over regular buy-and-hold investors – even if you've never traded before.
This is the perfect way to invest with confidence at the moment. Instead of leaving all your capital exposed to the whim of the market, you'll be risking just 2% of it on each position. Sometimes you'll be in and out of a trade within a day or two... sometimes a week or so... occasionally a couple of months.
But however long you're in a trade, my '1-2-3' strategy will give you tons of exposure to the upside of increased market volatility... while limiting your exposure to the downside... often to ZERO.
Let me show you what I mean...
Trading with almost no risk is as easy as 1,2,3
This is the stock price chart of a well-known WA energy firm.
I can't reveal its name as this is a live trade at the time of writing – that's why the chart title is blacked out.
But to be honest, the stock is irrelevant here. It's the trading approach that's important. I want to show you how my system works.
This chart is a stripped-back, really clear example of how my 1-2-3 system can identify trading opportunities on the ASX... and how I can put those opportunities in front of you quickly – no matter if the economy is up or down.
Trade and profit... or hold and miss out?
This is the price chart of a stock heaps of Aussies love to buy and hold, in the hope that, over time, it will deliver good returns. The chart above reveals a different, much quicker and much less risky way to make money from this stock. You can adopt this strategy any time, in any type of market...
In a nutshell, what you see above is how my system could hand you an opportunity to trade the stock for a quick triple-digit gain.
Using my method, you could...
- Profit from a short-term upsurge in this company's share price...
- Protect your investment against a drop in the stock...
- Cash out (if all goes to plan) in around seven months with a three-figure gain...
- Do ALL this while regular investors are holding the stock, tying up all their capital and while they remain completely exposed and vulnerable to any downturn...
Let me show you how my system could have helped you trade this stock – including the specific advice I'd have given you at every stage of the trade.
Just so you know up-front, if you'd joined me on this trade back in November last year, and cashed out at the time of writing this (7th June 2010) you'd walk away with a 101% gain... in just seven months.
Try getting that rate from any term deposit account!
More importantly, thanks to my 1-2-3 risk management system, for around 90% of the duration of this trade, NONE of your capital would be at risk.
Not one cent. In fact, in this trade,
Only 2% of your cash is EVER on the line
Please be clear: you always have to risk some money in a trade, particularly in the initial stages to see if you're right. The reason many investors lose money is because they go 'all-in' on a position without covering their 'stake', so to speak.
In the current market that's asking for trouble.
My approach limits your initial risk on any investment to just 2% of your total capital.
Okay, if you were in on this trade with me, here's what would have happened...
> EMAIL #1, 23rd October 2009: "Buy [NAME OF STOCK] at $0.31c or nearest market price and set a stop-loss position at $0.18c."
A 'stop-loss' position is a type of trading order you place with your broker that closes you out of a trade if the market moves against you... like a trip-wire that automatically sends a signal to your broker to exit a position.Setting this stop loss level means just two percent of your capital is on the line from 23rd October where I recommended you enter the trade, to 16th November where our 'phase 1' profit target is reached. At this point, I'd send you another note...
It's not an absolute guarantee of protection– there's still the possibility the market could move against you suddenly, causing the share price to 'gap' below your stop level before this 'trip wire' is activated. But it's a great tool – and the best safety net you have. I always set one when I trade.
> EMAIL #2, 16th November 2009: "Phase 1 target reached. Take a 12.9% profit (one third of the total 38.7% gain at this point) at $0.43c or nearest market price and move your stop loss up to $0.25c – the 'phase 1' breakeven point of the trade – to protect your initial investment."
From here on in, you're effectively playing with a free stake.
No matter how long the trade lasts after this point, you can only make money or break even (barring a sudden "gap" in the share price, like I mentioned above).
At this point I'd be looking for the share price to hit one more important marker, so that you could be sure of an overall profit. In the above example, the price hit this marker four months later. This is when you'd get another email from me...
> EMAIL #3, 23rd March 2010: "Phase 2 target reached. Take another 58% profit at $0.85c and move your stop loss up to the original entry point of $0.31c."
That brings us up to date.
Right now we're in phase 3 of the position... that means, whatever happens...
Profits are assured from here on in
In phase 3 your risk is covered. There's no sweating it out, no refreshing your trading screen every 30 seconds with your heart racing and everything on the line.
When you're in phase 3, you can enjoy completely stress free, risk free trading.
Your initial capital is safe.
You've taken profits as you go.
You lose nothing whatsoever by staying in this trade.
At time of writing this (7th June 2010) the current share price is 60 cents. Even if it goes down further from here, we'll have locked in a profit and set a stop loss that should get us out of the position if the share price drops suddenly.
If you'd joined in this trade at the beginning, and sold your remaining shares right now, you'd bank another 33% profit.
And overall? Well, let me remind you:
You'd walk away with a 101% gain
|
But the real beauty of this is its simplicity: I've only sent THREE simple email trade alerts to date. Closing out the trade with a sell alert would take that tally to four.
Would you read four short emails to make a 101% profit?
That fourth and final email – the sell alert – is the most important of all. After all, you can hold your stocks for as long as you want, but you never make a cent until you sell!
I'm not selling just yet – I think, despite a slight reversal, there's more upside to come from this trade, which is why we're still in it.
My job from here on in is to watch for the stock to start trending down (if this was a 'short' trade the opposite would be true). When the trade starts moving against us, once it gets past a certain point, I pretty much know where it's headed.
You see, my system acts like a kind of 'market metronome'.
That is, it TIMES the trade and identifies the perfect moment to get in, when to take profits and move your stop loss and, most importantly of all, when to get out.
To paraphrase Lord Nathan Rothschild, I look to:
BUY on the cannons;
SELL on the trumpets
SELL on the trumpets
Buying a stock at the right time is vitally important. But in my experience the exit is the most critical part of the entire trade.
Time it right and you'll make a ton of money – get it wrong and you can ruin all your hard work, and vaporise your profits in an INSTANT.
When my system triggers the 'sell' signal on this trade I'll send that fourth, most important, email to my members... and hopefully get them out with an even bigger profit on the overall position than they're already sitting on...
Listen, if you're in any doubt about investing right now, let me reassure you:
With a timing system that flags your entry and exit, aligned to a proven technique for tightly controlling your risk, it doesn't matter what's going on in the markets. You can still trade to win.
Can you imagine investing with this kind of confidence at the moment, while the ASX is all over the place?
Most investors are heading for the hills in a blind panic right now. But I LOVE the volatility and drama of an uncertain market.
That's because I trust – 100% – the top-secret trade timing method I've been using to make money for the last 15 years in ALL kinds of market conditions. Let me give you a quick glimpse of how it works...
The magic and mystery of 'magnetic' price action
Whenever I want to trade a stock I look for something called a 'price distribution'. That's basically a telltale range within which a particular stock is trading.
Once you've been doing this as long as I have, these are fairly easy to spot – but I use a number of different charting techniques (we'll be here all day if I tell you about each one individually) to zero-in on a potential trading opportunity.
Not every distribution is tradeable. But when I find one that fits my trading criteria I track its high and low points and draw a line across the chart at both points.
Slap bang in the middle of these two lines, I draw a third, central line, which I call the 'point of control'.
This is my secret trade-timing weapon
I'm not hugely comfortable sharing this information with you, if I'm honest. And I'm certainly not prepared to reveal exactly how the 'point of control' works, since I've spent the last 15 years applying, developing and refining it.
 |
Take a look at the chart to the right. See the three horizontal blue lines of the price distribution. The middle one of the three is the all-important 'magnet' of price action. Look how it draws the price back to it.
These three lines tell me everything I need to know about a trade's potential: where the price might be heading, how long I might have to wait for the big move and, more importantly, how much cash I'll have to risk to see if I'm right.
Bottom line: this means I NEVER have to place a high-stakes blind bet based on a hunch, tip or gut feeling.
How reassuring would you find that right now?
I can see 'buy-and-holders' getting into all sorts of trouble over the coming weeks and months because they don't know what to do for the best while the markets are yo-yoing.
That doesn't have to be you.
With my '1-2-3 / point of control system' helping you, you can trade this market uncertainty cleverly and dispassionately – and help yourself to profits while other investors are paralysed by fear and indecision.
As exciting as that sounds, I realise this is a pretty big claim.
That's why if you agree to put my system to the test for yourself, I'll share my 'point of control' trading secret with you and show you how to construct your trades around it...
...even if I'm not 100% happy about giving away hard-won trading knowledge it's taken me a career to accumulate.
More on this in a moment. Right now you're probably wondering...
Who is this guy?
 Murray Dawes |
You know how the rich always seem to get richer?
Well I used to assume these 'fast-lane' guys made their fortunes by speculating big... pouring tons of cash into risky ventures... making huge bets... all without breaking a sweat.
I thought their 'devil-may-care' attitude to risk was what set them apart from the rest of us... what gave them their edge.
I was wrong.
These guys are motivated more by the fear of losing money.
That was always the first objective in any trade: don't lose.
So instead of taking huge risks with client's cash I focused on managing risk in a trade first and foremost.
I knew, if I could keep downside to a minimum, I'd make money for clients more often than not (and more importantly, never be out of work!)
Over a decade of trading – for hedge funds and on behalf of some extremely wealthy private families – I devised my three-phased trading technique.
The aim of my trading method is to secure your initial capital in the early stages of a trade so that...
You cannot lose money while the trade is open
|
My '1-2-3 rule' when used properly, makes it almost impossible to lose money on a trade.
Yes, you have to get to the phase one checkpoint to be secure – and there's always risk up to that point. You have to risk some money to establish a foothold in a trade.
You also have to make sure you set your trailing stop loss where I suggest and monitor it during the trade (I'll suggest adjustments throughout).
If the trade moves and you haven't adjusted your stop loss, you're taking an unnecessary risk with your money.
My strict method limits your exposure up to that phase one checkpoint to 2% of your total trading capital.
Once we hit that phase one target – and the likelihood of that is always based on my price distribution / 'point of control' method – we grab your capital back out of harm's way and trade from that point on with your profits.
If that idea interests you (and frankly, I haven't come across a better profit/ risk control approach in these uncertain markets) let me put something to you...
How YOU can trade the
ASX with much less risk
ASX with much less risk
First, let me be clear. I'm not going to teach you HOW to be a trader.
I'm not going to invite you to an expensive seminar in a cheap hotel... nor am I selling a 700-page trading manual or complicated piece of software on eight different DVDs.
My proposition is simple:
- If you're interested, I'd like to start emailing you details of all the trading opportunities my system flags up, along with the action I think you should take...
- I'll send you the name of the stock to buy (or sell), when to buy, at what price, and what stop loss level to set...
- I'll shoot you another email at our phase one checkpoint when I think you should take profits – including what percentage of your holding to take off the table. In that email I'll also tell you where to move your stop loss to so that you 'lock-in' gains whatever happens to the trade...
- I'll continue to update you by email through phases two and three– with detailed action to take – for as long as the position is open. Then, when the time is right, I'll send you an email with a very simple instruction: "SELL"...
Bank them, reinvest them, enjoy them.
Unlike my former colleagues in the Australian financial services industry I'm not after a single cent in commission from any trade you make.
How I can help you 'pedal' your way to profits
My email trade alert service – that I'd like to invite you to try out for 60 days with no obligation – is called Slipstream Trader.
'Slipstreaming' is a cycling metaphor that fits perfectly with what I do in the markets.
If you've ever watched a big cycle race, like the Tour de France, you'll know that the key to winning a stage is timing: knowing when to sit in the 'slipstream' of the rider in front of you (letting them do the hard work) and knowing which points in the race to attack.
It's exactly the same with trading. When I enter a trade I basically sit in the 'slipstream' of the price action, tucked in, out of harm's way until I reach phase 1 where my stake money is safe.
Then I reposition my stop loss and make my move – attacking that market for every buck of profit I can make while the momentum is with me.
This momentum carries me all the way to the finish where I take the spoils of victory!
And here's the deal:
I can put YOU in these winning positions
The markets have handed us a great opportunity to trade in the coming weeks and months – and I'd love you to be a part of it. But I ONLY want to hear from you if you're interested in trading the old fashioned way:
By that I mean: buy LOW – sell HIGH. No risky 'bets'. No furious day-trading. No emotion-driven calls.
To do this effectively – and by that I mean make money – you need two things:
- A timing system you trust to get you in and out at the right points to maximise your profits, whether the market is trading up or down
- A risk management system that protects your stake money as early as possible – then locks-in profits no matter what happens
|
These stocks are easy targets for me.
Why?
Simple: huge volumes of shares are traded in them every single day.
This makes it really easy for me to line up my sights and pick the best entry (and exit) point for our limited-risk trade.
And in case you were wondering, I take long AND short trading positions on these big stocks depending on how the market is looking – which means...
I can even help you profit when the market TANKS!
Please understand: Slipstream Trader is not a sure-shot – it's not like knowing which horse to bet on in a race.
It's more like figuring out which horses NOT to bet on: cover your losses first – when you've done that you can only win or (at the very worst) breakeven... whatever happens.
The other thing I must make clear is that we don't trade every day – and NEVER just for the sake of it.
Slipstream Trader is not like one of those 'plug-in-and-go' day-trading software programmes that promises 'ten trades a day' and 'triple-digit profits' every time you trade. That's not where I'm coming from at all.
What I know from almost two decades of trading the ASX is this:
> No one knows for sure how much profit any trade is likely to make. But it is possible to know the initial RISK in a trade – i.e. how much a trader is willing to lose... I prefer dealing with 'knowns' rather than 'unknowns' when I trade.So if you're looking for 'edge-of-the-seat' day-trading where you're glued to your computer screen for hours on end with your heart rate going through the roof, this will not be the service for you.
> There are usually only one or two moments during an entire trade where you have the chance to position yourself for a triple-digit winner while reducing your risk to virtually zero.
My aim is to help you make money – realistic sums of money – without the risk of you ending up homeless or laid up in bed with a stomach ulcer!
If that appeals to you, I'd like to invite you to take a 60-day no-commitment-required trial of the Slipstream Trader service.
That means you can put my recommendations to the test for the next two months – and see how well they do BEFORE committing to join my service as a full member (more details on this offer coming up).
How does that sound to you?
Let me put it a different way:
If you're intrigued by the idea of trading the ASX for fast profits and have been meaning to give it a go... but weren't sure where to start...You can become a member on a 60-day trial basis today. It doesn't matter to me whether you're a broker or a burger flipper, or how much trading experience you have right now.
If you like the idea of making money whether the market is up, down or sideways – but you're a little intimidated by complex charts and terminology...
If you think trading is something 'other people' do...
And if you're worried about being a 'buy-and-holder', risking lots of cash in the midst of all this market panic, my trade alert service is definitely for you...
If you want further explanation of my trading decisions, my wider view of the markets, or more of an insight into what I do that's fine. I send out a weekly email update to members that explains the Slipstream method – and my 1-2-3 rule – in greater depth, as well as keeping you up to date with the status of all our open trades.
I also post regular 'tutorial' videos on my members-only website using software that records my trading screens LIVE – so you can see EXACTLY what I'm looking at, and hear me as I explain what the markets are telling me, what indicators I use when looking for trades, and what I expect to happen next with our open positions...
But if you want good, clear, confident ideas about how to trade the markets right now, my email alert service makes it easy for you to just trade.
Here's how you can get my trade alert emails

Within that period you can cancel at any time for a full no-questions-asked refund – and no hard feelings from me.
I invite and encourage you to put my trading recommendations to the test for the next two months – risk free. To do so, just Click HERE.
Hopefully, you can see how confident I am that Slipstream Trader can make you money over the next 12 months.
In fact, it may be the ONLY way you're going to make money in the markets right now...
Why now is the perfect
time to join me
time to join me
As I sit down to write this letter (June 2010) world markets are all over the place.
Volatility is rife.
On 6th May the VIX index, the measure of volatility (and fear) in global equity markets, bounded up 63 percent to 42.1 – its highest level in a year – in response to the European debt crisis.
It then dropped nearly 30 percent on news that the European Central Bank and US Federal Reserve were preparing a colossal US$1.1 trillion bailout package.
Then, on 19th May, the VIX shot up again to 37.1 on news that Germany had banned the naked short-selling of certain stocks and euro zone debt and credit default swaps.
See - even the Volatility index is volatile!
No wonder 'buy-and-hold' investors are nervous.
And no wonder traders like Mark Umanski are using words like "frenzied" to describe the heightened panic coursing through stock markets right now.
That's ALL stock markets, by the way – even ours.
In the last few weeks the ASX had its worst two days of the year so far... and suffered its biggest weekly fall in 17 months... largely as a reaction to the financial turmoil in Europe.
On 6th May, some $25 billion was wiped of the value of Aussie shares, with resource and financial stocks getting hit hardest. The US Dow got whacked 3.2% on the same day.
Take away point: it might be happening more than 16,000kms away – but the chaos in European markets affects the value of your stocks too.
What's your plan? Panic and sell all your shares? Ride it out and hope for the best?
Do you even have a plan?
Slipstream Trader members have a plan.
You see, we "short-sell" stocks too. It's 100% legal in Australia. That means we can profit just as much when ASX200 shares fall as when they rise!
And that's just what we've been doing...
I've been planning our short trades since March
I've watched the charts and the news with increasing scepticism all year – particularly when I heard some of the projections being chucked about by some of the big banks and institutions (go figure – no one has a bigger vested interest in talking up stocks!)
AMP's head of investment strategy Shane Oliver's target for the ASX is 5,600 by year-end. He reckons: "the cyclical bull market has a lot further to go". His thinking:
"It would be unusual for a cyclical recovery in shares to end when leading economic indicators are still rising, earnings are still recovering from depressed levels, interest rates are so low and so many investors are still sitting in cash."Listen, everyone's got an opinion. I do too. The difference is, I've nothing to lose if shares nosedive. I just trade them on the downside!
To me, the 5,000 mark on the ASX200 was a key level. My indicators told me the opposite of what Shane Oliver believes: instead of the market powering UP towards the 5,600 mark, I felt the 5,000 level was the market's cue to tank.
On 23rd March this year I warned Slipstream Trader members in a video alert that if the ASX 200 hit 5,000 points, this would put the market in a sell zone.
I also started planning a pair of big short-trades... on a couple of big Australian stocks...
Lo and behold – look what happened...
|
Turns out I was right to be concerned.
Events transpired precisely as my charts predicted...
Click 'play' to the right and watch the short video I sent out to Slipstream Trader members on May 5th. You'll see the ASX hitting 5,000 points in early May and then immediately turning downwards – like I said it would...
Look, this was a bad day for lots of Aussie investors, so I won't dwell on it. Suffice it to say that as soon as I saw this coming, I recommended a couple of short trades to Slipstream Trader members...
How we locked-in profit when the ASX tanked
As long as you focus on limiting your capital risk, you can be just as effective on the short side when markets are tanking as you can as the long side when markets are booming.
That's why, in times of huge market volatility – like RIGHT NOW – it pays to have a few short trades on the go as a hedge to your buy-and-hold positions.
Here are two I recommended to Slipstream Trader members as soon as I picked up the whiff of correction (still open at time of writing, so I can't give you their names)...
- SHORT TRADE #1: Huge mining stock... on April 13th I emailed Slipstream Trader members and instructed them to short-sell this Aussie blue chip miner at $43.84. We took phase 1 profits on April 23rd at $41.97 and moved our stop loss down. On May 5th, I sent another email instructing them to take phase 2 profits at $38 (the stock then rallied to $38.74 so my timing was spot on!) At time of writing we're in phase 3 of this short trade – so profits are GUARANTEED!
- SHORT TRADE #2: Major Aussie Bank... on April 19th I sent another email to Slipstream Trader members instructing them to short-sell this huge Australian bank's stock at $27.80. We sat in the 'slipstream' of the price as it plunged, before hitting our phase 1 target of $27 on April 29th. Here we took 1/3 profits and moved our stop down. We made our move the day before a rebound of 60c... but that didn't affect us! On May 20th we took phase 2 profits at $22.25. At the time of writing we're sitting nicely in phase 3 of this trade – which, again, means a GUARANTEED profit for Slipstream Trader members... whatever happens!
And when it does come, investors tend to go into a blind panic. Instead of calmly moving to manage their losses, they flap, dither and generally make things worse for themselves.
That's why you need a buy and sell system that works just as well on the short side as it does when the markets are on the up... and someone to tell you – clearly – what you need to do and when.
Slipstream Trader members didn't panic in the recent sell-off.
Because while everyone else was getting whacked – I was quietly showing them how they could profit on the short side. To me it's simple:
It's the difference between winning
intelligently and losing ignorantly
intelligently and losing ignorantly
I'd like to help you in the same way if you want. You don't have to commit here and now to full membership of the Slipstream Trader service – you can take a 60-day risk free trial of my trade alert service by clicking HERE.
In your trial period you'll get ALL my live trade recommendation emails, full portfolio management, every update, special video alerts and tutorials – plus I'll send you two free reports – which explain in detail how to use my service – that you can keep even if you don't decide to stay on as a full member.
Look, I know how difficult is to keep a cool head and make sensible investment decisions at the moment, when markets are all over the place and your money is on the line.
Many investors are in the middle of a dilemma right now: If I stay in the game will I recoup my losses? Is it better to get out now and avoid any further damage?
It's a sensitive, emotional time. And it's difficult to know what to do for the best.
That's why I urge you to act today and take a 60-day risk-free trial of my Slipstream Trader service. Do so, and I'll include you on all of my email trade alerts and updates – including details of any further hedge positions I think you should take on the short side.
I can't completely remove the risk from investing – but I CAN take away some of the panic and uncertainty you might be feeling at the moment. Let me be clear:

The way I see it, you don't go to a posh restaurant, wander into the kitchen and cook your own Beef Wellington. That's what you pay a professional chef for.
I'm a professional trader. I do all the analysis, assess and manage the risk and present my trading ideas to you in a short email.
You don't need prior knowledge of the markets to use the Slipstream Trader service. You don't need a trading account of thousands of dollars. You don't even need to own any stocks right now.
You just need to have an email account that you can check regularly, and the ability to follow a few simple instructions.
It's entirely up to you whether you trade according to my advice or not – but the action to take will always be clear to understand and easy to follow if you do.
If you can follow a simple email instruction
you can use my 1-2-3 rule every time you trade
you can use my 1-2-3 rule every time you trade
There's nothing complicated about what I'm doing here. I'm recommending the same types of stocks all your mates have in their portfolios. The difference with me is that I don't believe you have to be passive in the market once you've bought these shares!
While all your friends are holding on to their ASX 200 stocks ad infinitum, I can help you trade them – make fast in-and-out gains... avoid sharp corrections... and potentially DOUBLE your overall returns from these large-cap stocks...
Here (right) is one of my email alerts in its entirety so you can see how easy using the Slipstream Trader service is.
The trade alerts are short and to-the-point. The explanation is brief and the action to take is clear.
From here, simply pick up the phone to your broker and repeat my direction verbatim – or go online and complete your transaction that way.
Be clear:
There's no other service like this in Australia
You won't find any other trading service that emails real-time, confidential buy AND sell recommendations to your inbox with a short explanation of why my indicators suggest a good trading opportunity, and clear instruction of the action you need to take: the stock to buy (or sell) and the price to enter (and exit) the position.
No one else will monitor that trade on your behalf, prompting you of further action to take – whether it's adjusting your stop loss to secure your stake or selling your holding to take a profit... a profit which, incidentally, is 100 percent YOURS.
To get this kind of one-to-one trade management you'd normally have to sign over your cash to a professional wealth manager – someone who'd charge you thousands of dollars for his time (with no guarantees) and take a fat slice of any profits you make.
And you CERTAINLY won't find any trader confident enough to offer you a 60-day, absolutely-no-argument money back 'safety-net' like I'm prepared to do.
What's more – with Slipstream Trader, your success is NOT dependent on stocks being in a perpetual bull market.
That's why it's such a great service to be a part of at the moment.
|
This is not a day-trading service. Please don't expect an email from me every day.
I WILL NOT RECOMMEND A TRADE unless my indicators tell me there's a good opportunity to profit.
And I will sit in the 'slipstream' of a price until I'm ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CONVINCED the time is right to attack.
I'll wait a day, a week, a month – whatever it takes to be certain that I'm not risking your cash unnecessarily.
Please understand – the markets are very precarious at the moment; if we're going to do this, we're going to do it responsibly.
Follow my trading advice to the letter and you'll limit your initial capital risk to almost zero once we get past phase 1 of a trade. This is the approach that has worked pretty well for me and my clients over the last fifteen years – in all kinds of markets.
It's not the quickest way to trade
the markets – but it's MY way
the markets – but it's MY way
If you're looking to trade the markets every day, this is not the service for you.
If you're impatient and want to day-trade, my best advice is to Google: 'trading software' and go for something with a reliable market data feed you can plug straight into your PC.
Something like that will set you back around $3,000 - $5,000.
And bear in mind, you might not make that outlay back since 80 percent of active day traders lose money (see box) but that's your call.
Of course, you may still believe buying and holding stocks is the way forward, even after the recent ASX correction – its worst in SEVENTEEN MONTHS – the European debt crisis... and highest stock market volatility in a year.
If that's the case there's probably nothing more I can say to you. I wish you the best of luck. You'll need it.
But if you're still with me...
This is your chance to do something positive now
Click HERE to take a 60-day completely risk free trial to Slipstream Trader today and you'll get instant access to a service that...
- Is unique in Australia: No other email service gives you trade entry and exit points, structures trades the way I do or manages your risk from start to finish...
- Throws up no nasty surprises: Your 'phase 1' target and stop loss are set in stone from the beginning of the trade. There's no second guessing once you enter a trade – so your emotions (every investor's biggest enemy) are kept completely out of the decision making process.
- Helps you trade with minimal risk: you'll be following my proven '1-2-3' rule which aims to lock away your stake so that it's almost impossible to lose money while the trade is open. The more controlled your risk is, the more flexible you can be when it's time to move out of the slipstream and attack the market.
- Keeps you in the game until the big win comes: My system is based on keeping overall volatility as low as possible while still allowing exposure to large upside. If that means going sideways all month and then making 30% in one week – so be it. Forget what those day-trading presentations say: you never know when the big win will come. The idea is to stay in the game long enough so that you're in position when it does.
- Helps you trade the market up AND down: Not having a 'short-selling' strategy at the moment is like boxing with one arm tied behind your back. As long as your opponent is on one side of you, you're fine. But if he surprises you with an attack from the other side, you're stuffed. Slipstream Trader frees up that arm so you can attack the market – and defend your investments – no matter where the momentum is.
Then let's get down to business
A year's membership of the Slipstream Trader service costs $1,495.
No special offers, no discounts. That's what it costs to get my confidential buy and sell recommendations – and complete trade and portfolio management – for a year.
In this market, I'm confident my trading tips will be worth every cent of that – and most likely a whole lot more.
But if you cannot comfortably afford to pay this membership fee, then you probably shouldn't be trading stocks at all.
Along with your trade alert emails I'll also send you:
Slipstream Trader Primer: This members-only report outlines my manifesto for making trading gains from large cap stocks in the coming months. You'll get a full run-down on my 'point of control' theory and my '1-2-3' technique for creating risk-free trades. I'll also show you what each email alert will contain, and how to act on them with minimal fuss. Read it right away, before you review anything else
Guide on how to 'short-sell' stocks: entitled "How to make money from shares that go down", this is essential reading for any trader who is concerned about the markets in their current state. If you've never 'shorted' a stock before, now's the time to learn! This report explains, step-by-step, exactly how to do it.
Both of these reports are yours to keep – with my compliments – even if you decide not to continue into full membership once your 60-day trial period expires.
How your 60-day trial works
Listen, I know that even for a serious investor $1,495 is a lot of money – especially when you don't know me from Adam. That's why I want to give you plenty of time to evaluate the service and to make sure it's right for you – BEFORE you commit to paying for a full-year's membership.
Sign up today and you'll have 60 days to test-run Slipstream Trader, risk free...
This should give you enough breathing space to watch the trades evolve. If for whatever reason you want to cancel your subscription in the first 60 days, just let me know.
Your money will be refunded promptly and in full.
You have to agree that's a pretty fair offer.
But be clear: if you're in, I want you to seriously give this a go.
I want you to remember that this trading service manages your risk as its first priority.
Limiting your risk early on ensures you're able to attack with full force when the time is right to move out of the 'slipstream'. It also ensures your average winner will be greater than your average loser.
Can you imagine being in a position where you can't possibly lose money on a trade?
The best way I can describe it is like playing Russian roulette and knowing the chamber is empty: the risk is all but eliminated, the reward is guaranteed – and the adrenaline rush is incredible!
If you want to sample this feeling for yourself I'd love to hear from you. Don't put this off – Click HERE now and let's start your 60-day trial.
Best regards,
Murray Dawes

PS: Need More Information? Read This!
If you're new to trading I expect you have hundreds of questions bubbling away in your mind. I've tried to answer some of these below, but don't worry; everything is explained fully in your free Slipstream Trader primer. And remember, each trade is fully managed by me when you become a member. You won't be left to figure anything out yourself!
| Q:I'm new to this and have never traded. Is this right for me? |
| A: This might even be to your advantage. You'll have no preconceived ideas and will probably make a better trader; not so driven by your emotions. The Slipstream Trader Primer takes you from the basics right up to placing your first trade. |
| Q:Is Slipstream Trader a training course? |
| A: NO! This service is for busy investors who are simply looking for the benefit of a professional trader's advice. I put plenty of video tutorials on my members'-only website if you want to learn more - but if you just want simple buy and sell tips, and advice on which stocks to trade and where to set your stop-loss positions, this service is for you. |
| Q: How do I actually place my trade? |
| A: Easy. You just need a trading account with a broker - you can trade over the phone with them, or online. It's the quickest and easiest thing in the world. Most often you can just repeat my trade alert verbatim... placing a trade takes about a minute from start to finish. This is not something that takes up hours and hours of your day. |
| Q: Do I have to make a lot of complicated calculations? |
| A: None at all! I do all the analysis, strategic planning and trade management for you. I calculate your entry points, stop loss positions and exit points. You don't have to do any maths at all - just follow the clear instruction in my emails. If it helps, our 'phase 1' profit target is always set in stone before we move out of the slipstream and attack the trade. That removes any uncertainty from our play - it means you can trade decisively, with confidence, knowing there'll be no nasty surprises. |
| Q: How much time does it take? |
| A: My trade alert emails will always be short and to the point. A brief explanation of why I think you should trade a particular stock, along with a very clear direction of the action you need to take if you want to follow my trade recommendation. It's always up to you if you want to trade. The email takes less than a minute to read. Then you go online or call your broker and place the trade - which takes another two minutes tops. We're not talking about a massive imposition on your day - though it will help if you're close to a PC or mobile phone with internet access so you can look out for my emails. |
| Q: Will we be trading every day? |
| A: No. The key to being a successful Slipstream Trader is patience. Impatient day traders lose far more trades than they win. The key to success is to only trade when you think you can make money (go figure) and to keep your risk tightly controlled while you work out whether the trade has legs. That means sitting in the 'slipstream' of a price, tucked out of harm's way until you're sure it's time to attack. Overtrading is one of the main reasons most 'newbies' end up losing big bucks. We might be dormant for a few days - even weeks - then the market changes and we'll enter five slipstream trades in quick succession. If you want to join this service, you have to put a little trust in the system that's served me and my clients well over the past 15 years. |
| Q: Is this risky? Could I lose a lot of money? |
| A: With trading there's always the potential to lose big. But if you follow my advice to the letter, you'll find Slipstream Trader to be one of the least risky trading methods you could ever use. In 15 years of using my 1-2-3 method I have NEVER put large sums of my clients' money at risk... I tend to risk just 3-6% of clients' stake in the initial stages of a trade to see if I'm right about the price action. As soon as I know I am, the stake is taken as a profit - then we're in a position where we cannot possibly lose money on a trade. Once we get into phase 3 of a trade, profits are GUARANTEED. I have never seen another trading service in Australia minimises the risk to your capital as effectively as Slipstream Trader does. |
| Q: How much money should I stake in each trade? |
| A: This is down to you. As a rule of thumb, with a 1% risk on each trade you get to have 100 wrong trades in a row before you are wiped out. If you're risking 5% per trade then that falls to 20 trades. I would recommend that you don't risk any more than 2% on each trade, but you might want to raise that a little once you have some profits in the kitty. |
| Q: Can I use leverage with your recommendations? |
| A: That's completely up to you. I wouldn't recommend it if you're a beginner. You can simply use my alerts as trade 'flags' to buy and sell large-cap stocks for short to medium term gains. Or if you're a little more advanced you can use leveraged mechanisms if you want to 'bet' yourself a bigger stake in a trade. |
| Q: Will you be recommending short trades? |
| A: Yes, absolutely. Especially at the moment. The market only crashed two years ago and I believe there's more turmoil to come - certainly if the events of the past few weeks are anything to go by. In the current climate it's wise to have as many trading techniques at your fingertips as possible. Shorting can help reduce risk by helping to create a more market neutral position for the overall portfolio during times of market stress. If you've never shorted stocks before don't worry - when you take a 60-day trial of Slipstream Trader you'll get a guide that takes you through 'shorting' step-by-step. |
| Q: Why are you giving away your trades? |
| A: Well, I'm not - that's what the subscription fee is for! Look, I've been doing this for so long it's in my blood. I'm fascinated by how markets move technically and I'm always going to be analysing charts. It's no skin off my nose passing these recommendations to you. And because we only trade large cap stocks, we're never going to buy and sell in large enough volumes to actually move the market massively. |
| Q: What if I get stuck? |
| A: First - don't panic. Second, as a Slipstream Trader you'll have direct phone access to my customer services team, plus your own priority email hotline where you can ask me any questions relating to the trades, my thoughts on the markets or any other question related to your subscription. Slipstream Trader is a premium service and you'll be treated like a premium client. I want you to make money from my trades, and I want the service to be easy for you to follow so that it doesn't take up too much of your time - or fill your head with stress - every time you trade. |
