Good Evening, Traders!
I hope you had a great weekend! As we prepare for another week of trading, I wanted to take a moment and share some of my insights on how to use a time-tested formula for growth.
If implemented correctly, this formula will help you expand your trading account! While you aren’t going to win every trade, you can make sure that your wins outnumber your losses.
By analyzing your trading habits in blocks, you can gain a better understanding of your success. The formula will also allow you to calculate your win/loss percentage in future trades. That’s a critical step toward becoming a winner in futures trading!
But how does it work? Keep reading to find out!Formula For Growth
Trading is never viewed as simply one, two, three, or four trades. For you to have a better understanding of how the formula works, we’ll call ten trades “one block”. Keep in mind that you should always set a minimum of a 10-trade block to increase your chances of success. Placing ten or more trades will help you generate more profit.

Here’s the scenario: If you’re winning $100 a time, that would be a total of $600 in winnings and $400 in losses. If you win half and half, you’ll break even. If you lose six trades and win four trades, you lose $200. Knowing that this could happen, you can adjust the amount of trade you put in to gain more profit.

I’m going to stop right here for a moment and talk about something my colleague Ross Givens is doing because it’s extremely important!
Insider stock purchases and ownership are solid ways to measure the true value of a company. Even seasoned traders like me can only know things about a company based on outside information available to everyone.
That’s why seeing insiders buying stock in their own companies can be a sign that something big is about to happen.
And that’s what Ross tracks with his Insider Edge strategy. That’s why I’m sharing this unique opportunity with you. As a dedicated reader of Daily Direction, you’ll get a ton of value from Ross and his picks.
Ross will give a live presentation on Tuesday, which will include some fresh stock recommendations that will serve as the foundation for the beginning of Insider Edge. I urge you to attend the presentation. There’s so much you can learn from Ross.

Now, back to my formula…
Adjusting the Formula: Risk vs Reward
Say that you see you’re going to win double the amount that you lose, or you’re trying to win $200 per trade. By fielding six trades, you’ll get $1,200. With the formula mentioned above, all you have to do is double, triple, quadruple, or add more to your initial trade to win more profit in the end. So, for six trades, you might get $1,200, but you’ll lose $400. All in all, you’ll end up with a net gain of $800 for every ten trades.

The Bottom Line
First, you’ll need a strategy. You have to know how to find direction, where you need to enter the market, where to place your stops and limits, and more importantly, how to have fun while doing so.
Let’s say that for every 10 trades you place, you make $1000, and that is one trading block. In order for you to get that first $5,000, you have to do it five times, and you have to trade five blocks.
And that’s the core of my formula. With this information, you’re ready to start plotting a course to trading success! But don’t do it alone. I’m here to offer my knowledge and experience you help you get there!
Keep On Trading,
