One Simple Trade?!?

The strategy I'm tell you about is called "One Simple Trade" for a reason... it IS just one trade...

How can you make a living with just one trade?

Well you can't really...

You see "One Trade" was not developed to be a full-time trading strategy.

The guy who developed it used it as a "backup" trading strategy to catch moves he might have missed when his primary trading strategy didn't trigger a trade... (so this helped him catch moves he would have missed otherwise...)

Because it wasn't his big money maker, he decided to try promoting on the internet...

After a few months of no sales, he got bored of it and contacted me and asked if I wanted to buy it...

Now I looked at it, and actually liked it BECAUSE it took advantage of THE VERY SAME trading opportunity I personally traded every day... BUT his method was 100% easier to use BECAUSE of the way he designed it...

And that's where things get interesting...

You see when I agreed to buy it, he made 1 condition...

"You will not get the formula to the method."

Huh?

"What good is a trading strategy without the formula?" I asked him...

He agreed, but then explained...

"The strategy itself uses 2 numbers - one to determine the direction of the trade, and another to determine the entry point...

The thing is, these number aren't 100% mechanical...

While it does have some calculations, the final figure is a combination of that calculation and some other 'x-factors' or gut feel - I then 'massage' these numbers to get my figures for the following trading day."

He continued...

"It's kind of like how Marty Schwartz explains it [in the book Market Wizards] - you kinda adjust things based on the overall market and experience..."

Despite this quirky condition, I agreed to proceed because:

  1. I trusted this guy since I worked with this guy and he seemed honest enough...
  2. He was known to have a knack at coming up with innovative strategies. (Despite being a little eccentric in his own right.)

So how does this strategy work? Let's take a look...
