“And our Supply Index, which was divergent at the February highs in the S&P, today signaled a potential uptrend by breaking above the May 2019 highs today in a bear market signal. The mechanical strategy is already sidelined from our other defenses”—Comment from February 27, 2020 issue of REED$TRADER DAILY COMMENTARY

How much money would you have saved if you were completely out of stocks on February 24th?

A comment is from the content you will learn in REED$TRADER 101:

“One of the great advantages of internals is that they force you to focus on what investors are doing and not on what they are saying. Our short-term trigger point of 70% down-volume accompanied by 5 distribution days came on Feb 21 just two days after the all-time highs on the S&P, with our Bear Market signal coming just three days later. Since that first warning day, we have had eight 90% down-days and three 80% down-days over the next eighteen trading days for the largest conflagration of these intense one-sided selling panic sessions in market history, including the crash of 1929, the two months of meltdown into the Oct-Nov 2008 momentum bottom of the GFC, and even the 1987 crash.”—Comment from March 23, 2020 issue of REED$TRADER DAILY COMMENTARY

“You will learn how to see this setup yourself after taking our Stock Market Timing Workshop. The REED$TRADER System is appropriate for novice and expert alike. All students will come away with a high-powered trading system that can be used in any kind of account.” — Chuck Whitman and Mark Boucher, REED$TRADER System Developers

A message from Chuck Whitman of Reedstrader:

Our System is called the REED$TRADER System because it is intended to be a flexible system used to read the market.

The system can be used to trade in any market environment including the volatile market we are currently seeing.

Historically, our system has had some of its best years in down years for the stock market.

During the financial crisis, REED$TRADER Mechanical System made 55% in 2007 and 73% in 2008. The reason we had these returns is that we trade BOTH Long and Short. We currently are sitting in 100% cash waiting to deploy shorts on the next rally. As a result, our system can help build your portfolio consistently over time regardless of the market environment!!!

“As followers of Dr. Tharp, you know the 5 Components of Trading: Psychology, Position Sizing, Market and Strategy Selection, Exits and Entries. My name is Chuck Whitman. I am one of the first students of Van’s Super Trader program. I have talked and worked with many of Van’s Super Traders. Market and Strategy selection is the area where I see many traders struggle.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE BIGGEST AREA WHERE IMPROVED GAINS CAN BE FOUND.

Traders New and Experienced:

• Would you love to trade with a system that reliably makes money regardless of whether the market was going up or down?

• How about if that system could juice the returns in your retirement accounts without the worry of large drawdowns in the next Bear market?

• And what if that system, in a few minutes each week, could help you identify the best five stocks to trade?

If yes, this workshop is for you! 

This Reedstrader Mechanical Trading System is a rules-based trading system for use on stocks and ETFs. It is simple enough to be learned by novices and can be executed in minutes per week. It also can be rapidly adopted by experienced professionals, adding a defendable edge to their trading process. The system can help you generate larger gains regardless of your trading performance so far.

BONUSES:

“One Part of the report is the Mechanical Reeds Strategy. This is a relatively simple strategy that can be executed in about 5 minutes a day using EOD order entries. This to me is quite appealing for those that can’t be in front of the screen when the market opens and still want to be able to manage their own money. The nice part about the mechanical strategy is that it doesn’t consume much mental capital and tells you when to get in and when to get out. This system has been running for many years and the system’s performance is remarkable. So far this year it has been outperforming the S&P which is what the system has been designed to do.” — Dominic Boire, Van Tharp SuperTrader Student ([email protected])

“I thoroughly enjoyed and thought the course taught by Mark & Chuck was worth many times the cost of the couple days. I could take any of the multiple sessions & state the value of the course was well worth any one of them alone. Chuck & Mark balance each other out and both have tremendous knowledge of the markets. My favorite part of the course was Chuck’s session when he went through Market Profile, it alone was worth the price of admission. Overall, I highly recommend attending this course!” —R. Wize, VTI customer.

“I have learned a tremendous amount from Reedstrader with so much more to learn. Thank you for all your hard work and willingness to share your knowledge with others. With every other subscription, I’ve felt as though they were just doing it for the guaranteed income and holding key pieces back. I don’t have that same feeling with Reedstrader.”—Rui Luo Van Tharp SuperTrader Student

“In December you explained how to hedge with vix. In Mark’s newsletters and updates he also discussed this aspect of portfolio management. I was a bit nervous about the repo thing in December. As a result, I bought a hedge using the guidelines you presented. This hedge was a reasonable cost for the protection it offered in spite of the event not happening. As a result – I’ve stopped selling puts as I could sense the market type was changing. I tightened up stops on holdings I had and got stopped out at 1R for a few things I added in the short term here. The best thing I did by far was to hedge what I had open and put on a very affordable position to do that (VIXY). This position is still open now and has a 7R stop of protected profit. In general, as my open positions were stopped out, I was able to trail this profitable position. It’s a nice start for me in 2020 here, to be out of the way of this correction. Now I am in an excellent position to rebuild my cash accounts and my retirement accounts following Yours and Mark’s principles.”—Tom Osborne, SuperTrader Student

The Reedstrader System courses will be taught by both Chuck Whitman as well as Mark Boucher. These are low-cost workshops offered for the Van Tharp community.

The Reedstrader System has deep research behind it and a long-standing track record. The research suggests that the benefits of this system are not fleeting, and the track record shows that this edge is likely to endure in the marketplace.  Components of the strategy have been traded by these traders in real-time for market-beating profits for decades.

If learning a massive edge that has shown 40%+ annual profits over a decade via a mechanical strategy could improve your trading, then you likely can’t afford to miss these courses. They are hands-on, practical, and built to help you emerge from the class with trade-ready strategies in hand.

Your Instructors:

Chuck Whitman

I have been involved in trading since I was 14 years old. I have been a successful options trader, spreader, trading educator, CEO, Macro trader, and Asset Manager.

I have a broad array of experience and skills that I have developed over the years. I’ve traded by myself, with others, with small amounts of money, and with very large amounts of money. Over the years I’ve traded every asset class and I trained traders to trade in many different styles.

However, even with all the knowledge, I have accumulated over the years, I can say the market selection aspect has been the most challenging. I struggled to sort through a world of many opportunities to find the BEST opportunities. Mark Boucher played an instrumental role for me in solving this issue.

Mark was the first to show me the power of combining fundamental research (Mark calls this fundamental fuel) with technical models. Mark demonstrated to me that the best trends all had fundamental fuel behind them. This fundamental fuel created trends that were longer and had fewer corrections and more shallow corrections than typical trends.

Mark showed me how to scan for top fundamental fuel in stocks. Once I had the list of top fundamental names, I could then put them through scans of technical criteria and I had the confidence to know that I could purse trading these names with lower risk than the patterns alone.

This method that Mark uses is called REEDS. I convinced Mark that this strategy was so powerful and simple that we could help people to have greater clarity on what to trade as a result. He has agreed to be a co-presenter with me in this workshop. I’m excited to introduce Mark to the Van Tharp community.

Mark Boucher

My name is Mark Boucher. I have been a trader and fund manager for over 30 years. During that time I have been an active trader and investor in all asset classes including Equities, Fixed Income, FX, Commodities, Real Estate, corporate debt, and structured notes.

When I was nine years old my Dad passed away at a young age. I was given a trust of stocks to fund my college education. The trust was managed by a bank, but it began managing the money right as the Bear Market of the 70’s hit and my portfolio was cut by 80%. I learned at a young age the power of drawdowns when I was left without enough money to pay for my college education.  As a result, I started trading stocks when I was 16 years old to support myself through college.

During my time trading stocks, I have always noticed the challenges posed by the volatility in stocks and investing in stocks that don’t move.  To be a successful investor, we must generate strong annual COMPOUNDED returns.  This means controlling our drawdowns in addition to generating gains annually. The evolution of my stock trading has included a multi-faceted approach that seeks to optimize capital, improve selectivity, focusing on vehicles that are actively trending, and minimizing drawdowns. My methods have undergone years of refinement and now produce exceptional returns.

We’ve been publishing our list of Top EPS/RS low PEG stocks each month since 1992 and the overall list has demonstrated consistent outperformance in good markets and bad.   And our list of Bottom EPS/RS high PEG stocks has shown consistent underperformance for potential short-hedging during this period too.  But in the last decade, I’ve discovered new ways to cull this list down to a handful of top performers within the list itself, as well as how to rotate to only those stocks among the top tier that also meet technical criteria that really pulls this together and boosts performance consistently.

I’ve also improved how and when to use short-hedging to profit from bear markets, but not negatively impact performance at other times – and this combination I call the REEDS strategy that has never been revealed before. I’m eager to introduce this to the Van Tharp community.
