The fact that you arrived at this page indicates you are searching for something that is better then what you are doing now. Although
not consciously aware of it, we think we will find that magical strategy, that one way that turns the tables in our direction. We make an
outward search and we find plenty of answers from those who wish to profit from our desire to find that one answer of making consistent
profits in the stock market. It really doesn't matter what we're looking for there are an abundance of products, solutions, and answers to
just about anything we can think of. My observation of this phenomenon is that most change must come from within because most
problems we experience that are perceived as outside ourselves actually come from within and are internal problems. Blaming externals
is a good way to avoid improving. Trading stocks is no different in that it is usually internal psychological traits that keep us from
achieving our objective which is growing our accounts. Before we go any further, let me be clear up front:
Ted Warren Trading is not selling any magical trading strategy or service that will make you a better trader
or make your account grow.
Okay, for those of you who are still here. Our web pages look impressive showing examples of successful trades in both futures and
stocks but this does not mean you can duplicate those results easily. In order to be successful you have to follow our disciplined
approach which is what allows you to have control over your emotions. In addition, you need to be emotionally intelligent. This sounds
like a neat little saying but what does that essentially mean? A comprehensive and responsible answer would take enough pages to fill
a book but it boils down to understanding how our emotions operate within us and how they affect subsequent decisions. Much of which
has largely been determined by the time we are five years old. It would take quite some time for each and everyone of us to study our
emotions and be able to recognize the roles emotion plays in every area of our lives. That is not to say that all our emotions are
irrational or poorly formed but that it takes only one poorly formed attitude or experience with money or decision making to create a
destructive pattern that is difficult to recognize and change. When it comes to our attitudes about money, acquiring and managing it,
emotions often play a critical role in whether we are successful or not. Ted Warren Trading discipline has evolved to negate emotions
that foster bad habits which can be detrimental to our trading bottom line. There are several reasons why our method of trading
addresses problems of an emotional nature. Our method follows defined rules that when followed remove greed and fear from your
trading. The following is a list of habits you will find hard to admit to yourself let alone change; however, if you can give us a chance we
may be able to prove to you that it is your internal discipline and psychological makeup that are keeping you from trading successfully.
You will not be convinced by merely reading this list. You must be proactive and ready to try a new style of approaching the stock
market. One that is based on acquiring wealth methodically and the through discipline of calculated risk. Our methods wait for specific
signs and we are idle most of the time either waiting for trades to activate or holding our existing positions. We may go months with
large sums of money doing nothing but that is okay because we know why we are waiting and what we are waiting for and our results
show that this method works.
There are literally hundreds of reasons more I could list and if just one of the previous statements holds a shred of truth then it canderail your trading and cause untold damage to your bottom line. This is where Ted Warren Trading will attempt to demonstrate how
slow methodical and disciplined trading neutralizes the ability of your own emotions to sabotage your trading account. The question you
really need to ask yourself is do you want excitement and thrills or do you want profits? The following example shows how involving
yourself in as little as four successful trades per year will result in performance you can live with. If you are not satisfied with our
demonstration and desire faster or higher returns then you need to move on and good luck.

The following example is just a representation of what could be accomplished using our method by placing buy orders for our Market
Watch stocks at their predetermined Trigger Alert prices and then waiting. While it is an exception, there are times when our stock
selections move through our Trigger Alert and are activated only to fall back below that price. We ordinarily suggest selling with no
more than a 15% loss. This is known as a false breakout and the occurrence of this is low, generally happening on average of one
stock every 12 months or so. When false breakouts do occur they generally retreat rather quickly within a months time. Although none
occurred during the following example we have included two such misfires in our example so that you realize that winning trades are not
always going to occur. Picking two such stocks would be extremely bad luck as timing of when previous trades were over and when new
recommendations had their false breakouts would have to line up sequentially so it is unlikely you would run into that many in six years
time. We are starting with an account that contains $5,000.00 but accounts with other amounts can use percentages to determine their
outcomes. For example an account with just $2,500.00 would just use 50% of the values to figure out where they would currently stand.
January 2003 we started with $5,000.00. Our recommendation is that you use no more than 20% of available capital for anyone trade.
Technically, you do not need to be invested in any more than four stocks at a time which will work out nicely leaving a 20% cushion in
your account for any problems or unsuspecting opportunities that come along. So our trades will be limited to $1,000 per trade initially.
Once you take a profit you use 80% of that profit for your next trade and save 20% except on losing trades you reinvest 100% because
you have already banked 20% previously. The 20% is used to pay any taxes and keep you constantly saving some of your profit.
At the Market Watch Alert in October of 2002 you decide you will place an order for 250 shares of TACT to be bought when the price
reaches $4.00 the Trigger Alert price. You place your order and wait. It really does not matter whether TACT is activated or not you
are simply waiting for any number of Market Watch Alert stocks you have placed buy orders for to activate. They won't be purchased
if you do not have funds available for them. So, in essence you could place an order for all the stocks you liked without worrying about
it. The first ones to make it to their Trigger Alert prices would be activated. Number of shares purchased would be determined by the
Trigger Alert price and 20% of your total account value. Your first purchase did not come until April 2003 and the first four purchases
that were activated are: TACT, TINY, YZC, and ADPI. The trades are color coded because 80% of the profit is used to purchase the
next available stock that hits its Trigger Alert and the other 20% stays in your account as insurance. Sixteen trades have been made
over a period of six years which equates to just a little over three trades per year. You will notice that there are waiting times between
selling dates and reinvestment in new trades because we are waiting for a new Trigger Alert to be activated. We do nothing until that
happens. There is no urgency just waiting for the right conditions to trade.

DISCLAIMER: This is just an example of what could be accomplished picking these exact stocks following our buying and exit strategies under ideal trading
conditions. It is not likely you will obtain the same results as the choice of individual stocks and individual trader decisions will affect any results. Past
performance can be no guarantee of future results. Trading in stocks and futures runs the risk of losing your entire investment and in futures you could lose
more than your initial investment. Any decision to trade should be your own and based on due diligence and each individual's financial situation. This

the 20% saved in the account for backup and tax purposes. This shows the variability of trade sequences and earned profits.

The resulting profit of the OFG trade had to be split into two trades (April 2008) due to number of shares being purchased being too high for one stock.
