The Trading Trade-Off No One Talks About

Hey friend,

Nothing much on the economic calendar today.

The Fed meets tomorrow, and delivers its rate decision Wednesday.

Let’s see how the markets have been moving.

The Daily Direction

Note: All indexes closed mixed last week and have also been mixed today. All index directions for the Dow are back upward.

The Daily Nugget

Every advantage comes with a disadvantage.

There is no perfect position in the market.

Every advantage comes with a trade-off.

Take the individual trader.

You may not have a team of analysts…

Access to company management…

Or billions of dollars behind you.

You certainly cannot push a stock higher by yourself.

But you do have one major advantage.

You are small.

You can buy a position in seconds.

You can sell just as quickly.

You can move from one stock to another without anybody noticing.

And unless you are trading a very thin stock, your order will barely move the price.

That gives you speed and flexibility.

The big funds have the opposite problem.

A hedge fund, pension fund or mutual fund may have better research…

More information…

And enough capital to create a major move.

But that size comes with a cost.

If a fund wants to buy several million shares, it cannot simply hit the “buy” button once.

The price would jump before it finished building the position.

So it has to buy slowly.

A little today.

More on the next pullback.

Then another block when sellers appear.

That process can take days, weeks or even months.

And while the fund may try to stay quiet…

Buying that much stock eventually leaves a mark. It leaves clues.

In other words, the fund’s greatest advantage is also its weakness.

Its size gives it the power to move the market.

But that same size makes its buying difficult to hide.

That gives smaller traders an opportunity.

You do not need to move the stock yourself.

You simply need to spot where the biggest buyers may already be doing it for you.

That’s the reason why every week Ross and his team go LIVE to break down the market in real time and highlight these “big money” opportunities.

And as part of our “Christmas in July” sale…

You can get access to a full year of these sessions for just 5 bucks.

But today is the LAST day to take advantage of this deal…

So go ahead and click here to grab it before it’s gone.
