The 4 Steps to Trading Stocks with The Wizard

Step 1: CHECK THE MARKET’S TREND

Step 2: CHECK FOR BUY OR SELL SIGNALS

Step 3: SELECT YOUR STOCKS

Step 4: PLACE YOUR ORDERS WITH YOUR BROKER


Part 2: Check the Market’s TrendSee today’s trend with Market Trends.


Step 1: CHECK THE MARKET TREND

The Wizard is based on a very simple but time-tested philosophy: It always follows the Trend - or direction - of the stock market.

When the stock market is moving up, The Wizard issues signals to buy stocks.

When the stock market is moving down, The Wizard issues signals to sell stocks short.

When the market is moving sideways, the Wizard issues neither buy nor sell signals. Instead, it simply stands aside and waits for the market to begin moving up or down again. This is why we check MarketTrend first.

The Wizard makes identifying the Market Trend easy. On the top right of every page in our site, you’ll see our Market Trends box. It always tells you what current Trend of the stock market is.

THE MARKET TREND BOX IS ALWAYS AT THE TOP RIGHT OF EVERY SCREEN


Step 1: CHECK THE MARKET TREND

The stock market has three possible directions: Buy, Sell or Sideways.

Buy: 2 green arrows

Sideways: Mixed colorsAny combination of mixed colors indicates the trend is Sideways - neither Buy nor Sell.


Sell: 2 red arrows

Part 3: Run Your ScanUse our custom scanning tool to find the best stocks to buy or sell.


Now that you’ve checked MarketTrends, it’s time to look for trade signals.

The Wizard gives you three ways to find stock signals. For this tutorial, we’re only going to focus on “Create a Scan”.

Option 1: Look for Pre-Buys or Pre-SellsIf you’re only looking for entry signals, we recommend choosing either Pre-Buy or Pre-Sell signals, depending on what the market’s trend is.

The Market’s Trend is SellBecause Market Trends is indicating a Sell signal for the market, we are going to look for Sell signals in stocks.

Scan for Pre-SellsTo scan for sell signals only, click the “Pre-Sell” button. (If we were looking for buys signals, we’d click the “Pre-Buy” button.)

Stop Price

The Stop Price is the price at which you will get out - exit your trade.

The Wizard’s Stop Price acts like an insurance policy. In the event that your trade loses money, the Stop Price is where you will exit in order to avoid a large loss.

Because some of your trades will inevitably lose money, it is critical that any losses you do have are kept to a minimum.

The Wizard’s Stop is known as a trailing stop. This means that if you buy a stock and its price goes up, the Stop Price will follow up behind it, locking in your profit along the way. This way, if the stock does reverse and go back down, you will not give back your profit.

Exit your entire position at the Stop Price: Whether you have taken profits or not, you will exit your entire position at the Stop Price. For Buy Signals, if your stock’s price drops to the Stop Price or below, you will exit immediately. For Sell Signals, if your stock’s price rises to the Stop Price or above, you will also exit immediately.

Buy Signal Profit Targets

Buy TargetsFor each Buy Signal, the Wizard provides two prices at which to take profits. When your stock reaches one of The Wizard’s profit targets, you will sell a certain number of shares.

50% Target: At this profit target, you will sell 50% of your shares. If you had bought 100 shares, you will sell 50% at this price.

75% Target: At this profit target, you will sell 25% of your original share size. Again, if you had bought 100 shares, you will sell 25 shares at this price. At this point, you will have on 25 shares remaining. You will have sold 75% of your position, which is why it’s called the 75% target.

At this point, you will exit the remainder of your position at the Stop Price.

The Wizard’s Profit Targets allow you to take profits as you go along. As the old saying goes, “You can never go broke taking profits.”

Sell Signal Profit Targets

Sell TargetsFor each Sell Signal, the Wizard also provides two prices at which to take profits. When your stock reaches one of The Wizard’s profit targets, you will buy back a certain number of shares.

50% Target: At this profit target, you will buy back 50% of your shares. If you had sold short 100 shares, you will buy back 50 shares at this price.

75% Target: At this profit target, you will buy back 25% of your original share size. Again, if you had sold short 100 shares, you will buy back 25 shares at this price. At this point, you will have on 25 shares remaining. At this point, you will exit the remainder of your position at the Stop Price.”

Aggressive Scan: No Profit Targets

When selecting your scan criteria, if you select “Aggressive” under “Scan Type”, you will not see any profit targets.

Instead, you’ll only see The Wizard’s Stop Price and will exit your entire position at that price.

We realize that you’re not going to buy every stock for which there is a buy or sell signal. So how do you decide which stocks to buy or sell?

We’ve made it easy. Whenever you run a scan, The Wizard automatically ranks your list of results by their Trend Strength. The stocks at the top of the list are the strongest ones. The stocks at the bottom of the list are the weakest ones. To reverse the order of the list, just click on the Trend column and the list will automatically re-sort.

Your highest probability trades are to buy stocks whose trend is Buy (double green arrows) and sell stocks whose trend is Sell (double red arrows)

Step 4: PLACE YOUR ORDERS WITH YOUR BROKER


Your final step is to place your orders with your broker.

In order to buy and sell stocks, you’ll need a broker to place orders with.

While The Wizard is not a broker and does not offer brokerage services, we do have alliances with certain brokers. You can find them by clicking on the “Brokers” button on the top right of the site.
