Surely you’re familiar with our Power of Quitting strategy. Using this powerful strategy, we can get in and out of the market in as little time as possible – no more spending hour after painful hour neglecting your family and personal life!

Using our strategy, on some days, you can be done in just 30 short minutes or less! Take for example one day last week: we were in ‘n out within 15 minutes with some serious results to show for it…

11 wins – 3 losses (that’s a 78% win ratio)
Ending at +11 points = $1,100.00 per contract on the Russell eMini

10 wins – 3 losses (76% win ratio)
+2.01 = $2,010.00 per contract on Crude Oil Futures!

12 wins – 6 losses (66% wins)
+101 points = $3,600.00 per contract (WOW!) on the DAX

That’s 3 completely different markets using just 1 strategy.

And you know that we’re adamantly opposed to any kind of optimization or curve-fitting! Just total simplicity, real results, and flexibility that extends to forex, futures, stocks, and commodities. PLUS, you can day trade or swing trade as you like.

Not bad, eh? =)

The last couple of days we have been so busy with getting ready for the launch of the UMT Simple 2.0. We’ve had great success and many of you have now joined us from around the globe.

Since we’ve been so busy there has been very little time to trade. However, in the last two days I’ve had about 30 minutes to trade and was able to catch 2 trades yesterday, 2 trades today and get out quickly. In that time, following the exact UMT strategy we teach we were able to get the results you see above – per contract!

While we know not every trade can win, and sometimes yes, it will take more time, we just used the little free time available and made the trades and finished – that was our plan for these two days.

Here’s a video where we’ll show you the exact, REAL trades plus the spreadsheet below showing you the actual time stamps, order numbers and results:

We read through each and every submission and we gotta admit… it was a tough call!

Alot of you mentioned common obstacles such as not knowing where to enter, where to exit, proper risk management principles, and all the minds games that trading with your hard-earned cash causes. We’re right there with you. The UMT will prepare you for each of these obstacles with our highly-supportive Owner’s Club. We emphasize real-world applicable principles on Risk Management, the Power of Quitting, the Power of Rules, and Trade Psychology so you can face those paralyzing obstacles head-on and reach your full potential as a successful trader.

But now on to the good stuff… the WINNER:

Not to be left out, the UMT Simple Plan 2.0 loves stock traders as well. Day trade? Sure. Swing trade? Absolutely. While you see us show a lot of futures and forex, stock trading works equally as well. The criteria is the same — lets focus on stocks that are on the move — up or down. We go long, we go short. If you can go long only then you simply focus on those set-ups and stay out when the UMT is saying you should be short. We put together a video today that walks you through all of 2008 trading the XLE — this is the S&P Energy Spider — energy stocks have been on a wild ride both up and down and actually on the year, the XLE is down at the time of recording this. That might surprise some of you. However, in the video you’ll see how we picked up about $18 of profit, and were actually out of the market the majority of the time. That’s never a bad thing when your capital doesn’t have to be exposed all the time (like it does when you buy and hold) plus, it can be deployed elsewhere when other stocks are setting up.

In addition, the win/loss ratio proves to be quite favorable as you see. At the end of the video we even take you through an example of day trading Apple Computer/AAPL. The key is to watch how we switch symbols and timeframe WITHOUT changing any settings. We do not optimize or curve fit. The exact same settings are used in all markets.

Today seemed to have all the trading stars lining up nicely.  Our simple buy and sell set-ups were working well across several markets — we’ll show you a nice cross-section in this video including the EURUSD (forex), Dow e-Mini, Crude Oil futures and Dax Futures.  One or more of those would be ideal for most no matter what time zone or part of the world you’re in.  You’ll see us identify our basic buy and sell set-ups — the key is waiting on our proprietary indicators to line up to confirm the trade – when that happens we enter immediately.  The system is designed to have dynamic stops and targets — the more volatile the market the larger those will be – - sideways/calm markets they’ll adjust accordingly.  This is really a key to success as we’ve discussed.  You cannot force markets to go a certain fixed number, nor should you trade anything where it’s quite complicated to identify your entries – or you’ll second guess.  There is no second guessing on our entry rules – or our exit strategy.  Winner or Loser we take the same approach.

Here’s the first video where you can take a close look at how we are actively trading two of our favorite markets with the Universal Market Trader (UMT) Simple 2.0 strategy.  We’ll walk you through the basic buy and sell set-ups and you’ll be able to readily see why we enter when we do.  The strategy takes over from there setting up our dynamic stops and targets — these are always different based upon market conditions which is one element that makes this strategy as effective as it can be. 

View it here, and feel free to leave comments to each post with any questions you have.  If there are markets you’d like to see us cover – let us know!  In the days ahead we’ll add forex trading, stock trading and other futures markets but we’d like to hear from you as well with your requests.  We won’t be able to get to all of them but you’ll be able to see how truly Universal this strategy can be.
