prices in April.
The general up movement should work till May, where a downtrend could start. May is a very
important month, in case of a High we can bet for a downtrend (and at the moment this is my
favourite path), but if May turns out to be a Low after a descent in the first months of the year,
then it is possible that a new uptrend will start exactly from May. In this case we are going to see
a boring May and June, but during the summer the uptrend should start.
But Im telling you, this is not my favourite path, only if May is a Low then we have to work with
this forecast. At the moment my forecast is projecting May as a High, and then descent. Over the
year we will work with the prices to be able to trade it properly.
If the descent works from May as expected, we should see an intermediate Low between the
end of July and the beginning of August. I dont exclude also a little Low around June the 8th.
Anyway, we should see lower levels during the summer. Then new down push around mid-August
or from the last days of the month/beginning of September, down toward October, where a Low
is expected during the first 10 days.
Actually October should be a change in trend, above all during the first 10 days. At the moment,
during autumn 2013, we are seeing a boring phase on grains, a flat market that is not helping us
to make profits. Im afraid that we are going to see something similar during the last 3 months
of 2014, above all if we will see a descent during the summer toward October. In December, pay
attention at the last days of the year, a descent is expected.

This is exactly what I wrote in November 2013 about the 2014 Soybeans Forecast. Mainly I
forecasted the beginning of a new uptrend in February, a High in May and a descent during the
summer with a Low in October. Now, you have your eyes to judge on your own: See Chart #2.
I feel justified to say that my 2014 Soybeans Forecast has been excellent, if not perfect. This,
in my opinion, is a proper forecast, the like of which I have looked for over all these years.
We can also see how the 2014 PFS Corn Forecast worked out. Usually Soybeans and Corn work
quite similarly, and for this reason I had a similar forecast. Here is the 2014 Corn Forecast with a
few words I wrote in the Annual Bulletin to explain what I was expecting from Corn:
My favourite path is a general up movement till April or May (possible up and down in the first
months of the year, at the moment I would like to see a brief weak phase till February and then
up), then we should see a descent. The descent should start in May, but if we see a Low in May,
it is possible that we are going to see another brief up acceleration till June, and then downtrend
toward the last days of July/first days of August. Im expecting a Low around the last 5 days of
July or around the first 5 days of August, then up push toward the last days of August or the first
15 days of September and then down again toward lower levels in October or November.
Also in this case, with Corn, we can see how the forecast has been followed: See Chart #4.
Even though you can see how excellent the forecast was, I always warm my customers that
we dont only depend on the forecast, but we always have to wait for confirmations, using precise
strategies based on Key Price Support Levels. I use a system of Ganns Planetary Longitude Lines
to define these Key price levels, though I have found that they must be adjusted for todays
markets in order to work properly. This is very important, probably the most important thing that
many trades miss, because you have to know that there is rarely a perfect forecast that works in
every situation (in spite of what many people hope for, and so die poor).
Be wise and trade with discipline and patience. I can teach people how to make forecasts, but
I cannot teach discipline and patience, you have to find these two virtues inside of yourself. I like

to share my forecasts to help document my work, but I also like to be honest because in the past
I have had many troubles in trading just only a forecast, so, please avoid my same mistakes.
Once you have a good forecast, always be prepared for different scenario to surprise you. A
bad forecast is not a good reason to have a bad loss. The purpose of trading is always to make big
money when we are right and lose little money when we are wrong. For this reason in my Annual
PFS Forecast Bulletin, I always send subscribers ongoing updates every two or three months
discussing the actual situation, checking if anything has changed and giving some important Key
Price Levels that we can work with to create an intelligent trading strategy.
2014 was a great forecasting year, and my 2015 forecast is going well so far, and the market
is respecting what I predicted. If this article has raised your interest, you can find out more about
my Annual PFS Bulletin for both the stock market and the grain markets, where you can see a

Old Patterns
Affect Trading
By Adrienne Toghraie, Traders Success Coach
www.TradingonTarget.com
Trading disturbs comfortable life patterns
for many traders because it requires them
to think like an entrepreneur, deal with high
levels of risk, manage their life on an insecure
income, and accomplish this surrounded by
friends and family who do not consider trading
to be a real job. These demands challenge
the traditions, beliefs, and early environment
which form the patterns and behaviors we
choose for our lives.
These patterns feel comfortable because

OT Trend Bars
By George Krum
During the years traders have developed
different charting techniques in order to
isolate noise/random price moves from
the underlying true trend of a security. The
Japanese have come up with Renko, Kagi
and Line break charts, while Point and Figure
charts originated from the West.
Although these types of charts excel at
visually displaying the underlying trend and
support and resistance levels, they lack the
element of time, and suffer from several other
problems. These problems can be summarized
as follows:

not only since the July 2014 high, but from the
July 2011 high (not shown in chart). While the
Jan. 26 low is slightly below strong support,
there has only been one up day, hardly a
reversal signal. It may not be a bad idea to
look for a short position in a lower degree
time frame for a potential continuation of the
strong bear trend.
I am not saying to ignore support and
resistance areas. It is good to keep aware of
them. But trying to pick tops and bottoms is
a tricky business and can be an expensive
business. Trade with the trend until there has
been some type of reversal signal.

The big danger in the table above is in your mindset: I already know this.
Knowing does not mean that you are doing it. Take a chance:
The rate of you making a change will make a change to your trading account.
The choice is yours: Doing it all on your own or relying on a readymade concept that will be
tailored to your wants and needs: NeverLossTrading.
1. Trading System
58
Fact-1: You are in need for a trading system with positive expectations that allows you to find
trade setups with a probability for success above 63%, else you will most likely be up for either
trading water or making losses. By our investigation, only activity based trading systems allow
for such an attainment rate:

59
Probability of the Trade Setup (past performance) x Reward / (Risk x Probability of Failing)
At this point, note the Golden Rule of Trading Success:
The factor of this calculation shall be above 1.5-points.
Example-1: Probability for success of the trade setup (from history): 65%, with a risk of $1 and
a reward of $1. The calculated factor comes to 1.94; thus, it is above 1.5 and tells you that you
found a trade setup where the odds are in your favor according to the Golden Rule.
Example-2: Probability for the trade setup at 58%, with a risk of $1 and a reward of $1. The
calculated factor comes to 1.38 and is below 1.5, telling you that the odds of the trade setup are
NOT in your favor.
Trading without considering the odd ratio is a key reason why private investors fail to achieve
their financial goals. They mostly follow:
Moving average based indicators: MACD, Bollinger Bands, RSI, CCI
Candle setups: Doji, Harami, Hangman
Long-term patterns: Head and Shoulder, Cup and Handle
Those trading systems are either random or produce a probability for success between 53% 57%, which is quickly leaving the odds ration below the factor of 1.5.
To follow the constant price change of the financial markets, you need to be able to work with
trading concepts and assets, allowing you to make money to the up- and downside in any
account.
In average markets, prices drop with three times the speed in which they climb. Hence, having
clear cut strategies on hand to participate in such down moves is a key imperative.
Going long in an asset is not tied to specific rules and regulations, however, when you want to short stocks,
you need to be aware of minimum account holdings of $25,000 (SEC regulation), up-tick rule and obligations to
pay dividends. If you trade from an IRA account, you cannot short stocks; hence you are in need of meaningful
option strategies for trades to the downside.
There are various option strategies; however, we propose, you make it as simple as possible and
you trade with limited risk and upside-opportunities.
If you simply buy call and put, options, it provides you an investment instrument with
outstanding leverage and with limited risk:
60
Buying Call options to trade to the upside. The value of the option increases with the share price
increase by the Delta of the option.
Buying Put options to trade to the downside. The value of the option increases with the share
price decrease by the Delta of the option.
The most an option buyer can lose is the premium paid.
However, as easy as it sounds, option trading is the hardest way to make money and you need
to learn many details to be a successful option trader. NeverLossTrading is a premier education
institution where you can learn this; check out their mentorship programs.
Why do we say this?
When you get the direction wrong on an option trade, you quickly lose 50% of your premium
invested. In consequence, you need to make at least a 30% return on winning trades to make a
positive result when winning two out of three trades.
In addition, be careful with non-directional trades, the odds of such trade setups might not be in
your favor from the get go:
The typical Iron-Condor gives you 20-cents of premium per dollar spread. If you consider an
average commission of 6-cents at trade initiation and 3-cents, in case you have to close one leg
of the trade by a strong price move into your price bracket, this gives you 14-cents net profit
potential and 83-cents of risk. Hence, your breakeven point requires you to find trade setups
with accuracy above 83% to start making money. In summary: Not what you want to trade.
The example of point-2 already explained some of the minimum requirements to accept a trade
and here are more reasons:
You need to give the price a certain wiggle room to come to target. If you work with very tight
stops, you will be stopped-out frequently. Imagine a stock trade requires a $1 price band to
move in your desired direction; however, you only give it 10-cents to keep your risk at bay.
What will most likely happen?
Example-1: In eight out of 10 trades you will be stopped out and if you win two, the final result
calculates as: - 8 x $0.1 + 2 x $1 = $1.20
In the example above, we show a positive result; however, the string of small losses can easily
drag out and thus, reduce or take the profit potential away.
61
Example-2: If you take 10 trades with a high probability system, winning two out of three,
it gives you about seven winners and three losers. Trading dollar for dollar, we calculate: -3
x $1 + 7 x $1 = $4. This represents a three time higher result with more predictability than
example-1.
In general, the following rules help you to find the right price expansion room and targets: Day
Trading Stocks: Trade for a minimum return of 0.5% on cash per trade.
Swing Trading Stocks: Trade for an average 1.8% return.
Long-Term investing: Trade for an average return of 3.5%.
Option Trading: Independent from the time frame, strive for a minimum 30% return.
Futures and Forex Trading: Strive for an average return on margin of 5%.
4. Trade Frequency
Find a trade frequency that suits your personal circumstances and trade frequently: If you are
a long-term investor, plan for a minimum of three trades a month and work with weekly charts.
A swing trader shall work with daily charts and minimum three trades per week. Day trading is
best accomplished with three trades per day on reference time-frames. Here is an example for
stock traders, who know at the opening what to trade and do this dailyclick to read on.
5. Risk Handling
62
With the help of the red NLT Double Decker Line, you define your initial risk at trade setup and
you can use it if you want to trail the stop on a trend trade.
The risk you take in relation to the opportunity to strive for shall define your position size. This
way, you are hitting for the fences when you have a favorable opportunity and you go base by
base at higher risk setups. To help you evaluating such situations, excel based concepts are of
great help: You can either develop them on your own or use one like in the following example:

Aside from trade by trade decisions, never allow a single trade to produce a higher than 5%
loss of your account value. To do so, define for every trade a price threshold where the original
assumption of the trades is no more valid. If the necessary price threshold requires a higher
risk, do not accept the trade. When the maximum risk price is reached, either exit your trade or
apply methods of protection and capital preservation. We teach those in our mentorships.
Constant trading and compounding interest has a much higher probability to build your desired
returns than betting on single trade wonders. To accomplish this goal, you need a data source,
which provides you with instruments ready to trade on a consistent basis: Either, you develop
this on your own or you purchase a market proven trade alert service.
Unfortunately, long-term investors have a big disadvantage over day traders or swing traders
by trading for less return and accepting a higher risk. Check our WebPage post and feature

It is a challenge for every trader to constantly scan the markets for opportunities:
A) From the about 40,000 stocks traded in the US, which ones show an institutional initiated price
move?
B) Do all stocks provide favorable trade conditions, given their volume, share of institutional holding,
bid/ask spread, holding options or not, their P/E ratio or P/C ratio?
C) Which Futures or Forex contracts indicate the desired trade setup and how to trade them best?
New traders at times limit themselves by only trading a couple of assets, but what to do if those do
not show a price move? You might miss participating in a chance that arise in gold or crude oil.
Many questions that you have to answer on your own or you decide to rely on a subscription
service or trading-system-inherent-market-scanners, which help you to find those opportunities.

7. Constant Improvement
Strive for constant improvement: Journal your trades; check and balance, which situations
worked and which not, take feedback from a coach, adjust and improve your trading.
Who likes administration?
However, for you, to turn yourself into the trader you want to be, you need to seek out for
feedback. Again, you can try to replicate this on your own or you decide to take the advice from
a coach, who is familiar with your trading system and can give you the final hints to get you over
the hump.
Thus:
Document your trades, best with screen shots from the trade setup at entry and exit.
With the help of this document, check your initial assumptions in respect to:
Entry: Did you pick a trade situation which was according to the rules of your system?
Exit: Did you stay in the trade until it concluded at the specifically set target?
Stop: Did you work with the stop level you decided that is needed for giving the asset price the
www.tradersworld.com Feb/Mar/Apr 2015

If you wanted to learn how to make money golfing, do you think working on your swing on your
own would get you to where you wanted to be? Hence, find a coach, who gives you constant
feedback on your trades, until you get them right on Entries, Exits, and Stops.
8. Trading Business
Treat trading as a business: Set your trading or investing up, so you are treated and taxed as
a business. Work for yourself and make your money work for you without getting distracted by
other life circumstances. Have the technical capabilities (computer, broker, charting, data lines) in
place, which are required for participating in the markets you want to be present in.
This article does not find space to document all details, hence find them nicely summarized in a
Kindle book: A $2.99 investment and available at AMAZONclick for the link.
9. Have a Plan
As you treat trading a business, you are now brining it all together and you produce a business
plan: A formal statement of a set of business goals compromised by a financial plan and action
plan. It shall contain:
A)
B)
C)
D)
67
Mostly, this is not the case and so we are sharing the action steps and start out with the
Financial Plan; based on the money, we then produce the required action plan.
How much money do you want to make trading/investing?
As much as possible is not the right answer:
To establish and follow a business plan, what, when, and how questions is a good place to start:
A)
B)
C)
D)
68
Decision-3: Use an evaluation model to consider the associated risk per trade and the expected
probability for success. With that, you can calculate the odds ratio, which helps you to define the
position size of a trade.
Decision-4: Which instruments do you want to trade: Stocks, Options, Futures or FOREX?
Associated with the choice of the trading instruments and time-frame is the need to calculate:
A) Meaningful minimum price moves to aim for and the financial implications of those decisions.
As a private investor, never aim for a stock or option price move below 17-cents. If you trade below this minimum expected price move, commissions, slippage and some trade imperfections require you to find trade setups with a probability for success above 75% to reach breakeven.
B) Maximum risk to accept per trade. There is no 100% system and you need to learn to be your
own risk manager, with clear rules of how much maximum drawdown, you allow for a trade when
the worst case happens. This then defines your position sizing and instrument choice.
Trading time table and action: When and how do you find assets with favorable price action and
trade signals? You want to trade where money moves and staying just with one instrument or
asset class is not a good choice; hence, rely back to what was explained in point-6.
Decision-4: Consider different market conditions in your business plan to determine if you take
rather position trades or short term trades: You can always trade short-term; however, position
trading at specific market conditions is more risky.
The best for you to categorize financial market conditions is to look at the VIX:
VIX is a trademarked ticker symbol for the Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility
Index, a popular measure of the implied volatility of S&P 500 index options. Often referred to as
the fear index or the fear gauge, it represents one measure of the markets expectation of stock
market volatility over the next 30-day-period.
Condition-A characterizes an average or increased volatility, at VIX-levels above 15 and below
30. The stage, we call Condition-A, allows for excellent positioning trading as a swing trader or
long-term investor.
69
Condition-L: In a low volatility market environment, we see the VIX below 15: Financial
instruments produce smaller-, often in-range price moves. As a result, you can expect less
attainable trade targets and lower associated risks. The displayed state of the stock market is in
Condition-L and longer-term position trades are harder to administer, expecting that highs and
lows of a tight price range are constantly tested. As a consequence, changing strategies from
position trading to trading lower time frames is a meaningful course of action to catch intra-day
price actions to the up- and downside. The consequence of changing trading time frames means
that you are trading for smaller price moves. For attaining the same financial trade returns, you
need to increase your trading frequency as shown under decision-2.
Condition-V: Volatile market environments, where VIX ranges above 30, show an increased
risk for price moves towards the range borders, where stops might get easily challenged. As a
consequence, like in Condition-L, trading shorter-term frames is a good choice to make.
Putting it all together, let us produce a one-sheet business plan, considering a full time trader
with a $100,000 trading budget, 99% invested (no margin applied), who uses various assets and
trading time frames:
Stocks: Daily, 4-hour, 1-hour chart.
Options: Daily, 4-hour chart.
Futures: 10-minute chart.
The model used, considers commissions and calculates the risk and reward, expecting a 66%
win rate. In the model, we filtered out option or stock constellations, which will not produce
positive results. One example would be: Trading for a 5-cent option price gain at a 1:1 reward
to risk setup. When you consider commissions, you can expect a 2-cent net return. In a case of
a loss, 7-cents will be drawn. Such trade setup would require an above 80% trade accuracy to
produce income, which cannot be achieved by winning two out of three trades.
On the right side of the table, you can see how different the potential reward and risk per trade
is in relation to the trading time frame and frequency.
Investing $30,000 into a stock trade with expected six turns per month, on a rate of two winners
and one loser, produces an average expected return of $1.056 per month. If you turn $3,000
invested into options, the expected dollar-return is about the same; however, every option trade
carries a 2.4-times higher risk, even though only 10% of the investment money used for stocks
was associated.
For day trading Futures, we decided for a 10-minute time frame and associated three trades per
day and with a two out of three win-rate, which results in an expected $2,000 return on $10,000
invested (total margin). In this case, the risk per trade is $189.

Every trader has a different risk tolerance and return expectation. Balancing reward, risk and the
resulting outcome, such model helps you to decide, where you want to put your trading focus
and how you can make the best use out of your money to invest. The choice is yours, either
build it on your own or trust a trading system, which delivers the model to you:

Prepare for trading or investing: - Those who fail to prepare, prepare to fail It is essential
www.tradersworld.com Feb/Mar/Apr 2015
71
to know the key events for the instruments you are trading: Earnings announcements, news
announcements, economic news on a worldwide basis influence the volatility of the intruments
you are trading: Click for an overview.
When you are invested in an asset at a focal news event, you are accepting a higher risk. To
reduce your risk, either exit your trade prior to a news event or find a form of protection.
Why that?
News events can trigger excessive volatility, which potentially is taking your stops, even so the
market goes in your desired direction after:
Let the market guide you - put your desire to trade or invest away and allow yourself flexibility
by not trading when there is no market movement and increased trading, when the markets
allow.
Build yourself the mind and inner constitution by controlling your emotions and desires so you
can make conscious decisions, which allow you to apply your trading principles.
As a trader, you constantly deal with the emotions of fear and excitement. To graphically display
this happening, we developed a price cycle study, which records individual sine wave patterns
around a zero line that can be related to supply/demand and emotions.
72
In a period of excitement, prices move up until they halter and it comes either to ambiguity
(sideways moves) or an opposite price move. At this point, the fear of losing takes over and lets
traders leave positions.
How does this work on falling prices?
After prices fell and start to settle, on a slight reversal, excitement kicks in and the expectation
that prices will rise again takes over, but when this expectation does not hold true, fear takes
over again and prices continue in their pattern of dropping.
During those alternating price patterns, we observe that humans act usually 5-times faster
under the element of fear than we act under the element of excitement, triggering the following:
A) Leaving positions early at the first sign of ambiguity without harvesting the desired and
planned result.
B) Entering late when an opportunity occurs by waiting for additional confirmation.
At trade initiation, you need to give the price move the required wiggle room. When our
emotions take over and you cut profits short, by entering late and exiting early, you produce a
pattern of smaller wins, which then get wiped out by a potential bigger loss.
As Consequence:
Follow your system and your clear cut rules manifested in your trading plan. Walk away and only
control your trade when your stop or adjustment level is reached.
Trade only when the market allows you: At a confirmed signal.
Produce a repetitive behavior pattern by repeating what worked and give up what did not.
Develop a probability-based mind that understands that the outcome of a trade is only a set
of probabilities, where you can do everything right, and still be wrong; however, by following a
high probability trading system, applying all the steps mentioned in this documentation, you can
stack the odds in your favor.
Mental preparation is often neglected in trading and we hope the examples we gave you,
demonstrate the importance of this action step: If your mind does not work, you can make the
best trading system fail.
You learn several mind preparation exercises in our mentorships. In case those are not good
enough, we refer you to fellow business associates, who can help you in that matter.
73
12. Education
Educate yourself: - An investment in knowledge always pays the highest interest Be trained
at what you trade and add new skills, new understanding, new visions and strategies that allow
you to stay and move with the markets, giving you the flexibility to trade or invest in various
instruments and asset categories.
As an education institution, we are here for you and support you, developing yourself into the
trader you want to be.
Summary
This 12-step process is a guidance to master, being a consistent trader. Without following a
roadmap, you most likely get lost. The choice is yours: Build an activity-based trading system,
establish market scanners, follow a business plan with the right mindset and education or rely
on a premier education institution: We are in business since 2008 and teach individually, install
our software for you and adopt our concepts to your specific wants and needs, guiding you for
months after the initial training to assure the new methods and concept stick with you.

I bought the HP 67 calculator on the Internet. I then wrote the Research Programs for the
calculator. (See Diagram 1) I have found the 45 angle in the Research Program I wrote gives me
a 90 rotation. Four rotations equal 360. The calculator carries the decimal at 13 places for
accuracy. (See Diagram 2) Next I apply the data from the negative square root function in the
Research Program. I have made a blue diagonal line and applied the data horizontally into it.
You are looking at red horizontal dotted lines 63.82, 35.97, 15.91, 3.96 and -1. The low 16.09,
as seen on the calculator, is adjusted from 15.8 vertically down numbers. (See diagram 3) I feel
15.8 to 16.09 is a very small variation. Look at the weekly dates at the bottom of the chart. The
data from the weekly charts starts in 1980.
The calculator research program works just fine on small individual stocks as well. See the next
chart as an example. I discuss this chart titled Pre-Top, Pre-Bottom in detail in my last article in
Traders World in the September/October/November 2014 issue.
The following chart of Texas instrument is showing two vertical lines. The first one from the
Black peak top shows a pre-low on the stock chart below and the next one from the Red top
shows a pre-high top on the stock chart below. Youre looking at my calculator research math.
You can see the math from the calculator is displayed. The simplicity of this is Low to High; this
is what people want to trade. I do keep track of the SARs. This makes a very nice chart layout.
84
Hal is more of an advanced chart. This is Halliburton on one large continuous run going from
High to Low. If you are looking at a Red vertical line, that is a pre-High or a Pre-top. If you are
looking at the vertical yellow lines, that is a pre-bottom. The last three yellow vertical lines on
the chart are showing you the low taking place and demonstrating the math from the calculator
research program.
I have included a photo of the programs I have written in the HP programming language. I am
now making a user manual for the HP Research Program.
85
HP CALCULATOR $16.00
This is the HP calculator I use. The user manual for the HP calculator is free. When you receive
your calculator there is instructions with it. You are expected to know how to copy and paste in
the use of your computer. There are two Gann wheels furnished one big and one small. The use
will be demonstrated.
86
Now with this set up you can do the math and see where you are on the Gann wheel. The bigger
the problem the bigger the wheel used.
87
Now I will show the program for Label A and Label B. On the right side, find the numbers look
for the position on the keyboard and it will tell you what the program is doing.

A trading computer is not the same thing as office computer and definitely not a notebook
computer. The motherboard must have a much higher capacity than a regular computer.
Choosing the right computer for trading can make a world of difference in trading.
The trading computer must be first off dependable and have the power to support the needs
receiving quotes without any delay and the power to enter orders without any delay. A
trading computer has a large amount of data to upload, download and transfer every day.

Having this information prior to the market opening, allows traders to have multiple choices
for entry:
- Enter a short using the e-Mini Dow Jones futures contract
- Enter multiple binary options where the risk is defined and paid on entry
- Enter trades on both the futures and binary options
Trading the futures contracts, a stop would typically be placed above the high of the price
bar at Point A or 18,000. Entry would be at 17973 and the risk would be a minimum of 27
points per contract ($135 per contract and a margin requirement of $500 per contract). Since
the red line at the bottom of the chart indicates that price will go to 17860, a profit limit order
could be set for this level. Of course, as experienced traders know, if the market opens fast
and furious, as it typically does, the stop can be jumped and a larger loss could be incurred.
Now lets look at the potential on the binary options. First, the Nadex Binary Option is a
simple true or false statement. If you believe the option statement will be true at expiration,
you buy the binary option. If you believe the option statement will be false at expiration, you
sell the binary option. The maximum payout is $100, if you are correct.
Although a trader could enter At the money, meaning where price is currently trading
(17984), a better scenario is to enter an Out of the Money, in anticipation that price will go
down to a lower level. The chosen Out of the Money options that were available were:
Two Hour Expiration at 10 am New York Time
Total Risk $24.50 per contract (100 75.50), no margin requirement
Daily Expiration binary option (4:15 pm New York Time)
Total Risk $21.75 per contract (100 78.25), no margin requirement
Now, lets fast forward and see what happens at the opening of the US market at 9:30 am
New York Time. The market opens and goes down to the red line as indicated prior to the
opening (17860).

Trading the binary options, the exits were at the following prices:

As the table above shows, although the mini Dow Future contract yields a higher dollar
profit, it also requires a higher margin amount (and risk). The out of the money binary option
yields a lower dollar amount but a much higher return on investment plus offers a lower risk
opportunity. Since the binary options offers the higher return on investment, a more prudent
approach to trading, especially for beginning traders or those with smaller accounts, is to
simply compound the binary option contracts for a higher dollar yield (in other words, instead
of trading one two hour expiration contract for a profit of $53.25, trade ten contracts for a
profit of $532.50, while only risking $245).
