First from as trader who uses the Analyser

Subject: Re: Trading in November

Hi John, I have had a successful november but matbe not as successful it could of been. Ending the Month £256 in profit is a good thing but I should have kept alot more of my gains. It is quite clear from my analyzer that I know how to make the money but I haven't masterted how to keep the majority of it. his is something I want to focus on in the month of December. It sounds crazy but I really ought to be going into every trade thinking what is the minimum I want to loose here. That way when things do turn against as they can often do I have taken more control over the losses. This is because for me I am still focused on what I want to gain from a trade that when it's running deep into negative I haven't thought about the minimum loss exit and before you know it I am holding on to a trade because it has gone too much against me to think of giving that money to the broker. This practice takes time and it is one I intended to perfect. Losses are inevitable but like you have taught me John the control of them brings the success at any level of trading. This week as you know I finished the week £24 down. You could say this was actually a success considering that at one point in the week I was almost £300 down. My target for December is to make £1000 that is £250 a week. I believe I can make more but I think I will be happy if I can achieve this.

Hi Darren Its great you can recognise your faults and weaknesses - It is all about controlling Losses - The Analyser is a` powerful tool to help you Regards and well done John Bartlett

Dear Trader

I’m john Bartlett and I’ve been teaching beginners to trade both Forex and the stock market for many years. Over the time I have been doing this there is one area which people fail to master. This is the area of discipline regarding record keeping! Many students come back to me for advanced training and although they think they want to learn entry & exit signals as a priority – their problems mainly are due to lack of knowing exactly where they are in their personal trading.

Brian MacAboy and I have known each other for some time, he is acknowledged in the USA as a person who has a genuine interest in making traders get their “heads” right. An experienced author of many publications he is aware of all the trading traps that await the unwary. Last year he developed the product described below “The trading Analyser “

Having had a good look at this myself I thought it would be ideal for my students. The problem was it was USA designed. After discussion and reaching agreement with Brian it was agreed that I could modify the product for the UK market. This I have done and here is the product in the UK form. The UK Version of the TRADING ANALYSER is only available from this website www.learntrading.co.uk and is EXCLUSIVE to this site.

In every business, there are certain "tricks of the trade" that make the difference between those that make the big money and those that work long hours, yet never make the money they should.

Do you want to Take the Stress and Guesswork Out of your Trading?"

Trading is a large business – there are many winners and many losers – the winners all have one thing in common they are confident of their ability and they are consistently profitable. Experienced profitable traders all have a specific method of trading they use, they know that they can rely on it to produce their income month-in and month-out. As you read through this page, you'll will realise that “this is” that simple "trick of the trade" that will allow you to sleep well at night and trade with confidence.

What you are about to discover e is how to:

- take the fear out of your trading

- have the confidence in your system to easily stick to it

- make your trading more consistent

- know exactly where to focus to make improvements in your trading results

- be able to PLAN on how much you'll make next month (can you do that now?)

... all without risking a penny

Your Trading Is A Process

Your trading involves the process of you selecting trades to enter, entering those trades and then following them through until you exit for either a profit or a loss.

At the heart of this process is your trading system or methodology. This is what you have chosen as your guide to profitable trades and as your protection against losses.

This processes have several inputs and outputs, the most important of which is... not profits!

What?!?

The most important output of the process is how consistently you can repeat the successful execution of your trading system or method. If you have a proven system, then you need to follow that system for it to do its job for you!

Step 1 - Building Confidence and Eliminating Fear

One of the greatest challenges for all traders is discipline. Sticking to their system and not shooting themselves in the foot by deviating and making bad decisions.

That lack of discipline most often comes from fear. Fear that they system isn't going to come through, especially if you've just encountered a series of losing trades.

Fear usually comes from a lack of confidence, so the best way to build sufficient confidence in your system is to PROVE the system.

So how do you do that in a way that works?

T

he Right Numbers Tell The Whole Story If someone were to approach you with trading system and all they had to say was "it makes a lot of money", you'd be pretty sceptical, right? You'd want more specific information.

You'd want to know what makes it a profitable system, wouldn't you? All businesses have key measurable that make the bottom line what it is and trading is no different.

Just looking at the trade in hand and your monthly account statements is NOT likely to give you much useful information if you want to see significant improvements.

You need to have in your hands real trading measurable such as:

• your winning percentage - are you winning as much as you think you are?

• your true profit/loss ratio - who cares how many winners you have? if this is not where it should be, your account balance still won't be going up

• your average return per trade you place - this is critical for confidence and making improvements

• your actual ROI (Return on Investment) - this is what it's all about. You want to know that for every dollar you're putting in, you're seeing a good return.

• your true income potential from your trading - if you really do want to quit your J-O-B and be a full time trader, this is what you need to focus on. Run the numbers and don't go on faith

• your hourly rate as a trader - is trading paying you what you're worth for the time you're putting in?

Step 2 - Track Your Results

It is a great benefit to know what your metrics are right now, but the pros know to track their progress to ensure that they keep heading in the right direction.

Through monitoring your individual metrics, you keep a keen sense of where your best opportunities are to be found.

As you identify specific aspects of your system's performance through the tracking, you can then act!

Step 3 - Focus On Continuous Improvement

When you see what your numbers tell you and you have a means to test any changes, then you can try different things to see what works. You use what you've already got as your control, and then compare what your control with what you are considering.

Important note: treat your control and anything else as separate systems! Don't mix the data or it will skew your evaluation.

The next thing you'll want to do is start looking ahead. This is one of the most anxiety-filled parts of trading for most because they don't know what to expect.

Now you have a tool to look ahead with confidence!

Introducing The Trading Performance Analyzer!

The Analyzer Makes Forecasting Your Trading Easy

The other benefit of having your historical trading numbers is that it makes forecasting for the future that much easier!

One of the most difficult questions a trader can have is: "What can I expect from my trading for the next month, next quarter and most importantly for the next year?"

As part of treating your trading like the business that it is, forecasting is critical.

Being able to look ahead and see what to expect is a great way to lower both your anxiety and discomfort.

All in one user-friendly, printer-friendly and complete package!

What is This Worth and Why Should You Get it Right Now?

Every day that you trade without knowing your metrics, you are missing the chance to substantially improve your trading. Plus you are leaving money on the table by not knowing the strengths and weaknesses in your current system.

Have you ever looked back on something and wished that you'd started it sooner?

System Analysis and Tracking is one of those matters. For a very high percentage of traders, this is exactly the step that took their trading to a whole new level. And not just their profits... Their whole trading experience, because the doubt and anxiety begin to go away as you truly get to know the ins and outs of your trading system.

You do of course, have the option to just click away right now, but why would you deprive yourself of the one tool that can make that big difference that you've been looking for?

If you wait or put this off, you'll only regret it later. Probably as soon as you hit your next losing trade, miss out on a winner or deviate from your system because you lacked the confidence to stick to it.

The systematic - not trial and error - improvements you can make in your trading starting immediately are why getting The Trading Performance Analyzer right now is a no-brainer business decision.

Version 7.5 Just Released!!! Together with UK Version – by John Bartlett Added Features

- Streaks and drawdown’s

Every system will experience drawdown’s. What is tremendously important to know is how much of a drawdown your system can handle and still make you money. It is when you experience a few losing trades that the temptation to deviate from your system gets really strong. But that is exactly when you need to keep your discipline, because you want to be sticking to your system when the drawdown ends and you get a series of winners!

Now the Trading Performance Analyzer will track your winning and losing streaks, how much you made or lost during those streaks, AND show you what your greatest overall drawdown was. Powerful information for keeping your discipline!

- New Analyzer sheet that will let you analyze virtually unlimited trades!

- Reward to risk ratios for your winners, losers and overall - this is tremendously important so that you KNOW:

Is your system keeping your trades to what you expect? If you think you're entering trades with a 3:1 but in reality your winners are only producing 2.5:1, this is huge!

Are your risk management (capital protection measures) really keeping your losses where you are comfortable? A 1:1 on the R-multiple for losers means that you're okay, but if it is higher, then you're risking more money than you thought going in on your trades.

The overall R-multiple tells you what your profitability is on the money you risked - this is different than the capital required to place the trade. Is your system delivering regarding money made versus money-risked?

Order your Copy Right Now! (£33) It will be emailed to you within 24 hours (2.5 MGB) included is a series of help videos by Brian in each system.

Hi Brian, I am an experienced trader (30+ years!) and congratulate you on the advice and information you are providing to traders on your website and videos.

You are obviously an experienced trader yourself with excellent resources, and I am finding your Trading Performance Analyser, in particular, a most useful tool indeed - I cannot work without it now!

Many thanks, and keep up the good work.

Regards, Nigel Smith

"I have been testing/comparing two trading strategies for the last 90 days. I have gathered data from back testing and real-time testing and plugged it into the Trading Performance Analyzer.

I was amazed at how easy it was to determine which strategy had the biggest effect on my bottom line.

The TPA saved me a lot of time and made the process of comparison much simpler and easier. I will continue to use it to keep track of my method's performance from this point on.

This is an important tool for any serious trader's tool box. Thanks!"

Pat Davis, Individual Trader Colorado Springs, CO

"In the Trading Performance Analyzer, Brian has brought together all the key statistical information that a trader needs to plan realistically for the future.

Trying to figure it all out yourself is the kind of thing that is dull and difficult to work out, but is crucial for giving the trader the confidence to get on and trade a system, concentrating on execution, while knowing what the reward for consistently applying the rules will be.

You can play around with different figures for income withdrawal, and see the effect on the end equity. The information it provides represents an important edge for the trader, and is an essential tool if you are serious about trading as a business."

- Julian Karolyi, Individual Trader Edinburgh, UK

"Back testing your system is the most critical thing you must do as a trader!

In fact, knowing a system’s metrics has been the turnaround point for so many traders that I've worked with I just can't stress its value and importance enough.

Historically, back testing wasn’t easy, and that’s why I love the Trading Performance Analyzer. Unlike every other back tester out there, it is so easy to use, easy to understand, and includes the critical metrics you need to take your trading to the next level.

For the difference this can make, it is an incredible bargain and I strongly recommend that you get it right now and start using it!"

David Jenyns - Professional Trader, Coach and Author www.meta-formula.com

"I regard myself as a serious trader and monitor my trading metrics very closely.

However to get this data at the end of each month was a real chore for me, having to grind through my own clumsy Excel spreadsheets and collate information from different sources. If only there were a quicker and more efficient way !

Then I came across Brian McAboy’s Trading Performance Analyser. This is a great piece of software. It is simple to use and provides all my trading metrics in a clear and concise format – all updated immediately as I enter each new trade.

I also use it to back test trading ideas and get the real picture of a system’s performance before committing valuable trading capital. It is so much easier to use than a lot of other more complicated software out there

This is an essential piece of software for anyone who takes their trading seriously."

John Tomson, Individual Trader Sydney, Australia

“Wow!, Talk about having everything at your fingertips. Before I got my hands on the Trading Performance Analyzer, it took me hours every month going through my trade results, seeing if I was reaching my targets and goals.

The Trading Performance Analyzer has allowed me to simply enter my trade results for the month and give me all the information I need in one easy package: from my profit-to-loss ratio, return per dollar invested, a great equity graph for visual reference, then the best part...I can now see what I'm worth an hour. It actually gives me my hourly rate! I've never had anything tell me that before.

It has literally saved me many hours a month, and now I can see how much that is worth to me.

Brian, once again you've given my trading profits a great boost.”

- Dean Whittingham Melbourne, Australia The Financial Market Fisherman
