Hello,
I am Lee Ann Cox. I handle all marketing and client placement for Natural Order Educators, so I speak often with traders who are trying to do the best thing for their trading careers. They often ask me how to cut through the clutter of products and programs available to make sure they make the right choice. I feel that most programs can be easily ruled out just by using common sense. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. There is no "wealth without work".
To more specifically aid you in your investigation, you should obtain answers to the following questions. If you receive a "No" to any of the following questions, it should be your sign to look elsewhere.
|
Yes No q q |
Has the company been in business for a considerable length of time? |
| In the last few years a plethora of fly by night system
vendors have come on the scene. These companies may only be around
for a short while, but they are quickly replaced by others. Don't be
swayed by cheap prices or wild claims. Make sure you are dealing
with an organization that has longevity in the industry and has a
reputation to maintain. Ask for third party documentation. Natural Order Educators was founded in 1989 and has continued to maintain the highest standard in trader education and development.
|
| Yes No | Do they have industry references and endorsements? |
| q q |
Verify
the person or company's reputation. They should be known and
respected by others in the industry.
|
| Yes No | Is the product or service subject to very limited distribution? |
| q q |
Mass marketed trading approaches give mass marketed results and they are probably not being traded by the people responsible for designing and marketing them. Remember this is a zero sum game, where only a small percent of the traders are making consistent returns they are happy with, you must know and be able to do what the others cannot. No mass marketed product can deliver this. Natural Order Educators strictly limits the number of clients they work with each year to under 60.
|
| Yes No | Is the approach free of curve fitting and/or optimization? |
| q q |
The phrase "curve fitted and/or optimized" should read..."will deteriorate over time". There is one thing you can count on - markets will change. "Systems", by nature, can't flow with that change and will eventually leave the trader stranded. The Natural Order Method is a true methodology that allows you to adapt to changing market conditions like volatility, price action and market relationship shifts - giving you the staying power you need.
|
| Yes No | Do they personally trade their own method? |
| q q | The industry is rife with system
designers and marketers who don't personally trade. As stated
before, we understand that some people find it easier to promote a product
than to trade themselves, but it doesn't mean you have to settle for that. Ask for recent brokerage account statements so you can be sure they trade their own signals.
|
| Yes No | Can they show a history of client satisfaction? |
| q q | This is a must to show that the approach is teachable to traders
with various backgrounds and trading histories. This could
consist of letters from clients, client's brokerage account statements, etc. Click here to see a diverse sample of Natural Order Educators client success history.
|
| Yes No | Is the training and support individualized? |
| q q | Many firms will ship you out a product with a good luck letter.
If they provide you with support it will likely
be a technician who doesn't trade or a salesman trying to entice you
with another product. Others want to pack you into a room with up to 100 other traders, because that is what is convenient and profitable for them. You are an individual. Your background, experience level, learning curve and targets are unique to you. If a program is not tailored to your needs, it will not be optimally effective for you. Every aspect of the Natural Order program is individualized.
|
| Yes No | Does the program or product encourage and facilitate independence? |
| q q | You want to learn an approach that will free you from your
dependence on brokers, advisories, product updates, etc. You
want methods, skills and techniques you can apply now and in the
future - no matter what the markets choose to do. Use caution when dealing with any company selling a myriad of products. If they were all important and necessary, why wouldn't they come together in one comprehensive package at one price. This multi- product approach may be great for their marketing department, but it's probably not good for you. At Natural Order Educators, we do only one thing - develop winning traders. The program is designed so you can go out at the end of your 60 day training with everything you need now and in the future. Consistent application of these methods, skills and techniques will allow you to adapt and evolve as a trader regardless of market conditions.
