A unique $100 trade can grow any small account every 19 days
I was one of a handful of people on earth who saw billions of trading data points… on what strategies worked, what popular strategies didn’t.
This $100 trade is the very best, most consistent trade to grow a small account with little chance of going broke.
Hey, this is Don Kaufman.
And I’m going to show you the absolute, very best way to grow a small, teeny-tiny account into one making thousands per month.
It’ll all start with this $100 bill and a $100 Trade.
Why a “$100 Trade?”
Because that’s how much the trade costs, of course!
Any small or large account can do this $100 trade and it wins nearly 70% of the time.
I’m guessing it’s not a strategy you’ve seen before… but it’s easy to pick up.
Now, don’t get me wrong… growing a small account doesn’t happen overnight. Anyone serious knows there are no short cuts. And those that promise them… well let’s say we don’t break bread often. It’s going to take you trading, my friend. And I mean T-R-A-D-I-N-G with my expertise and your effort.
But it’s not what you think.
I know there’s lots of strategies and so-called ‘experts’ out there telling you:
Hey, you need to know how to day trade…
No! Actually, learn how to swing trade. Buy this option. No, don’t do that… sell options for income.
Or…
Follow this Fibonacci, magic line on the chart and it’ll lead you to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you leprechaun.
I’m here to tell you… and listen closely… most of these strategies DO NOT work.
In fact, most of these types of strategies will lose you money. A-LOT of money.
And it hurts.
How do I know?
Because I’ve seen inside millions of trading accounts.
Oh, that sounds creepy, Don!
Actually, I was one of the rare few on the planet who has gotten this type of access into trading accounts, including peeking into many accounts of regular people like you.
I’ve gotten to see all the successes and failures of the beginner traders, even the famous ones.
How?
Well, I was one of the earliest employees of ThinkorSwim… the most prestigious trading platform on earth. I started right in 2001 as online trading took off.
We built the platform with the very best, most elaborate data there is. (we then sold it to TD Ameritrade for over $700M…that story’s coming later).
Me and the team would go through billions… I’m talking billions with a B…. data points.
And we would get a front row seat to every strategy.
“Oh, covered calls are always profitable.” --- no they’re not.
“Buy options when the 10-day moving average crosses over the 20-day line with the MACD…blah blah.” --- Those trades rarely are profitable over the long run.
A 57% winner in 19 days on JP Morgan…
A 55% winner in just 9 days on Coke…
A 49% winner in 5 days again on TLT…
Followed by a 41% winner in 5 days on XLP.
I personally have made 10,000+ of these $100 trades over the last decade. I’ve lost count actually.
And trading has given me a pretty good life.
I’m writing this from my house in St. Croix in the Virgin Islands.
Or, on TD Ameritrade’s (now Schwab) TV… featured in US News.
My strategies landed me on the frontpage of Investors Business Daily
I’ve helped over 7 MILLION people, from all backgrounds, learn how to trade…yeah millions.
Trading is not a small pond. There’s room for millions of people to trade and to trade well. There’s opportunities for way more people to learn this stuff…
You just have to learn the right way to make money trading.
So put all your preconceived ideas aside and let me share a crazy truth with you.
You can make good money trading with just $100.
Impossible, Don! That’s madness!
Like I said, I’ve seen behind the curtain.
At the ThinkorSwim offices… we would pour some coffee, then pore over mountains of trading data.
No charts to draw your fantasies on…
Forget all that…
Just load up this one column inside your trading platform.
This mystery column is just MATH! Meaning, our trades are objective, not guessing!
Now, probability alone doesn’t mean a strategy works.
You can do credit spreads that have 70-80% win rates and still get demolished on one losing trade.
Meaning, 8 trades win, but that 1 loser takes out all your gains and then some.
The $100 trade is set up where as long as you win 70% of your trades… you could make money. EVEN if all your losing trades go to zero.
Yes, zero. All your money goes down the toilet… you could still come out ahead.
That’s the real edge in this strategy. Because your risk is so well capped, it can go down in the dumps and you still can laugh in Wall Street’s face.
Take this one $100 trade…
By mid-May, you were already profitable including the loss on Microsoft. After just 5 trades.
Because probability is on your side… your losses are capped even if you lose 100%.
Win… win… win… win…
Losing’s never tasted so good.
It happened again in November.
A 100% loss on the energy ETF, XLE. Oh no! Panic button!
I’m letting trades go to ZERO! It’s okay… as the next trades are big winners
Every $100 returned $502… Every $1,000, you got back $5,020 in a month.
YES! You can make money from the popular names without risking it all.
As you may tell…I’m not promising you’re going to make a fortune doing this $100 Trade.
But it’s a way to slowly grow your small account over time.
It helps you build the tools to win. Winning traders are confident traders. Confident traders make money.
I’ll give you all the tools you need.
One of my resources will be a free bonus I’ll share in a moment.
First… how did I discover the $100 Trade?
Well…
I grew up around traders. It’s in my blood.
There’s absolutely no better way to make a fortune in life, then through the stock market.
The market was NEGATIVE 20% YTD at the time.
I was up $128,000 and some change in my account. And that’s from just putting on a few trades at a time. I was massively in the green.
I’ll regularly share my actual trading profits for the day/week/month. Here I was up $128k
The idea behind the $100 Trade is simple.
That’s why some directional gunslinger who hits big on Gamestop or something eventually loses it all.
The market has the edge. Sometimes they’re like a sleeping lion in the grass… waiting for you to mess up and pounce.
Everyone who started ‘trading’ in 2020 has crashed back to earth
Trading lesson learned from a billionaire trader I sat next to in my early days
There was this older trader I sat next to while in Chicago.
This guy was a magician, constantly printing money.
He eventually became a billionaire. Not one of those flashy ones that end up in Forbes. No real billionaire wants to be in Forbes. True billionaires just want to be left the hell alone.
Well, I was watching him trade.
He must’ve had 100 trades going at once.
I’m thinking, “How the heck does this guy keep track of all this? Is he some genius, went-to-college-at-age-15 type of person?”
So I asked him about his setup.
He told me he puts on a bunch of high-probability trades and lets time do its thing.
“Well, how do you know when to sell?” I asked. After all, there’s 100+ trades going on at once. There’s no way he can keep track of them all.
He looks at me like I’m a moron --- “I sell when I make money you dummy.”
At the time, I didn't get it.
Duh.
Of course you sell when you make money. But When? WHEN?!?
Years later, when I found the $100 trade, it made sense.
What do most traders get wrong?
They get wrong a few things:
1. Will a stock go in the direction I want?
That’s a coin flip.
2. Will a stock move in the direction I want in the timeframe I want?
Another coin flip.
3. Will a stock move in the direction I want, in the timeframe I want, and to the price target I want.
If you want a $50 stock to go up in 1 week… it going up to $50.05 in 1 week technically means “you got the direction right.” But you just wasted a week to make a nickel.
No, you have a goal of that stock hopefully going to $52, $53 in a week or so.
Do the math on this.
You have three coin flip scenarios.
50/50 divided by 50/50 divided by 50/50 equals a ⅙ chance (16%) you get the outcome you want.
Meaning, you get the direction, timeframe and momentum of move all right at once.
That’s a 16% chance it happens.
But I have some Bollinger band strategy that gives me an edge!
Guys, I’ve seen it all.
Every strategy when you need directional bias, time, and momentum on your side is a 20-30% gamble at best.
And, I already showed you, over time, it’s very hard to make money that way.
Now, there are advanced strategies you can learn which can make you money even with these low odds.
But those are NOT for beginners.
To be all in your favor.
That’s why a $100 trade works.
A $100 Trade neutralizes ALL 3 of these things in one simple trade.
And you don’t need a ton of money to put on the trade.
Just $100.
The way to neutralize all 3 of these things and make money is simple.
You’re hedging both your risk but also your upside.
I can’t cap my upside! I need to hit a monster trade and retire!
That’s not what trading is. You’re better off sitting at the roulette table with that attitude.
You have to be smart with your trading where you’re playing the probability of the markets. That’s all trading is.
It’s not guessing if Tesla will be the biggest carmaker in the world or if some small penny stock will be the ‘next Google.’
Trading is all probabilities.
You simply need to tilt the probabilities in your favor and be willing to accept limited risk, but also limit your upside to protect your account.
When Mark Cuban sold his startup, Broadcast.com, for $5.4 billion to Yahoo! in April 1999, part of his payment was $1.4 billion in Yahoo! stock.
Now, Yahoo! was trading around $95 at the time. The average person in 1999 at the peak tech bubble frenzy would’ve bet their life savings Yahoo! stock would keep running higher.
Cuban wasn’t willing to risk unlimited downside for unlimited upside.
What did he do?
The stock traded at $95… he bought option puts for $85 and sold call options around the $205 strike.
The calls he sold capped his upside to $205 because he was selling an option to another trader giving them the option to buy his shares at $205 even if the stock was higher.
Yahoo! did go higher… to $230, in fact. Cuban saw his shares more than double in value from $95 to his cap of $205…
Still, he kept buying puts to protect his downside.
Sure enough, the tech bubble popped less than a year later, Yahoo! sunk faster than the Titanic. Many lost their shirts, but Cuban kept his fortune intact.
All because he protected his max loss… but also was willing to cap his upside.
Why do this?
#1. You’re protecting your portfolio balance. No one trade should be able to bankrupt you.
#2. By capping your upside, you drastically increase the probability you make money over time because your losses are smaller.
The way we’ll do this with a $100 trade is with a special kind of option trade called a spread.
(not the options spread you’re used to hearing about)
Now, I know what you’re thinking.
Ah, Don, you said the O-WORD! That’s too complicated for me, I’ll lose all my money with options!
Keep your pants on.
We are not going to be doing spreads or trading options like anyone else you’ve listened to.
We’re not doing credit spreads where you pick up pennies in front of a steamroller (unless you do it right… and most don’t).
We’re not buying cheap options hoping to hit the Powerball. That’s a cross-your-fingers-and-pray bet. All or nothing, baby!
No.
We’re putting on an options spread trade that will only cost us $100… but gives us the potential to earn up to $100… or we lose the $100.
If we lose the $100, it’s okay.
Over the long run, we will make money doing this.
I’ve traded this strategy, like I said, 10,000+ times. You can grow an account by thousands following how I’ll show you.
Here’s why we want to trade options:
First, it’s cheaper than buying shares.
Second, you can limit your risk unlike stocks. Stock can go down to $0. Probably won’t, but it can drop 20-30% overnight. Ask any tech investor.
Third, even stock traders should know this…
The Options chain gives you some killer data. Man, it’s just a goldmine.
Take a look at this Options chain again.
The column I have hidden is the most important one for if you plan to use the $100 trade.
The “DELTA” tells you how much an options price will change with every $1 in the stock.
It’s also used as a rough estimate to how likely an option will end up in the money at expiration.
For example, if there’s a Delta of 0.41. It means there’s a 41% chance the option will end up expiring at that strike price + $0.01.
That’s some cool data to know if you buy stock. That by the expiration date… whether that’s 1 week, 1 month, a few months… the chance a stock will be at that price is 41%.
Good to know, right?
The column I have hidden is the most important one for if you plan to use the $100 trade.
Because it will tell you the exact percentage chance a stock will hit that strike price at any point before expiration.
If the stock does hit that price point, our option will be in the GREEN.
If it’s in the green… we’re golden at that point. Gold, Jerry, Gold!
Over 4 years, my win rate is about 70%.
That’s exactly what we’re going for and almost exactly the % my Gold Column tells me when I set up the trade.
Show me the trade, Don! So, here’s how we put on a $100 spread trade.
With the $100 trade, you risk less and win more than a normal trade
Selling that PUT for this particular trade gives us a credit of $1.72 or $172.
Netted together, we only owe $90 for this trade.
With how I set this trade, I’m looking to WIN $2, but only lose $98. There’s a 70% chance we get this trade right based on the options chain probability.
It’s all math over time. We know we’re winning 70%, letting some go to zero, the rest win… we have a chance to make money over the long haul.
How do I calculate ‘winning $2’ in the trade?
I’ll share that with you in more detail in a free bonus.
For this trade…
6 days later, the stock did move in our favor and we sold for $1.25 or $125 for a 39% return.
Normally, I want to sell for a 55-65% gain.
However, when the trade moves that fast into profit within a week, you nail down the win.
Like my billionaire mentor said, Sell when the trade’s profitable, dummy!
Here’s the kicker…
If the trade doesn’t work out, I can simply hold it until expiration and lose the $98. Doesn’t matter. Guess work is now GONE.
So why does this $100 trade work while most other strategies for beginners don’t?
- Be consistent with how you trade the $100 strategy
- Be prudent on allocating no more than 5% per trade
- Be disciplined to stick with it through thick and thin
This trade I let run as it wasn’t until Day 17, the spread hit a 60% return and I automatically sold.
Every $242 got back $386.
Here’s another trade…on American Express.
Cost $166 to get in…
Banked a 172% return over 3 weeks. That’s a monster homerun. We’re mostly looking for singles and doubles, but a big win like this is nice to mix in.
Here’s a trade on Caterpillar I closed in 4 days:
This one cost $240 and you nailed down a 31% return.
I love trading Caterpillar, I do it all the time.
That’s boring, Don!
If a ticker is a money-maker for you, why not go back to the well.
Here’s another bearish trade on XLF.
Closed in 10 days for a 63% winner.
This trade cost $258 to put on, but I automatically sold and got it while not at my computer.
And, yes, I automatically sold.
This is another beauty of the $100 trade.
You NEVER have to sell.
You can let the spread expire worthless = you do nothing.
You can set up a profit target to sell the spread when it hits it = you do nothing.
Put on a bunch of trades, go live your life, go on vacation, leave your laptop at home… and come back and see how your trades did.
You don't need to close them out if you don’t want to.
You can, and I have rules you can follow if you wish to cut your losses to save some cash. That’s ok. But you have to stick to those rules. Consistency.
The minute you start ‘ad-libbing’ your trading, it’s over. You’ll join the ranks of those who took off then crashed back down to earth. Mayday!
As you get better… and your account grows… your trades start compounding fast.
