1-2-3 Trader
The premise of the 1-2-3 Trader is simple: Editor Jim Stanton will show you how to use the same strategies that the world’s top traders and professional money managers do to consistently score market-beating returns.
While many investors continue to struggle for ways to beat the stock market, you’ll have exclusive access to a powerful, computerized system that nails down the movement of markets and stocks with pinpoint accuracy. By telling you what’s going to happen, when it will occur, and how much the asset could move, you’re in a rare position to know how to take advantage - and when.
At the helm is lead editor Jim Stanton - a guy with three decades of stock market experience as a stockbroker and commodity trader, portfolio manager, CTA, and consultant. Prominently featured in Winner’s Circle Magazine, he’s refined a unique trading system based on pattern recognition - a system that led to a recent two-year audited return of 258%.
As Jim states, “I’ve spent 30+ years evaluating markets and stocks by studying specific market activity such as trend, price, time and volume for private clients and hedge funds - and made folks a good chunk of money along the way. Now I’m going to do the same for you. Simply put, you have a big edge. Every piece of information you need to profit is contained in each alert that you receive from us…”
How 1-2-3 Works In The Real World Of Investing
The reason the 1-2-3 Trader system is so successful is because it blends two powerful forms of analysis:
Technical Analysis: The method of evaluating markets and stocks by studying specific technical trends. This includes chart pattern recognition, support and resistance points, numerical sequences, and many more.
Precise Quantitative Research: This subset of technical analysis is more oriented toward numbers and statistics. Our system uses quantitative research to make sure the statistical odds are stacked in our favor and technical analysis to help us time our investments.
Once analysis of an index or stock is complete, Jim sends a trade alert sent directly to subscribers’ e-mail. But don’t expect any confusing mumbo-jumbo. Each one is concise and easy to follow. You’ll find out what factors are driving the market or individual stock higher (or lower), a short summary of the reasons behind the trade - and step-by-step instructions on how to play the data and why.
You can either send these instructions to your broker in terms he’ll easily understand, or you can go online to your Internet account and do it yourself. There’s no second-guessing, or deciphering. You can enter a limit order with your broker to ensure that you get in at the correct price. We don’t suggest that you buy outside the recommended entry price range. These are given for a reason - to give you the best chance of obtaining optimum profits.
Not only that, you’ll often receive two different ways to play each recommendation: Either trading the underlying stock or making an options play.
Here’s how it works…
Stock Plays:
~ The name of the investment, along with the ticker symbol.
~ Specific “action to take.” This includes:
a) Direction: This will either be long or short, along with a price range that tells you where you should enter
b) Stop-Loss: We’ll give you a specific price at which you should place your stop-loss, so you can protect your equity in case the trade doesn’t go our way.
c) Profit Target: When appropriate, you’ll get an initial profit target level where we’ll recommend you take profits on half/all the position. In addition, we’ll also issue instructions on how to adjust your trailing-stop on the second half of a profitable position)
Options Plays:
Just like a stock play, we’ll give you exact directions, including:
~ The name of the investment, the options’ expiration month, strike price, and whether it’s a call or put, followed by the option symbol. We’ll also give you the same stop-loss and profit target information, as shown above.
Keep in mind that while options give you the potential for larger returns, they can also be more volatile. That’s why we’ll always select the option that gives us the best reward-to-risk ratio.
And in reality…

Opportunity Alert - #450
** Trade Alert: Boeing
Boeing (NYSE: BA) has a bearish daily chart pattern and is currently testing its 50-day moving average, which is at $80.75. Yesterday’s action triggered shorter term sell signals that should take the stock down to at least the $79.55 area over the near term, which is below the 50 day moving average. Intermediate term, the stock has the potential to trade below $70.
The stock has been trading between $80.50 and $83.50 for the past seven days so we’ll try to get short/buy puts in that area today.
Stock Traders:
Sell short a 50% position in Boeing (NYSE: BA) if the stock trades above $81.20 and sell another 50% position if the stock trades above $82.90.
Option Traders:
Buy a 50% position in the Boeing Aug $85 puts (BATQ) if the stock trades above $81.20 and buy another 50% position if the stock trades above $82.90.
Result: Just three days later - on June 6 - Jim issued a sell order resulting in a 70% profit for anybody who had participated in the trade and followed his instructions.
And that’s just one trade…
Racking Up Gains In 2007…
In 2007, Jim recommended 22 stocks, which resulted in profits of up to 150%. Here are some of his winners:
- iShares Russell 2000 Index (IWM) July $80 puts: Recommended on 6/20/2007, subscribers made a 72% profit in 16 days.
- U.S. Oil Fund ETF (USO) June $49 call: In just over a month, this recommendation made a 53.5% profit.
- Ford (F) June $9 put: A 100% gain in three weeks.
In all of 2007, Jim notched up profits for 1-2-3 Trader subscribers close to 70% of the time. And it’s been the same story in 2008, too…
… And In 2008
Even in the midst of a brutal market, Jim’s Boeing (BA) pick in early June raked in a gain of 80%.
Later that same month, Jim instructed subscribers to execute a short position in Coca Cola (KO) shares and played put options, too. Result? A 5% gain on the stock and a 98% profit on the puts.
In July, his Harley Davidson play initially made a 40% gain, which then soared to a final profit of 100%.
And as you might expect, subscribers are delighted…
What Subscribers Say About The 1-2-3 Trader
“I purchased the options at 3.71 and held on tight to the rollercoaster until 5.30 when I sold them this morning. The system works! EBAY withstood the market drop.”
- Rob
“Very pleasing result!! (Got in at 1.10 and sold at 1.40). Everyone hates a negative statistic in a portfolio. A small positive is vastly better that any negative. I subscribe to many systems such as this at the moment as I am trying to find one that is reliable before I commit serious funds.
“This attitude of getting it as right as possible rather than the need to always be in a trade, displays a high level of discipline and mastery of the psychology of trading. To me, this is the greatest part of the skill set in trading.”
- Steven B.
“I am a new member and just had two great trades - 138% on VZ and 79% on USB puts. Keep up the good work.”
- Gary S.
“Jim, I got in to the KO July puts for $1.85 and out at $3.00 for a 62% gain. I missed this morning’s drop and sold when the stock had bounced up to $5.00 and sat there. 98% would have been even better, but chalk it up to a lesson learned. Great call on the target price BTW! Keep up the good work!!”
- Jeremy
“I got burned with my last option service, so I’m pleased to see this one performing well and I’m confident it will make for a fun and profitable trading year. Thank You!”
- Bill L.
“Jim, I bought my put calls midday on Thursday at $2.95 and sold them Friday morning at $3.88. Not bad for a 20 hour investment. Keep up the good work.”
- Ron R.
“Hello, I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU. I am a new subscriber to your service and got in to the VZOU trade a little late so I was able to enter @ $0.30. Additionally, I bought the USBOU put @ $0.95 just a few days ago. I entered some trade triggers according to your recommended targets and was able to sell the VZOU puts @ $1 and the USBOU puts @ 1.55.
“That’s an incredible 233% and 63% returns respectively in just a matter of days!!! That more than pays for my subscription in my very first trade! Thanks again.”
- Bryan B., Gulf Coast of Texas
