What TradingMarkets Does and How We Trade We buy weakness (pullbacks) and we sell strength (run-ups). Most everything we do is quantified with at least 10 years of rigorous testing. We have done this with numerous systems and methodologies we have published (and still trade) including: Always Buy Value (ABV), TradingMarkets Capital Appreciation Program (TMCAP), Raptor-I, Raptor-II, Advanced Windows, PowerRatings, and now %b. We use these methodologies with corporate money, personal money, and private investment money. This does not guarantee that we, nor anyone else, will make money in the future. This is how we trade; it’s been successful for us, and for many repeat customers. In many programs, we provide money-back guarantees by returning the cost of the program to our customers if they don’t make money over a one-year period of time. 3

What is The 5-Day Bollinger Bands %b System? Bollinger Bands were created by John Bollinger and have been used by traders for many years. Numerous traders have used them to guide their buying and selling decisions. The bands have been used on an intra-day and daily basis, along with being used in most markets, including stocks, futures and Forex. As far as we know, we are the first company to apply the Bollinger Bands in a quantified systematic manner. The results from this systematic approach are the highest performing portfolio methodology we've published to date. 4

Who Created The 5-Day Bollinger Bands %b System and Who Your Instructor Will Be The main researcher behind the 5-Day Bollinger Bands %b System is Cesar Alvarez, Director of Research for Connors Research Group. Cesar was a senior designer of Excel in the 1990's, helping Microsoft create Excel. For the past 6 years Cesar has been a professional investor and researcher. Cesar has been in the forefront of stock market research, having developed a number of successful trading systems now used by numerous investors and fund managers in the United States and internationally. Steve Primo, Director of Education for TradingMarkets and former floor Specialist on the Pacific Stock Exchange, will be your primary instructor. 5

Why does %b Work? There is ample statistical evidence that stocks tend to move from oversold to overbought conditions and viceversa. The %b Methodology uses a systematic, quantified approach to identify when stocks are very oversold. We then enter these stocks at levels which have historically risen. Then, after the stocks rally, we look to take advantage of the rally by exiting into strength (the average holding period has been approximately 5 days). On average nearly 3 out of every 4 signals have been profitable since 1995, with the winning trades averaging just over 8% per trade. This systematic process is then done over and over again each trading day. 24

%b Has Worked For The Following Reasons: 1. It buys numerous momentum pullbacks at levels at which stocks have historically risen. 2. It exits at levels which have historically identified the end of the short-term momentum move. 3. It has been quantified on over 11 years of signals with thousands and thousands of %b signals.

25

How does %b work?

Here is the %b Six Step Formula…

26

How does %b work? Step #1 Each day you will identify strong uptrending momentum stocks which have had sharp pullbacks over the past few days. The 5-day Bollinger Bands %b System combines Bollinger Bands, trend, pullback, volatility, volume and portfolio management techniques to diversify your portfolio.

27

How does %b work? Step #2 You will wait for these strong stocks to have a further pullback the upcoming day. All of your entries will be at specific levels lower than the previous days close. Our research has found that uptrending stocks which pull back sharply tend to rise sharply over the near-term. %b uses a proprietary Bollinger Band set-up which has never before been published. 28

How does %b work?

Step #3 You will then use a small (fixed) portion of your portfolio and buy the stock(s) below the previous days close.

29

How does %b work?

Step #4 You will buy up to 10 stocks for %b which have the same pull-back characteristics.

30

How does %b work?

Step #5 You will exit your %b positions when the stocks give an sell signal. No more guessing when to get out of a trade!

31

How does %b work?

Step #6 You will repeat this same procedure over and over again every day.

32
