How is it possible to profit in any market?

Mainscale APS™ establishes target entry points for a portfolio of stock that meets our investment criteria. We diversify into different sectors to avoid overloading in any particular segment. We typically target $4.00 and below stocks to provide flexibility and limit downside capital losses. We establish buy and sell limit orders GTC allowing you to profit when the stock increases and buy more of the stock for future profits when it decreases.

What do I do if the stock price decreases?

Remember we have selected fundamentally sound stocks that we think will perform well in the long run. Our scale trading system establishes predetermined buy points on our selected stocks and trade on the typical up and down gyrations. This is fundamentally different than averaging down on random stocks.

Can you give me an example of how I profit when the stock price decreases?

If you own 2,000 shares of a $2.00 per share stock and it decreases, for example, to $1.45, then your predetermined buy order of $1.50, for example, is automatically triggered at $1.50. You now own 4,000 shares and wait for the stock to reach your new sell order GTC of $2.00, for example and you realize a profit of 2,000 shares @ $.50 per share or $1,000. You have just made a 14% profit and an annualized return that can exceed 1,000% depending on the number of days this stock traded…you can repeat this system over and over again!!!
