FAQ
Welcome to Rapid Profit Trader, our exclusive momentum-trading system.
By joining Rapid Profit Trader, you’ll be able to target stocks making large runs in the market, and then make enormous profit off them following a proven options strategy.
Paul is the creator of this strategy, which he developed after realizing that most investors had difficulty timing exactly when to get into a stock or index. That’s why he avoids the typical “buy low, sell high” mentality.
Instead, Paul follows a lesser-known strategy: “buy high, sell higher.” He, along with his internal analyst Ian Dyer, wait until they see a stock making a huge run in the market. Then they use their three-step strategy to determine if it’s likely to keep moving higher over a short period of time.
If it meets all of their criteria, Ian and Paul will find an option on the stock. It’s that easy.

General Questions
What kind of investing experience does Ian Dyer have? (Answered by Ian) (click to expand)
Stocks became a passion of mine while I was attending Duquesne University, where I majored in finance and opened my own, first trading account. While I made good returns on my initial investments, it wasn’t long before I wanted something that would give me even greater gains than stocks alone.
That’s when I discovered options. I was intrigued by the returns I could get with such a small amount of money risked. For me, the rest was history. I’ve continued to educate myself on the ins and outs of the markets ever since, and I have been hard at work developing my own options trading strategies.
I joined Banyan Hill Publishing in June of 2014, with the role of educating customers on the specifics of stock and options trading. I loved helping new investors learn the trading processes that had quickly become my obsession.
After years of studying under other gurus’ investment techniques, it was finally time to put my own methods to the test. In June of 2017, I moved into an internal analyst role under Paul , helping him co-edit Rapid Profit Trader and Rebound Profit Trader.
How did you develop your Rapid Profit Trader system? (click to expand)
One of the greatest lessons I learned was that you can’t let your emotions get in the way of your strategy. See, many investors end up making the same mistakes. They’ll either buy when a stock is low and sell when it’s high, or they’ll buy a stock and hold onto it forever.While these tried and true strategies have their place in the world, they’re not for me. In fact, neither of these methods work best for the part-time investor at home.
That’s because following both strategies can cause you to miss out on enormous gains once a stock begins to rise. For that reason, I’m more interested in shorter-term momentum trading.
That’s the essence of the Rapid Profit Trader system: find what’s in the most demand, and get in and out for a quick profit. These profits can add up, and I believe with the right discipline, can be used to beat Wall Street.
Portfolio Questions
Do you recommend stocks or options? (click to expand)
I’m new to the service. Should I buy previous recommendations that are still open? (click to expand)
We do not recommend buying into previously recommended positions after we have recommended them. While the expiration dates for those options are far out, we rarely hold them to the expiration dates. Sometimes, we can hold a position for less than a week!
On the day of the recommendation, we suggest limit prices in the trade alert, and depending on when you join, those prices might not be relevant any longer. Options are much more volatile than stocks, so buying into the positions on a different day from our recommendation can be risky.
I’ve never traded options before. What should I do to get started? (click to expand)
It’s my goal to make this new process as easy and worry free for you as possible. If you’re at all worried about the possibility of losing money with options, my advice would be to not invest any money into this service that you can’t afford to lose.If you need any assistance with options terminology, I suggest watching our options trading tutorials or reading through the Options 101 Guide on the Getting Started page of our website.
Also, most brokerage services offer “paper trading” accounts for you to practice with. These are accounts that you can get for free and trade in using “play money.” This allows you to get a feel for how options trading words, and lets you simulate my trades before putting real money into this service.
How often will you give recommendations? (click to expand)
When our system spots a new opportunity to buy options, we’ll send you a trade alert immediately with your action to take. The amount of trades we send will depend on the market at the time. But don’t worry — we will always find the very best trade recommendations for you!
These will be easy to identify. Just look out for “Trade Alert” in the subject line of our emails.
How much money should I put into each recommendation? (click to expand)
While I’m not allowed to give personalized investment advice, I would suggest putting an equal amount of money into each recommendation. This is called equal-weighting your portfolio.
Remember, while options provide a way to make enormous gains in the market, a 100% loss is always possible. So please don’t put any more money into this system than you can afford to lose.
What if the price goes up and I cannot get into a position? (click to expand)
I will set a range for each recommendation that you should “buy up to” as a guide for placing orders. For example, if an option is trading at $2, I may say to “buy up to 2.40.”
In that case, I would not recommend spending more than $2.40 for a contract. Remember, if you can’t get into a position, be patient. We trade often enough that you won’t have to wait too long for our next opportunity.
How do you pick your investments?(click to expand)
There are three primary things that I look for when making a recommendation: momentum trajectory, momentum consistency and exchange-traded fund (ETF) profitability. For those unfamiliar with the term, an ETF is simply a basket of different assets that can be traded like any common stock.Momentum trajectory means that I want the momentum of the ETF I’m tracking to be continuously rising. So, if one of the ETFs is ranked at 40, and then steadily rises to 80 over a couple of weeks, it has great momentum trajectory.
Momentum consistency is when an ETF’s ranking stays consistently high. If an ETF’s ranking bounces around from 20 to 70, then goes back to 40, it’s not consistent. It’s also not as reliable as an ETF that’s ranked in the 70s or 80s for several weeks straight.
Lastly, ETF profitability is simply the market return of the ETF over the past month. When an ETF is consistently leading the market, I look to find the best-performing stocks within that ETF. One of the determining factors I look for is whether or not the stock is making new 52-week highs.
It also has to have high liquidity, meaning that the price won’t bounce around too much when Ian and I go to issue a recommendation.
