Self-guided independent trader Michael Lamothe says you cannot judge success on any one trade. Success results from having a system that produces good results over time. Every trading strategy will produce some losing trades, but a good trader takes time to conduct a post-trade analysis to learn from the losers.
The A.M.P.D. trading strategy uses protective stops to automatically sell positions when a price falls below a set level. Swing trader Mike Lamothe discusses how using protective stops allows him to take time off from trading without obsessing over his positions, and how protective stops allow him to reduce his “initial capital risk” when taking…
Mark Fishman says stocks have personalities, and having success as an A.M.P.D. trader means finding stocks that match your personality — that is, stocks that behave in a way that complements your personal trading strategy.
Mark Fishman maintains multiple investment portfolios. He has a traditional buy-and-hold portfolio for long-term positions and an active trading portfolio where he practices the A.M.P.D. trading strategy. Each portfolio has its own mechanisms for managing risk — the important thing is not to get them mixed up.
Adam Sarhan says, if your risk is properly managed, the result of any single trade doesn’t really matter in the long run. Success in the market comes from making smart decisions that create a good aggregate result over the course of multiple trades in varying market conditions. Anyone can get lucky every once and a…

John Frost is keeping a model portfolio to test the A.M.P.D. strategy. John talks about using prospective stops to defend against big losses, to lock in gains, and to try to stay in “profit land.” John also discusses the indicators he uses to measure market conditions and explains how he uses A.M.P.D. to decide when…
The “D” in the A.M.P.D. trading strategy stands for “Defense,” and as the markets move into correction territory, defense is key. In today’s podcast, Adam Sarhan talks about how A.M.P.D. traders use protective stops to avoid big drawdowns when the market contracts, and he stresses the wisdom of aligning yourself with market conditions and not…
Over the last month, our guests Michael Lamothe and Dennis Wilborn have told us a little about their swing trading tactics. Swing trading is similar to Adam Sarhan’s A.M.P.D. trading strategy as both use protective stops to manage risk and keep losses small. Swing traders often take profit out once a position reaches predetermined gains…
After a tumultuous period in the market, guest Dennis Wilborn of AutoPilotTraders.com talks about “being in cash” as a viable position for traders, and he discusses the need for traders to create a manageable watchlist to define their universe of trading opportunities.
