Matthew Ray Russell is a leading global influencer in stock, options and forex trading.
He is Canadian born, travels the world and currently resides primarily in the Caribbean.
He started his first business at seventeen and has been a full time entrepreneur since.
He first started on the markets working for a Wall Street titan on assessing stock market trading system on penny stocks and small caps stocks. Then he join the forex proprietary trading desk of a major US bank, developing different options strategy to dinamically hedge currency trades.
His personal style has evolved from value investor, to swing trader, then day trader and more recently adding algorithmic trading structures and machine trading to his repertoire.
His edge is in exploiting short-term technical information that most traders would not have access to and fundamental / conventional trading discipline in detail, detail, detail. He is considered by institutional clients as one of the best structural traders in the business.
In his words, “My best skill-set does include day-to-day management in running a trading system. My best offered skill-sets are trading strategies modeling (which does assist day-traders, swing and options traders), trader mentoring, coaching and market advice as it relates to short to medium term investing (market inflection).”
His style is best suited to those that treat trading and investing as a serious endeavor whether it be trading part time, swing trading or full time daytrading. Specific to day trading or short swings you will typically find him in market for a short period of time and in stock equities that have sector momentum, specific chart set-ups or a news catalyst. He avoids risk like the plague.
His goal is to compound his wins at 1% or more per day (what he refers to as compound trading). You will regularly find him starting a small account challenging himself to compounding it over a specific period of time.
He will also trade momentum stocks in the morning (or when news is breaking), specifically when the set-up is unusually attractive and he will also swing trade equities when the market is in a predictable uptrend and not at risk. He regularly trades futures, stocks, options, currency and crypto related instruments.
The knowledge gained while learning the technical mechanics of being an expert compound trader will undoubtedly increase your win rate and make you a better trader with momentum plays, swing trading and value investing. If you can maintain a decently high win-rate then you only need to take one to three trades per day to achieve the desired result.
One of the most important components is limiting loss. In other words, if you are wanting a .20 – .40 gain for a 1% – 2% gain on a 20.00 stock then you better limit your downside to .5 to .10 cents – a disciplined stop loss method becomes critical.
Another important component is liquidity. In other words, sizing in to a trade as your account gets larger can be more difficult (as can chipping out your exit). This is mitigated in a number of ways, primarily through choosing market or sector trades with huge liquidity and also with more frequent trading.
He knows that 90% or more day traders lose and that most consider a 60% win-rate a good to great record, but he doesn’t buy in to that and does not accept a win rate less than 80% as good.
You will find him aggressively transparent and as you allow, aggressively committed to seeing every trader in his group “over-the-wall to freedom through mastery of trading".
