Welcome to NavigationTrading!

You are now part of a growing group of “do it yourself” traders who are trying
to change the way investors think about building wealth. But, because we
don’t believe in using /inancial advisors, stock tips, or traditional /inancial
media, we have to do things differently…we have to do things smarter. We do
that through an art and a science we call Trade Hacking.

Definition:
Trade – The action of buying and selling
Hacking – An ef/icient method of modifying a task in a skillful and clever way

At NavigationTrading, our methodology is based on statistics and


probabilities, not hype or emotion. Our core strategies have been used by
Market Makers, Hedge Funds and Floor traders for many years. We use actual
math behind our strategies. (Don’t worry, you don’t need to be an advanced
mathematician to be a successful trader. If you made it through math class in
4th grade, you will do just /ine :)

It’s impossible to win on every


trade, but what if you could
leverage the probabilities, so
that you could win more than
you lose? Rather than basing
your trades on emotion, hype,
and worthless predictions…you
simply check a couple of data
points, and execute the trade.

If the probabilities are IN YOUR


FAVOR, you place a trade and
then close your laptop for the
day.

If the probabilities are NOT IN YOUR FAVOR, you don’t place a trade and you
close your laptop for the day.

6
What if by doing just that, day-in and day-out, you could beat the market…and
not by 1%, but potentially by 10%, 30%, 50%, or much more!

How would that feel? Pretty good right?

This book should serve as your daily guide to becoming The Ultimate Trade
Hacker.

Let’s get started!


The NavigationTrading Team

The NavigationTrading
Methodology
Successful trading starts with placing High Probability trades.
There are 3 simple rules to /inding High Probability trades:

Rule #1 - Liquidity
Choose a symbol with liquid options (lots of volume, and tight bid/ask spreads).
We have done the heavy lifting for you! Download The Ultimate Strategy Watch
List below.

symbols to trade for each strategy

Rule #2 – Implied Volatility (IV)

FromThe Ultimate Strategy Watch List,


determine if the symbol has High IV, or
Low IV.

Implied Volatility (IV) is our “Edge” for


taking consistent pro/its out of the market.
Since we know that IV is overstated
compared to actual volatility approximately
85% of the time, we want to be net sellers of
options when IV is high. We can still make
money trading our methodology when IV
is low, but our pro/its and winning
percentage increase dramatically when we wait for opportunities of High
Implied Volatility (Later in this guide, we will teach you a strategy to pro/it in
periods of low IV as well).

Think about a professional hitter in the Major Leagues. He may get on base by
swinging at a pitch that’s out of the strike zone. But, the best hitters in baseball,
wait for THEIR pitch, take a good swing, and get on base consistently.

We are not home run hitters! We want to consistently hit singles and doubles.
Sometimes we may go through a “slump”, but we can’t get discouraged. As long as
we stay mechanical with our trading, the probabilities will play out in our favor
over time.

“ Wethecreated a custom indicator to help you determine
level of Implied Volatility, for each symbol you
trade, in a matter of seconds.

Implied Volatility Percentile (IV%) - Measures the percentage of days that a
symbol’s IV was lower than it’s current level over the previous 252 trading days.
(Yellow Line)

Implied Volatility Rank (IVR) - Implied Volatility average, compared to it’s


yearly high and low. (Green Line)

Now, don’t let the jargon confuse you. While the underlying calculations may be
complex, we have simpli/ied it with the NavigationTrading IV Indicator.

So, how do we determine if IV is high?

We created a custom indicator to help you determine the level of Implied


Volatility, for each symbol you trade, in a matter of seconds.

The NavigationTrading IV Indicator consists of two plotted lines (See chart


below):

Here’s how it works:

1) We draw a “line in the sand” at the 50% level

2) If EITHER the Green or Yellow line are above 50, we consider that High IV

3) If BOTH lines are below 50, we consider that Low IV

That’s it! Pretty simple, right?

POSITION SIZING
The size of our trades relative to the amount of capital in our trading account is critical to
success as a trader. I cannot emphasize this enough. The difference between a successful
trader, and a losing trader can be de/ined by the size of the trade relative to your account
value. If you trade too large for your account, it is just a matter of time that you will suffer
a signi/icant loss that cripples your account.

Every day when the market opens, it presents new trading opportunities. As a newer
trader, you may initially suffer from a common trader condition called FOMOOT –
Fear Of Missing Out On Trades. If the condition isn’t cared for, it could be detrimental
to your trading career!

Trading is all about math, and letting the probabilities play out in your favor. If you
trade too big, and suffer a major loss in your account, the probabilities will never play
out.

Here are some rules to follow so you can live to trade another day:

5% Rule – Don’t allocate more than 5% of your trading capital to any one
position. Preferably much less. We typically use less than 1% of capital per trade.

50% Rule – Don’t allocate more than 50% of your total account value to ALL
trades. Remember, options use leverage. We can earn a signi/icant return with less
capital at risk. We typically use much less than 50% of our capital, so that when IV
spikes to high levels, we have the capital available to take advantage of the
opportunity.

TRUE DIVERSIFICATION

Many “Investment Experts” say that portfolio diversi/ication can reduce risk. While
this is true, their interpretation of diversi/ication is much different than ours. They
conclude that having a variety of LONG stocks, bonds and cash as being diversi/ied.

How does that type of “diversi/ication” hold up in periods of a market meltdown like
we saw in 2008? If you were invested in a 401k or any type of mutual fund portfolio
at the time, you most likely saw losses of 20% in a very conservative portfolio, all the
way up to 60%+ losses in a more stock heavy allocation.

60
The problem with this traditional diversi/ication methodology is that when panic
enters the market place, all of those so called “diversi/ied assets” become extremely
correlated. So, you basically have a diversi/ied allocation when markets are moving
up - when you need it the least. But, when the market moves down quickly, the assets
become extremely correlated, and less diversi/ied - when you need it the most.

Let’s take a look at the 5 ways to create TRUE DIVERSIFICATION that actually reduces
risk in all market environments:

1) Diversify Your Symbols – Allocate your trades among multiple different stocks,
ETFs, Futures and Indices. Many stocks and indexes move together.

2) Diversify Your Asset Classes – Utilize uncorrelated assets such as stocks,


bonds, gold, oil, natural gas, currencies, grains etc.

3) Diversify Your Strategy – Use a mix of the different strategies we teach.

• Bullish Strategies
• Bearish Strategies
• Delta Neutral Strategies
• High IV Strategies
• Low IV Strategies
• Unde/ined Risk Strategies
• De/ined Risk Strategies

4) Diversify Your Time - Allocate your trades over a period of time. If you plan to
place 10 trades, instead of placing them all in one day, spread them out over
several days or weeks. So, as the markets move, you can be positioned over
different prices and market environments.

5) Diversify Your Entry Price – Allocate your trades across different prices. If you
plan to enter a trade with 20 contracts. Consider /irst entering with 5. Wait for
price to move a bit, then enter another 5. Continue entering trades until you
have on the total intended position size.
