We at Retire Platinum have found several different types of people with various situations coming to us to improve their Investment returns and thus their quality of life.

 

Many individuals approaching us are new at investing in stocks, commodities, futures, options or forex.  Others may have already had the experience of working with an Investment advisor.  Some have even considered trading for a living in the stocks, commodities, futures, options or forex arena’s.

Trading for a living….
Lets take a look at a new trader who may be thinking about trading stocks, commodities, futures, options or forex.  They may not have heard about the extremely low percentages of becoming a successful trader (can be 10 or less).  As a less than experienced trader you may well have found yourself overwhelmed with the 1000’s of different trading strategies and methodologies.
Then the realization sets in that you have to sit in front of a computer all day following that strategy, for which you just paid big Bucks, just to make sure its going in your direction.  You may have a full time job or other obligation that may keep you from devoting the time and energy it takes to become the trader you so desire.  Not to mention, the trade you were watching just went against you and you’ve lost all your money?? 

 

OR,

 

The more experienced trader while making small gains on there account have told us they are a psychological wreck because they had to sit at the computer all day for month’s on end only to learn that their account had increased only enough to continue to pay for their direct feed for their data source and yet, had not made the gazillions of dollars that those people that sold them the strategy or methodology, said they would make.  Then there are the every day considerations and questions regarding the need to constantly have your money doing the best that it can. Everyone these days are familiar with the cost of raising a child as well as the increasing cost of a college education.  Now, combine those costs and years it takes to accomplish just those two feats.  Let us show you a way to cut those “costs” and “time” in half using our solutions.

 

We at Retire platinum can help you raise those percentages with some of our Solutions.

We have found a “SOLUTION’ that we implement in our own trading strategies.

 

You read that correctly, we use our own methods, and we refer to it as an Insurance policy.

 

 The real solution is a Money Managed Account in conjunction with your trading or other method of increasing your cash flow, whether it be daily or long term.

 

Formal definition of a managed futures account from Investopedia

 

A Managed Futures Account (MFA) is a form of alternative investments, similar to a mutual fund, that takes long and short positions in a futures contracts, government securities, and or options on futures contracts.  Managed futures are operated by licensed Commodity Trading Advisors, or CTAs, who are regulated in the United States by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the National Futures Association, or NFA. Some are compensated on a performance fee basis, usually 15% to 30% of profits. Other CTAs are compensated by charging a per trade cost whenever the account or fund trades. Most CTAs also charge a maintenance fee per year, usually between 1% to 3% of the account size.  Managed futures accounts include, but are not limited too, commodity pools, commodity funds and the foreign exchange market.  MFAs (managed futures accounts) are generally managed on the basis of technical analysis, and involve going long or short in futures contracts in areas such as metals, grains, equity indexes, currencies and commodities of all kinds. 

 

Retire Platinum’s definition of Managed account

 

The term “managed futures” refers to a 30-year-old industry made up of professional money managers who are known as “commodity trading advisors” (CTA’S).  CTA’S are required to register with the U.S. government’s Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) before they can offer themselves to the public as money managers. U.S. government’s Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) before they can offer themselves to the public as money managers.  CTA’S are also required to go through an FBI deep background check, and provide rigorous disclosure documents (and independent audits of financial statements every year), which are reviewed by the National Futures Association (NFA), a self-regulatory watchdog organization.  CTA’S generally manage their clients’ assets using proprietary trading system, or a discretionary method, that may involve going long or short in futures contracts in areas such as metals (gold, silver), grains (soybeans, corn, wheat), equity indexes (S&P futures, Dow futures, Nasdaq 100 futures), soft commodities (cotton, cocoa, coffee, sugar) as well as foreign currency and U.S. government bond futures.  In the past several years, money invested in managed futures has more than doubled and is estimated to continue to grow in the coming years, especially if hedge fund returns start flattening at a more alarming rate than they are currently and stocks continue to under perform.

 

Why a managed Account??  You may have no chance of having any sort of stability without a money managed account.  Many view money managed accounts as an afterthought that gets too little attention.  Thoughtful analysis needs to be done to trade your own account.  Some traders are unable to sufficiently learn or trade daily due to a conflicting full time job or other obligation.  Many investors like to supplement their existing portfolio without having to learn a completely new market.  A managed account is an established account funded by the investor, and traded by a CTA professional.  

How many dollars can I afford to risk in a trade??  Does that fit me both psychologically and financially??  If you can’t answer those questions then a managed account may be just the right answer to your future. 

In summary, a managed account is two fold.  First, it is traded by an experienced professional trader, allowing the professional the opportunity to grow the investor’s account in up or down markets.  Secondly, the managed account can be an excellent way to provide a steady rate of growth over a longer period of time without the hassles and emotional swings of trading on your own.
Two people with $20,000 trading accounts will answer these and other questions differently because every trader has their own unique situation.

 

We are well aware that not everyone interested in Managed Accounts has, nor ever needs to trade for a living.  For that matter, we at Retire Platinum know that it is an extremely smart way to look at balancing one’s own portfolio.  As an experienced trader, you think you know exactly how Managed Accounts work. You trust your Money with a person who trades for a living and you HOPE he or she does better than you.  However, the difference between your trading style and ours, IS, your looking at a Money Manager as a person.  Retire Platinum looks at a Money Manager as an Insurance policy.  An insurance policy is an investment towards the future for financial stability.  And therefore, by combining that policy and your current portfolio, your day trading efforts or other means of your daily or longer term income strategy, you have increased the probabilities of the financial freedom we are all striving to achieve.
