Welcome to TheRealTimeTrader.Com.  My name is Russell Mascieri and I am a real time trader. Hopefully, this site will give you some good insights on the stock market, and how to devise a model or trading platform of your own, based on your risk tolerance and profit expectations. If you chose to become a paid subscriber you can get my system’s trading signals, which I actually trade, gaining 137% last year (REAL MONEY!) in my most conservatively traded account.

There is no end to the hype and BS out there. If you want to make money, you have to learn to wade through all the hucksters to get to the real realities of the market. You have arrived!

You have seen it over and over.  Outrageous profit claims, systems that make millions – it never ends and never will, as there are, and always will be, gullible fish ready to take the bait. Been a fish yourself? Probably. Don’t be embarrassed if you have – I have too. I bought a lot of junk, as well as lost a lot of money when I first got interested in the markets many years ago. It’s all too often part of the learning curve. But I survived it all to become a smart and successful trader, as you will see. You can too! And hopefully I can help you shorten the learning process. The reality is that there are a lot of promoters with a golden pen, but there are VERY few good traders who consistently make money. I’m not talking about “audited” hypothetical records or systems fitted to back data. A real trader makes real trades, makes real money and has real brokerage statements to prove it. That is what you will see here. And I am going to explain how I do it. This education is free and (I think) is priceless. But you will have to work on it. There is no free ride or easy path to riches, as many would have you believe.

If you think I, or anyone for that matter, knows how to make money every day, every week or every month, you are wrong.  A good trader’s account looks like a good upward trending stock – a rising saw tooth pattern.  That is exactly how my most conservatively traded account (an IRA) looks, while making a return of 137% in 2003. Click on Real Time Track Record  and you will see a monthly table of my IRA account, with the actual monthly brokerage account statements posted here. Actual gain 137% for 2003. Real Money. Real Time. Net of all commissions.

TheRealTimeTrader System 

First let me say I am a trader, not an investor. I have no idea if the companies I buy today will grow and increase greatly in price over time.  A successful stock trade for me usually lasts 1-6 weeks, although I have held stocks longer. I am NOT a day trader. I do not buy options or other leveraged vehicles. To take a position in a stock, I look for what I perceive to be a low risk entry point, i.e., low risk in terms of dollar loss if I am wrong. I have to believe a stock trade offers at least a 3/1 profit to loss ratio and that the stock can advance at least 50% in 6 weeks time. Thus, I rarely buy stocks like IBM, Microsoft, General Motors etc. I prefer lower priced stocks, mostly in the $2-$20 range that tend to move fast and in large percentage moves.

My system involves various proprietary screening techniques that produces a large list of stocks that make my “watch list.” What I primarily look for is a stock that has had a strong run, then settles back and consolidates. This process can take weeks to months. This ideal pattern may never develop for some of the stocks I watch. I review this list of stocks weekly, and after various screens are applied, a much smaller list is then generated, which I believe has the potential to generate a system buy (or sell) signal that week, based on price and volume action. Buy/sell signals that are generated from that list are posted here for regular paid subscribers. To give you a visual example, click on the following charts and you will see the set-up, the buy and the subsequent breakout and sale. I actually purchased LU at $2.94 on 1/2/04 and sold it at $4.75 on 1/16/04 and XING at $9.01 on 1/2/04 and sold it at $14.80 on 1/21/04. Click on the TheRealTimeTrader System for an expanded explanation. 

Not only do I give buy/sell signals in advance of the market opening each day, I actually trade these stocks, to what degree and  in what accounts will all depend on account size, available funds and aggressiveness of the account.   No BS, no hype, no bunk. Real money. Real time. I post my monthly statements in my most conservatively traded account for the world to see.  I tell you exactly what I am doing in the markets. It’s a different approach. I do not handle or invest your money. I do not make decisions or trade for you.

It is important to realize that the system I use generates many trading signals, from just as few stocks to as many as 40+, depending on general market conditions. All signals that get elected in the marketplace at the "buy" price will comprise the System Composite Portfolio. Many buy signals cannot be taken in my real time accounts because often I am fully invested and, therefore, there is not enough money in my accounts to buy all the stock signals from the system. If you choose to use the system’s buy signals, you also will find yourself in the same position. Thus your account will not necessarily exactly mirror my performance or the total performance of the System Composite Portfolio. This will, at times, will be to your advantage or disadvantage, depending on what stocks you decide to buy and how many shares. I too outperform or under perform the System Model Portfolio.

You can increase the speed at which you make money (or lose it) by increasing leverage and/or exposure to the markets. Understanding Risk/Reward and Building a Trading Model are fully covered on the site’s free educational content. I actually trade various numbers of accounts at various brokers that have various objectives. One account that I trade, partially for my livelihood, is a fully leveraged margin account. It's quite profitable, up an annualized 232% last year. However, there are large swings. In that account, I buy long and also sell short. I DO NOT recommend you trade the model that you develop as a margin account or sell short until you are an accomplished trader.

The system is VERY specific, giving EXACT entry and stop loss prices. As a paid subscriber you will learn not only how to enter but also how to exit trades with various order options, which I will explain to you. This comes as part of all the paid subscriptions. For example if the system says to buy XYZ at 6.53 stop, you will not see that unless you are a paid subscriber. However if I buy XYZ at 6.53, you will see that stock and the price added to our tracking System Portfolio Composite the next day. Some traders might want to piggy back the next day and buy XYZ, but if I bought it at 6.53 and its trading, for example, at 6.74 the next day, your cost will be higher. And you will have to determine your own risk in the trade because only paid subscribers know my stop loss point on the trade and my exit point. THUS, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU PIGGY BACK ON TOP OF MY TRADES THE DAY AFTER.

So spend some time and take a tour of the site. There is a lot of very good information here that you will not read anywhere else. REAL LIFE stuff! I look forward to adding you to our list of Paid Subscribers.
