A Personal Message From Steve
Primo
Dear Trader:
My name is Steve
Primo and I am the Director of Education for
TradingMarkets and
a former 9-year Specialist on the Pacific
Stock Exchange.
I'm happy to
announce a new
trading methodology which in simulated
trading has achieved
the highest gain per trade of any
strategy we have published
to date.
How many
countless numbers of
times have you witnessed the following
setup?
A stock drops
(often on bad
news). As the public sells, the
professionals and specialists step in and
buy large blocks of
shares.
Then, the
stock makes a
surprising reversal to the upside and
the public then tries
to re-enter the stock.
The stock
explodes and the
professionals and specialists
exit.
Have you ever
wished that you had
the knowledge to enter the stock along with
the professionals
and specialists?
During my
nearly three decades in this business, I had
never seen nor heard
of any trading methodology that
systematically buys these
short-term over-reactions and then rides the
strong, rapid up-move that
often ensues.
Today, I believe that such a methodology
exists. It
is called Raptor II.
With
average gains per
winning trade of 15.27% and annual
simulated portfolio gains that have averaged
94.12% over the past 11+
years, Raptor II is the
only model-driven methodology
in the world that I am aware of that
buys into strong,
sometimes explosive reversals that
immediately follow extreme
drops in individual stocks.
Then, after
entering the
position, you exit at a specific, defined
level. And Raptor II does this over and over
again...identifying stocks, quickly getting
you in and then
quickly getting you out...about 8 to 10
times a month.
Here are are
some examples of
recent Raptor II trades.
Gains of this size don't occur every day,
But I nave not seen any systematic method
that
approaches Raptor II's average
winning gains per trade of 15.27% since 1995.
 |
- REDF
triggers a Raptor II buy signal at
15.75.
- 5 days
later, you exit the
Raptor II signal with a gain of
20.19%
|
Here's another recent signal in Rambus
(RMBS).
 |
-
Raptor II triggers
a buy signal in Rambus (RMBS) at 26.90
after the stock has
dropped over 20% in the past week..
- RMBS
reverses and Raptor II exits the stock at 29.69 with
a gain of 10.37% in only
four days.
|
And here's a great
move in Panacos Pharmaceuticals
(PANC)
 |
Here's a
great example of how
Raptor II was able to identify a
large move ahead of time.
-
Raptor II triggers a buy
signal in PANC entering
at 5.93. The next
day after Raptor II enters the
trade, the company
announces a merger.
- 3 days
later, the stock
explodes and Raptor II exits
with a 102% gain.
|
Since 1995 Raptor II has had
double-digit gains in 52% of its trades.
Overall, we don't think you'll find a
trading methodology that gives the kinds of potential
opportunities that Raptor II has
given.

What is
the Raptor II
Method?
Raptor
II was created by Connors
Research Group, led by Director of Research
Cesar Alvarez. Cesar
has quantified the
characteristics that are common to stocks
that drop rapidly and
then snap back to the upside. I'll
tell you more about Cesar's
background below, but here's the main point
(which is backed by
over 11 years of statistics and test
results).
| Raptor II's rules enable you to
find the stocks for tomorrow's trading that
have the very same
characteristics of many thousands of stocks
that overreacted to
news and then fell too far and too
fast...resulting in an
explosive reversal. |
Raptor
II allows you to
unemotionally and systematically buy moves
in individual stocks that
do the following:
- A stock
drops, often on
negative news.
-
Raptor II, along with the
professionals and specialists, step in and
buy.
- The stock
reverses higher.
- The
reversal fuels more
buying from the public.
- The stocks
explodes higher.
- Raptor
II exits, taking
advantage of the strong
snap-back.
Up until now, there
has
been no systematic, quantified way to
predict when a stock in rapid free-fall
will turn back to the upside.
For the first time,
Raptor II solves
this problem and enables you to enter the
phase of the move that
exhibits the fastest, strongest action. It
tells you clearly
when to buy and it tells you when to exit.
That's
good news if you are a swing trader, especially if
you
have been frustrated trading pullbacks that
seem to always
whipsaw you out of trades. Now you can enter
well ahead of
the pullback trading public.
That's
good news if you are a
portfolio-driven investor who has woken
up too many times to
find that overnight news is sending your
stocks lower. Now,
you'll know when these short-term
over-reactions become buying opportunities.
That's
good news if you trade
low-priced stocks and are looking to
trade some of the the
largest percentage movers in the
market.
And this
is good news if you are an options trader
who has
seen far too many options expire worthless.
Raptor II is
designed to find stocks that exhibit the
fast moves that many
long call buyers are searching for.
How
Does Raptor II Work And What Are The
Results?
Raptor II
waits for stocks to
drop substantially and then buys once the
sellers have been
washed out and the professionals move
in.
This type of
market action has
existed for many decades, but until
Raptor II, no one to our
knowledge has developed a method to trade
these fear-driven moves in
a systematic way. Raptor II
uses a well-defined set-up to identify when
to buy. And it uses an
well-defined set-up telling you when to
sell. While there have been
different systems that have traded oversold
conditions, we do
not believe that any of them have had test
trade results that
Raptor II has.
And, Best Of All,
Raptor II Can Be Traded In These
Three Ways
We have not
seen any other trading
methodology that is as flexible as Raptor
II.
In
addition to
trading stocks individually, you can also
apply it in a
structured portfolio, or to apply it to
trading options.
|
1 |
Trade Raptor II As A Swing
Trading System |
If you
are an experienced
short-term trader, you can have the
freedom and
flexibility to trade individual stocks
using Raptor II as
your primary trading system. On many
days you'll have
multiple signals to buy and exit
trades in individual
equities. You can participate in as
many or few of these
trades you wish and size your
positions any way you like.
|
2 |
Trade Raptor II Using A
Portfolio Methodology |
You can
also have more
control over your risk with a balanced
portfolio
methodology for Raptor II
(which I will teach you). Let's
look again at the monthly simulated
returns. All returns
assume commissions of 1 cent per
trade, 3 month T-bill
rates on cash positions, and do not
include dividends
received along the way.
Here are the
simulated returns for Raptor II since
1995.
As you can see
nearly
88% of the months have
been profitable during this time frame.
Based on simulated trading until
3/31/2006. Past performance is not a
guarantee of future results.
Let's now look
at the equity curve for Raptor II
portfolio.
In simulated
trading $100,000 grew to over $249 million.

Trade Raptor II With
Options |
Options
trading is not for
everybody and you should be aware of
their inherent risks.
But if you are an experienced options
trader, then Raptor II may be one of the most useful
trading methodologies you
will see.
Raptor II is the first
short-term trading method that we have
published which
identifies stocks that have the quick
upward bounces that
options traders are looking for.
Here's why...
Within
Raptor II's database
are a substantial number of optionable
stocks. When Raptor II triggers buy signals in these
optionable stocks, they
often move strongly higher. While all
options traders have
to deal with time decay, we believe
that this is less of
an issue with stocks that Raptor
II identifies. Many
times, these stocks begin to move
within a day or two
after their buy signals. From there
they move rapidly
higher. While this does not always
occur and losing trades
will happen, we believe that Raptor
II can be a great
vehicle for options
traders.
I will
teach you in the
Raptor II Guidebook, and in my
online class,
options strategies that involve buying
call options that
you can apply to the Raptor II
signals. |

Questions &
Answers About Raptor II
Who is Raptor II designed
for?
Raptor
II is for individual
traders (sorry, no hedge funds) who are
looking for a simple and
easy to way to systematically trade powerful
short-term moves in
the market. It's for individuals who want to
quickly create a
list of trades each night and place their
orders for the next
day in less than 10 minutes...using a method
that has over 11
years worth of test results behind
it.
Who
created Raptor
II?
The
main researcher
behind Raptor II is Cesar Alvarez,
Director of
Research for Connors Research Group.
Cesar was a senior
designer of Excel in the 1990's
helping Microsoft create
Excel. For the past 6 years Cesar
has been a
professional investor, researcher,
and has been in the
forefront of stock market research,
having developed a
number of successful trading systems
now used by
numerous investors and fund managers
in the United
States and
internationally.
Will all of
the rules of Raptor II be fully
disclosed to me?
Yes. All of
the rules will be
clearly explained to you on the day of your
internet class with me. Absolutely nothing will be held
back. I
will explain what Raptor II is,
how it works, why it works,
and then walk you through multiple
examples.
To make
applying these rules
simpler, we will also provide you with
Tradestation and and
Amibroker software code that will allow you
to automatically
scan thousands of stocks each
night.
And to ensure
your complete
understanding, you will receive The
Raptor II Guidebook which
provides you with all the rules, concepts
and examples in a
detailed and easy-to-understand printed
format. Use this as your
quick reference guide every day as you trade
the method.
Will I
be able to use Raptor II for
trading options?
Yes.
Please be aware,
however, that options trading is a
highly risky form of
trading. We can make no guarantees
about performance.
That said, we are pleased to
announce that Raptor II has
identified stocks that exhibit the
rapid and immediate
moves that options buyers look for
in underlying
optionable stocks. If you are
looking to buy options,
Raptor II can help you find
stocks that move
substantially in very short period
of time. During your Internet
Raptor II class, I will show
teach you options
strategies that you can consider
applying to your own
trading.
Can I
use Raptor II to trade stocks
individually, or does it
use a portfolio
structure?
You
can use it both ways
if you like. For maximum
flexibility, you can use
Raptor II as your main swing
trading system and focus on
entering and exiting individual
positions. If you prefer
an approach with structured risk
control, use the
portfolio version of the system. In
this case, position
sizing and the number of positions
held is dictated by
the methodology. In my class
(details below), I'll teach you both
approaches.
Can
Raptor II trade low-priced
stocks?
Yes.
In a substantial
number of the stocks that are
contained in Raptor II's
universe of high-liquidity stocks
are stocks trading
under $10. This is where you'll find
some of the biggest
percentage movers in the
market.
Do I
need to be in front of a screen all
day?
No!
In just under 10
minutes each night (or before the
open) you will be able
to perform your complete scan and
place your buy or exit
orders for the next day. Then, let
your broker do the
rest as you go about your day's
activities.
How do I
receive the daily
set-ups?
We
will provide you with
Tradestation and Amibroker code
which contain the
complete rules of Raptor II.
Each evening your software
will scan through thousands of stock
in search of the
ones that are able to meet its
strict criteria.
Also,
we will
provide you with one year of full
online access to the
Raptor II signals that we
generate in-house.
How do I
place my orders?
You
will place your
orders for the upcoming day before
the open. Most orders
will be limit orders and you can
find out anytime during
the day or after the close whether
or not your orders
were filled.
What
will my day look
like?
Each evening
after the close, you will identify the
Raptor II
portfolio signals for the upcoming-day.
You can either scan
for them yourself or you can get them
from a privately
protected password web site which you
will have free access
to.
You will then place your buy orders and
your sell orders for
the upcoming days open. Once you're in
your positions, you
can monitor them during the day if you
so wish. After the
close, you will again run your scans
using the software code
we provide to you or come to the private
website to determine which stocks you
will be exiting and
which stocks you will be buying on the
upcoming days open.
It really is that simple.
How easy
is Raptor II to
learn?
We
believe that you will
find Raptor II to be
very easy to learn.
There only 8 rules and they can be
learned in under 30
minutes. You will most likely be up
and trading by the
next trading day.
Is
Raptor II
similar to the
previous version of Raptor
which reached its ?
The
answer is no. These
two methods are different and their
focus is
on different stocks using a
different set of rules and
different time frames. And as
good as the first Raptor was
and still is...we
believe that Raptor II is
even better. And we have not seen any other
quantified trading methodology that
can show comparable
results on an individual trade by
trade basis.
How long
will it take me each evening to set-up
my day?
We'll
officially say 10
minutes. But in reality, it should
take you under 5
minutes to get your stocks and place
your trades with
your broker.
Why have
the set-ups using Raptor II
shown so much success?
There
are several reasons
for this, but the main one that
Cesar Alvarez and the
Connors Research team were able to
quantify
characteristics that are common to
stocks that drop
rapidly and then snap back to the
upside.
To
find these stocks on a
daily basis, Raptor II
applies 7 filters using
trend, volatility, maximum excursion
(what we also call
"stretch"), liquidity and other key
characteristics.
While each one of these filter
provides a potential
edge, we believe the statistical
edge increases
exponentially when all 7
are present in a stock.
You
will then place your buy order
for next day's trading. These buy
orders use a
proprietary entry level which brings
the potential edge
to the optimum level. Raptor
II then enters the stocks whose buy orders are
triggered.
Altogether, there are
a small handful of simple rules for
you to follow each evening. With
average gains over 9% per trade and
15% for the winning
trades (the highest gains per
trade that we have ever published),
the results speak for themselves.
If I need
additional help will you provide me
with ongoing
assistance?
Yes.
I, as the
head of Education for
TradingMarkets, am here to answer
any questions you may have. Also,
our Raptor II
Consultants are here daily
(Monday-Friday) from 9:30
am-8:30 pm (ET) to help you in any

What will you
learn...
My Guidebook and
teaching session are designed to give you
the same personalized
learning experience that you would have if
we were together in
person. You'll see charts, tables, and all
of rules and
explanations clearly laid out. And I will
walk you through
numerous trades from beginning to end,
exploring every possible
"what-if" scenario. During
the four hours, I will teach you:
-
All the rules of the
method. You will
learn how to properly
execute Raptor II's eight
proprietary rules. I believe you
will find that these rules are simple to
learn and easy to
learn. And to ensure that you apply them
correctly, I will
take you through many dozens of examples
that have occurred in
the recent market. The rules I teach you
will enable you to
trade a method that has:
 |
 |
Has averaged since 1995 over
7.43% Gains
Per Trade
(over 15% per winning trade),
the highest
gains per trade of any system
that we have ever
published. |
 |
Has
had an average
compounded
annual return of 94.12% for
over 11
years (from 1/3/1995 through
04/1/2006). |
 |
Has been
profitable for
nearly 88% of all months
during this time
period. |
 |
Has had
double-digit gains in 52% of it's trades,
the highest of any system we
have previously
published. |
 |
The first and
only
systematic
vehicle for trading long call
options that we have
ever released (just buying
calls...no
complicated
spreads). |
 |
-
All the logic that is behind the rules.
As we get into the
guts of the rules, I will teach you how
and why it works. Most
importantly, you will see how Raptor
II allows you to enter steep
drops at the same time that specialists
and professional
traders are buying. You will see, as I now
do that price
movements that were formerly scary
situations actually
become well-structured opportunities.
It's all the in
numbers that'll I'll show you.
-
How to select your stocks
each evening. I will teach you
and then drill you through a simple series
of steps that you
will follow on a nightly basis. This
should take you 10
minutes or less each evening.
-
How to construct a
Raptor II portfolio.
I will not only teach you how to swing
trade individual stocks
Raptor II's signals, I will show
show you how to apply it
using a portfolio structure. You'll learn
how to size your
trades, build the number of your positions
to an optimum level
and how to limit your total risk exposure
at all times. These
professional guidelines are designed to
help you maximize
and maintain smooth equity growth
while keeping risk under
control.
-
How to enter and exit
trades. All your initial trades
can
be placed on the open. You will then wait
for a sell signal to
exit the position (also on the open). I
will also teach you
techniques to scale out of positions
intra-day if you wish
to be more aggressive. Many times,
Raptor II has
large gains and you have the option of
taking profits instead
of waiting until the next day (this will
be a personal choice
of yours and I will teach this to
you).
- How to
trade options with
Raptor II. Because of the high
gains per trade (over 15%
per trade) that Raptor II has had
over the past 11+ years in
simulated trading, Raptor II is a
great vehicle for options
traders. I will show you the best ways to
enter, exit and
control your risk.
-
Raptor II software code.
We will provide you with Tradestation and
Amibroker code which
contain the complete rules of Raptor
II. Each evening your
software will scan through thousands of
stock in search of the
ones that are able to meet its strict
criteria.
- Online
access to signals.
And as a back-up, we provide you with one
year of full online
access to the Raptor II signals
that we generate in-house.
- The
Raptor II Guidebook You will receive all the
rules, concepts and examples
in a detailed and easy-to-understand
printed format. Use this
as your quick reference guide every day as
you trade the
method.
And
to
ensure that you leave my online class with
the knowledge and
skills you need to properly apply Raptor
II. I am
available to answer the questions you send
us via e-mail (and
phone if necessary).

Don't put off registering. The first
Raptor was taken off
the market forever. In order to maintain the
potential edge,
this one will likely be taken off the market

threshold.
Important Notice: Except where otherwise
specifically stated,
all trades are based on hypothetical or
simulated trading.
Hypothetical or simulated performance
results have certain
inherent limitations. Unlike an actual
performance record,
simulated results do not represent actual
trading. Also, since
the trades have not actually been executed,
the results may have
under-or-over-compensated for the impact, if
any, of certain
market factors, such as lack of liquidity.
Simulated trading
programs in general are also subject to the
fact that they are
designed with the benefit of hindsight. No
representation is
being made that any account will or is
likely to achieve profits
or losses similar to those shown.
Commissions, fees, and
slippage have not been included. This is
neither a solicitation
to buy/sell securities or listed
options.
How
the results were obtained:
The simulated returns looked at a
universe of over 6000
stocks. The data was obtained from outside
sources which we
believe are reliable but we cannot assure
their complete
accuracy. The tests were run on an
open-to-open basis from
January 1, 1995-March 31, 2006. One cent
commissions were
charged and cash balances assumed 3 month
t-bill rates. Any
dividends received along the way were not
included in the test
results.

Please note that the results presented here are
hypothetical and not actual trades.
