What our customers are saying…
I urge you to take the class. I will never look at charts the same again. Rick is a superb craftsmen and teacher. I have made back the cost many times over both from trades taken, and just as important, trades that I stayed away from.
–Ed Duffy
I can say without equivocation that the course is highly worth taking. It totally changed my trading and turned me into a much better trader. Also, Rick is great about doing the weekly session for course grads to go into the nuances and depth of the system.
–Jack Glaser
I took the seminar last week and it paid for itself very quickly. I was very upside-down, but I cleaned it up and now I am on solid ground with my investments.

Rick loves going ‘counterintuitively’ against the herd, since that is where the best opportunities lie. He’ll show you exactly how, using ‘mechanical’ trade set-ups that exploit peak moments of fear and uncertainty.
You Could Soon Be Crushing It with
the ‘Mechanical Trade’ Secret!
- ** Put It to Use Instantly. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you’ll be able to trade whenever and as often as you please with as little as $2,000-$5,000 in your account.
- ** Trade Less, Enjoy Life More. No need to spend your days glued to a screen. Using ‘mechanical’ set-ups, your profitable work day can be over before most traders have had their second cup of coffee.
- ** Minimize Risk. It turns out that the best place to get into a trade is when other traders are scared half to death. This technique is designed to get you aboard when they are diving for cover. You will be astounded at how often ‘mechanical’ set-ups catch the exact low of a trampoline bounce.
- ** A Proven Strategy. Visit the Rick’s Picks chat room and see for yourself. Subscribers are using and sharing ‘mechanical’ set-ups all day long to make trading easier and more fun than they ever dreamed possible.
- ** Fully Automated. Yes’ ‘mechanical’ means you can put risk management on autopilot. Once you are in the trade, it will manage itself with simple rules so that you can avoid getting shaken out like everyone else.
- ** Amazingly Versatile. Trade any vehicle at any time of day or night. Scalp in and out of a $3,000 stock like Amazon with a small account and no fear of slippage.
- ** Start trading NOW! Learn the ‘mechanical’ secret and you can start using it immediately. Even better, ‘mechanical’ set-ups will allow you to get long or short in any stock or future at will, since opportunities always exist on the one-minute bar chart.
- ** Embrace Violent Swings. In love with bitcoin? Over the last two years, ‘mechanical’ set-ups have produced only a single losing trade in this ultra-volatile vehicle. Ask traders in my chat room if you are skeptical about this claim.
Fearful of the wild price swings that have become all too common in these deeply troubled times?
Let me show you how to leverage the stock market’s craziness for consistent profits and a more relaxed lifestyle.
** Avoid bumping heads with the rubes and village idiots who make markets so wacky
** Waltz into winning trades just as the last loser is being violently ejected
** Dramatically shorten your learning curve. This method will work quickly – and well
** Conquer your fear of pulling the trigger, since ‘mechanical’ entries will give you new confidence
** Trade options BETTER than most pros, even if you know nothing about options. I promise that this is true
Why Most Beginners Fail
They all start with a system. The trouble is, few beginners have the patience, discipline or diligence to stick with a system long enough to make it work. They invariably get seduced by another system that promises to make it easier. Trust me, learning to trade profitably will never be quite as easy as they might hope. But if you take the time to master a trading system, the payoff will be a comfortable lifestyle that working stiffs can only dream about.
Using a trading system, no matter which, is absolutely key for one reason: Whenever you trade, it will anchor your observations so that you can learn from your mistakes. That is the ‘magic’ trick that has enabled virtually every trader to become a great one. None of them was born with horse sense.
…And how you can avoid their biggest mistake
The good news is that anyone can develop winning trading instincts by using a systematic approach every time one trades.
Many of my students say the ‘mechanical’ set-up is the best trading system they have ever used, and they are often amazed at how easy…” It will allow you to make money as you learn, and to understand the underlying rhythms of the market. It is most surely good enough to allow you to make money as you learn, and to sharpen your observations so that you begin to understand the very rhythms of the market. It is the quickest path to grasping the psychology that animates markets. Reach that point and you will do what every trader does: increase your position size, and therefore your potential profits.
That is the beauty of trading: Anything that works in a small way can be scaled up to produce even bigger gains. When you are able to make $300 a day consistently by playing off ‘mechanical’ levels, you will discover that you can just as easily make $3,000, or even $30,000. This is not something to dream about. It is a real possibility that exists for you if you merely take the time to learn what I have to teach you.
I stand behind these words personally. My students will attest that I interact with them in ways that make learning not just easy, profitable and even fun. Smoothing the learning curve is the goal of Rick’s Picks and my two chat rooms. They draw great traders from around the world who speak a common language when referring to charts and trading tactics. Sign up for my course on ‘The ‘Mechanical Set-Up’ and you will possess the key to a better, more satisfying life.
Sincerely,

The trick is to accurately…
and consistently read price bars so that you see what others miss. Apply my simple rules, and with practice you will develop the kind of horse sense that only the most successful traders possess.
You’ll find out how to do this with zero previous experience, but first…

About the ‘Mechanical’ Trade Set-Up
It is the simplest, most profitable trick I’ve discovered in 40 years of trading. I wish I’d known how to use it when I worked as a market maker on the floor of the Pacific Stock Exchange in the 1980s. How it would have simplified my life!
But I saved you the work.The ‘mechanical’ set-up I will teach you has taken nearly five years to hone and perfect. Everything you need to know in order to master the technique is contained in the two-hour video lesson.
Here is a summary of the course, which is
divided into six segments:





Module #1: How to Set Up Your Trading Account
Step-by-step, I’ll show you how to set up a trading account that suits your budget and your appetite for risk. There are several ways to go, but this is the best, based on long experience and feedback from my subscribers.
Module #2: Turbocharging the ‘Mechanical’ Set-Up by Using ‘Reverse’ ABC Patterns
This is a trick that everyone in the Rick’s Picks trading room has been dying to learn. It inverts our usual trade set-up to produce an obscure one that is all but unused by others. Obscurity is arguably the most valuable edge a trader can possess.
Module #3 The ‘Mechanical’ Trade: Art and Science
A detailed breakdown of ‘mechanical’ set-ups, along with two simple rules that obtain in all of them. There is a little bit of artfulness involved, too, as you are about to discover.
Module #4: Risk Management
Wait till you see how easy this is using the three ‘mechanical levels’. Your trades will actually manage themselves, using an autopilot strategy capable of outperforming even the most experience traders.
Module #5: Planning Your Trading Day
This is optional, since, as I noted earlier, you can find easily find day-trades that will make you a quick $200-$500 simply by jumping on any chart at random. But it can create more spare time for you if you arrange the day so that most of the trading happens in just an hour or two.
Module #6: A Simple Way to Develop Horse Sense
This little add-on is worth the price of the course. I mentioned earlier that the most successful traders are able to learn from their mistakes. This is an easy and systematic way to do it that requires no memory tricks or notes. It will also help you lock in winning patterns in the back of your brain.
What our customers are saying…
Your rules based system has really put it together for me.

Your Hidden Pivot method is the best I have found so far, after spending so much $$$ on systems and courses. I wish you had been my first “encounter” – it would have saved me a lot of frustration.

…Putting it all together
You’ll receive instructions for using ‘impulse legs’ and ‘midpoint pivots’. The latter were once a well-kept secret so profitable that they were the centerpiece of a $2,500 course I offered. Equipped with these amazing tools, you will now have:
** A few simple rules for finding and leveraging the most opportune trades
** A way to manage risk expertly from entry to exit without having to work at it
** Laser-precise price targets to drastically reduce entry risk and enable perfect exits
** A swing-for-the-fences strategy designed to let profits run

** A system that you can start using immediately to make consistent profits

How Much for All of This?
In the past, I’ve sold courses containing the material described above for as much as $2,500. This video lesson offers the most detailed explanation to date of the ‘mechanical’-trade secret. It contains everything you need to know in order to recoup your investment quickly.
My marketing director priced it at $997. But in order to make this latest version of the course available to as many of you as possible, I’ve knocked another $500 off the price, making it just $497. Register today to take advantage of this exceptional offer. I promise you’ll look back on your decision to enroll as one of the best investments you’ve ever made.
Myth #1: Trading is a full-time job
The Truth:
An Hour a Day Will Suffice. Trading doesn’t have to take up all your time. During the hour-long tutorial sessions that come with this course, I’ve done actual trades that have generated profits of $300-$500 in just minutes. If that’s all you need to live well, then plan on trading for just an hour or two a day. No preparations are necessary if you are just scalping.
Automate! What if you could set up trades before the opening bell and be out with a profit before most traders have had their second cup of coffee? I’ll teach you how to automation entries and exits so that you can literally snooze while you earn. I don’t recommend this, but one of my trading partners is so good at it that I’ve learned to appreciate his easy finesse.
Myth #2: Trying to Time the Swings Is Risky
True enough. Most market timing methods that attempt to predict the swings perform poorly. The batting average of these methods gets even worse in a roller-coaster market. But there’s a reason I’ve been a successful trader for decades, and why thousands of students of my methods have, too.
The Truth:
You Can Limit Risk. There are many ways to do this, and the proprietary ways I will show you are powerful and effective. The sweet spot for all trades turns out to be where most traders feel queasiest. You can exploit this with ‘mechanical’ levels that will allow you to sit with bland detachment outside of their fear zone.
Precision. Hidden Pivot Analysis is best known for its stunningly precise trend and target calls. This can be very helpful for drastically reducing entry. With just a few hours of practice, you will be better at it this trick than many who do it for a living.
Synergy. Combining ‘mechanical’ levels with ‘camouflage’ and ‘reverse-pattern’ triggers that are possible with the Hidden Pivot Method will put you into trades that even the best thinking machines evidently do not see. The result are trades that instantly take wing because there are relative few profit-takers to weigh them down.
Myth #3: Trading Is Too Complicated
Some trading methods are indeed heavy on math, charts, and other mind-boggling encumbrances. I’ve seen traders who use as many as a dozen screens, projecting a veritable light show of alerts, indicators, oscillators and other visual cues.
The Truth:
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify! I use very simple charts that contain no technical indicators or even volume bars; all I care about is price. And although I could easily get by with just a single monitor, I use two so that I can stay in touch with subscribers while I trade.
30 Days to Trading. Even if you’ve never made a single trade in your life, within just three to four weeks you’ll have the confidence to jump into opportune set-ups that will generate profits while limiting risk. Skeptical? Ask anyone in the Rick’s Picks chat room whether I’ve exaggerated.
Look, Ma, No Math. I was a college English major, for Pete’s sake, and no whiz with numbers. That’s why the method I’ve developed is mainly visual, with a few simple rules to help lock in winning trades. The rules are designed to make it very simple and to allow one to initiate trades without letting emotions get in the way.
&&&
Here’s my promise to you: Once you fully grasp the simple secret of the ‘MECHANICAL’ Trade Set-Up, you’re going to be stunned at how precisely you’ll be able to nail market highs, lows and key turning points. Master just a few simple rules and visual tricks and you’ll be able to get in and out of trades with the kind of precise timing that “experts” will tell you is impossible.
What our customers are saying…
I would highly recommend the course. If you are willing to put in the work to really learn the system you won’t regret it. I have traded professionally for the better part of 30 years, a large part of that on the trading floor and the $997 or whatever I spent on Ricks course is the best $997 I have ever spent.
–Scott Larson
Anyone looking to learn how to pinpoint prices inside these volatile markets needs to study and learn Rick’s system. Being in the markets for 24 years, I have never experienced such accuracy and support by anyone in this industry. What you receive from Rick and his trading room is exceptional to say the least!
–Tim Karis
Rick, I wanted to thank you again for the Hidden Pivot technique. I mainly trade stocks using my own HP patterns. I was made redundant a couple of weeks ago and have looked to build on my trading successes since doing the course in December. Trades over the last couple of weeks (which have received my full attention) have almost netted profits equal to my annual salary as was. Enhanced risk control is key.

Signing up for this course will be the most important step you have ever taken as a trader.
What our customers are saying…
Rick – Huge thanks to you for the HP system. I have now been trading actively for 1 yr and had my biggest day by far 6K+ in taken profits. Spent 40+ years as a real estate investor and must say that I did well. Trading and taking the profits (some losses) is much more relaxing than dealing with tenants.
–Tom Kerr
I have zero regrets about taking the course or the fee. I’ve been trading for over 20 years and have seen many systems. This is legit.
–Wade Matsumoto
Rick’s method is the best real time application of the general pattern that I have found in 25 years
