About Chris Vermeulen

Who Am I & My Beliefs:

I’m the person behind the scenes, the one pulling the levers and pushing the buttons, generating those investment decisions that keep you ahead of the game. 

My trading journey began at 16, and now, over 40, I feel like I’m just getting started! 

Trading has been my life’s breath, manoeuvring through three bear markets and bracing for the fourth.

This journey has taught me the undeniable power of portfolio positioning and risk management. 

If you’re over 40 with a sizeable investment account, you should be handling these markets differently from the crowd.

My trading experience spans all styles, from scalping to day trading, swing trading to long-term investing, and across various assets like stocks, options, currencies, futures, and ETFs. 

Today, I focus on exchange-traded funds, providing trade signals to subscribers who mirror my portfolio moves.

My goals are crystal clear: achieve maximum growth while adhering to strict capital preservation rules. 

This approach ensures consistent above-average returns without the typical stock market rollercoaster. 

I believe in owning only assets that are rising in value, setting me apart from the buy-and-hold crowd who watch their assets plummet during market downturns. 

The strategy? 
Follow price charts, manage positions, and control risk.

If you share my belief that holding falling assets and watching your wealth shrink by 20%, 35%, 50% or more is a giant waste of time and a risk to your retirement, then we’re on the same page.
