Tactical Trading Academy is an online education academy that teaches our students to trade forex and invest in stocks.

I built this site because I had spent thousands of hours of my life reading trading books that didn’t provide me with a single, profitable piece of trading information.

I built this site because people spend thousands of dollars on trading software and trading seminars and trading books and the only thing they get out of it is a larger loss. Lost $20,000 trading. Spent another $5,000 on worthless information. If you’re going to buy information, buy it from someone who knows what he’s talking about and can prove it. If I want to build a house, I’m talking to a carpenter. I’m not talking to a guy who makes hammers for a living.

Type “day trading system”, “day trading course”, “day trading book”, “day trading strategy”, “futures trading system” or any other variation thereof into Google or Yahoo and you will see hundreds of people trying to sell you technical analysis as an approach. $1,000 courses, $5,000 personal instruction, $300 a month “live strategy trading rooms”, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Worthless, worthless, worthless.

Type in “day trading course”. Browse the listings. You’ve got guys offering one-on-one training for $5,000 and they don’t have a single statement posted on their site. No hard evidence that they even have a trading account, let alone that they’ve made money. What’s their background? “I’ve been trading and investing for 15 years.” Really? Well if you’ve been trading for 15 years, I would think you could find at least one or two statements which show a profitable month. One month out of twelve? Something. Anything to let your potential customers know that you actually walk the walk.

“If money is your hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in the world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.” – Henry Ford

Lets start off with a simple explanation of how insurance works. In the good old days before those kind men got together in the Lloyds coffee shop, people were responsible for their own losses. If the horse pulled their cart into a ditch and this broke the wheel, the owner had to put his hands into his pock’ets (which fortunately had already been invented) and pay someone to repair the wheel. But once people could share the risks, life was suddenly better. If you gather together a big enough group of cart owners, each will only have to pay a small amount into the central fund to cover the losses of the few who have accidents. Those men at Lloyds were on to a winning business formula. Moving into modern times, the idea of spreading the risk is the same and, with thousands of people in each group, the cost of loss is divided into small premiums. But, with profits under pressure, the insurance companies came up with a new variation on the old theme. Suppose they could persuade their customers to accept the risk of some of their losses. This would then become self-insurance for part of the risk. The rest would be paid by the insurance companies. So the deductible was born. You agree to pay the first portion of any loss. In the case of traffic accidents, most of the fender benders are minor and don’t cost much to repair. That means you pay for most of the repairs yourself and the insurance companies get richer. Ironically, if no-one opted for the deductible, the increase in the premium for everyone in the group would be trivial.

So let’s get to an actual example to see how it works. If you agree to accept a deductible of $1,000, you will be given a discount on the premium. Say you save 10% over the year. Now that’s a good saving if you manage to get through the year without having an accident. But suppose your luck is not good and you have an accident. The bill for repairs is $900. You put your hand in your pocket (pockets are such useful things – always seeming to have money in them) and pull out the dollars. Was your 10% saving over the year more than $900? If not, you are making a loss, not just on the insurance policy but, if you had to use your credit card, on the interest added to the $900 until it is paid off. What would happen if your run of bad luck continued and you had a second accident in the year? Do you have another $1,000 as savings or available to borrow? Perhaps we should not be so pessimistic. Worst case scenarios are always better applied to other people and never to you.

The higher the deductible you accept, the more of the risk you are accepting. Cheap car insurance is a wonderful thing to have so long as your luck holds up. But if your luck fails, the maximum deductible is going to empty that magic pocket of yours. And here’s the thing – you can be the safest driver in the world, always super careful, always following all the rules, and then you meet a dork behind the wheel of another vehicle and suddenly you’re wrapped round a tree. So look for cheap auto insurance, but always look at your cash position and ask yourself how well you would cope if the worst happened. Deductibles are good for people with a margin of financial safety.
