Sunset Capital Management was formed in 1999 by Alan Williams as a financial institute specializing in short- to medium- term trading of NYSE and NASDAQ securities. Their Ann Arbor, MI trading facility uses state-of-the-art computer equipment to facilitate on-line trading, and Sunset Capital traders have been trained at the finest financial trading trading institutes in the United States.

Alan Williams has a BSME degree from Valparaiso University, and holds a Master of Management from GMI. In 1998, Alan Williams discovered trading techniques based on Japanese candlestick patterns, and slowly began to phase these methods into his trading style. Presently, all traders at Sunset Capital use Japanese candlestick patterns as a primary tool for identifying high-potential trading opportunities in the market.

In early 2000, Alan Williams expanded his business by opening Candlestick Shop (CandlestickShop.com), an internet-based stock recommendation service specializing in the use of Japanese candlestick patterns. CandlestickShop.com is designed to service short-term traders at all levels. The novice trader is invited to follow the Play of the Day, a free service which identifies the elements of a good trade setup, and the Recent Profitable Plays, which explains in retrospect possible ways that previous daily recommendations could have been played for profit. The more experienced trader is invited to follow Today's Candlesticks for a daily list of high-potential candlestick pattern setups playable under favorable market environments.

There are quite a variety of investment newsletter services available to investors today, which achieve a decent track record. In reality, however, many newsletters have not translated well for most investors that subscribe to them. The reason? Money management. Without the proper position sizing using the right money management tool, you are only dealing with half the formula for success.

Let's face it: if there was one consistently successful investment newsletter, then the word would spread rapidly, and that one investment newsletter would have more customers than the population of China. The reality is that there has never been such a success. Why? Because in the final analysis, 8 out of 10 investors fail due to one simple reason: position sizing.

The majority of investors who subscribe to investment newsletters think that the process is as simple as "Just give me your recommendations and let me become as successful as you are". Unfortunately, as money managers know, entry points account for very little in the overall success of a portfolio. Find out why!
