James Maggio is an engineer and mathematician who became intrigued with the markets over 30 years ago. James Maggio was particularly excited by the work on market cycles described by J.M. Hurst in his book The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing. After studying Hurst's work, James Maggio noticed that Hurst never actually described the mathematics behind his system. Over a period of years, Maggio discovered how Hurst did it, and improved the mathematics to make TradeRiskManagement's Sigma Bands^TM Charting service work consistently over a range of markets.

TradeRiskManagement subscribers receive alerts twice a week. The Sigma Bands^TM Charting Service is updated daily in the Member's Only area of the TradeRiskManagement web site, in a graphical format for more than 300 stocks, commodities, indexes and financials. Four types of charts are used to determine when and how to handle trading decisions: curvilinear envelopes, Sigma Bands^TM (sometimes called channels), signal bands, and cyclical decomposition charts. Each chart is generated using a different methodology, and consequently will give different assessments of future price action. Subscribers look for when the charts are in agreement.

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!
