Frequently Asked Questions
| Q: | What information is in the nightly email? |
| A: |
Each night, the Liquid-Cash email contains both updates that need to be made to open trades, as well as any new trades that should be entered.
|
| Q: | I have gone through the steps of signing up, but I am not receiving my nightly email. |
| A: |
Most members who have a problem receiving their nightly email fall into 2 catagories: (1) their mailbox is over the size limit and cannot accept any other emails; (2) their email filter is either blocking Liquid-Cash messages or sending them to a "Bulk" folder. Make sure that there is sufficient space in your mailbox, and verify that your filter is set up to accept any messages from @liquid-cash.com. If after taking these measures you are still not receiving our email, please email us at info@liquid-cash.com with your phone number.
|
| Q: | Is an email sent every night, even if there are no changes in the portfolio? |
| A: |
Yes.
|
| Q: | Do I need to do additional research after reading the nightly email? |
| A: |
No, the emails contain exact instructions on what trades to place the following day.
|
| Q: | What if I don’t understand instructions on how to enter a trade? |
| A: |
On your broker's website, the “Help” feature will give you an overview of the different types of trade types. You may also choose to set up an auto-trading account with one of our partner discount brokers.
|
| Q: | Should I buy into the current portfolio when I join, or should I wait for new trades? |
| A: |
If you are a new member, you can either immediately open positions to match our current portfolio, or wait for new positions to be opened. The Liquid-Cash system will most likely not generate trades on a daily basis, as the system works by entering high profit potential trades, and then giving those trades time to develop.
|
| Q: | Will I need to enter trades during market hours? |
| A: |
No.
|
| Q: | If the Liquid-Cash email says a trade is closed but I was not stopped out, what should I do? |
| A: |
If the nightly email says that a trade has been closed based on market action for a specific day, but you have not been stopped out, you should close that postion in order to open the newly offered trade. If you choose to hold that trade after the Liquid-Cash system has considered it closed, your performance will no longer match that of Liquid-Cash.
|
| Q: | How can I participate even if I have a small trading account? |
| A: |
Trading accounts can be opened with as little as $2,000. Members with smaller accounts should try to use a broker that charges commission on a per share basis, with no minimum commission per trade, such as Interactive Brokers.
|
| Q: | What is auto-trading? |
| A: |
This is a program offered by Investrade, optionsXpress, Robbins Securities, Questrade, and Think or Swim in partnership with Liquid-Cash, that allows our members to trade Liquid-Cash recommendations without actually having to enter any trades manually. Members of Liquid-Cash can sign up for auto-trading with one of these brokers, and that broker will accept trade orders based on the recommendations Liquid-Cash and at your equity commitment level.
|
| Q: | Will I receive nightly emails even if I am an auto-trader? |
| A: |
Yes. Even if you are not manually entering your trades, you can still follow along with the stocks that are selected.
|
| Q: | Can all stocks be sold short? |
| A: |
No. Liquid-Cash only recommends stocks that are considered shortable. However, it is possible that your broker might not have any shares of a specific shortable stock available for short sale. Some brokers have a list of "shortable stocks" while other brokers address this issue on a day to day basis because for them it is not constant. Please contact your broker for further information.
|
| Q: | Why is my fill price outside the day's trading range of the stock? |
| A: |
At times, orders might be executed during Extended Hours Trading (outside the normal 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time market hours). Please work with your broker to see how to designate that your order should only be executed during normal market hours.
|
| Q: | How do you choose the recommended stocks? |
| A: |
The Liquid-Cash stock selector scans through a database of thousands of stocks each evening to generate the trades for the following day. The selector is totally mechanical to keep emotion out of trading.
|
| Q: | What is the maximum number of open positions? |
| A: |
Our goal is to always hold a portfolio of 7 stocks. At times, the Liquid-Cash stock selector may not generate a trade to replace a recently closed trade. The result would be that our portfolio might have 6 or less stocks at certain times. When this occurs, we will continue to run the Liquid-Cash stock selector each night in an effort to round out our portfolio with a total of 7 stocks.
|
| Q: | What percent of my account should I dedicate to each trade? |
| A: |
The Liquid-Cash portfolio contains seven stocks, and it is recommended that you dedicate 1/7th of your account to each trade.
|
| Q: | Will the number of Liquid-Cash traders affect the stock price? |
| A: |
We only recommend stocks that have an average daily volume of over 750,000 shares, so even having up to 500 members of Liquid-Cash should not affect the stock price.
|
| Q: | Does Liquid-Cash offer option trades? |
| A: |
Currently, Liquid-Cash does not offer specific option trades. However, most of the recommended stocks are optionable, so members can use this information as they see fit.
