FAQs

Will I have to buy expensive software I don't need or won't use?

Due to the fact that writing Covered Calls usually only takes a few minutes a month to do, you don't even need a computer to generate returns with a 100% capital guarantee. If you want to be more serious and trade options, not just write covered calls, then a computer will make life infinitely easier.

Market Analyst has been chosen to specifically trade shares and options in the USA, and this software is included in the cost of the TradeAbility Pro package.

I've been to other seminars where there are hundreds of people attending. Whilst I enjoyed the seminar, I don't believe I really learnt anything because I didn't have personal attention. What sort of attention will I get at Platinum Pursuits?

Platinum Pursuits is unique in that Daniel focuses his attention on you learning rather than him presenting. He is totally committed to ensuring that everyone in the course not only understands the content of the course, but has the complete confidence to immediately start trading and making profits.

How much money does it take to trade options?

Due to the way options work, you will typically only require 10% of the money you would normally use for buying shares. So, if you have invested $50,000 in the stock market, then you would only invest $5,000 in the options market.

However, Daniel recommends that you trade with no more than $10,000 for the first 6 months of your trading, regardless of how wealthy you may be. So, all you will need is a minimum of $3,000 to a maximum of $10,000 capital to trade options.

The first year of trading you should focus on LEARNING, not EARNING. After a year of experience, you will know exactly how to trade successfully, and can then be the best judge of how much money you wish you place into the market.

I've heard that Options are risky ... I don't want to invest in anything that's risky. I've worked hard for my money, I don't want to lose it.

Options were actually created to reduce and even eliminate the risk of owning shares! In fact, if you have ever owned shares, you have taken more risk than the strategies Daniel teaches in his course.

Daniel will teach you how to capital guarantee your investments, how to lock-in your profits and risk no more than 10% of the money you would normally use to buy shares.

People who say options are risky usually don't understand them or have an alternative reason for not encouraging you to become active in them. Your greatest protection against risky investments is simply knowledge.

I don't have any experience in shares or options. Is this course too advanced for me?

Absolutely not! In fact, we find that those with no experience can do better than those with some experience. That's usually because it's easier to learn something if you aren't confusing it with other information.

We have trained everyone from housewives and doctors to teenagers and retirees. The TradeAbility Pro course is really quite simple and time is spent re-enforcing the content.

How do I know that Platinum Pursuits really has the expertise I’m looking for?

Platinum Pursuits education is the distillation of many years of trading knowledge. Our education programs are informed by the joint experiences of head trainer Daniel Kertcher (over 15 years experience in investing and trading); Managing Director Julie Cairns (Masters Degree in Finance and over 20 years of experience in market analysis including for Macquarie Bank and the Reserve Bank of Australia); and Traders Report Editor Brad McFadden (20 years experience in global trading strategies including Equities, FX and Commodities, including 10 years at a $1 billion proprietary trading fund).

How soon can I start trading?

 You can start trading as soon as you open a trading account with your preferred broker. At Platinum Pursuits, we use Spectrum Live (www.spectrumlive.com). We do however, caution all our graduates to have had some experience with a paper trading account prior to opening a live account. Spectrum Live offer this service, as do most other online brokers.

Do you have a payment plan to pay for the course?

 Platinum Pursuits doesn’t accept payment plans. When purchasing our courses, we do ask for a deposit and then allow 7 days for you to pay the balance, which is our cooling off period. If you change your mind within the 7 day cooling off period, we will refund your deposit less an administration fee.

Can I use my USB anywhere? 

The USB is part of the TradeAbility Pro package. The USB contains over 15 hours of High Definition television quality training material. We have designed the USB to be used on-demand from your PC or laptop.

To secure your content on the USB, we have installed a unique encryption program which will need to be unlocked prior to use. This program marries the USB to your laptop or PC.

The USB will not work on any other machine once the encryption program has been loaded. Should you wish to move the USB’s playability to another machine, please contact our office and speak to one of our Customer Support staff.
