Do The Stock
Bandit employees front-run the Bandit Broadcast picks?
If you still have questions, please
contact us for further assistance.
When I sign up for the Free Trial, when will I be charged?
First time users of the free trial
receive access to the Member Area for 1 full week to evaluate our
stock pick service before being charged. Free trial users will not
be billed until after the completion of the week, allowing them to cancel at any
time before then to avoid ever being billed. Staying on as a member past
the first week is a commitment to become a paying member for the term you
selected and you will continue to receive our standout stock pick service until
you cancel your subscription. We offer no refunds, no exceptions.
Only one free trial is allowed per household, so if you have signed up in the
past you will not be eligible for another free trial and your 2nd signup will
result in an immediate payment without a refund.
I see that your newsletter shows entry
prices, but where are the exits posted?
Every Bandit Broadcast
stock newsletter pick is shown with a chart, commentary, and specific
entry price. Exit prices for all picks are listed on the Trading List page
in the Member Area. These exits are based on the
Swing Trading Strategy
page. While different traders have different timeframes and tolerance for
risk, you are entirely free to choose your own exit prices, as we post the exits
as a guide for good money management. Entries are uniform because they are
the prices which confirm that a stock is on the move in the expected direction.
Some swing traders expect larger moves over several days or weeks, while day
traders may wish to scalp initial moves. Selecting an exit plan should
involve what is best for you, and the
Stock Trading Strategy
page is the best place to start.
What is your track record and where can
I find it?
We do not keep a "model
portfolio" and therefore an exact return cannot be calculated accurately.
If you have further questions regarding past performance, please
contact us.
How can I track each of the
Bandit Broadcast stock picks?
Ideally, you can track
all of the nightly
stock picks
using real-time alerts software such as
Trade-Ideas.com.
By loading the Bandit
Broadcast picks into this trading tool, you will know exactly how and when these
stocks are on the move. Your trading platform may have an alerts feature,
or you may be a subscriber of
TCNet charting software,
which also has a real-time alerts feature.
Medved QuoteTracker is also a
great free tool for quotes and alerts.
How long do I follow the Bandit
Broadcast picks?
Each Bandit Broadcast pick is updated nightly on the Trading List page in the
Member Area, and stocks are removed from the List when we no longer intend to
trade them. Some stocks may remain on the list for several days before
they trigger, as some need a few days before they start to make their moves.
The Trading List in the Member Area lists all new and current picks which still
have valid technical
chart patterns for trading, so keeping an eye on that page is the best
way to know when it's time to scratch a stock off your watch list.
When can I expect to get my
Bandit Broadcast newsletter?
The nightly newsletter is posted to the Member Area typically by about 8pm EST.
This allows traders time during the evening to select which picks they want to
integrate with their
trading strategy prior to the following day's market open. The
Bandit Broadcast is published 4 nights per week, from Sunday through Wednesday
nights, with occasional Thursday reports depending upon the market conditions.
What should I expect on
Thursday evenings?
The Member Area, Trading List, and Stop Loss levels are always updated on
Thursday evenings, and occasionally a newsletter will be published as well.
We do not publish a Thursday evening newsletter every week for a few reasons.
Mainly because Fridays can often result in choppy trading days, and we may
prefer to simply manage open positions rather than seek new entries ahead of the
weekend. We occasionally will show new picks on Thursday evenings in the
Member Area without posting an entire newsletter, or we may give a market update
without new trade selections. Other times, a trading lesson is given on
Thursday evenings to supplement your trading. These can be just as
valuable as a winning trade as you apply the detailed trading lesson to your own
approach!
How are the Bandit Broadcast stocks
selected?
We keep several watch lists in our
TCNet charting software,
some of which contain core trading lists and others which are dynamic with
different stocks each day that meet our criteria. All of these stocks
share characteristics such as volume, volatility, and minimum share price.
These lists are filtered by custom criteria to determine the final candidate
list which is screened more closely in search of only the best
chart patterns. Read more about
Finding Chart Patterns
in our
Trading Education area.
Is The Stock
Bandit ever compensated in any way for listing stocks in the Bandit Broadcast
Newsletter?
Absolutely not! We are never compensated for listing or mentioning any
stock in the Bandit Broadcast newsletter.
Do The Stock
Bandit employees position themselves in stocks prior to listing them in the
Bandit Broadcast newsletter?
Absolutely not! We trade just as the Bandit Broadcast newsletter suggests,
waiting for the trigger prices to enter positions. We do indeed take the
trades, but only once the trigger price listed in the Bandit Broadcast
newsletter has been met. We strongly believe that these stocks are not
worth owning until they move beyond their
trend lines
and trigger the entry price. A stock below a
trend
line
or
resistance level is not on the move, and therefore we have no interest
in owning stocks which are not moving up! We want confirmation that a
stock is on the move with a penetration of the
trend lines
shown in The Bandit Broadcast before entering positions.
Can I pay my subscription by check?
Yes, you may pay your subscription by check, but only if you subscribe for 3
months or more at a time. This stipulation is made in order to save
problems associated with the mail, as well as the additional legwork required to
cash checks and wait for them to clear at the bank. We prefer to collect
payments electronically, so we offer users the choice of PayPal or direct credit
card on our website. If you wish to pay by check or money order, send your
payment for at least 3 months worth of the monthly dues made payable to The
Stock Bandit, Inc. at the address shown on each page of the website, or
contact us.
How do I cancel my subscription?
We hope you never do! However, when you feel you need to cancel, follow
these steps:
PayPal users: Simply login to your own PayPal account and view your
recent history. Click "Details" beside your last payment to us. The
next page will have a "Cancel Subscription" button which will do the trick.
You must do this in order to end your subscription to TheStockBandit.com, as an
email notification to us may cause a delay. Remember, when you cancel
there are no refunds (no exceptions).
Credit Card
users: Simply login to the Member Area here at TheStockBandit.com and
click "Your Account" from the Member Welcome page. You will then be taken
to your Account Details page, and you will see a link to "Cancel Membership"
