How can SpikeTrade help me?

SpikeTrade is rich in trading information; we keep adding new features and enhancing the existing ones. Some of the key features include:

• Looking for trade ideas among Spike picks saves you a huge amount of time. You need not scan thousands of stocks - our Spikers and Members do it for you.
• You may select Spikers and Members with excellent track record whose style appeals to you and 'piggy-back' their trades. Remember, you are responsible for your own risk control and money management.
• We give you a insight into the thinking and decision-making by a group of serious traders. Reading how members made their picks in Current Week's Picks provides you with a unique education.
• Many Members report a significant improvement in performance after they begin submitting their own picks on a voluntary basis. Our friendly competition makes people more focused and better disciplined, and they become better traders.
• We offer you our Trade Journal - a smooth and practical platform for planning trades and keeping good records.
• You receive a unique and consistent perspective on trading from the posts by Alex and Kerry:
  • o SpikeSpeak each Sunday
  • o NH-NL Monday through Thursday
  • o Top Picks analysis on weekends
  • o And many additional posts throughout the week

What are the different levels of membership?

Four levels of membership can satisfy every need and ability:

1. 1. Anyone can see FAQ, About Us, and Traders' Shop.
2. 2. Any registered Guest can read our blog, download a Traders' Kit, take a psychological test of trading fitness, read weekly How I Won My Gold, and receive our monthly newsletter. There is no charge for registering your name and email. We are totally committed to everyone's privacy and will never share your information with anyone.
3. 3. Members receive all current picks and their updates in real time. They receive our daily New High - New Low reports and comments as well as weekly SpikeSpeak commentary by Alex and Kerry. They are welcome to submit weekly picks on a voluntary basis and win renewal discounts. Membership rate is $89 per month ($29 for a trial)
4. 4. A Spiker is a professional or a semi-professional trader who submits picks on a weekly basis, competing for prizes. Spikers pay no fees and can win diplomas and cash for their performance. When vacancies occur, we invite the best Members to move up to the Spike group.

How good has been the performance of Spike group?

The performance of the group has been positive in most quarters. This, in and of itself, is excellent in the market where the majority of people lose money. The performance of Spike completion winners is in a league of its own, double digit percentage gain quarter after quarter. The exact performance for every Spiker is posted in the competition pages.

How do I find Alex' and Kerry's picks?

Each weekend Alex and Kerry choose their favorites among Spikers' submissions. Please go to SpikeSpeak post and scroll to the bottom of that page to see their picks. Alex and Kerry trade their picks with their own money. After closing their trades they post ‘How I Managed My Trade’ reports which you can see by clicking on the AK Journal link. A complete archive is at the bottom of that page.

Can I contact Spikers or SpikeTrade members?

Our system allows Members to send private messages to any Spiker or Member who posted a pick. If that person replies to you, they can make your question and their answer either private or public.

Can I choose not to receive updates via email?

The default setting is for SpikeTrade to send you an email whenever a Spiker or a SpikeTrade member submits or changes their pick and also whenever Alex and Kerry update SpikeTrade content. If you would rather not receive such emails and check the contents on your own, please do the following:

• Click on My SpikeTrade Account
• Scroll down to Email Notifications and uncheck either one or both boxes.

If you change your mind later, you can always check those boxes again
