INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on starting your journey into Day Trading stocks! I am
Cameron Fous, Professional Day-Trader of 13 years. Me and the
Fous4Trading Team are here to help guide and mentor you through your
journey to freedom and profitability. In this Playbook, I’ll teach you the BEST
way to get started trading stocks from a complete novice to a professional.
Remember, becoming a successful Day Trader only comes to the top 10%
and those are the people that work the hardest and are dedicated to this
profession. Most new traders get scared when they hear that 90% of traders
fail. However, the reason behind this intimidating statistic is that 99%
traders get started the WRONG WAY! If you are new to trading and mostly
concerned with what broker or software to use you are going to fail. You will
be the 90%, but it’s not too late!
Luckily, with trading failure is an option! Day traders who lose money in the
market are losing because of their failure to choose the right stocks, manage
risk, use the proper entries/exits, or follow the rules of a proven strategy. I
was one for those people for 3 years! Let me explain…
LEARN FROM MY MISTYAKES
I have been consistently making 6 figures and even making $70,000 in a
single month! However, I didn’t just get here overnight. I have hustled,
struggled, succeeded, and failed many times over. I myself am a prime
example of the 99% that get started the wrong way. Let’s break it down:
My Mistake I came into the market overenthusiastic and underprepared.
Seeing other traders make $100s to $1,000s of dollars daily and
thinking…’wow, buy low and sell high. Easy enough!’
Your Lesson This couldn’t be further from the truth. Learning to trade takes
hours of practice and understanding of a successful strategy. Find a
successful trader and take direction and learn an entire strategy before
risking your capital.
My Mistake I went headfirst into the most risky form of stock trading
possible…Sub Penny Stocks with low volume trading at $0.005!
3
Your Lesson While many call me a “penny stock trader,” which is false, I
am a technical stock trader of stocks only with healthy volume on the major
exchanges. So, stick to stocks with healthy volume in the $1-10 share
range.
My Mistake One of the first stocks I ever bought I saw on the Homepage of
eTrade! I had ZERO clue why I bought the stock. This is one of my most
embarrassing moments as a trade, but it’s an important one to learn from. I
let my emotional fantasy of getting started TODAY take over my patience to
actually learning a real strategy first.
Your Lesson Always have a trading plan before entering any stock. Trading
a stock that you found from email newsletters, websites, or message boards
is a quick way towards failure.
Before entering any stock you must know and complete the following
checklist:

So there are several of the mistakes I made when I started our trading. I
learned so much from my first 3 years failing. I blew up my account twice.
Lost my initial $10,000 and then saved up another $5,000, lost all
that... saved up another $5,000 again and finally began to be consistently
profitable.
What did I do differently to become profitable? I actually just followed my
own strategy! Sounds crazy but it was true. I stopped breaking all of my
own rules and focused less on always hitting Home-Runs and more on
consistency. It sounds simple, but learning to conquer your own self and
emotions is one of the hardest things to do in trading.
Most if not all of you have 3 years to figure out how to be successful in the
stock market. Thankfully, my previous failures and eventual success
combined with my love to teaching have given me a unique opportunity to
help others drastically cut the learning curve down to just 90 DAYS! That’s
right; I’ve created a plan that in 90 Days can incubate a totally new trader
into a confident professional. We’ll discuss this and how you can gain the
direction or path to trading success later.
HOW TO OBTAIN A TRADING EDGE
A trading edge is a technique or approach that creates an advantage over
other market players. Remember, most traders are lemmings and it’s your
job to learn a complete strategy and stick to it. There’s the expression of
‘being in the right place at the right time,’ which has a coincidental
connotation, but imagine if you could choose to be exactly in the right place
at the right time to get ahead. With trading stocks it’s very possible if you
understand and utilize the following:
• Powerful Technical Breakout Patterns
• Good Entries
• Favorable Profit/Loss
• Patience
Every day after the bell goes off at 9:30AM EST there are many
opportunities to make money. However, finding the ideal setup will take time
and patience. Many new traders are way too over excited when they first
start trading and end up just pressing a lot of buttons. Sit back, wait, and
observe the market until those 5 Star setups reveal themselves. Of course,
you first need to learn how to recognize them.
5
The Fous4 Trading system teaches only high quality long-term technical
breakout patterns before they happen. Combine the above with using
precise entry points with a favorable profit/loss ratio you will have an edge
on the trade. We teach our students how to find and trade a minimum 2:1
profit loss ratio (where the profit potential of 2x the risk). With a 2:1 profit
loss ratio, you can make money and be profitable with only 50% win rate.
Let’s break it down with some Profit Loss Ration Statistics:
• 2:1 Profit Loss Ratio = 33% to Break Even
• 1:1 Profit Loss Ratio = 50% to Break Even
• 1:2 Profit Loss Ratio = 66% to Break Even
The difficult part is to stay disciplined and always stick to the best trading
criteria; even if that means protecting yourself and your account and not
trade for the day. Later I’ll show you exactly how we’ll teach you to find the
best stocks to trade and make sure you have the edge.
THE TRANSITION TO BECOMING A FULL-TIME TRADER
Becoming a full-time trader certainly doesn't happen overnight. However,
that doesn't mean trading is a difficult to enter profession. With today's
technology the average person, regardless of location around the world, can
easily access the market with powerful tools and software from the comfort
of home. In addition, with increased inter-connectivity from social media
new traders can learn from trading professionals that can give new traders
the needed guidance and direction to getting started the right way.
Then why is it that most traders fail? The number one reason is that
new traders lack the proper respect and don't treat day-trading as a serious
profession. As I mentioned earlier, the easy access to the 'powerful market
tools' that anyone can use can be a double-edge sword. Yes, it levels the
playing field and is empowering; but it also makes it too easy for an
overconfident new trader to open a trading account and think he/she can
beat professionals consistently in the markets. It's equal to walking into a
sporting goods store, buying all the necessary football equipment, and
walking onto the field as an offensive lineman for the New England Patriots.
You will instantly get destroyed! Trading is the only profession where anyone
can work instantly among professionals with zero experience.
The first step to transitioning to becoming a full-time trader...humble
yourself and get started the right way. Luckily, I’ve spent over a year
developing a 90 Day Program to do just that…

90 DAY ROADMAP TO TRADING SUCCESS
As I mentioned, it took me 3 years to be consistently profitable at trading. It
was a struggle but I made it through! Understand that 13 years ago, I had
to learn on my own the hard way by trial and error. That’s why I also love
teaching so others don’t have to go what I went through. So…after over a
year of planning, creating, and testing I finally finished my new complete
novice to professional 90 Day Training Program. Let get into it!

There you have it! Your First month will be intense information packed
learning experience. Just like anything in life, if you want to get ahead and
learn a new skill you need to put the time in a study. However, I present
everything clearly for you so all you have to do is sit back at home, watch,
listen and learn!
Day 30-60
Now that you have taken the time to learn my entire trading strategy with
hours of live examples you’re ready to start the next step. Now you can start

Day 60-90
IT’S GO TIME! Now it’s time to start getting familiar with your broker or
place to trade and start placing some real trades. These 30 days will take
the biggest adjustment for most traders. While some of you might get off to

perhaps break even when you start trading with real capital. DON’T WORRY.
This is completely normal and we’ll be working with you daily on Fous4Live
and 3x week in mentorship sessions.
What many new traders don’t realize when they are not performing, that a
small difference in your win/loss ratio and make the difference. That could
be just 1-2 more winning trades a week! That’s why it’s important to know
the important information about your trading performance.
There’s a great and affordable online service called TraderSync that can help
you track your performance. This is critical information to understand when
you first go live with real capital. This way, adjustments can be made and
you can visualize when you are performing and not performing as desired.
