Benefits of the Mechanical Trade System
- Beginners can trade like pros — this simple method lets beginners and experienced traders get started with as little as $3,000 and make profitable daily trades like an industry pro.
- Trade less, live more — no more countless hours glued to a screen. The method takes 60 to 90 minutes to execute, so you get in, get out, and enjoy life — even when the market goes south.
- Minimize risk for steady profits — a little-known, proven method that reduces entry risk to a minimum. Once you’re in a trade, it self-manages risk and runs automatically, without you being there.
- Versatile trading method — round-the-clock electronic trading means you work whenever you want, for as many hours as you please. Want to make more? Trade more. Good with less? Trade less.
- Start trading in 3–4 weeks — even if you’ve never made a single trade, you’ll be able to start in just three to four weeks, then scale your aggressiveness to your comfort level.
- Ideal strategy — you need a good, strong “impulse leg” to begin with. The stronger the impulse leg, the more likely the Mechanical Trade will work.
“I followed Rick for a while, then took the Hidden Pivot course about a month ago — followed by the Mechanical Trade course. Made my money back plus on the first few trades. I’d traded off and on for years but always seemed to pick the exact wrong time to buy. I retired, took these courses, and they give you a reason to buy not based on emotion or what-ifs, but on the chart. When to buy, when to sell — and you use that knowledge to trade whatever you want. I cannot recommend the courses enough.”

Editor and Publisher of “Rick’s Picks”
Dear fellow trader,
If you’ve been cynical of the market like me, if you’re fed up with the ups and downs of your portfolio, or if you just want to replace your day-job income with safe and simple trading strategies…
I promise to show you a clear and proven trading system that can:
- Generate income safely, simply, and steadily for as long as you live.
- Require no previous experience.
- Require no math-wizardry — I’m certainly no math wiz.
- Take just an hour a day.
That’s right — within just 30 days, you’ll be making trades that can generate enough to replace your income in just 60 to 90 minutes a day.
This is game-changing, because among 16,000 workers and retirees surveyed across 15 countries, only 36 percent said they’re very confident they’ll be able to retire comfortably. Globally, that share drops to 29 percent, according to a report shared on aarp.com. It’s sad that so many people work most of their lives, reach a place where they should be able to enjoy life — and can’t.
That never has to be you — with strategies like the ones I reveal.
“I had $24,500 in my IRA and I now have about $34,500! What can I say? I’m amazed by your uncanny ability to see stock moves. To put it simply: boy, I’m glad you’re on my side!”
Mike Boschma — at-home trader
The trick is to accurately and consistently read those chart ticks so you’re ahead of the curve — knowing what the market is going to do with a certainty that shames the so-called experts. You’ll find out how you can do this with zero previous experience — but first…
Who is Rick Ackerman?
You’re probably wondering right off the bat, “Who is this guy?” and “Is he blowing smoke?”
I’m the editor and publisher of Rick’s Picks, an online service for traders from novice to expert. I’ve been trading for more than 40 years — a dozen of them as an options market-maker on the floor of the Pacific Stock Exchange.
My work has been featured by CNBC and Bloomberg, and I’ve written on the markets and the economy for numerous publications, including Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities, Barron’s, Stocks, Futures & Options magazine, and The San Francisco Examiner.
A headline in Barron’s labeled me an “intrepid trader” after I helped the FBI solve a notorious pill-tampering case. I received a $200,000 reward and a guest appearance on FBI: The Untold Story.
In the trading world, I’m known for the unusual accuracy of my price predictions and for the Hidden Pivot Method I use to trade and forecast. My insights and timely calls have made me a frequent guest of Max Keiser, Greg Hunter, Corey Fleck, and Jim Goddard — and my work has appeared on ZeroHedge, Seeking Alpha, Benzinga, The Daily Reckoning, FX Street, Gold-Eagle, GoldSeek, 321Gold, and Kitco.
What happened to our ‘nest eggs’?
About every 10 years, it seems the stock market crashes for one reason or another. In 2008 we had the Great Recession. More recently, “The Great Pause” rattled many people’s investments — and may drive volatility for a year or more.
That’s a serious problem
If you want steady returns and portfolio income and all you know is “buy low, sell high”… you might have better luck at the blackjack table in Vegas. In other words, that’s not gonna cut it. And you don’t need to waste time and money on fly-by-night “opportunities” — gold schemes, franchise ideas, and the rest — that cost a fortune and leave you broke, busy, frustrated, or all of the above.
That’s why I’m revealing one of my best trading strategies — one that has worked for me and thousands of students, for decades, to generate income regardless of market downturns. I hate claims of a “silver bullet.” Instead, I teach you a proven, step-by-step method you can learn for yourself.
“As a retired CTA I’ve never seen anything as prescient as your Black Box Forecasts. It’s like having a crystal ball. On my very first trade with you, the long bond had closed at 112.28. You advised it would sink to ‘exactly 112.16.’ Your instructions: bid 112.17, risk just eight ticks, hold to a 113.17 objective. I entered before the open, and like magic the low was hit shortly after the open at exactly 112.16 — and the market rallied through 113.17 for a clean $1,000 profit per contract! I particularly admire your discipline to only offer trades whose projected profits are four times the money risked. With odds like that, you provide a risk/reward discipline that is unrivaled.”

Mechanical Trade System
A rules-based trading strategy that minimizes risk and maximizes profit potential — regardless of market swings.
Learn this simple yet powerful technique for just $497

How to accomplish two powerful investment objectives
The Mechanical Trade System meets two critical objectives for a financially stress-free life:
- Preserve capital — designed to preserve capital by placing low-risk trades with relatively small amounts, based on a few simple rules and ultra-easy calculations. It’s an ideal hedge against portfolio erosion and inflation, because you’re trading stocks and options.
- Generate portfolio income — the #1 reason most businesses shut down isn’t lack of sales, it’s lack of cash-flow. With enough cash-flow, you can thrive for decades. Half of Americans are rightly scared they’ll go broke in retirement — because they have no plan to generate income without a full-time job.
With as little as $2,000–$3,000, you can generate profits that replace your paycheck in just 60–90 minutes a day — as many days as you want, for however much supplemental monthly income you need.

Tuition
This course could easily sell for $5,000 or more — and I’ve sold courses like it in that range for years. But my aim is to help a lot more people facing the shift in the economy. I see too many hard-working people scared of the economy, while I’m greeted by highly skilled workers at the grocery store. I know they wish there were a better way. So I’ve priced this course at a moderate $497.

“I’ve taken other classes and spent years listening to so-called gurus about how well they do… usually a bunch of crap, I’ve found. However, this Mechanical Trading System course gives you an upper hand. I’m still learning, but I’m impressed with how Rick’s setups work once plotted. After two weeks I’ve done well with AAPL, repaid for my course, and signed up for the daily service too — all with profits made using it.

Myths about trading — demystified
Perhaps you have some lingering ideas about trading that make you wary. I’ll be the first to say you should be scared out of your boots — there are many well-founded fears about trading that are simply false when it comes to the methods I teach.
Myth #1: Trading takes 8 hours a day watching charts.
Popular trading culture pushes this idea — but it’s completely false for my methods. Here’s the truth:
- Just one hour a day — do a few trades a month, or spend 60–90 minutes a day, five days a week, to generate a great full-time income.
- Gain leverage with automation — set up your trade first thing in the morning and get out while everyone else is second-guessing themselves all day. I’ll teach you to let automation handle most of the work.
- You control your time — you don’t have to trade every day. If you prefer, trade just one day a week and be done within an hour or two — for the whole week. Module 5 covers different schedules.
Myth #2: Market timing is highly risky.
Very true — most methods that try to predict market moves are horrible, and worse in an up-and-down market. But there’s a reason I’ve been a successful trader for decades, and thousands of my students have too. Here’s the truth:
- Limit risk — I show you how to limit risk with simple moves as you set up trades. My system finds very specific patterns with commensurately small risk, so you don’t have to worry about losing your principal.
- Precision — the amount you risk can be so precise that you choose what you trade to limit it.
- Power of the method — the Mechanical Trade combined with the Camouflage Trade provides extremely limited trade risk.
Myth #3: Trading is too complicated.
Some methods involve a lot of math, charts, and hare-brained factors. But my Mechanical Method involves zero math — you learn to identify chart structures and patterns to make logical, emotionless, objective decisions. Here’s the truth:
- 30 days to trading — even if you’ve never made a single trade, within 3 to 4 weeks you’ll have the confidence to start making trades and generating profits while limiting risk.
- No complicated math — I was an English major, so trust me: if this involved complicated math, I’d run for the hills. There are rules that govern everything and a few simple calculations — which is a great thing, because it takes the emotion out of the work.
Here’s my promise: once you fully grasp the Mechanical Trade System, you’re going to be stunned at how precisely you’ll tag market highs, lows, upturns, and downturns — often coming within a tick or two of dead-center bull’s-eyes on many of your entries and exits.

This simple method lets beginners and experienced traders get started with as little as $3,000 and make profitable daily trades like an industry pro.
