1 Day trading, short term trading, options trading, and futures trading are extremely risky undertakings. They generally are not appropriate for someone with limited capital, little or no trading experience, and/ or a low tolerance for risk. Never execute a trade unless you can afford to and are prepared to lose your entire investment. All trading operations involve serious risks, and you can lose your entire investment. No trades are recommendations or advice and we cannot be sued for losses of capital. All trades are for educational purposes only. Contact your broker or RAI for execution, margin, and other capital requirements. Everyone watching presentation adheres to ALL disclaimers on www.optionhacker.com and www.keeneonthemarket.com RISK DISCLAIMER

2 Trading Value (not price!) – A Real World Example Say I want to buy a new car…. I go on TrueCar.com and I get this chart of all the reported sales, So I know what everyone else has bought it for, what the average price is, etc. A) I find a dealer advertising the car brand new for $33.5k – Great! B) I find all dealers advertising the car brand new for $25k – Wait what? – What happened to the value of the car? Something’s changed! Do I still want to buy it? Is $25k the right price?? C) I find all dealers advertising the car brand new for $45k – Wait what? – Why is it so expensive now? Do I still want it? If I don’t buy it now, will it cost more later?? 2

3 Trading Value (not price!) – A Real World Example By knowing the car’s “value area”, I know: what everyone else bought it for, what’s a good price, what’s a steal, and at what price I’m the sucker at. But also knowing the value area, I can recognize when the price is outside of range and more actively participate in price discovery: – Below value: How low can I buy it for? I’ll wait to find out. – Above value: How low can I buy it for? How high will the price go? I can’t wait, but the seller can! 3 Value Area Low Value Area High Point Of Control Buyer Wins Dealer Wins Price Discovery Zone: Best Trade Price Unknown “ Do I hear 30…25…20…15…?” Price Discovery Zone: Best Trade Price Unknown “Do I hear 40…45…50…55…?”

4 Trading Value (not price!) 4 Value area on stock charts works the same way. Volume is charted on the X Axis and a profile is created. 70% of the profile is the value area. Buyers In Control, Sellers Step Away Sellers In Control, Buyers Step Away Price Time Buyers In Control Sellers In Control Fairest Price to Do Business Value Area Low Value Area High Point of Control Discovery (Auction) Zone “Do I hear 50…45…40…35…” “Do I hear 60…65…70…75…”

5 Trading Value (not price!) 5 Price Volume Price Time The Trading Plan: Participate in Price Discovery (Auction) Zones B – Buy A – Above S – Sell B – Below O – Or W – Wait W - Within I wait for breaks of the value area, I buy on a break above, I short on a break below. And I am cautiously watching/waiting when inside value.
