Core Position Trading™ for
Stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

A Core Position is defined as a core or basic position in a readily tradable item, including such things as precious metal (PM) bullion or coins, stocks, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), etc.   Whatever it is you are trading will here be called the "item".

A Core Position Account comprises a quantity of the item AND a cash reserve position.   The cash reserve position enables purchases adding to the quantity of the item from time to time.   Proceeds of the sales of some of the item, from time to time, are added to the cash reserve position.   The cash reserve position enables purchases adding to the quantity of the item from time to time...

Core Position Trading™  (CPT) is defined as buying or selling, adding to or subtracting from, the core position of the item in such a manner as to, over time, increase both the amount of the item AND the cash in the account.
