b) New Position – Urgent, a new position is being suggested

And YES, You will receive a text message (to any US based cell phone) alerting you that you have an LTT issue in your email.
How Is the DTS Long-Term Trader Managed?
- Positions are typically held for weeks to months.
- Both long and short positions may be used depending on market conditions.
- The service is not designed to be fully invested at all times.
- Capital exposure is managed deliberately
- The top priority is risk control.
- The expectation will be that there will be a maximum of 6-8 full positions a MAX.
- That would be considered fully ‘invested’.
- It is never the intention to initiate a position close to earnings. However, positions may be held through earnings if they are “seasoned,” meaning they have achieved at least a 5% favorable move since entry.
- Positions may include both long and short positions. This will be influenced by the overall market environment, but may also be due simply to unique patterns. It may also be a ‘hedge’ in an uncertain market.
What Is the Long-Term Trader Philosophy?
- The LTT is not just ‘recommendations’ – Just a list of ideas doesn’t always help people.
- It is a letter that gives the exact position, entry, stop, targets and full management.
- The management is updated as needed. It is a fully comprehensive letter.
- All you have to figure is your risk amount – a truly hands off way to invest long term.
- Expected hold time for positions is ‘weeks to months’ but there is no max time.

What Is the LTT’s Long-Term Trading and Investment Style?
Nice to know – general comments about Paul’s long-term trading style, from Paul…
One big concept is to be safe at all times, so a “disaster” move one morning does not wipe you out. Too many long-term players try to perfectly time things and then load the boat, causing serious problems if things don’t go their way quickly. I look to never have more than 2–3 risk units at risk. So if two positions are entered and both are full positions, and no stops are changed and no targets are taken, there generally would not be another position until a partial target was hit or a stop was moved up. This is how to safely build into a larger portfolio. Note that this concept is still at risk of a disastrous market gap down, as “stops” are not insurance policies on a big gap down.
Generally speaking, I like to get “safe” with a third of the trade fairly quickly on a nice pop in the right direction. This allows more flexibility and lets you build the portfolio and the “back halves/thirds.”
Strategically, I am not a “bottom fisher.” Remember, everything looks like a bargain on the way to “zero.” Occasionally, exceptional quality plays may look like that (naturally, “bottom fishing” is not a strategic term, but one everyone relates to). I do like steep pullbacks in strong trends. I also like transitional types of plays.

Frequently Asked Questions About the DTS Long-Term Trader
What Is the DTS Long-Term Trader?
The DTS Long-Term Trader is a subscription service that provides longer-term stock trade ideas for traders and investors who prefer holding positions for days, weeks, or potentially longer rather than actively day trading.
How Are Trade Ideas Delivered?
Subscribers receive clear trade information that may include the stock symbol, entry area, stop location, targets, position updates, and trade-management instructions. Updates are provided when action is needed.
How Long Are Positions Typically Held?
Holding times vary depending on the setup and market conditions. Some positions may last only a few days, while others may remain open for several weeks or longer.
Do I Need to Be at My Computer Throughout the Day?
No. The Long-Term Trader is designed for people who cannot or do not want to watch the market continuously. However, subscribers are responsible for reviewing updates and managing their own orders and positions.
What Types of Securities Are Traded?
The primary focus is U.S.-listed stocks and market ETFs. Opportunities are selected based on technical patterns, market conditions, risk, and longer-term profit potential.
How Much Money Do I Need to Participate?
There is no required account size, but the amount of capital needed depends on the number of positions you choose to hold and the risk you assign to each trade. Subscribers should adjust position size to fit their own account and risk tolerance.
Do I Have to Take Every Trade?
No. Subscribers decide which trades are appropriate for their own goals, available capital, and tolerance for risk. Some may take every qualified trade, while others may select only certain opportunities.
Is the Long-Term Trader Suitable for Newer Traders?
It can be useful for traders and investors at different experience levels, but subscribers should understand basic order entry, stop-loss orders, position sizing, and trading risk. The service provides trade ideas and management guidance, but each subscriber remains responsible for their own decisions.
Can I Combine the Long-Term Trader With Other DTS Services?
Yes. Discounts may be available when the DTS Long-Term Trader is combined with the DTS Daily Market Letter, DTS Trading Room, or both. See the DTS Price Sheet for current details.
A Final Note
Remember, there is risk in trading and investing and YOU have to be the ultimate decision maker of your RISK as the overnight holding of positions, although the ‘standard’ for decades, can result in unplanned losses from overnight moves.
