Hi, Sam Volkering here.

I want to ask you something direct.

In the last six months, how many times have you looked at an investment position and genuinely known whether to hold it, add to it, or get out?

Not guessed. Not hoped. Known.

If the honest answer is "not often," you're not alone. We surveyed our own readership recently, and the results were striking. A significant number of our subscribers told us they feel paralysed. Not because they lack information,  but because they have too much of it, and no reliable system for acting on any of it.

That's the problem I want to address on the 21st.

I've been tracking a development in the professional investment world for some time. More and more serious money is moving away from intuition-led decisions toward rules-based systems. Systems that remove emotion and guesswork from the equation. Systems that tell you what to do, and when based on data, not headlines.

On Tuesday 21st April at 4pm GMT, I've asked Keith Kaplan, CEO of TradeSmith, to host a private session to walk you through exactly how this works.  Keith is an expert in using system based approaches to manage investments in volatile markets like the one we're in today.

What you'll hear:

• Why rules-based investing is not just for institutions and how private investors can apply the same discipline to their own portfolios.
• How a systematic approach to buy and sell timing can help protect capital in fast-moving markets  and keep you positioned for recovery when conditions shift.
• A specific method Keith wants to show you and why he believes it's particularly suited to the kind of market we're navigating right now

You don't need to be a professional. You don't need to be watching screens all day. You just need a clear set of rules and the right system to generate them.

Register below to secure your place. Space is limited, and I'll be sending pre-event briefing notes to everyone on the list before we go live.

See you on the 21st.
