That’s because the Maximum Profit system flies directly in the face of what most of the mainstream financial media tells us “works” in the market. But they couldn’t be more wrong. So today, I’d like to pull back the curtain a bit and walk you through how the system works. I think every one of our readers would be well-served to adopt at least some of the principles this service uses… How The Maximum Profit System Finds Market-Crushing Stocks At its core, the Maximum Profit system is based on two key components: a technical indicator and a fundamental indicator.
