Jason Bond’s Track Record Since Inception of Jason Bond Picks:
Jason Bond started his educational stock trading service, Jason Bond Picks, back in 2011 and has been profitable every year since. The chart below displays Jason Bond’s swing trading performance against the S&P 500. Over the five years of Jason Bond Picks’ existence, The S&P 500 has returned a meager 10% per year on average, while Jason Bond has returned an impressive 64% per year on average.
| Year | S&P 500 (%) | Jason Bond (%) | Jason Bond Start ($) | Jason Bond Finish ($) | Jason Bond Profit ($) |
| 2011 | 0 | 14.73 | 206, 931 | 237, 407 | 30, 476 |
| 2012 | 13.41 | 6.05 | 287, 407 | 304, 786 | 17, 379 |
| 2013 | 29.60 | 78.18 | 304, 786 | 543, 066 | 238, 280 |

Jason Bond Picks Results – His Breakout Year:
Jason’s breakout year was in 2013 when he took a rather large $304,000 portfolio and turned it into $543,000. That resulted in his largest dollar profit in a year thus far, while the S&P 500 ran nearly 30%. But even with 2013 being such a profitable year, it doesn’t even come close to matching his percentage gain in 2015. In 2013, Jason grew his portfolio 78%, but in 2015, he grew his portfolio over 190%.
The most impressive part about his 2015 performance is that he began the year with the lowest portfolio value of any previous year, not to mention the S&P 500 also closed negative. This type of performance is unheard of – In a year that the S&P 500 finished negative, Jason Bond was still able to find enough swing trading opportunities using his niche strategy in order to capture nearly 200% in returns. This just goes to show you that his strategy can work in any market – bullish or bearish.
Five Years, Over $520,000 in Swing Trading Profits:
If we look back over five years ago, Jason Bond was still a public school teacher in Webster, New York making about $43,000 per year. He spent 10 years of his life, from 2001-2011, teaching in NYS public schools. Not to mention the 6 years of college, $70,000 in tuition, and loss of income it took to get him to that point. In 2011, he finally quit his job in an attempt to take control of his financial freedom through swing trading. He has now made over $520,000 in swing trading profits in 5 years, which is only half the time it took him to earn $430,000 as a school teacher.

I do not know much about swing trading and the stock trades that Jason Bond Picks is all about. But one of my dear friends who has been into stocks and bonds his whole adult life will love this. I will be sending him this link and I am sure he will be checking Jason Bond Picks out very soon.
Money talks! I’ve read a few swing trading books before, but, no one ever laid out a review of results like this. Does Jason Bond have 2016 results posted yet? Also, I saw that he uses a large amount of capital. Can someone start with less? I read in a Toni Turner book (I think) that anyone who wants to swing trade should start with a minimum $25,000 account. Thanks. Alyssa
Hi Alyssa – here’s Jason Bond’s track record with 2016 included. In the past 3 years, he’s started with around a $100K starting portfolio and has earned over 100% annual returns each time. So far in 2017, he’s up roughly 125% coming toward the end of August.
There are many people who start trading with much less than $25K. In fact, most subscribers to his service probably start with accounts in the $2-10K range. But you have to be realistic about your dollar returns with a small account. For example, 2 traders can both achieve the same percentage results, say 100% in a year. But if one only started with a $2K, that’s $2K in profits. And if the other started with a $25K account, that’s a $25K profit. Big difference in dollar value, but same percentage return. The more capital you have, the more you can make, but it’s not impossible to build a small account into a much larger one over time. It’s been done. Kyle Dennis, for example, was able to turn a $15K account into over $1M in just a few years.
Articles like these really help get new traders into using the jargon that traders use. My oldest son has been self training himself in the area of stock trading. I will tell him about this site. I am almost positive that he can benefit in some way from an educational program and community like Jason Bond Picks. Thanks for this!
This is like the third post I’ve read about Jason Bond’s swing trading strategies and the results show that his tactics have yielded great success consistently. To make that much money in so many different market conditions is truly amazing. His strategies are definitely something I would try if I could afford it right now.
Hi Matt, as a professional Forex Trader I appreciate a fellow trader who does well. What I do not see is proof of Jason results. It is easy to say I earned x but no back up.
Before I invest any cash I need to know that:
1. The trader can do what he says
2. The platform that he uses is financially strong
For example I have just signed a contract with a trading house that can prove 35% per month profit. I am doing my final check on them before I launch it on my trading platform.
Matt the best proof is his CA confirming it on his letterhead. Then the sky will be the limit for you.
Hi Brian – I really appreciate your input as a professional trader. I’d love to hear more about your experiences as you progress within the Forex markets.
As far as Jason Bond verifying his trades, I personally find his real-time text, email, and chat alerts proof enough. In addition to that, he shares screenshots on Twitter every so often. But if people don’t believe his alerts or screenshots, he also live streams his ETrade account during market hours exclusively for Millionaire Roadmap members, so there’s no possible way for him to hide from his trades. Win or lose, his members are watching his every move. He’s certainly experienced his fair share of losses over the years, but in my experience, he’s always owned up to them and used them as lessons for the future.
On top of that, he keeps a spreadsheet that offers a monthly breakdown of every trade he’s made since inception with accompanying profits/losses. I’ve published some of that data starting in January 2016, which can be found here: Jason Bond Portfolio Performance. I’m sure he would provide that spreadsheet to any potential subscriber upon request.
Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Trade green and take care!
Hey Matt,
I was looking up for ways to make money online and came to your site. Can you tell me if swing trading would be smth for me? I do not have as much money, so I would like to know if its also possible to start with very small amounts of money (e.g. $50)?
Thanks in advance for your answer,
greets, Eva
Hi Eva. I always think it’s best to start any potential trading or investing strategy with a paper account, in which case you wouldn’t need any money to get started (besides the cost of a Jason Bond Picks membership). Even if you’re not ready to become a premium (paying) subscriber, you can always sign up for his free email list, watch some of his YouTube videos, read his blog posts, etc. – there are many ways to educate yourself for free as a beginner, but of course a paying membership will provide much more value and a more structured approach.
When it comes time to fund a brokerage account with real money, however, the amount you want to start with is completely up to you. Some brokers have minimums, so they may not allow a $50 initial deposit, but you’ll certainly find some that will. The most important thing is to be realistic with the returns you’ll see with such a small account. A 100% yearly return, for example, is amazing on Wall Street, but if you start with a $50 account, you’d only end the year with $100, which isn’t much money in the grand scheme of things. You’ll also have to consider commissions (usually $5-10 per trade) and can eat into profits much worse on a smaller account than a larger one. You may want to look into Robinhood – a brokerage with no minimum deposits or commissions.
As a guide, the trading accounts I’ve seen on the lower end of the spectrum are usually $500-1,000 at a minimum, but can range into hundreds of thousands or millions. Everyone has different financial situations, goals, availability, etc. In the end, it’s on you to decide what will work for your individual situation. Take care!
Hi Matt,
I must be honest with you, I don’t know much about swing trading. However, I do know that I too would like to take financial control of my life. Just looking at Jason’s profit success, speaks volumes.I do realize that these profits will not come quickly as I would have to give it time, am I right? So, if I want to dive into this swing trading how difficult is it to learn and where would you recommend I start?
Thanks and eagerly awaiting your reply.
Regards,
Roopesh
Hi Roopesh. Profits can’t be guaranteed in the stock market, and it’s also important to be realistic about the income-potential depending on your starting portfolio value. For example: a 50% annual return is amazing, but it’s a lot different when you’re comparing a $10,000 starting portfolio ($5,000 return) versus a $100,000 starting portfolio ($50,000 return). I’m sure you already understand this concept, but it takes capital in order to make money on Wall Street.
For beginners, the best course of action is probably to focus on educating themselves as much as possible and paper trading their chosen strategy, while growing their starting (real money) portfolio in parallel for when they feel comfortable enough to implement their skills and know-how.
If interested in Jason Bond Picks, you can start with his Day & Swing Trading service, watch the video lessons, read the daily watch lists, follow the real-time alerts, interact within the chat room, and paper trade to make sure it fits in with your lifestyle and trading preferences. After a certain amount of time, you’ll know if it’s right for you, and with paper trading it’s risk-free.
The concepts Jason Bond teaches are simple yet effective, but as with anything new – it takes time and dedication to initially learn and then perfect. Luckily, JB has a 10+ year background in education that allows him to convey trading concepts in the simplest terms, making them easy for anyone to understand.
If you have any additional questions, certainly let me know. Trade Green!
This a really interesting post. The way Jason managed to increase his capital is surreal. I would like to know more about trading. Can you explain to me what is it about because I don’t fully understand. Is it like stock exchange? or is exactly that? I would totally like to have a year like Jason’s 2015.
Hi Franni. Jason Bond’s swing trading returns truly are amazing year after year. The goal with his service, Jason Bond Picks, is to teach novice traders (and even veteran traders) how to do the same thing. He trades US stocks on major stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), American Stock Exchange (AMEX), and National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ). He’s currently up 179% (+$179,000) less than 5 months into 2016. You can review all of his recent swing trades in the portfolio performance section. His goal is to achieve 5-20%+ profit per trade on 1-4 day holds, which can certainly add up to a lot over time with discipline and consistency. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Take care!
Hi! I am kind of inspired after reading your article! I was always interested in trading. A friend of mine made a lot of money doing that, but unfortunately he didn’t want to reveal the secrets. I hope that my journey with elite trading will lead me to the success. Thx
Wow, that’s a big deal of profit Jason Bond got. I have tried trading before but for just a very short period of time. My portfolio got busted totally after 2 months of trading. Since then I stopped trading. But I’m still considering myself to get back on trading someday when I’m already making a passive income from affiliate marketing.
This is absolutely amazing. I have to know more about this so I bookmarked your site. I am going to read everything to learn about it. I have always wanted to learn about stocks but it is so hard for me to know where to get started. Do you help with learning this? I am wary of giving anyone money. I wonder what the initial cost is to get started at this?
The Free Resources page is probably the best place to get started. Most services offer a free newsletter that you can follow to learn about their offerings, and if you combine that with some YouTube videos and a paper trading account, it can really help you build a foundation in active trading without spending or risking a dime.
If you find that you’re seeking even more information and training through premium services, it will typically cost around $50-100 per month depending on the service. Specifically for Jason Bond Picks, his flagship Swing Trading service runs $297 per quarter ($99 per month). Yearly membership will bring prices down even further if you’re willing to commit long term.
And then, of course, it takes a real money portfolio to make money in the market when you’re ready. Starting portfolio values vary widely from person to person (ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands), so it’s hard to provide anyone with a general idea of what it should be. The concensus between most traders is that $500-1,000 is the absolute minimum, but ideally more. It’s just hard to diversify and make trading commissions worth it with such a small portfolio.
I have no experience when it comes to trading bonds or bond swing trades so this post was all foreign to me. But this was something that I wanted to gain more knowledge in. I will definitely look into Jason Bonds Picks after I familiarize myself with bonds. From the post I can understand that bonds are helpful but do you have older post that breaks down how bonds work?
Hi Lauren. I apologize for the confusion, but Jason Bond Picks deals with stocks, not bonds. Jason Bond is the owner of Jason Bond Picks – a stock swing trading service. Unfortunately, this site doesn’t cover bonds, but you can learn more about them at Investopedia, if interested. And if you’d like to learn more about swing trading, you can read this article: what is swing trading? I hope this helps.
Very interesting record. Several years ago; I was a swing trader for two years, but the results were not good at all. But from time to time I think about trading again. The main problem is that it needs full time focusing and hardly can consider it as a side business. I wish if there is a way to trade again but with limiting my trading time to something like two hours daily maximum; any ideas?
Hi Daria. Are you considering a 2 hour block of time or 2 hours total at various times throughout the day? If it’s a 2 hour block, then the only option I can think of is day trading, attempting to be in and out of your positions within that time frame. This type of scalp trading minimizes the risks associated with holding stocks throughout the day, or even overnight, if you don’t have the availability to monitor your positions tick-by-tick. But you must be careful not to force trades while knowing in the back of your mind that you’re giving yourself a limited timeframe per day. Lack of patience can be the downfall of many traders, especially beginners. Never trade just to trade. Wait for high-potential opportunities to present themselves before pulling the trigger. Education and practice is key with every strategy as well, which is why I always recommend following the market as best you can and paper trading for starters.
If you’re saying you’re looking for 2 hours total throughout the day to dedicate to trading, then swing trading could certainly be a good fit. Swing trading is a strategy consisting of roughly 1-10 day holds, which doesn’t require full-time focus, so I’m a little thrown off by your comment. In fact, Jason Bond developed his swing trading strategy at Jason Bond Picks while teaching full-time in New York, and Kyle Fisher of K Capital Advisors developed his swing trading strategy while working full-time in private equity. They both had full time jobs, working 8-10 hours per day, and were still able to actively manage their trading accounts on the side. The watch lists, market updates, and trade alerts, which are staples of these 2 services, are provided with this in mind – the notion that traders shouldn’t necessarily need to be glued to their computers all day.
Any thoughts as to why your results were lacking when you attempted swing trading the first time? Did you use any particular stock education service? I look forward to your responses. Take care!
