Day Trading: Has Gold Topped Out for the Year

By , 15 November, 2009, No Comment

Today, 11/12/09, the gold market took its first corrective action on the downside. The question many traders will have now is, have we hit the high end for gold this year?

In my latest video I examine that question in some of the internals that I see and feel are important in this market.

New Video: RIMM’s Big Buyback Bet

By , 6 November, 2009, No Comment

“Research In Motion Ltd. (RIMM) will spend up to $1.2 billion to buy back about 21 million of its shares, or 3.6% of its total shares outstanding. The buyback will start Nov. 9 and last for up to one year.”

That was the headline news today on Research in Motion symbol RIMM so I decided to look at the chart to see what was going on in the “real world”. When I got to the chart, one thing immediately jumped out at me and that was the negative action that this market has shown in the past several weeks. Looking at this market a little closer I was able to see that our “Trade Triangle” technology was 100% negative and that our monthly “Trade Triangle” indicator had turned negative on October 28th at $63.38. This is a major negative in my mind for this market.

In this short video I show you exactly what we expect to see for RIMM in the future. I also share with you some downside targets that we are looking at which may surprise you.

The Stock Index Secret Trade: A Powerful Trading Technique for the Novice Trader.

By , 6 November, 2009, No Comment

I have been involved in the securities business for my entire adult life, having been a trader at both the retail and institutional level. Trading stocks, or forex pairs is a wonderful way to stack up money, if you have the experience and knowledge to trade successfully.

Unfortunately, that learning curve can be a steep one, and expensive. With that in mind, I looked over a program to trade equities that is specifically designed for beginners. As you may know, most stock indexes are composites of a basket of equities trading on either the NYSE or the NASDAQ exchanges. These indexes are traded in a variety of methods ranging from Options to Futures Contracts, and usually originate on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the CBOT. The nice thing about stock indexes is there is great transparency in trading these issues. The markets are well regulated, liquid, and orderly.

Many novice traders purchase trading robots or exotic trading systems that may cost as much as $10,000 a year, and might gave limited success. I do not recommend purchasing bots or high priced systems to start. I also recommend that all traders “paper trade” on demo account until they are proficient in a single market. I do not recommend trying to trade multiple markets in the learning stage of trading, as each market has a distinct personality and demeanor. Learn to trade one market proficiently, then you might choose to move on to others. Several trade set-ups repeat themselves on a regular basis in the market. This can be attributed, theoretically, to a number of factors.

1. Technical traders trade in tight parameters and use similar indicators. Thus, support and resistance may become self-fulfilling trading patterns.

2. Some behavior economists believe the human response to a given set of trading stimulus is a constant, thus the repetitive set ups for profit.

3. Wave theorists believe the market moves in distinct and predictable patterns based upon the actual chart formations. Whatever the reason, if a novice could learn just one of these consistently profitable trade set-ups, he could be quite adept at trading the markets.

German trader Karl Dittman has identified one of these patterns with great success and accuracy and has published his work and received a very receptive response, from experienced and inexperienced traders alike. His book, Stock Index Secret Trade would allow the greenest trader to be very profitable over a long period of time. The single trade he uses, is very easy to spot, often overlooked, and is consistent winner. Any novice would profit greatly using this simple but effective system

Bull Market? Bear Market Rally?

By , 14 October, 2009, No Comment

Well, we have crossed the 10,000 point level on the Dow and the pundits are filling the pages of blogs and business magazines with predictions of all sorts. The question they are asking is a simple one, really. In the absence of any earthshaking news about positive developments in the economy, “what has caused this unprecedented run up?”

A little change from emini contracts: Let’s look at oil

By , 23 July, 2009, No Comment

People don’t look much at supply and demand these days, and they talk about it even less, but it is good ol’ supply and demand that determines the price of all material in a capitalist society. Oil is no exception, and demand has been off for quite some time, hence, the unusually large amount of surplus in our current supply. To combat this, several oil company economists have issued a few reports that indicate the supply is not nearly as large as is being reported, but my gut instinct is to not trust oil company economists.
