What's ahead for the Dow and Nasdaq?

The Dow has managed to claw back 50% of the losses that occurred in 2007 and 2008. The question now is, what’s ahead?

In my new video I share with you some of the ideas that I’m looking at for this index. I believe we are at a very important crossroads and would not be surprised to see this market lose ground in the next 3 to 6 months. In the video I also show you exactly what I’m looking at that will confirm a major top for this index.

As always our videos are free to watch and there is no need to register.

Unlike the Dow and the S&P 500, the NASDAQ index has reached unsustainable levels. This is a dangerous area for this index to be in and we would not be surprised to see downward pressure coming into this market later this year or into 2010.

Is the S&P 500 Going Up or Down?

Really, no one can say what the S&P is going to do now or in the next coming weeks but what we do know is that it is setup for something to happen. Adam Hewison of Market Club has a new free video where he explains some of the technicals we are seeing now in the S&P from which we can decipher some key levels that if broken can decide the direction of the index.

From an educational side of things, there are some important things to notice in how Adam approached his analysis.

Firstly, using a daily chart of the S&P 500, Adam looks at the big picture going back a year or more.

Secondly, He looks at where price came from. In doing such, you identify key turning points, and support and resistance levels.

Thirdly, he uses fibonacci retracement. Now everyone dont draw fibs the same way but when it's obvious where the highs and lows are, rest assure everyone is thinking and seeing the same thing. Thus it becomes a "self fulfilling prophecy" and the levels seems to be good.

Fourthly, He uses a momentum indicator (MACD) and explains what he is seeing. He noted that the indicator has been losing momentum. History teaches us that price usually (not all the time) follow momentum.

Fifthly, He recognizes that price has been ranging or trading sideways for the past few weeks. It's always important to know if price is ranging or trending in order to determine the strategy you will use to trade the market.

So watch the video to get an in depth explanation of Adam's analysis.

“The Perfect Portfolio”

Is there such a thing as a perfect portfolio? Maybe or maybe not, but there are certain times, and this is one those times, that it is practically a no brainer in how to make money in the market. That is why we call this approach “The Perfect Portfolio”.

It doesn’t matter if you have $10,000 or $10,000,000. It’s all percentages and this approach has averaged 6% a month over the last 42 months in some of the toughest economic time on record.

http://www.ino.com/info/464/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=12

Right about now you might be saying to yourself, “Man this has got to be super risky and they must be swinging for the fences or using some highly speculative option plays, or worse yet, futures.” It is none of these. In fact, the approach downright conservative and in some cases only makes 1 trade a year. Now I understand that this is not going to make your broker happy, but whose money is it anyway?!

Okay, let’s get started. This is a two part video and I promise I will show you how these gains were generated and how you can easily replicate this approach. No one can guarantee 6 percent per month returns, but what I can guarantee is that this approach is proactive. There are very few trades and it works!

http://www.ino.com/info/464/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=12

You are going to be shocked and quite frankly disbelieving that anything this simple can work. Then you’ll say to yourself, “Hey, I can do that!”

MACD Strategy - Low Risk?

Here is a MACD strategy that is found on trading-naked.com. It's a simple strategy using a 30 weighted moving average (wma) or 20 exponential moving average (ema) along with MACD with settings (3,11 and baseline of 16). You trade in the direction of the moving average and the entries I believe can be low risk. To see the strategy go here:

Why weekly charts are so important in Forex trading

Today I’m going to be looking into why weekly charts are so important in the Forex market.

I will use the EUR/USD as the example and deeply investigate the buy signal we received on this cross on Monday, July 27th. Although it’s too early to tell if this signal will be profitable, it is certainly a signal you must take if you are a disciplined follower of MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology.

Technical Tips from Dan Gramza

Hello everyone, this is Dan Gramza and welcome to Gramza Market
Studies Technical Tip.

Well today we're going to be talking about selling rallies. Now what
does it mean when people say, "sell the rally" when you want to
get into a trade? Or they sell a pull back? Or you hear things like,
"The Trend Is Your Friend?"

Well we're going to explore this here in just a minute. I want to show
you the technique and I want to show you some examples of how
these markets behave in those settings.

I want to show you an example, but before I can talk to you too much
about this example I need to define a few things for you. First candles...
the approach that I use with Japanese candle charts, and that is what
you're looking at here, is not the standard approach. So from my
perspective,
I don't focus on patterns, I focus on behavior. If we see a green candle
that represents buying, that means that the closing price is higher than
the open. If you see a red box that represents selling it means that the
closing price is below that opening price. If you see a white line on top
that's called a shadow, I think that represents selling. If you see a
white
line on the bottom that represents buying. Now with that in mind, the
sizes
of the bodies and the shadows tell us about the degree of buying or
selling.

Now let's talk about this set-up here...

Low Risk Entries with MarketClub's Triangles?

In looking at strategies that give low risk entries and high rewards a question about MarketClubs's triangles came up. If following the basic use of the triangles would I be entering low risk trades? I would say the answer is yes. The simple basic use of the triangles is this: 1) the monthly triangles are your trend direction. 2) The weekly triangles are your timing for entries.
Look at the chart of RIMM below. On a weekly chart a monthly triangle occurred in July 2008 signaling a downtrend. Also, this is telling you that you are to only take shorts which are signaled by the down weekly triangles. Notice, a down weekly triangle occured in September 2008. You could have entered short at the close of that week or opening of the following week.
You could have placed your hard stop at the top of highest bar that occurred in August. If you noticed, that high point is the turning point or a swing high. Most times, the triangles are occuring at turning points. We don't expect the market to go back to the high or low of these points right away but if it does, then the triangles were wrong and we are stopped out with a small lost. If we are right, as in the case of RIMM, we have a nice profit. I think the triangles are a pretty cool tool especially if you trade direction options.

Using Volume with Support and Resistance

Buy near support, and sell near resistance. Sounds familiar. Buying near support or selling near resistance can offer some low risk entries when trading or investing. Adding volume to the mix can even be more helpful in making decisions. Here is a link to a pdf document titled "Price + Volume = Price Movement" by Tim Ord.

The Risk Factor

We here alot about managing risk, know your risk or have a good risk to reward ratio. I've been thinking about this and also thinking what really determines if a trader is successful or not. And you know what? It is that risk factor.

There are so many strategies out there, good and bad, but if risk is not controlled then you are setting up for failure and the strategy doesn't really matter. Why is managing risk so important? Let's look at a business. There is risk involved when you operate a business. For example, you buy materials to produce a product to sell. All your invested money, expenses, and work into that product is at risk. If no one buys the product you lose money and time you had invested. Yes, you still have the product but it's no good to you. You might have a sale and sell it cheap in order to attract buyers. You got rid of the product but took a lost at the same time. The big question after that is can you do it all over again? Can you still operate the business? Hopefully the answer is yes because although you took a lost, it was a small lost compared to what you would had made in profits. And because the lost was small you still have capital to make more products.

A successful trader is one that keeps his/her risk low and is able to stay in the trading business to trade for another day.
How do you determine your risk. Well, it is often recommend not to risk more than 2% of your total account value. So if your account is $5,000, you would only risk $100. In a sense you are saying you are willing to lose $100 for every trade or combination of trades.

In my demo futures account I've set the account value to $2000. I determined that I would only risk 1% of $2000 per trade which equates to $20. Easy math. If I trade the miniDow which 1 tick = $5, I would place my stop 4 ticks from entry (4 ticks = $20). If my risk/reward is 1:1 that is for every $20 at risk I make $20, and I made 4 trades in which 2 were losers, I would break even. If the my risk to reward ratio was 2:1, that is for every $20 at risk I make $40, and keeping the same 4 trades I would had come out with a profit of $40. The point is that I can still trade another day.

So, no matter the strategy please determine the maximum you are willing to lose on a trade. And let it be such that it doesn't break your bank if you were to lose often. Yes, your strategy is still important for you want a low risk/high reward strategy that even if your loses are small your wins are big. Amd the big wins would off set the loses. Please be warned that some strategies call for high risk low rewards. Such strategies would have to have more wins than losers in the long run. If they don't you will be out of business. I saw an automated forex strategy for Metatrader that has a 1:4 ratio. It made 20 pips a day but the stop was 80 pips away. You risked 4 for every 1 gained. NOT GOOD. The idea seemed good and it was giving good profits in backtest for certain periods but run it for other periods and it drained the bank. Please be careful. Another time I will stress the importance of a good strategy to suit your risk/reward ratio.

Happy Trading

100K+ profit, 2weeks No clue how: Keep a Journal

It's true. With an account starting with 100K (demo of course), trading currencies,
I doubled the account in 2 weeks. I was gunning for 1 million in the next 6 weeks.
I was determined to be number one and win the contest.
Unfortunately, my emotions got the best of me and I started to make stupid trades. I started losing. I started to make revenge trades trying to recoup losses. The account continued down. I went from 214K down to 12K in a few days. What went wrong?

You may think my emotions got the best of me but the real reason for failure is that I did not keep a journal in which, if reviewed, I would had known what was working and what wasn't. And based on what was working I could had modify my trading plan. And most important, I would have had a reference to go back to because when my emotions had kicked in I had forgot what I was doing right and for the life of me could not remember.

So part of your trading plan should be to keep a journal, and review it at the end of
each trading day. Below are two resources on trading journals.

VIDEO: How we analyze the Dollar Index

According to the dollar index (DX), which is a basket of currencies that track the dollar, it would appear as though the dollar is indeed going to be coming under more pressure. The dollar index is much like an index for stocks except in this case it is for currencies.

The U.S. Dollar Index consists of six foreign currencies:

1. Euro (EUR)
2. Yen (JPY)
3. Cable (GBP)
4. Loonie (CAD)
5. Krona (SEK)
6. Franc (CHF)

In my new short video on the dollar index, I will show you some previous successes that MarketClub has had. I will also cover an important signal we have just received, that in my opinion, will lead to further downside weakness in this index.

How to use intra-day charts to time low risk entry points

Intra-day charts can find low risk entry points in any market.

In this short video, I will show you how to use intra-day charts to time low-risk entry points in any market that has an established trend. In this example, I am looking at a 30-minute chart of July crude oil (CL.N09). With all of my indicators in a positive trend for crude oil, I am looking for low risk entry levels where we can add to, or institute new positions.

This video will demonstrate how to move into a market even if you have missed the initial buy/sell signal.

FOREX… is the British pound making a reversal?

Whether you’re a newbie or experienced trader, I believe you will benefit from this video. In the video we give you specific levels that I’m watching, and target levels that we expect the British Pound could achieve if it breaks over one key psychological level.

Low Risk Entries

Here is a good article on taking low risk entry trades.

http://www.tradingacademy.com/lessons/20090414/eminis_article.htm

In my opinion, this is what make you or break you as a trader or investor. Having low risk entries with high reward potential. This incorporates your entries, exits, money management, and psychology which are all equally important in my opinion. When you have a trading plan that allows for low risk/high reward trades you will make it. Losses will be small and rewards will be big.

Often we hear new traders are looking for the perfect strategy, and jumping from strategy to strategy when one fails them. I think there is nothing wrong with trying out different strategies because you gotta find what works for you, but not all strategies are good and not all give you low risk trades.

What is low risk entry? Majority of the time we hear that it's these swing points where price reversed when there were no more buyers or no more sellers. Or strong support and resistance levels that might or might not be swing points. And you can place your stop at a point near entry where you believe price will not return to. If it does then your lost is small. So how does this apply to breakouts, momentum trading, fib trading, VSA, cross overs, etc..? Well, the research continues.

Happy Trading

What now for the S&P?

New video: http://www.ino.com/info/327/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

The dramatic run up that we have seen in the S&P 500 may be coming to an end. The retracement back over the 840 level should provide sufficient resistance to reverse this market to the downside.

Now here is the caveat, our long-term indicator, the monthly “Trade Triangle” remains negative on this market. While the direction of our weekly timing “Trade Triangle” is on the sidelines and neutral. This has created a conflict, meaning that conservative traders should remain on the sidelines to protect capital.

I am looking for an area to once again get short this market and trade with the major trend in our favor.

My downside target zone is for an eventual move down to the 500 level. Only if we take out highs as I mention in the video, then this analysis will change.

I hope you enjoy this short video. I will cover two important elements in trading: the Elliott wave theory, and the other is the Fibonacci retracement levels that I like to watch and trade with.

Volume Spread Analysis Gaining Popularity

Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) is nothing new but it seems to be gaining popularity among traders. I'm hearing more and more about it. VSA, which was brought to us by Tom Williams, based on the work of Richard Wyckoff, is another way of analyzing the markets mainly using price and volume.
It is said that with VSA you can understand what the professional traders (the ones that move the markets) are doing or intend to do.
How does this help? Well, if you analyze that the professionals are buying or intend to buy then you would want to buy too and vice versa. It's an extra edge if you can trade with the professionals and not against them.

There are a lot of resources online about VSA but here are some note-worthy ones. Some are geared toward promoting software, etc but the free educational information they present are very helpful.

Video: USD/JPY, what does the chart show?

Video by INO.com.

I have to start out by stating that “I love the forex markets.”

But what’s this?
Here we are going to hell in a handbasket in the US, yet everybody wants to own dollars.
Go figure.

I have to say that the dollar may be the lesser of all evils in the financial world. Here’s what I mean by that statement: I heard that a Chinese businessman who lives in Hong Kong said that the stimulus plan would not work in China, simply because there is so much corruption.

I guess in the US we only have a few bad applies, while China it’s almost like they have orchards full of bad apples.

But I digress…

Let’s take a look at the US Dollar versus the Japanese Yen (USDJPY). A few weeks ago, I did a video outlining my predictions for this very cross.

http://www.ino.com/info/297/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

Well, after being stopped out of our first position for a small loss, we had another signal based on our daily “Trade Triangle” technology, which issued another entry signal at a very good level. The level is clearly indicated on the chart and you’ll see this level in my new video for this cross.

The video, as always, is free of charge and there’s no need to register. This is an educational trading video to show you one of the most important technical chart formations and how to incorporate our “Trade Triangle” technology to come up with big winners.

For as long as I’ve been in the investment game (over 3 decades), this simple formation continues to show itself year after year.

http://www.ino.com/info/297/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

Enjoy the video, and please feel free to make your comments known on our blog. Before I forget, here’s the link to the first video we did on the USD/YEN cross a few weeks ago.

Video: InformedTrades on Flags and Penants

Example: Second Trade on GBPUSD using Fibonacci

This trade was more based on that from the INO.com video,
http://www.ino.com/info/285/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3
along with some added rules. Keep in mind these setups work good when they work but don't work all the time.

1. I drew my fib retracement from point A to point B which is a larger swing than the first trade. We have a swing high at point A and a swing low at point B. I used the 50 SMA to help gauge where I would draw my line that is I looked for a swing high above the 50sma and a swing low below. I could have used any moving average to do that. Please note that Jeff Manson uses that technique to identify the swings and there is more to his trading rules which I am not using.
2. I waited to see if price will retrace to the 50% fib level and give signs that resistance is met there. It did. In fact the green bar with the wick on top indicated that there is selling pressure or resistance. This is my setup bar.
3. I placed a sell stop at the low of the previous green bar. The sell stop could had been at the low of the setup bar but I was chicken and wanted to be a little more conservative.
4. My stop was a little above the 50% level (about 20pips from entry) and my target was near the 161.8% level. The risk/reward ratio was way more than 3:1
5. Sell order triggered at 1.4358. I took first exit 10 pips away and moved stop to break even.
6. Price eventually reversed and I got stopped out at break even.

Overall that was two nice trades because they were executed as planned. What I've learnt from these two trades is WHEN FOLLOWING TRADING RULES BE PATIENT AND WAIT FOR THE SETUP.

Example: GBPUSD trade based on Fibonacci Retracement

After making two posts on Fibonacci trading rules,

http://www.ino.com/info/285/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

http://forex-strategies-revealed.com/fibonacci-system

I decided to place two Forex trades based on the setups and post them here. The time frame is 5 mins.




1. From point B price retraced to the 38.2% line and also touched the 5WMA. This was the setup bar.
2. I placed sell order when next bar closed below 5WMA with initial stop at 61.8% fib level. Target is the the 161.8% level.
3. Being this is a short time frame I like to take quick profits usually in the order of 10pips. So, the first exit was 10pips and the stop was moved to break even. They call that a "free trade" from there on.
4. The target was hit and the down move started to reverse.

"To be a successful trader you need consistant low risk/high reward trades with proper money management" ~ Nigel

Video: “Fundamentals vs Technicals”

Please let me know if you like these INO.com videos. I think they are cool.

http://www.ino.com/info/282/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

Every once in a while, I like to flip the TV channels and watch Jim Cramer on CNBC. It’s not that I think that Jim Cramer is a spectacular trader, I just think he is a talented and amusing guy. The last time I tuned on the tube, CNBC’s Jim Cramer was naming his top five picks to get you through these recessionary times.

So with pencil in hand, I quickly scribbled down his top five stock picks on a piece of paper and shoved it into my pocket. I actually forgot about Mr. Cramer’s picks until today when I found this crumpled piece of paper with my handwriting on it. This paper listed the five stocks that Mr. Cramer picked on the close of business on January 8.

So here are Mr Cramer’s top 5 picks and where they closed on 1/08/09:

Caterpillar: (NYSE_CAT) - Closed @ 44.08
Home Depot: (NYSE_HD) - Closed @ 24.38
Johnson and Johnson: (NYSE_JNJ ) - Closed @ 59.02
Hewlett - Packard Company: (NYSE_HPQ) - Closed @ 37.61
Verizon Communications: (NYSE_VZ) - Closed @ 32.42

So I decided to put MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology right next to Jim Cramer’s picks to compare how we both have done for the past few weeks. The one thing that struck me as odd with Mr. Cramer’s trading, is that he never seems to implement a stop loss technique. He talks about money management, but never about the use of stops. He just seems to let his positions run. For example, in the case of Caterpillar (NYSE_CAT), Mr Cramer’s first pick is down 25% from the date it was recommended. I don’t know about you, but a 25% loss in any market is enough to give me the heebie jeebies.

http://www.ino.com/info/282/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

Admittedly that’s extreme, but if your only looking for a 25% upmove and the stock is down 25% you really have to make 50% just to get back to even. It’s the type of trading I just don’t understand. I learned a long time ago that trying to pick bottoms and tops in the markets is a loser’s game and a futile exercise that can be very expensive.

So, if Mr. Cramer is long all the stocks listed above, what positions is MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology suggesting for those stocks … are we long or are we short? Well, it turns out we are short all of the above stocks and we see the trend in those stocks as still being negative.

So what’s an investor to do? You can be entertained by Jim Cramer or you can use the “Trade Triangles” to scientifically make money in the markets. The great thing about MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology is that there is no emotion in the signals, it is purely a mathematical algorithm that keeps you on the side with the better odds.

A systematic market proven program approach has flaws like anything else. However, if one follows an approach like this you will make money over time. It also allows you to sleep much better at night when using a systematic program to buy and sell stocks, futures, precious metals and the forex markets.

So while Mr. Cramer is enormously popular and entertaining, I’m not sure that I would want to put my money with this type of approach. I would much rather approach the market in a systematic, scientific way knowing that the odds are in my favor.
We will follow up on these trades when we receive a buy signal or an exit-short position signal and we’ll see exactly how our “Trade Triangle” technology is working vis-a-vis Mr. Cramer.

http://www.ino.com/info/282/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

Please feel free to make comments on this post and if Mr. Cramer decides to cover his positions and you hear about it first let us know and we will make any adjustments necessary. Thanks.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Every success in the markets,

Video: "The Lipstick Indicator"

New video from INO.com
http://www.ino.com/info/279/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

Ladies are putting down the lipstick and picking up the necessities.

US consumer have been used to spending hundreds on self-gratifying purchases; things that entertain us, make us look rich and make us attractive. However, the recession has emptied the movie theaters, the BMW dealerships and the cosmetic counters.

The things we once wanted are being put on the back burner to afford the things we really need. I learned how dire times really are when Elizabeth Arden (NASDAQ:RDEN) and Estee Lauder (NYSE:EL) came out with their sales and earnings forecast last Friday.

Take a look at this video of Estee Lauder and see where we got short this stock using our "Trade Triangle" technology. What's nice about this technology is that it can use previous market action to help you get in and ride the trend (to profit from news and earnings). How valuable would that type of information be to you?

Stock and Forex Strategies

I'm not a promoter of running after strategy after strategy but I do believe that you need to have a strategy that works with your Psyche. What works for one person might not work for another just because you just don't see it. And of course, risk management is equally important and your strategy is not complete without it.

So if you are looking for new strategies check out these links below on stock and forex trading strategies.

Proffit from prices - This one is more focused on price action and is really to promote the book but the free info I think is useful - http://www.profitfromprices.com/tradingStrategy.htm

For FOREX:

Video: Trade the market and not the economy

I know I post alot of videos from INO, and some are geared to win new customers, but I post them because the information are very useful even if you don't join them.
------------------------------------------------------------
Trade the market and not the economy.
http://www.ino.com/info/273/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

What do I mean when I say... trade the market and not the economy? It may sound like I'm saying to trade the same thing... but in many cases they're different. The difference is that the market is driven by fear and greed, while the economy is driven by fundamentals. Our "Trade Triangle" technology allows us to analyze the market... leaving the fundamentals and our own emotions at the door. Let's look at some of the major markets and see which direction the trend is headed.

* The equity markets are still in a negative trend.
* Crude oil is still in a negative trend.
* Gold is in an erratic upward trend.
* The dollar is also in an erratic upward trend.

All of these markets are still in entrenched trends and there is no reason to suggest that they will be reversing anytime soon.

I have just finished a short video on crude oil (NYMEX:CL). This market is making moves, which I will te! ll you all about using the "Trade Triangle" technology which I helped to create.

We recently received a trading signal in this market which I think is an important one. You will also get a chance to see several of the previous signals that were issued. The video is definitely worth watching for that benefit alone.

The silly season which we talked about in December is rapidly coming to a close. I would expect that the volume and liquidity will return to the markets by the 15th of January. So get ready... cause there is money to be made.

Enjoy the video and by all means, give us a call at 1-800-538-7424 if you have any questions about the video.

How to spot winning trades video

New video from INO. http://www.ino.com/info/269/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3
-----
How to connect the market dots in 2009.

One of the easiest ways to determine the trend in new year is to simply connect the dots. In this five minute video, I explain how you can connect the dots in any market to determine its trend. I will show you three examples of connecting the dots.

1. How to determine a downtrend.
2. How to determine an uptrend.
3. How to determine when a market is making a change of direction.

One of the key components I look for is how a market closes on a Friday or the last trading day of the week. This is when traders have to decide what they want to do with their positions. It also tells you with a high degree of probability which way the market is headed for the upcoming week. I learned this trading secret on the floor of the exchange in Chicago and it is one I would like to share with you today. I feel that this technique has a lot of validity, particularly in light of today's volatile markets.

Enjoy the video. http://www.ino.com/info/269/CD3393/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3
