Here's great news from a member...

"I've only been a member of MarketClub for a few short weeks, and I can tell already that it's going to pay dividends in my trading. My first trade alone came on futures for the US Dollar and it has already paid the membership price for one year. Though I'm glad to finally make consistent returns. I've always had trouble sticking with trades and following the trends, and the Trade Triangles from MarketClub help me to do just that; stick with winners, and cut losses short!  It's all about money management and taking out the emotions when it comes to trading. Furthermore, I enjoy using the Smart Scan technology where it quickly identifies trends that are already in place or about to start a new trend. It takes the leg work out at looking at every single chart, there by saving time and money. I can say I'm truly pleased with MarketClub and what it has to offer. I can tell right now, I'll be a member for years to come." ~ Jeremy N., Illinois

New Trend TV Video - Applications of Candlestick Charting

Many investors attempt to incorporate candlestick charting into their trading plans, however few know why this tool has become so popular.

http://broadcast.ino.com/redirect/?linkid=1196

In this complimentary video, "Advanced Applications of Candlestick Charting," authors, software programmers, and co-founders of the International Pacific Trading Company, Gary Wagner & Brad Matheny will walk you through:

-History of candlestick charting
-How to interpret candlesticks
-How to merge Eastern & Western technical analysis together
-How to merge candlestick charts with your current trading plan
-And more...

You'll watch and listen as Wagner explains the importance of using this strategy. He says, in part, "Candlestick patterns are a mathematical formula which illustrate the psychological market sentiment. In other words, as a market reverses, or a market is moving in an up-trend, there are certain traits that can be distilled in terms of mathematical formulas that will reveal some very important information."

This 100 minute complimentary video can be found on Trend TV. You don't have to worry about watching the whole video at once. After you have a password, you can revisit anytime to watch the rest of a video, review a video, or watch other videos on Trend TV.

"Japanese candlesticks, which have been enjoying the spotlight in recent years, are difficult to explain in oneCandlestick Chart broad brush. Candlesticks draw on the same open-high-low-close data as do bars. Here the length of the bar, or “candle,” is determined by the high and low, but the area between the open and close is considered the most important.This area, the “body” of the candle, is filled with blue (or white for most charting programs) for closes higher than open, and is filled with red (or black from most charting programs) for down days. The wicks above and below constitute the “shadow” of the candle, or high or low.

No pattern is 100% correct, but these formations are often time incorporated into many mechanical systems and can provide as great information source for the naked eye...."
