A Trading Tool That Never Goes Out Of Style

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere, today I want to share with you a trading tool that never goes out of style. I learned about the power of this trading tool a long time ago when I was a member of the exchange and trading in the pits of Chicago.

It was there amongst all the hustle and bustle, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the most successful traders in the world that I learned one of the most important tools in trading. I have never forgotten this tool and in fact, I still use this tool every day when I'm researching a potential trade.

As computers get more and more sophisticated and can spit out trading algorithms faster than you can blink an eye, this simple tool continues to stand alone as a universal market truth. Little did I realize that this simple tool would prove to be so valuable.

So let's get started with this same tool that I have been using now for the past 30 years. I will also share with you one of the core secrets that most traders miss when they use this powerful trading tool.

It's a short lesson that visually illustrates when and how you should use this successful trading tool.

Every success with MarketClub,

Is This Apple's Secret Or One Amazing Coincidence?

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere. Today, I am going to be looking at what could be an amazing coincidence in Apple. It could also be a profitable opportunity for alert traders. Before we get into that, I hope you all had a chance to look at yesterday's special post on gold. If you didn't, please check it out right here.

It is the last day of the trading week, with both the stock and bond markets closed tomorrow for Good Friday.

I want to lay out for you a potential trading scenario for Apple stock. To that end, I have shown on the below daily chart what I think is going to happen in the future.

In approximately 7 days from now, give or take a couple of days, Apple should offer an amazing buy opportunity if this scenario plays out like I think it will.

Apple Daily Chart

It appears after making a high, Apple sort of drifts back for the next 33 to 34 days before it once again has a sharp upward move. If that same scenario plays out this time, then somewhere between the 10th and 12th of April would be in ideal time to look at getting long stock in Apple. On April 10th, Apple is going to begin taking preorders for its new Apple Watch, coincidence maybe. I'm sure there will be legions of loyal Apple fans waiting and wanting the latest gadget from Apple. Continue reading "Is This Apple's Secret Or One Amazing Coincidence?"

My Secret Formula For Successful Gold Trading

The price of gold is now in its fourth year of a bear market. It is shocking to many gold bugs that gold, a metal revered since ancient times, could fall so dramatically from its all-time high of $1,920.56 on September 4th, of 2011. The precipitous drop of almost $800 in less than four years was more than most gold bugs could stand as stocks soared to new highs. Many threw in the towel when gold hit $1132.05 on November 7th and moved into stocks. This could prove to be a bad omen in the future. Since reaching a low on November 7th, gold has for the most part moved sideways with a slight upward bias.

You can clearly see on the chart that there is a big divergence that shows. When prices were making their lows, momentum was building for the market to bounce.

Now for the good news! Continue reading "My Secret Formula For Successful Gold Trading"

The Secrets Of A Dead Mathematician

Good day, let me begin by welcoming the hundreds of new members who have just joined MarketClub in the last few weeks. I welcome you and wish you every success with MarketClub.

Today I would like to share with you one of the many lessons that are available to you as a MarketClub member.

Technical analysis has been around for a long time. It has been said that Japanese rice traders kept hand charts over 200 years ago to track the price of rice. More recently in the 50's, technical analysis began to gain acceptance, and the 70's could be called the golden age of technical analysis. Technical analysis is now widely regarded as mainstream, no longer do traders and investors think of technical analysis as Ouija boards and funny-sounding chart formations. Technical analysis is a serious tool that you can use to make money.

Fundamentals are important, but technical analysis, in my humble opinion, is more important because it provides you with timing which I think you'll agree is everything in life.

I'm going to be looking at one of my favorite indicators that can help you enter or exit a market on favorable terms. This tool also works extremely well with the market-proven Trade Triangle technology.

Today's lesson is on the Fibonacci Sequence.

Leonardo Fibonacci was a mathematician born in 12th century Italy. His study of Fibonacci numbers (a sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of the two previous numbers) is often applied in technical analysis to find support and resistance in stock charts.

This timeless lesson I learned many years ago when I was a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange trading in pits. It is one tool that has stood the passage of time and one that I still use today.

How this amazing 12th century Italian mathematician figured this out is way beyond my pay scale, but I can say without hesitation that it works.

Watch the lesson here and then leave a comment.

How To Use Fibonacci Retracements

The principle behind a Fibonacci retracement is that after a stock moves upward or downward, the price will often retrace or correct some of this movement. Many technical analysts believe that the amount of retracement will often correspond to one of the Fibonacci levels. The five horizontal lines represent percentages of 100%, 62%, 50%, 38% and 0% (with 62 and 38 being Fibonacci numbers).

The Fibonacci sequence works on intraday charts, daily charts, weekly and monthly charts. I do not know why it works in the financial markets. Through all my reading and research, I've never found a reason other than it works in nature.

I'm going to show you just how easy it is to use Fibonacci in your own trading.

This is one lesson you do not want to miss, it will open your eyes as to how and why markets move. One of the many benefits of Fibonacci retracements is that it will allow you to enter a position with very little risk. That is a big plus in today’s markets.

So enjoy and learn from this valuable lesson and yes, take a look at some charts after watching the video and apply what you learned using MarketClub's Fibonacci tool.

By all means, please feel free to share your findings on the blog with your fellow members. You can leave your comments and findings just below this post.
