Today's Video Update: It's The Weekend And We All Know What That Means

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 12th of July.

With record high closes in the DOW and the S&P 500 yesterday, this is not the time to be short the main indices going into this weekend. I will be using our 52-week high strategy to catch a quick move and you can see the rules on how to play in today's video.

The DOW triggered a Green Weekly Trade Triangle on 7/10/13 at 15,340.09 signaling a resumption of the uptrend.

The S&P 500 triggered a Green Weekly Trade Triangle on 7/10/13 at 1,654.19 signaling a resumption of the uptrend.

The NASDAQ triggered a Green Weekly Trade Triangle on 7/8/13 at 3,488.31 signaling a resumption of the uptrend.

On Monday, our weekly (intermediate trend) Trade Triangle kicked in and gave a resumption of trend buy signal for the NASDAQ index. The signal came in at 3,488.31 confirming that both the intermediate and longer-term trends are now in unison, signaling a move to the upside.

Gone Fishing

Posted on by The INO.com Team

I took a few days off over the 4th and drove up to my summer home in Maine. This trip was both to have a break and to see my children, my first grandchild and my New Zealand son-in-law, who was visiting here with my beautiful daughter. During my stay, I decided to charter a fishing boat and a fishing guide, to take the kids fishing to catch some "stripers" or "rockfish" as they are known in Maryland.

I put some time into finding a really good fishing guide, one with a proven track record. I found a great Captain who had the track record and the right credentials, so we booked a half day fishing trip. Now, we were all ready to have some fun and catch some fish. The next day we set out at 6am with high hopes of having fresh cooked "stripers" for dinner!

Sound like a classic fishing story, but after several hours of fishing and nary a bite, I started thinking that trading is a lot like fishing … there are no guarantees.

Before I lose you all at this point, let me explain what I mean by that statement. Just imagine that you have the best equipment and a top notch fishing guide, you know the fish are out there, but for some reason, that only a fish would know, they are just not biting. It gets to be a little frustrating. Continue reading "Gone Fishing" →

Today's Video Update: Clear Cut Trends Are Emerging

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 9th of July.

NASDAQ Flashes A Buy Signal
On Monday, our weekly (intermediate trend) Trade Triangle kicked in and gave a buy signal for the NASDAQ index. The signal came in at 3,488.31, confirming that both the intermediate and longer-term trends are now in unison signaling a move to the upside. The NASDAQ could be a precursor of trends to come on both the DOW and the S&P 500, only time will tell.

Crude Oil Takes A Breather
Do not be fooled by this momentary pause in the price of crude oil, with the trend clearly established to the upside, I am looking for new highs in this market. With a target zone of $110 per barrel for crude, I see no reason to abandon long positions and want to hold firm for longer term traders. A close in the August contract over $103.50 this week will represent a new high close and a continuation of the uptrend. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Clear Cut Trends Are Emerging" →

Today's Video Update: Stocks Rise Ahead of Earnings

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 8th of July.

Earlier today we posed the question, "Are the odds in your favor for a up market in July?" Well, it certainly seems so, given this mornings trading action, all the indices are on the plus side of the ledger so far for the month.

Today's Profit Taking In The Crude Oil Market Doesn't Change The Trend
Crude oil is seeing a little bit of profit-taking coming into the market after its recent sharp run up. I have an upside target zone of $110 level for crude and I expect the upward trend to continue for a while longer. Look for any pullbacks to present buying opportunities rather than a shorting opportunity. The trend is clearly established to the upside, so trade accordingly.
