I have been trading, and mentoring others how to make high probability, low risk stock and option trades for the past decade.  I have worked with over 20,000 students from Sidney Australia to Albany New York.  In that time I have worked with every system, indicator, and study you can think of and come to one conclusion – If you draw enough lines on a chart, your stock is bound to hit one of them eventually.  For me, trading is not about impressing others with fancy algorithms.  It is about Yogi-isms.

Yogi Berra was one of the most colorful figures in all of Baseball.  An amazing player, starting his carrier in 1946, he eventually was named the Manager of the Yankees, the Mets, the Yankees again, and then finished out his carrier with the Astros in 1992.  Yogi’s contribution to Americana actually goes far beyond the sports world.  He was also known for creatively phrasing some of the most obvious thoughts ever!

Many traders struggle with being decisive.  You know, pulling the trigger.  Why? Mostly because they are never sure about why they are doing what they are doing. The more a trader gets hooked by the “Trading Bug” the more information they feel like they need to consume.  Information overload can cause many traders to become paralyzed with uncertainty.  When it comes right down to it, a trader only needs to know two things – when to get in, and when to get out.

There are two parts to this established trading strategy. Continue reading "The Trend Trade & Breakout Strategy – Part 2" →

Hello traders I’m Alan Knuckman, Senior Market Strategist. I can be seen every week on financial television networks such as CNBC, Bloomberg, FOX Business and Reuters. I’m blogging today about my favorite trading strategy and my weekly trend breakouts for the week of November 7th.

With over 20 years plus experience in the markets, it has been proven to me that the real money is made on established trends.  Chasing turns and trying to pick tops or bottoms is extremely dangerous and only a gamble at best.  Financial success on the other hand is about repeatedly identifying high probability candidates and taking a chunk out of the proven market momentum.
