Money Management Part 3 of 4

“Crucial but often overlooked, money management practices can mean the difference between winning and losing in the market.-Placing Stop Order- It’s helpful to think of these by their more formal name, stop-loss orders, because that is what they are designed to do – stop the loss of money. Stop orders are offsetting orders placed away from the market to liquidate losing positions before they become unsustainable.

Placing stop orders is more of an art than a science, but adhering to money management rules can optimize their effectiveness. Stops can be placed using a number of different approaches; by determining the exact dollar amount a trader wishes to risk on a single trade; as a percentage of total equity; or by applying technical indicators…”

What the Gold Super Cycle means for your pocketbook

Hello all MarketClub members,

This is Adam Hewison and I am happy to say that I am back from “down under”. I was visiting my daughter who just married a wonderful man from New Zealand and our family had a wonderful time celebrating the event.

Now that I have my market legs back and I’m in the right time zone, I wanted to create a video for you on gold. Before you get to that video you may want to watch this video that I recorded on 9/21 of last year. It proved to be very prophetic.

Is the Dow in Trouble?

Hello everyone this is Adam Hewison. I just got back from New Zealand and Australia and when I returned from “down under” and studied the charts this past weekend, I can see that the major indices have not fared well while I was away.

For some time now we’ve been very concerned that all the major indexes are in the “thin air” and have exceeded some key Fibonacci retracement levels. This new short video explores that and looks at a key Japanese candlestick formation that could really make a difference and be the first clue in the demise of the Dow.

I especially like the daily blogs that analyze markets that are about to move. Because of my success, two of my friends have already joined MarketClub. If your considering trading in any market i.e. equities, futures, indexes, currency etc., or learning about trading, I would strongly recommend joining MarketClub for the following reasons: the price is right; success will be easier to obtain; research time is reduced, and my experience with MarketClub has been positive, profitable and less stressful.

How Did the World Cup Portfolio Fare in Q4?

The last quarter of ’09 proved to be the sweetest quarter for the year for a World Cup Portfolio. For the quarter, we had a dollar return of $16,041.75 before commissions, which is approximately a 32% return on capital. The World Cup Portfolio (WCP) needs $50,000 to run and is based on double margins for every market. Double margins mean that by depositing twice the amount of money that is required by the exchanges, you are effectively de-leveraging the instrument you are trading. We consider this a more conservative approach to the commodity markets.

The Q4 results have proven to be very successful for MarketClub members using this strategy. With a 90% win rate, the World Cup Portfolio stands out as being an excellent investment vehicle over the long-term. It is interesting to note that the only market that has scored successfully in every quarter is the wheat market. The other five markets: corn, soybeans, crude oil, gold and the dollar index have all come in between the 80 and 90% range.
