In Europe it’s getting personal…Weekend Update Video

October 22, 2011 By

Hello fellow traders everywhere. Adam Hewison here co-founder of MarketClub with your weekend update for the trading week ending on 10/21/11. This week we have two parts to our weekend update. Watch them both here.

Equities mixed as metals fade …

In Europe it’s getting personal.

A poll that we conducted on Friday shows that 75% of all traders are closely watching  events in Europe. Here’s the reason why.

Here we have Chancellor Merkel of Germany, telling Berlusconi the Prime Minister of Italy, who just happens to be a billionaire, a proud Italian male what to do. For sure there is no love lost between these two, but I’m not sure talking that way to an Italian billionaire, is going to result, in any kind of positive vote. That’s why, I have always thought that the European union between different sovereignties, with different values and social structures, was an accident just waiting to happen.

Daily rumors from Europe continue to weigh heavily on the markets around the world. Everyone’s euphoric one moment, thinking that a possible agreement is at hand only to find out hours later that everything is in complete disarray. It’s just a question of how many lifeboats are available,  when the boat sinks? [Read more...]

How To Avoid Slice-O-Matic Markets

October 21, 2011 By

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 21st of October.

As we are coming to the end of the trading week I want you to ask yourself this question: IS PERSONAL COACHING RIGHT FOR ME?

Watch my free personal invitation to you about one-on-one coaching:

How to avoid Slice-O-Matic markets

One of the biggest challenges many traders face is avoiding “Slice-O-Matic” markets. What is a “Slice-O-Matic” market? Well, it’s a market that lacks any real direction. We can call these markets “Slice-O-Matic” markets as they cut trader’s equity into ever smaller pieces.

For the past seven days, the S&P 500 has not closed in any one direction from more than one day. This is the choppy scenario that many traders would like to avoid.

So how is that done?

One of the simplest ways that I know is to use our Trade Triangle technology. The major Trade Triangle to watch trading stocks is the monthly Trade Triangle, as this determines the trend. We use the weekly Trade Triangles for timing purposes. Let me give you an example, if the last monthly Trade Triangle is green, this indicates the major trend is up for that stock. You would then use the initial monthly Trade Triangle as an entry point and the weekly red Trade Triangle as an exit point. You would only reenter a long position if and when a green weekly Trade Triangle reappeared, providing the monthly green Triangle is still in place. You would again use the next weekly red Trade Triangle as an exit point.

The reverse is true if a red monthly Trade Triangle shows that the trend is down. You would then use the weekly green Trade Triangles for covering short positions and the weekly red Trade Triangles for reentering short positions.

When you have two opposing Trade Triangles, like the red monthly Triangle and green weekly Triangle in the S&P 500, it indicates that you should be on the sidelines and in cash. You would be amazed at just how well this simple formula works in the stock market.

So there you have it, a simple, easy way to protect your equity and avoid Slice-O-Matic markets.

Now, let’s go to the 6 major markets we track every day and see how we can create and maintain your wealth in 2011. [Read more...]

Poll:All That Matters Is Europe

October 21, 2011 By

All that matters is Europe it seems. Even with 60% of companies reporting better than expected earnings, the markets have yet to pull out of a trading range. I’ve read and heard economists that once feared a recession changing their tune a bit, but yet the markets wait on Europe and a decision about the Euro debt crisis. We want to know….

Are you paying close attention to the situation in Europe?

Will Europe ever make up it’s mind?

The continuing back and forth squabbling going on in Europe continues to be a real problem for the markets.

The risk on, risk off trade is becoming a daily ritual for many traders. We want to refer to our long term Trade Triangles to continue to keep us on the right course.

If you didn’t have a chance to watch our MarketClub TV show last night, you may want to take some time and look at what we were saying and what the markets are doing today.

We want to be very watchful of the S&P 500 Index, as a move and close below the 1200 level should be viewed as topping action for this index.

It is all going to come down to tomorrow, and how we close in the markets. I believe that the politicians in Europe are really no different from the politicians on this side of the pond. They do not want to make a decision that would cost them their job. We have said from the beginning that we thought Europe was a disaster, as you have many different countries pulled together in alliance called the euro. Every country in Europe is going to hunker down in their own sovereignty.

Greece is going to default and probably fall into chaos. It is unavoidable at this stage of the game. Let’s hope things remain a little calmer here in the United States.

For the First Time Since 2002….

First time since 2002, and the last time since 1987.

For the first time since 2002, Apple missed its projected earnings. This came as a shock to many traders, as Apple has notoriously underplayed its estimates for earnings. So what does this all mean? Is the Android platform going to marginalize Apple, just like the Windows platform did to Apple in the 80s and 90s? That may be too complicated to answer for this blogger, but as always we will rely on Trade Triangle technology to get it right for us.

Many traders who were trading in 1987 can still remember the days between October 14th and October 19th, when major indices in the United States dropped 30 percent or more. Let’s hope we don’t see a replay of that today.

The major indices lack any real direction for the moment. However, there are a number of markets that look good to us. Tune in to MarketClub TV tonight at 5pm EDT and we will be uncovering some of these markets that have clear-cut trends both on the upside and the downside.

The problems in Greece continue to escalate with more violent behavior. We predict the protests in Greece are going to get a lot worse before they get better. The question now is, when will the “Occupy Wall Street” crowd turn to violence?

Is the Market A Buy or Short Sale?

Is the market a buy or short sale?

That’s the question that is going through many trader’s minds this week. Should I buy this market, or should I go short this market? At the moment, this market is being driven by perception and sentiment. Eventually that will change and the market will become driven by the direction of the major trend.

Our major trend indicators remain negative on the equity markets. We are also looking at the S&P 500 at the top of the Donchian trading channel. I believe that was the reason for yesterday’s sharp move down.

In order for this market to really get going on the upside it needs to clear the highs of 1230 on the S&P 500 in a convincing fashion.

There is so much confusion in the marketplace right now… Interest rates, mortgage foreclosures, contagion in Europe and the occupation of Wall Street. The markets always have numerous conflicting thoughts, but eventually the market figures it out and goes the way it wants to go. Our job here at MarketClub is to recognize those changes and alert you to what we are witnessing.

Was Last Week’s Market Rally a Head Fake?

Was last week’s market rally a head fake?

Last week, the equity markets rallied along with many other markets. We felt at the time this was a counter trend rally and with today’s action we have probably put in an interim top. We also expressed the feeling that professional traders would be selling against the recent highs around 1220 to 1230 basis the S&P 500 index.

The rally was pretty unusual in the fact that it was on very light volume and it took off to the upside very quickly without any kind of market consolidation.

This is going to be a big week! Are we going to continue going up? Or are we going to see the longer term downtrend kick in? A downside reversal could be quite dramatic. This also holds true for the crude oil market, which has been mirroring the US equity markets.

The problems in Europe remain and we see little reason to celebrate any victories on that front. Greece will eventually default, and it remains to be seen if Ireland, Spain and Italy will dodge a bullet.

Every week it seems we go from “the world is coming to an end” to euphoria. Eventually the markets will sort out this conundrum. Our view longer-term remains with our Trade Triangle technology which remains negative on the equity markets indicating long-term weakness.

This is going to be a BIG WEEK…Weekend Video Update

October 15, 2011 By

Hello fellow traders everywhere. Adam Hewison here co-founder of MarketClub with your weekend update for the trading week ending on 10/14/11.

The occupation of Wall Street continues, this rag tag movement has grown to include other cities and has now spread itself around the world. However, this unforeseen danger was not enough to dampen the spirits of Wall Street, as the equity markets put in one of their best weekly performances for the year.

So how can we best characterized last week’s trading. What stands out in my mind, it was one of the lowest volume weeks in the equity markets for the year. Having said that we saw the DOW move up 4.87%, the NASDAQ jump 7.58% and finally the S&P 500 gained 5.98%.

The clear leader was the NASDAQ which was led by big gains in the stock of Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG).

The metal markets also moved higher with gold up a positive 2.61%, and silver scratching out a modest gain of 1.03% for the week.

Last week the dollar took it on the chin, dropping 2.72%. The move reflected thoughts that Europe was finally getting its act together. Europe continues to be a big question mark in my mind. It remains to be seen, if this is just the opening act, or the final act.

Crude oil prices jumped 4.85%, which in turn pulled the Reuters/Jefferies CRB Commodity Index into positive territory with an impressive gain of 4.41% for the week.

The big news for this week at least on Monday, will be the earnings announcement from Citi (C)and Wells Fargo & Co (WFC). This could really set the trend for the financial markets for the rest of the week. Bank of America  (BAC) and Goldman Sachs (GS) report on Tuesday and Morgan Stanley (MS) is expected to give its quarterly report on Wednesday.

It’s going to be an interesting week. Oh, and let’s not forget that Apple (AAPL) reports quarterly earnings after the close on Tuesday.

So stay tuned.

Options – Learn The Greeks

October 15, 2011 By

As a special treat to Trader’s Blog readers, Ron Ianieri is offering you an in-depth look into the Greeks and Options Trading.

No matter what the investment, an investor needs to know and fully understand the potential risks of the investment prior to committing capital to that investment.

In the options market, the Greeks define and quantify the risks of your position before you commit to the investment. Understanding the Greeks is a must for proper risk management. Further, the Greeks can also help you identify and select not only the proper strategy to fit the opportunity you selected, but also which specific options to use to create that specific strategy.
