Five Ways to Stay Focused In Scary Markets
In the fallout from the 2008 global financial crisis, there have been moments that have been driven by pure fear. These are the moments when it can be hard to maintain your composure and trade your plan. Unfortunately, these big days are the times when you need that composure the most. Here is a quick lesson in why it is important to keep focused in a scary market and how to achieve that focus.
Market Basics
First let us understand some market basics. Markets exist to facilitate trade. From moment to moment the market offers traders the opportunity to profit from price movement. It’s an environment where every trader has the freedom to create his own results, i.e. all the choices and the power to exercise those choices reside with the trader.
‘Scary’ implies fear, anxiety, or insecurity. [Read more...]

Bernanke Approval Rating
June 24, 2011 By
Bernanke gave his second speech last Wednesday voicing his pessimism regarding the state of the U.S. economy. After his speech, people were left with mixed emotions on whether there is any worth to his words and if he (and the FED) will ever make this attempted recovery successful. So we are taking our own approval rating…
Loading ...Traders Toolbox: Momentum Revisited…
June 20, 2011 By
MarketClub is known for our “Trade Triangle” technology. However, if you have used other technical analysis indicators previously, you can use a combination of the studies and other techniques in conjunction with the “Trade Triangles” to further confirm trends.
Momentum measures the change in a commodity’s price with time. M = Pc-Pn where M = momentum, Pc = current period’s price and Pn = price n periods ago.
The length of time used for the prior period is a matter of personal preference and time horizon of the trader. A narrow window of less than five periods back would be short-term in nature while six to nine periods would be considered intermediate; 10 or more would be a longer time perspective. [Read more...]

There’s an old concept in statistics and economic modeling known as parsimony—or, simply, less is more.
Economic models and analysis that rely on the consistent application of fewer indicators often yield better and clearer forecasts.
Unfortunately, most of today’s market “experts” have apparently never heard of that concept.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was famously fond of obscure economic statistics and data points. Economists in general love to underscore arguments with pet indicators or proprietary indexes. [Read more...]

Applying Technical Methods to Today’s Trading
June 11, 2011 By
Excerpt from John Murphy’s seminar, “Applying Technical Methods To Today’s Trading,” offered on INO TV Free…
—
“For those of you that trade the futures markets, there are a lot of other things outside the future markets
that you should be following. But, I guess my bigger message is… for those of you that aren’t in the futures markets, whether you trade them or not, the futures markets have a tremendous impact on what happens in the other markets.
I keep pointing out to the Wall Street crowd for example, that if you’re going to trade stocks, you have to know what’s happening in the futures markets, because they affect inflation, they affect interest rates, they affect stock groups, and they play a tremendously important part in the whole financial spectrum.”

In this seminar, Murphy shares his non-traditional methods for selecting markets to trade based around commodity trends and leading indicators. His intermarket analysis is put in action to show just how commodities can put a drag or a rocket under a stock.
Murphy is a former CNBC analyst, the principal of JJM Technical Advisors, and author of Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets (1986), Intermarket Analysis (1991), and The Visual Investor (1996)
