Attitude can either make or break you as a trader

Posted on by The INO.com Team

One of the most important tools that a trader possesses is his or her mind. Attitude can either make or break you as a trader.

To become a successful trader, it begins with believing in yourself and having a winning attitude. Everyone wants to be a winner, at least they think so. Unfortunately, most are not willing to perform the tasks necessary to become a consistent winner.

Winners generally achieve success by being focused on a goal. Being focused allows winners to remain committed to the tasks at hand. Most winners perform a lot of hard work, including a willingness to deal with sometimes mundane duties. Most of all, winners perform with an “I am responsible for both my failures and successes” attitude.

So, where does the would-be trader start to become a success? By focusing on the tasks at hand. Most of all, treat trading as a business. And, as in any business, money management is critical. Continue reading "Attitude can either make or break you as a trader" →

Weekly Futures Recap W/Mike Seery

Posted on by The INO.com Team

We’ve asked Michael Seery of SEERYFUTURES.COM to give our INO readers a weekly recap of the Futures market. He has been Senior Analyst for close to 15 years and has extensive knowledge of all of the commodity and option markets.

Michael frequently appears on multiple business networks including Bloomberg news, Fox Business, CNBC Worldwide, CNN Business, and Bloomberg TV. He is also a guest on First Business, which is a national and internationally syndicated business show.

Cotton Futures-- The cotton market continues its downward trend finishing lower for the 9th consecutive trading session in New York breaking major support at 78 currently trading at 76.65 trading below its 20 and 100 day moving average hitting a new 10 month low and in my opinion prices are possibly heading down the 70 in the next several weeks. The problem with cotton as with many of the soft commodities as there is very little demand at this time continuing to pressure prices & I recommended selling this market when it broke 82 and this has been successful trade at this point but remember to place your stop above the 10 day high in case the trend changes but I do believe prices are headed substantially lower as harvest is progressing on a daily basis bringing in more and more supply. The chart structure in cotton when prices broke out at 82 was outstanding risking around $1,200 at that time so I hope some people are listening out there and continue to stay short as prices are still expensive in my opinion. TREND: LOWER –CHART STRUCTURE: EXCELLENT Continue reading "Weekly Futures Recap W/Mike Seery" →

Will Amazon (AMZN) Make It To $400?

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 1st of November.

Last month was a great month for many investors, myself included, as all of my stocks moved in a favorable direction. I see little reason to change my analysis of the markets as I expect them to continue to move higher in November. This is partly due to the Fed continuing with its $85 billion a month bond buying binge. With Apple's iPad going on sale worldwide today, I see great sales coming for the retail sector as the public buys into the holiday season.

MarketClub's mid-day update for Friday, the 1st of November

One major concern on the horizon is the roll-out of the “Affordable Care Act” (Obamacare), which is going to have an effect on one sixth of the economy here in the United States. So far, the roll-out has been a big disappointment, as many people are seeing potential increases in their insurance rates with this new plan. If rates increase substantially, then that money will be coming out of the economy, which will not necessarily be a good thing. Continue reading "Will Amazon (AMZN) Make It To $400?" →
