Get Hold of the ‘Trading Psycho’ In You

What's nice about the internet is that even buried under 3+ feet of snow we're able to communicate and educate! That's exactly what Todd Brown, from Triple Threat FX, is here to do today. The title says it all, so I'll leave you to enjoy the article, comment below, and invite you to watch a video from Todd here (just click play).

===================================================================

Of course we aren't psychos!  Nonetheless, I want to direct your attention to the most powerful technology for producing positive changes in your trading. What’s that? No, this is not a" whiz bang" indicator or new method. Each of us has this, but few invest the time or manage this properly. What is it?

It is our minds!

That 6 inch space that rests between our 2 ears that leads and directs our every action.  Everything you do in your trading every day starts as a thought!  And I’m here to tell you after working with traders for over 14 years, it is simply a game changer when managed properly.  Let’s look first at how we can optimize our minds through Trading State Management.

Is It Déjà Vu All Over Again for the Dow?

In today's short video we examine the crash of 1929 and the similarities to today's Dow. This video is not meant to scare anyone, but to educate investors and traders of the possibilities that may exist in today's market.

We could be, repeat, could be very close to a tipping point similar to that of 1930 when the Dow had ended a 50% correction to the upside. I invite you to watch my latest video and see what makes sense to you.

The 4 Cornerstones of ETF Options Trading

Today I'd like everyone to welcome Andrew Hart from ETFTradr.com. I asked Andrew to tackle ETF option's as these markets have been growing in popularity and complexity! Please enjoy the article, comment below with questions for Andrew, and visit ETFTradr.com.

==================================================================

Here's one for you new and intermediate options traders (though frankly, I think traders of all experience levels can benefit by getting back to basics). Want to know what I think are the four cornerstones of sound options investing? They aren't complicated, yet they seem to be elusive too much of the time. They are…

Snowmageddon, Part 2

UPDATE:

We're still snowed in. Well, I guess it would be snowed out of our offices. With the promise of another couple feet of snow and lots of packed snow and ice still on the roads, we would rather be safe than sorry when it comes to our staff.

Not to worry though, we've all been to the store to pick through the last few eggs and grab a stickerless, mystery gallon of milk at the grocery store with everyone else on the east coast.

We hope that anyone else who is bearing this storm along with us stays safe and warm and we hope to get back to normal as soon as possible!

Best wishes,
