After yesterday, you need this to survive the future

Posted on by The INO.com Team

It is always interesting to live through history. However, I think many traders, or should say investors would probably like to forget about the history making market action on Thursday.

I just wanted to write a short post and show you where we stand with our "Trade Triangle" technology.

One of the advantages of using MarketClub's "Trade Triangles" is that you don't have to worry about the problems in Greece, nor do you have to worry about earnings reports, downgrades, supply and demand statistics, and all of the millions of other things that make up the price of a stock or a commodity.

An inescapable reality of the market, that effects all of us, is perception. This one characteristic can trump earnings reports, good news, and any other market changing force that comes out. For the last 12 months, the perception has been that things are getting better, and that pushed the market higher. Perception may have changed yesterday as investors are now once again beginning to worry about the euro, sovereign debt, and the value of paper currencies.

So here is how we stand in the major markets with our "Trade Triangle" technology: Continue reading "After yesterday, you need this to survive the future" →

Penny stocks have long carried the mantra of the ugly step child when it comes to trading stocks on Wall Street, mostly because of the shenanigans prevalent in the OTC/BB market. However, traders that turn a blind eye towards small cap penny stocks are missing out on a great profit-generating sector of the market, a segment of the market that tends to outperform its large cap brethren in the early stages of an economic recovery, much like the one we are in the midst of right now.

Posted on by The INO.com Team

It's no secret around the Trader's Blog that we love Apple, but we can't help but wonder if our readers do too. Not only are we curious if you share our affinity for the stock with a fruit moniker, but we're also inviting you to join us on Facebook and win a chunk of the big Apple for yourself.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple sold it's one millionth iPad on Friday and we sent our own social media director, Susannah, down to the Apple store to get a piece of the action to give to one of our fans.

While you're here, let us know what you think of Apple, and then head over to Facebook to become a fan, and possibly a new iPad owner.

Forex Fundamentals: The Other Side Of The Coin

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Many of you know from reading the Trader's Blog that we often talk about, and advocate, technical trading. Today's guest blogger, Georgia Anderson of GAFNN.com, also looks at "the other side of the coin," fundamental analysis, but she uses it in a way that is almost technical.

In this post, Georgia is going to give us her perspective on forex and fundamental analysis by way of an input-output matrix.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical analysis or predicting the market by looking through the previous history a currency pair is a very useful and indispensable tool that every forex trader uses, however, fundamental analysis, like its name suggests, is more fundamental in nature, and tries to see what drives the forex market in the first place.

There are thousands of market drivers that move and influence the forex market and this fundamental data can be used in a very technical way. One way to take care of these is through the approach of an input-output matrix. This matrix contains information about the factor and its influence. In simple terms, the cause and effect due to one particular factor is captured as numbers in a matrix. By doing this for all the important factors, one can get an input-output matrix that well describes the future potential market movements.

How to trade the euro, regardless of what happens to Greece

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Things have been bad in Europe recently. Between the travel restrictions due to the volcano and ash, as well as Greece not wanting to conform to strict fiscal policies, problems are adding up and adding weight onto the euro.

It is interesting to note that in the beginning of 2010, everyone was bearish on the dollar. Looking at the market action alone we could see that the dollar has done very well vis-à-vis the euro. This is where technical analysis shines as it is an unbiased viewpoint of the collective wisdom of all market participants.

In this new video I show you how you can trade the euro/USD cross using our "Trade Triangle" technology and come out of winner no matter what happens to Greece, Portugal, or Spain.

As always you can watch our videos without registration and there are no fees involved.

Enjoy the video.
