"To TRULY be a success at almost any profession takes commitment — the type of commitment which comes from the heart, not the mind. Most successful people I know have a dedication towards their chosen path which was forged through hunger. Hunger for knowledge, hunger for power, hunger for wealth, and, in many instances, the hunger associated with survival. It’s hard to be “rich” if you haven’t been “poor”; “happy” if you haven’t been “sad”; or “satisfied” if you haven’t been “hungry”.I believe Gann’s biggest secret consisted of hard work and common sense. Hard work follows a true commitment and a desire to learn. Common sense is sharpened by the process of learning from experience. In my opinion, THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR HARD WORK AND AN OPEN MIND.

Image Reactions Within A Downtrend

"Reversals In my opinion, one of the most misused and abused terms in technical analysis is the reversal or key reversal. I often get calls from both new and experienced traders who are excited about a market because it has just posted a “key reversal.” While the action these traders point to often marks a reversal day, such a day (week or month) by itself actually has little significance. There is research which indicates single period reversals mark a turn only about 50% of the time. Which gives about the same odds of indicating a turn using a coin flip..."

Has the S&P Index Topped Out for the Year?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

There is compelling evidence that we may have seen a top in the S&P index. In my new short video, I show you the evidence that I have found which may point to the fact that we are going to see a correction in this index.

While the S&P index needs to put in more work to create a major top, there are early signs that this may be happening. I think when you watch this video you will come to the same conclusion as I did in regards to this market.

As always our videos are free to view and require no registration. I would really like to hear back from you with your thoughts on this market. Please feel free to leave your comments on the blog.

Bottoming Behavior

"Markets which have been in a persistent downtrend often exhibit a common pattern as the end of the decline is approached. The pattern is to post a sharp rally followed by one final decline to new lows.

Sharp rallies formed recently in both pork bellies and gold. Following the rallies, both markets plummeted to new lows. However, once new lows were made, the declines stalled. The failure to sustain the break on the move to new lows indicated the selling was effectively exhausted and potential bottoms had formed. A similar pattern marked the low in soybeans prior to the 1983 bull market..."

10 Secrets To Success

Posted on by lindsay

Most days when I get into the office, I take 5-10 minutes to peruse some financial publications. It's not that I'm looking for stories so that I can trade the news, but instead I'm keeping an eye on anything that stands out as a good read.

Today when I was looking through Investor’s Business Daily, I came across "IBD's 10 Secrets to Success." These 10 secrets could be applied to your success as a trader, but more importantly they could be applied to ensure success in your personal life. I thought I would share these 10 tips with you as they made me stop and think about my own life.

1) How You Think Is Everything - Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment.

2) Decide Upon Your True Dreams & Goals - Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.

3) Take Action - Goals are nothing without action. Don't be afraid to get started. Just do it.

4) Never Stop Learning - Go back to school or read books. Get training and acquire skills.

5) Be Persistent & Work Hard - Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up.

6) Learn To Analyze Details - Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes.
