Bulls or Bears - Who Will Win?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with your video update for Tuesday, the 11th of March.

The Dow Is Balanced

Looking at the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEX:DJI), you have half of the stocks in a bull trend and the other half in a bear trend, giving a very mixed picture and somewhat neutral look to the Dow 30. The question is, which side is going to win out, the bulls or the bears? As with any market, I will be watching the Trade Triangles for an indication of this index's next move.

Gold Adjusting To New Levels

After rallying over $150 from the lows that were seen in late December, the gold market has gone into a sideways pattern as it begins to readjust to its new trading levels of $1,320 to $1,360. At the moment, it would look like short-term traders should be out of this market and that long-term traders could hold on to long gold positions. I'm still see the Gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO) moving higher longer-term. Continue reading "Bulls or Bears - Who Will Win?" →

A Long-Term Strategy To Conquer The FX Market

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Here's a powerful, easy-to-use long-term trading strategy that you can use in the Forex market. This particular strategy employs the monthly Trade Triangles for both trend and timing. Unlike our short-term and intermediate-term FX strategies, the long-term approach uses a "stop and reverse" type method.

This particular strategy is far less active than both our short and intermediate-term FX strategies. This trading strategy is best suited for long-term investors who enjoy holding a position in the market for months at a time. Unlike the other strategies, this long-term strategy requires that you only enter your SAR order(s) on average once a month. This 5 minute video walks you through the actual trading signals of this strategy from 5/20/09. At the end of the video, you'll be able to see every trade and how each trade fared. Nothing has been left out, you'll see every profitable and losing trade over almost a 5 year period.

MarketClub's long-term FX strategy captures the large moves in the Forex markets in a way that is different from other trading approaches. Like any trading strategy, good money management and diversification reduces your risk and magnifies your opportunities. For any kind of trading you need to manage your losses and MarketClub's long-term FX trading strategy helps take care of that for you.

Ukraine or No Ukraine - Are Stocks At A Tipping Point?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with your video update for Wednesday, the 5th of March.

There's no question about it, Ukraine and Putin have been causing havoc in the world’s markets. While it's easy to get emotional and jump on one side of the market or the other because of the news, that really is no way to trade. The Trade Triangles are free of human emotion and tend to keep you in the big trends and alert you to new trends as they develop.

From an intellectual level, I don't think that Russia is finished with the Crimea or Ukraine. There's going to be a lot of diplomatic talk, but the bottom line is going to be what Putin wants, he is going to get, no matter what the cost. The Chinese have a saying, "May you live in interesting times" and certainly these are more than interesting times.

So what's ahead? It seems that we are almost at a tipping point in some markets and in other markets it would appear as though we are heading into a multi-year bull market. Gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO) I believe has made a major reversal and has embarked on a multi-year bull market. Continue reading "Ukraine or No Ukraine - Are Stocks At A Tipping Point?" →

A Short-Term Strategy To Conquer The FX Market

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Here's a short-term trading strategy that you can use in the Forex market. Before I get into the nuts and bolts of the trading system, here are some quick background notes on the Forex market.

Forex (FX) Background Notes

The foreign exchange market is the largest, most liquid financial market in the world. According to the Bank for International Settlements, the average daily turnover in the global Forex market is estimated at $3.98 trillion. Some trading firms specializing in foreign exchange put the average even higher, with daily turnover in excess of $4 trillion.

Why Forex Is Unique

#1. It is the largest asset class in the world, leading to high liquidity.

#2. It trades continuously 24 hours a day except weekends, i.e. trading from 22:00 GMT on Sunday (Sydney) until 22:00 GMT Friday (New York).

#3. Low margins compared with other markets like stocks or fixed income.

Check with your broker or an FX broker for margin requirements and commissions.

Not For Everyone

Now that you have some background on Forex trading, let's take a look at exactly how this short-term trading strategy works. I will be using MarketClub's Trade Triangle technology which is easy to use and follow. This particular strategy employs the weekly Trade Triangles for trend and the daily Trade Triangles for timing.

This particular strategy is best suited for individuals who like to be active in the market. The short-term strategy requires entering orders every few days. In this short 5 minute video I am going to have you follow along as I walk you through the actual trading signals of this strategy from the beginning of 2013. At the end of the video, you'll be able to see every trade and how each trade fared, nothing has been left out.

In trading there is no "Holy Grail," believe me, as everyone has been looking for one since trading first began. However, you don't need a "Holy Grail to trade Forex, you just need a trading system that has stood the test of time. For FX trading or any kind of trading you need to manage your losses and this short-term trading strategy takes care of that for you.

Now, let's take a look at the pros and cons of this particular trading strategy.

PROS:
• Easy to follow and implement.
• No grey areas, the program shows you with visual Triangles the market's short-term direction.
• This trading strategy is best suited for active investors who are comfortable being active in the market.

CONS:
• If you are comfortable trading short-term, there really are no drawbacks to this strategy.

Be sure to watch the video all the way through to the end, as I share with you some FX history that is pretty much unknown to the general Forex markets.

If you decide that this particular strategy is right for you, paper trade it for a while and get the feel of how it works.

Every success using this short-term FX trading strategy.

Has Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Run Out Of Gas?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with your video update for Wednesday, the 26th of February.

What's Next For The Stock Market?

Are the markets going to continue moving higher or reverse and retest their lows again? There seems to be a disconnect in the indices with new highs mainly on the NASDAQ, thanks to Tesla, Netflix and some other tech leaders. The S&P 500 seems to be lagging and the DOW is in a funk. Many professional traders will be looking for the tone of the market today, does it seem positive or negative? One of the tricks they will probably employ is to give the market a half hour or even an hour to set its trading range for the day. Should the market move below the low of the first 30 or 60 minutes of the day, then there's a pretty good chance that you could see further selling come into the market later on in the day. Conversely, should the market break over the high of the first 30 or 60 minutes of the day, look for upside momentum to continue. Let’s see how events play out.
