"Saturday Seminars" - Advanced Fibonacci Applications and the Price Axis...

Posted on by lindsay

Advanced Fibonacci Applications and the Price Axis in the Forex, Stock Index, and Interest Rate Futures.

Joe’s techniques result in significantly higher percentages of winning trades through more accurate stop placement, market entry and profit objective location. Joe’s high-accuracy trading approach depends on the proper mix of both leading (Fibonacci) and lagging indicators.

You will learn where and how to apply Fibonacci analysis. This context determines the real bottom-line difference. Joe devotes a significant part of his lecture to trend analysis and directional techniques using variations of Stochastics, MACD and displaced moving averages. Technical analysis software packages can simulate all of these unique and specific variations through pre-programmed studies or by inserting the formulas Joe provides for you.

Joe will explain the three categories of a winning futures trading plan:

  • Management (Yourself & Your Capital)
  • A Competent Trend & Direction Analysis Tool
  • Proper Applications of Fibonacci Retracement & Objective Analysis

Joe DiNapoli is a veteran trader with over twenty-five years of solid market trading experience. He is also a dogged and thorough researcher, an internationally recognized lecturer, and a widely acclaimed author. Joe’s formal education was in electrical engineering and economics. He received his informal education in “the Bunker,” an aptly named trading room packed full of electronics and communications equipment. This is where most of Joe’s early research began. Joe is one of today’s most sought-after experts for his exhaustive investigations into displaced moving averages, his creation of the proprietary “Oscillator Predictor,” and in particular, his practical and unique method of applying Fibonacci ratios to the price axis. A registered CTA, Joe has taught his techniques in the major financial capitals of Europe and Asia, as well as in the United States. His articles have appeared in a wide variety of technical publications across the nation and worldwide. In 1996 alone, Joe taught capacity audiences in twenty-three financial centers around the globe. Joe was a contributing author to High Performance Futures Trading: Power Lessons From the Masters, selected 1990 book of the year by Super Trader’s Almanac. He also wrote the Fibonacci Money Management and Trend Analysis In-Home Trading Course, which has been lauded by professional and novice traders alike. Joe published his newest and most complete work, DiNapoli Levels, in 1997. The book has been hailed by Futures Truth as “one of the best new technical books to come along in a long time.” When Chuck LeBeau (Technical Traders Bulletin) asked his readers for names of successful traders they wanted to see interviewed, Joe DiNapoli’s name came up more often than any other. The Atlanta Constitution cited Joe’s work by referring to the “magical power” of Fibonacci ratios in the marketplace. Joe has often made use of this magic to make both startling and uncannily accurate market predictions, particularly in stock market indexes and interest rate futures. As the president of Coast Investment Software, Inc., located on Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida, Joe continues to develop and deploy “high accuracy” trading methods, using a combination of leading and lagging indicators in unique and innovative ways. He conducts a limited number of private tutorials each year at his trading room and he also makes his trading approach available to others via software and trading course materials.

Is GOLD the last store of value on the planet?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hi, Adam Hewison here. I've just finished a new movie on gold and I would like to share it with you. This new video shows what may happen to gold in the next one to three months. There's a lot of potential in this market, but there also is potential risk involved. The good news is that risk can be managed with stops and potential target zones can be measured through chart patterns.

I hope you enjoyed the video I made on 7/09/08 (well before today's big jump in gold) to illustrate that sometimes the markets tip you off to what they're going to do next.

With all the financial turmoil in today's troubled world, it seems like gold may be the only store of value that everyone's going to turn to in the very near future. Many of the European banks have not fessed up to all of their investing/trading problems and I expect that this could well be the other shoe that falls.

On 7/10/08, our "Trade Triangle" technology signaled a new buy for the spot gold market. Watch the video and I'll show you exactly how high we think this market could go in the future.

As always, we welcome your comments and thoughts on the markets.

Every success,

"Saturday Seminars" - Researching Your Trade

Posted on by lindsay

Various technical indicators my be used to complement and refine such strategies. One little-known but exceptionally useful technique is Howe's Limit Rule, applicable in especially volatile markets where there is so much opportunity - and risk.

Linda believes strongly in market tendency patterns and the predictability of price direction, though not magnitude. Prices tend to form a distinct three-day swing trading pattern, one which consistently repeats itself in tradable fashion.

Linda will discuss why this swing pattern sets up, how to recognize it, the tendencies of the underlying theories, and the philosophy behind trading it. She will then teach a sound method for trading this cyclic phenomenon, one which builds confidence to trade any market on any day.

Finally, Linda will illustrate how, based on these patterns, you can develop mechanical systems that are applicable to various length market periods. This presentation will give you a new perspective on price behavior and chart patterns.

The study of price behavior lends itself to various avenues of research. Can correlation studies project future price movement? What similarities exist in the price behavior of different markets, for instance, futures vs. equities? This workshop is intended to help the intelligent trader make good decisions.

Rashcke explores the importance of how to research your trades through...

  • Historical (Seasonal) Trading
  • Historical Correlation Studies
  • Researching Derivatives

Linda Raschke has been a full-time professional trader for over 20 years. She began her trading career on the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange and later moved to the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. Linda was written up in Jack Schwager's book, "The New Market Wizards" and in "Women of the Street" by Sue Herera. In 1995, she co-authored the best selling book "Street Smarts - High Probability Short Term Trading Strategies." Linda continues to trade every day.

"What is good for General Motors is good for America"

Posted on by The INO.com Team

"What is good for General Motors is good for America"

Back in 1955, Charlie Wilson, then chairman of General Motors Corp. made this somewhat pompous statement. Here we are, some 53 years later and look what is happening to the stock of General Motors (NYSE_GM). This stock is at a 53 year low and shows no signs of turning around.

So the question becomes, what happened to America and General Motors? How did this company lose its edge in the marketplace?

HOW DID GM GET IT SO WRONG?

Digging through the history of GM, I found one fascinating item. GM developed an electric car back in 1996 when gas was $1.28 a gallon! They named the battery powered car the EV1 and then basically scrapped it in 2002.

Today there is very little evidence that this car was ever in existence. I am sure you're thinking right about how we could sure use a car like that today with gas prices trading over $4.00 a gallon.

When you look at the stock of General Motors, you'll see that the high for the stock in the last eight years was around $68 in 2002. What's interesting is that high point in the stock was right around the time GM scrapped its EV1 car.

So what happened to GM's first electric car? GM claims there was not enough public demand. That could be, but I think the story is a lot more complicated than that.


You can see all the GM - Big Oil conspiracy theories in the movie

"Who Killed the Electric Car."

(Next Video)

WHY KILL THE GOLDEN GOOSE?

From a business standpoint, why would GM want to improve something that would kill the goose that lays the golden egg? General Motors tends to make most of its money on sales of replacement parts. Up to 40% of its profits come from selling replacement parts for existing GM automobiles, so why would they sabotage their own cash flow?

Unlike a gasoline driven car, which has many moving parts, an electrical car like the GM's EV1 has very few parts to go wrong, so therefore part sales and cash flow would go right into the tank for GM. The other perception problem GM has with an all electric car with zero emissions is this: if GM produces an all electric clean car with zero emissions, it's making an admission that all of their other cars are dirty, spew out harmful emissions and pollute the planet.

But look at how GM got it wrong. This may be one of the biggest blunders ever in American corporate history. GM took the lead in electric car technology (smart move), but was not convinced that they as a company could be profitable selling electric cars.

WHO OWNS THE MOST ADVANCE BATTERY TECHNOLOGY?

One fascinating piece of information is that GM acquired advanced battery technology from Ovonic's in the form of a NiMH battery. This battery produces a stronger, longer lasting charge, and was the ideal battery for their second generation of EV1 cars. What came out later was truly a shocker, GM sold this amazing battery technology along with the patent (dumb move) to Texaco who was later taken over by Chevron. Now Chevron owns the technology and the patent!

You have to ask yourself the question... why would an oil company be interested in purchasing advanced battery technology from a major car producer like GM?

I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

Fast forward to 2008 when everyone is mad as H#LL for having to pay over $4.00 for a gallon of gas. Back in 1996 when GM launched the EV1 with very little fanfare, the cost of gas was around $1.28 a gallon.

Why GM decided to scrap the EV1 and look for short-term profits in big cars as opposed to building and preparing to adopt a different business model is still a mystery and one that has decimated GM's stock price in the last five years.

The automobile business has not changed in almost a century and the industry appears reluctant to embrace change. It would now appear that GM's business model like many of its big cars is rapidly becoming outdated and destined for dinosaur land.

LET'S LOOK AT THE STOCK OF GM

Let's take a look at the GM stock chart and see how you would have fared had you purchased GM stock at $68 in 2003. Then let's look at the same stock using a MarketClub's proactive approach. As you can see the results of a buy and hold strategy have been a disaster losing 79% of its value for all share holders while the proactive results have been quite stellar.

If a major company like General Motors can fall to a 53 year low, so can any stock on the big board.

Readers of this blog know that MarketClub uses a proactive approach when taking positions in the marketplace. The world has changed, and it has changed not only for GM but for many other mature companies that are using business models and products that are rapidly becoming outdated and will prove to be noncompetitive in the long run.

I'll finish by saying: "What is good for America in the long run, are smart businesses that embrace change." Maybe General Motors will get it, maybe they won't. The market will decide that one.
