FIB TIPS AND OTHER HEAD TRIPS

As traders, we are quick to put on mental shackles. Bind ourselves to a way of thinking that lives somewhere between no-sense and nonsense. No trader makes it through unscathed. We all get a little taste of the snake oil in one form or another. However, if you are going to succeed in building your trading business, you must learn how to trade. Interestingly enough, the most powerful tools available in today’s hi-tech trading arena, in my opinion, aren’t the new ones; it’s the tools that are steeped in a rich history, the ancient of days.

In our previous article, Fibonacci Tips For E-mini Futures Trading, we covered the basics of Fibonacci Retracements in the context of an uptrend. In this article, we will use the same concept and approach, but we will simply apply them in the context of a down trend. This is a large part of why Day trading E-mini Futures is so attractive. Unlike investing in a company where you often wait weeks, months, or even years for the stock to appreciate, E-mini Futures’ profit opportunities are as readily available in a downtrend as they are in an uptrend.

Can a 12-year bull market continue in 2013?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 20th of November.

12 YEAR TREND

For the past 12 years, gold has been in an uptrend by closing higher every year. We have had pullbacks, but for the most part, if you had bought gold at the beginning of the year and held it to December 31st, you would have made money. The question is, can this powerful trend continue through to 2013? Predicting one year into the future is a tricky business for anyone and it is one that we do not engage in here at MarketClub. We prefer to rely on our tried, trusted, and market proven Trade Triangle Technology that has produced consistent results for the gold market over the years.

A move over the $1,738 level, basis spot gold, will indicate that all is not well fiscally in the world. Should this level be breached during this shortened trading week, you should buy gold to protect your purchasing power. This could be in the form of a futures contract, an ETF (GLD or IAU), or physical gold.

Stocks open lower; HP takes a big hit

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Stocks sank early Tuesday on Wall Street. Hewlett-Packard stock suffered a big decline after its executives said that a company HP bought for $10 billion last year lied about its finances.

The Dow Jones industrial average was down 54 points to 12,741 just after the opening bell. HP, one of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow, declined $1.87, or 14 percent, to $11.43.

Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman said that there were "serious accounting improprities, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations" at the company, Autonomy, which makes search engines. She stopped short of alleging fraud.

HP took an $8.8 billion charge in its latest quarter to bring the accounting value of Autonomy in line with its real value. Continue reading "Stocks open lower; HP takes a big hit" →
