Big Advantages of Trading with the Wave Principle

What advantages does the Wave Principle offer to traders?

Here's one of the big advantages of using the Wave Principle when trading: you can increase your understanding of how current price action relates to the market's larger trend.

Other tools fall short in this regard. Several trend-following indicators such as oscillators and sentiment measures have their strong points, yet they generally fail to reveal the maturity of a trend. Moreover, these technical approaches to trading are not as useful in establishing price targets as the Wave Principle. Continue reading "Big Advantages of Trading with the Wave Principle"

Federal Reserve's statement Thursday

Below is the statement the Fed released Thursday after its policy meeting:

Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in August suggests that economic activity has continued to expand at a moderate pace in recent months.

Daily Video Update: Did Apple deliver and is the FED going to do it?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 13th of September.

Did Apple deliver? Is the glass half full or half empty? Now that the iPhone5 is out, the question becomes did Apple deliver a superior product and a new game changer for the industry? Only time and the market can answer those questions.

Apple and the German courts have all made their announcements this week. That info has been talked about and digested and is now off the table. The market is now waiting for the Fed, which will announce their decision and view on the economy at 12:30 today. The FED seems to have done a better job than Apple in keeping their cards close to their vest on this announcement.

The market is divided in terms of whether the FED is going to give us another QE3, an ongoing QE program, or do nothing. A small minority think there will be nothing announced today and the Fed will continue to watch their data for more signs of a recession.

We know what the charts are saying and prefer to go with that sentiment over all others.

Now, let's analyze the major markets and stocks on the move using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.
