Who REALLY Pays When Trading Discipline is Broken?

Norman Hallet of  The Disciplined Trader has long been touting just that, discipline in trading. Today Norman shares an experience that I have a feeling many traders can relate to on many levels. Perhaps you've had a game plan, but panicked and couldn't stick to it when things were looking down, or maybe even up? Either way, I think you'll enjoy a peek into his mind and learn something from his perspective that you can apply to your own trading.

We hope you enjoy the article and if you have a moment, share your own experience in our comments section.

Dawn is just breaking and a few early birds are chirping their little heads off. I let the dogs out for some overnight relief and get the coffee started.

I walk past the TV-tempted to turn it on and see what new disaster or murder took place overnight - but stick to the plan.

I walk over to the small waterfall I had constructed in the breakfast room and turn the pump on and the soothing sound of water gently cascading over artificial falls fills the small room overlooking the garden. Continue reading "Who REALLY Pays When Trading Discipline is Broken?"

Saturday Success Story - Dan, California

At MarketClub, our mission is to help you become a better trader. Our passion is creating superior trading tools to help you achieve your goals—no matter which way the markets move—we promise objective and unbiased recommendations not available from brokers.

Here's great news from a member...

"I think MarketClub's services are outstanding. I trade equities, options, Forex and futures. Your trade triangle technology really helps identify the trends. When I see the monthly and weekly triangles in alignment and a high score (or low score if I want to short), I know the move should have legs and it normally does. I am really taking advantage of the Alerts. I have the strike price set for all my options and when I get the email saying the alert was triggered, I know it's time to manage the position. After viewing one of your recent videos, I've now set the Alerts to scan the monthly/weekly triangles on the equities I'm stalking (all I need now is for it to send a text message to my phone...hint, hint). I've really enjoyed Adam's "Traders Whiteboard" series. He obviously know what he's talking about. His trading tips - how to use trend lines, Fibonacci, Head and Shoulders patterns, etc. have really helped to make me a better trader. The daily email showing the Trend Analysis on my entire portfolio (12 Forex pairs, 50+ stocks & ETF's, 8 futures) is invaluable. MarketClub rocks." ~ Dan D., California

Is the NASDAQ repeating itself?

I just finished a short video in which I discovered an eerily similar pattern in the NASDAQ. If the pattern repeats then it certainly is going to be a rough third and fourth-quarter for most investors.

In this short three minute video I give you exact points and the formation that I've seen that could make a huge difference to most people's portfolios.

How A Japanese Chart Formation Could DOOM the DOW

"It's déjà vu all over again," is one of Yogi Berra's famous original quotes and the same can be said for the DOW right now.

The weekly chart on the DOW is flashing the same Japanese candlestick signal that it had earlier in April of this year. Back then, the DOW dropped from 11,200 to 9,700 in the space of just 10 weeks!

If nothing else, watch this video as this could be one of the most important weeks for the DOW and its future. The video runs three minutes.  You will find it both interesting and educational from both a Fibonacci and Japanese candlestick point of view.
