After yesterday, you need this to survive the future

It is always interesting to live through history. However, I think many traders, or should say investors would probably like to forget about the history making market action on Thursday.

I just wanted to write a short post and show you where we stand with our "Trade Triangle" technology.

One of the advantages of using MarketClub's "Trade Triangles" is that you don't have to worry about the problems in Greece, nor do you have to worry about earnings reports, downgrades, supply and demand statistics, and all of the millions of other things that make up the price of a stock or a commodity.

An inescapable reality of the market, that effects all of us, is perception. This one characteristic can trump earnings reports, good news, and any other market changing force that comes out. For the last 12 months, the perception has been that things are getting better, and that pushed the market higher. Perception may have changed yesterday as investors are now once again beginning to worry about the euro, sovereign debt, and the value of paper currencies.

So here is how we stand in the major markets with our "Trade Triangle" technology: Continue reading "After yesterday, you need this to survive the future"

We pulled the trigger on the Dow

We pulled the trigger on the Dow

We have been concerned for some time that the market was in a rotational phase and that some key levels were being tested on the upside. The action today, Tuesday, can only be viewed one way, and that is negative. We do not expect this market to make a miraculous recovery to new highs and would not be surprised if we have seen the highs for the year.

In today's short video on the Dow, we look at potential downside targets that this market may be headed for. One of the key things to remember in trading, and this applies to all markets, is perception. This is why technical analysis plays such an important part in detecting shifts in market perceptions. Our "Trade Triangles" have done extraordinarily well in this environment.

The S&P 500 went south and we cashed in our chips

The S&P 500 went south and we cashed in our chips

Down  ChartFor some time now we have been concerned about the lack of upside momentum and the divergences that have been building in many key oscillators. We were also concerned that we'd reached a very important Fibonacci level which we pointed out in a recent video.

It never ceases to amaze me how these levels have worked both in the past and in the present. If you're serious about the markets, you must pay attention to these key levels as many professional traders do, and perhaps you will understand why.

In today's short video, we're looking at the S&P 500 and some of the downside targets we have scoped out using a very simple tool. We had a nice run on the upside based on our "Trade Triangle" technology and we are happy to cash in our chips and watch from the sidelines for the time being.

Penny stocks have long carried the mantra of the ugly step child when it comes to trading stocks on Wall Street, mostly because of the shenanigans prevalent in the OTC/BB market. However, traders that turn a blind eye towards small cap penny stocks are missing out on a great profit-generating sector of the market, a segment of the market that tends to outperform its large cap brethren in the early stages of an economic recovery, much like the one we are in the midst of right now.

Do you own a piece of the big Apple?

It's no secret around the Trader's Blog that we love Apple, but we can't help but wonder if our readers do too. Not only are we curious if you share our affinity for the stock with a fruit moniker, but we're also inviting you to join us on Facebook and win a chunk of the big Apple for yourself.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple sold it's one millionth iPad on Friday and we sent our own social media director, Susannah, down to the Apple store to get a piece of the action to give to one of our fans.

While you're here, let us know what you think of Apple, and then head over to Facebook to become a fan, and possibly a new iPad owner.
