Is the DOW getting ready to crater again?

Down ChartThe DOW has had a remarkable recovery from the lows that were seen in March of '09. The question now is, are we headed higher, or is the move over for now?

In this new short video, I will show you some important aspects that I think will warrant your attention. The video is three minutes long and was created on the last day of trading in April.

While we are not saying that the market is going to crater, it's in everyone's best interest to be aware of this one key level that we point out in the video.

Forex Fundamentals: The Other Side Of The Coin

Many of you know from reading the Trader's Blog that we often talk about, and advocate, technical trading. Today's guest blogger, Georgia Anderson of GAFNN.com, also looks at "the other side of the coin," fundamental analysis, but she uses it in a way that is almost technical.

In this post, Georgia is going to give us her perspective on forex and fundamental analysis by way of an input-output matrix.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical analysis or predicting the market by looking through the previous history a currency pair is a very useful and indispensable tool that every forex trader uses, however, fundamental analysis, like its name suggests, is more fundamental in nature, and tries to see what drives the forex market in the first place.

There are thousands of market drivers that move and influence the forex market and this fundamental data can be used in a very technical way. One way to take care of these is through the approach of an input-output matrix. This matrix contains information about the factor and its influence. In simple terms, the cause and effect due to one particular factor is captured as numbers in a matrix. By doing this for all the important factors, one can get an input-output matrix that well describes the future potential market movements.

Here's great news from a member...

"I've been a member for one year now. I just renewed for my second year. This site has been of great help to me in making investment decisions during this bear market. With the primary trend down, I've been largely in cash but have shorted markets at various points. During bear market rallies, I have done some quick trading to take advantage of shorter-term uptrends. The Trade Triangles have helped me stay on the right side of the trade.

I really like the new charting layout. Very clean charts and there are enough technical indicators to help me with my analysis of stocks or markets.

The new audio feature on the charts is great! I also enjoy the blogs and educational videos. I really like the commentary section for a quick update on the various markets. It helps me make shorter-term investing decisions.

The membership fee is usually covered with one or two successful swing trades. I encourage anyone who is thinking of becoming a member to put down your money on a great investment and great value." ~ John R., Minnesota

How to trade the euro, regardless of what happens to Greece

Things have been bad in Europe recently. Between the travel restrictions due to the volcano and ash, as well as Greece not wanting to conform to strict fiscal policies, problems are adding up and adding weight onto the euro.

It is interesting to note that in the beginning of 2010, everyone was bearish on the dollar. Looking at the market action alone we could see that the dollar has done very well vis-à-vis the euro. This is where technical analysis shines as it is an unbiased viewpoint of the collective wisdom of all market participants.

In this new video I show you how you can trade the euro/USD cross using our "Trade Triangle" technology and come out of winner no matter what happens to Greece, Portugal, or Spain.

Baseline for Active Investing

Today's author is Jackie Ann Patterson, the editor of BackTesting Report. Previously Jackie Ann showed us how to pick up on a potential trend change as well as how to recognize a mature trend using the MACD indicator. Today she has returned to the Trader's Blog to share a method for testing your trading strategy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the ways that traders use to determine the success of a potential strategy is to use a baseline. A baseline is a benchmark or a standard for comparison. For example, some investors will use the gain/loss of the S&P 500 as a baseline of market performance. That may be useful for investing long-term in large-caps, but less applicable to active investing and shorter-term trading. This article shows you a different method of forming baselines and the win rate results for two types of stock market participants. Continue reading "Baseline for Active Investing"
