Bottoming Behavior

"Markets which have been in a persistent downtrend often exhibit a common pattern as the end of the decline is approached. The pattern is to post a sharp rally followed by one final decline to new lows.

Sharp rallies formed recently in both pork bellies and gold. Following the rallies, both markets plummeted to new lows. However, once new lows were made, the declines stalled. The failure to sustain the break on the move to new lows indicated the selling was effectively exhausted and potential bottoms had formed.

The Giant Flaw In Correlation Trading (UPDATE)

Last week Jason Fielder gave us some general insight on correlation trading, but today he pulls out ALL the stops and dives deep into a proven method for successful correlation trading!

I have some unfortunate news for you Trader's Blog readers, correlation trading does have one GIANT FLAW.

While correlations will tell you that a move is about to occur, correlation alone doesn’t tell you which pair is moving or the direction it will be moving in.

In other words, you know you need to put on a trade, but you don’t know which pair to trade or whether you need to buy or sell short. This massive limitation in correlation trading has stifled traders for years, which is why so few traders use correlations despite its obvious benefits.

Of the handful of traders who did trade with correlations, most just used it as a filter to increase the accuracy of an already-profitable system.

Well I for one wasn’t willing to stop there...

10 Secrets To Success

Most days when I get into the office, I take 5-10 minutes to peruse some financial publications. It's not that I'm looking for stories so that I can trade the news, but instead I'm keeping an eye on anything that stands out as a good read.

Today when I was looking through Investor’s Business Daily, I came across "IBD's 10 Secrets to Success." These 10 secrets could be applied to your success as a trader, but more importantly they could be applied to ensure success in your personal life. I thought I would share these 10 tips with you as they made me stop and think about my own life.

1) How You Think Is Everything - Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment.

2) Decide Upon Your True Dreams & Goals - Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.

3) Take Action - Goals are nothing without action. Don't be afraid to get started. Just do it.

4) Never Stop Learning - Go back to school or read books. Get training and acquire skills.

5) Be Persistent & Work Hard - Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up.

6) Learn To Analyze Details - Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes.
