Saturday Success Story - Jim, 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 have been very a satisfied member since day 1, and am particularly impressed with the array of market tools which are provided with the membership. Just one recent example of success using my favorite market tool was purchasing True Religion Apparel based on a buy monthly triangle signal. Within one week, the stock had increased 25%, resulting in over a $2,200 gain. This easily covered my yearly membership fee.

On another matter, I had a technical issue with accessing the new enhanced charting program, and your customer service was prompt and professional with providing a solution to my problem.

I hope to be with MarketClub for many years in the future." ~ Jim B., California

Characteristics of Successful Traders

Yesterday Norman brought us a guest blog post that I think most everyone that read it enjoyed (re-read here) and I've asked him back to teach us a little about the mental aspect of being a successful trader. We know it's more then just picking winners, but Norman also lays out 7 other crucial steps that you should follow. Also his 71 page ebook has been read by over 25,000 traders just like you, and you don't want to be the only one without his free teachings.

Many investors take actions that aren’t in their best self-interest. They make irrational trades; they trade based on emotion, rather than logic; they hold on to a losing position due to their unwillingness to admit they made a bad trade; they trade based on greed or panic… the list is endless.
Successful traders, on the other hand, all have a few things in common. Developing these characteristics and habits will help make you a successful trader.

Good Morning Trader's Blog readers!

Sentiment is emotion. In regards to how the entire investing public feels about the market can be measured in many ways and the market indices are good general objective measures of how investors and traders feel about the systematic risk in the markets.

Reverse Your Thinking and You'll See Markets More Clearly

Geoff Bysshe has been using volume analysis to find the best trading opportunities for 20 years. His experience as a floor trader, hedge fund manager, independent equity trader, and co-founder of MarketGauge, has taught him to make volume a focus in his trading.

I asked Geoff to put together a video presentation for us touching on what he calls “Volume Shortcuts” in which he demonstrates a whole new perspective on finding and defining trading opportunities. He explains…

Most traders look for price patterns to define trading opportunities. More experienced traders will add volume analysis to their patterns to enhance the quality of the trade set-up.

This process generally involves finding price action that meets certain criteria and then looking for the volume to “confirm” the price pattern. This is a time tested method of trading, but…

It is incredibly powerful to do the reverse – let volume patterns define your trading opportunities.

Watch this video to see what he means. It's 100% free and packs a TON of info into 13 minutes.

How to become a better trader

Imagine not having access to any financial news stories. The only information you have about the market is the market itself.

Would you be a better trader or a less successful trader?

I think you would be a better trader. I have often said that the market is the best news provider in the world. It's up the minute and it reflects both domestic and international issues. The success of our "Trade Triangle" technology is based upon market action.

In my new short video, I'll take a big look at the S&P 500 market and where I expect it will head in the months to come.

We all need to be prepared for what lies ahead, and this video is worth watching for that very reason.

There is no need to register for this video and you can watch it with my compliments. Enjoy and don't forget to leave your feedback as a comment on our blog.

All the best,
