Obey These 3 Option Trading Rules

Posted on by The INO.com Team

I've decided to invite AJ Brown, from TradingTrainerHomeStudy.com, as he was a great guest blogger and hit a very hot topic...options! You can read his last article on OTM, ITM, or ATM, which was a great success. I asked him back today because options are getting much more play in this economy and he has 3 great rules for trading options that he would like to share with you today. Comments are welcome and expected, and just as before, he will be responding to ALL comments!

==================================================================

The most difficult part of trading options (or anything else) is controlling your emotions so you can make smart trades.

There's always this tug-of-war. On the one hand you have logic and common sense. On the other, you have fear and greed. Problem is, fear and greed are too often the winners! (I know; I've been there.)

With that in mind, here are three option trading rules I suggest you obey to eliminate emotional decisions.

Rule #1: Be an End-of-Day Trader

Do some people make money day trading? Absolutely. But for most people I advise against it. Here's why...

Watching the market real-time can send your emotions soaring and diving like a roller coaster on a rickety track. Sure, it's thrilling. Sure, you'll experience something like a gambler's high. But it ain't going to do your trading account any favors.

This new/old technical tool can make you money (new video)

Posted on by The INO.com Team

This video is a little bit different from our previous videos in that we show you some of the new improvements we've just added to MarketClub.

I just got the word from my business partner Dave Maher, who is the technical part of the team that he had just upgraded the MarketClub charts. I was so excited at the improvements that I decided to rush over to our digital studios and create a new video. All credit goes to Dave and his team who did an outstanding job on this new MarketClub release.

One major improvement and one I believe you're going to really enjoy and profit from is a study called "Donchian Channels." This study is named after its inventor Richard Donchian who created this amazing technical juggernaut in the late 40s.

There are also a ton of other improvements like, cross hairs and a new 200 day moving average study which I think you'll enjoy. You might be surprised at how I use the 200 day moving average.

ETF Talk: Can Chile Spice Up Your Portfolio?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

As ETF's continue to gain traction I wanted to get someone who really knows the ETF's to give us a little "ETF Talk". That person is Doug Fabian, from FabiansSuccessfulInvesting.com. Please enjoy the article, check out Doug's ETF knowledge, and please comment below with your thoughts and opinions on ETF's!

===================================================================

While I still believe that we are in the midst of a bear market rally, there are plenty of ways to generate profits during this period of unprecedented market volatility. Despite the 33% rally in the S&P 500 since March 9, it is important to remember that the index is up only 0.6% YTD.
This paltry gain pales in comparison to the rallies in emerging markets. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM), which duplicates the performance of the stock markets of 26 different countries, is up 27% so far this year. If you typically invest in developed markets, you now may be tempted to buy an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that gives exposure to emerging markets.

It hasn't sunk in yet, and maybe it never will.

Posted on by The INO.com Team

It's not that often that we revisit previous posts but here is one that I wrote on October 23, 2008. It seems to me that seven months later not a lot has changed. I still think that we are  going to see some difficult times ahead. But not all is doom and gloom, there are always opportunities to make money in the market.

Anyway I thought you would find this post interesting and hopefully educational.
