12 Days Of Trading Tips - Education

With the holiday season upon us, I thought I would share my favorite trading tips with you over the next 12 trading days. I believe that as a trader, you should always be looking to improve your knowledge and trading skills. If you don't, you could get left behind or worse yet, make a huge financial mistake.
12 Days of Trading Tips Day 1

With that, let's start with the first tip: EDUCATION

Educate yourself about the nuances of trading. This is perhaps the most important element of trading and one that you can do for yourself and your loved ones. Educating yourself on how the markets work is like the gift that keeps on giving. There is no shortage of information and advice out there. Start reading and watching as much as you can from as many different sources as you can. It will pay off in the long run.

It was a little different when I started trading oh so many years ago.

When I arrived on the trading floor and went into the trading pits, it was somewhat intimidating. I mean, I was surrounded by some of the best traders in the world. I leaned on these guys in my early career and learned valuable lessons from them by asking questions, mimicking their styles and after a while I began to settle in and get my bearings. I learned some valuable lessons and most importantly I learned how the markets worked.

My advice, educate yourself. It's the easiest thing you can do.

The Battle Continues - Who Will Win?

Who will win the battle between the bulls and the bears that is raging in the equity markets?

Indices

This morning when woke up I did what I usually do - check the pre-market prices. I saw that all three indices were down over 1% for the day. It would appear that 1-2% swings are rapidly becoming the norm in the month of December.

I will be watching the RSI indicator closely today. If you are not familiar with this indicator we have a short video that explains how it works and how you can best benefit from it. I will also show you in today's video why I'm watching this indicator and where the trigger point will come in on the major indices. Continue reading "The Battle Continues - Who Will Win?"

A Santa Claus Rally Or Will The Grinch Steal December?

The massive equity market rally on Friday was driven by short covering and a jobs report that was more favorable than the market expected. This week is going to be a battleground between the bulls and the bears and is going to be a very important week, in my opinion. Are the markets going to continue last Friday's strengths or are we going to see a two-way trading market with a Grinch-like ending for December?

Since the beginning of December, I have been warning investors to be cautious as this month tends to be a difficult and volatile month because of the holidays. Not only do investors have the market to worry about, but also the threat of terrorism which I think is in the back of everyone's mind here and in Europe.

Traders and Trendlines: A Match Made In Opportunity Heaven

By Elliott Wave International
It's the start of the winter holidays -- which, if your family is anything like mine, is also the beginning of a long tradition of deeply regrettable line-crossing, i.e.:

  • Crossing that line into interrogating "new" dinner guests as to why they are still single
  • Crossing that line into inviting your recently divorced sister-in-law to "stay as long as" she needs
  • Crossing that line into a third (no, let's be honest) fourth helping of pecan pie

In these cases, crossing "the line" is the first step down a proverbial mine field of emotional and physical discomfort. And there's no going back!

But in the world of technical analysis of financial markets, crossing one kind of line is often the first step to identifying a high-confidence trade set-up. The line I'm talking about is the trendline. Continue reading "Traders and Trendlines: A Match Made In Opportunity Heaven"
