Using Real-time News to Profit in Today's Unreal Market Conditions

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Its no secret that here at MarketClub we are technical traders. We look to the charts to reveal setups and trends that we expect to act a certain way. Technical trading is not for everyone though, that's why we have invited our friends from Benzinga to tell you a bit about trading the news. Enjoy and be sure to visit the Pro's at Benzinga for more insight on trading news.

Every day, investors from all over the world discuss the prospect of trading on technicals or fundamentals. It is much less common, however, that investors discuss the idea of trading the news. But by doing so, it can provide them with an opportunity for quick intraday gains, as market-moving headlines can make a stock soar or send it plummeting to its death.

Without question, the key to successful headline trading is to receive the news in real-time before the stock has made its move. The news regarding M&As, FDA approvals, increased guidance, or new contracts frequently (and immediately) send shares higher the moment the news is released. On the other hand, key personnel resignations, secondary offerings, and disappointing economic data generally provide profitable short opportunities. The moves can vary anywhere from a few percent points to more than 50% gains or 50% reductions.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the key investing opportunities that can be brought on by breaking news: Continue reading "Using Real-time News to Profit in Today's Unreal Market Conditions" →

On the Trader's Blog you've heard us talk plenty about how to simplify your trading. As a matter of fact, you've heard Adam preach about keeping it simple over the years. Today we've asked Bill Poulos from Profit's Run to share with us how he keeps his trading method simple by using a simple indicator that we could all benefit from. To find out more about Bill Poulos visit his website here.

One of the problems that many traders run into is trying to find the perfect combination of indicators that will lead them to the perfect trading method.  Not only is this a problem for new traders but we find that many experienced traders continue to over complicate their charts with too many indicators.  They often think that the more indicators they can get on the chart the more successful they will be.     This is usually not the case and only leads to more confusion on the part of our entries. The concept of keeping things simple works especially well when applying it to our trading strategies.  The key for many trading methods is to simply know the trend of the pair and then know when to buy or sell that pair.
