The Option Premium Always Follows the Stock

a There has been a lot of interest in Options Trading again as new investors and traders have heard about Binary Options.  Unlike the high risk Binary Options, the traditional buy call or buy put simple option contract is regulated traded on US exchanges and is a low risk, low cost way to trade the stock market.To be successful at options trading, you need to learn how and why The Option Premium Always Follows the Stock.  The option contract price and the stock price are always linked and move in harmony.  When you understand the connection the option has to the stock, trading options becomes as easy and simple as buying a stock outright.  The difference is that the option contract is far less expensive, and often the risk of the option trade is much lower than the risk of the stock trade.What this means is there are two types of investors or traders who could use options trading instead of buying a stock directly.The investor or trader who has a small capital base.  When you have a small capital base which is less than $10,000.00, then you need to be particularly aware of risk, and be far more careful with your trading decisions and your choice of trading instruments.  A stock is a trading instrument, but so is a stock option. Using a stock option dramatically lowers your costs. For example, the stock below is trading at $73.63 and you think this is a good entry after a correction. You have only $4000.00 in your trading account so you can’t afford to buy even 100 shares because you would need $7363.00 to put on this trade.  Instead you can buy a call option at the money for only $1.43 per share for a total investment on 100 share contract of $143.00 at the money contract. This means you can trade this stock because the option contract is within your budget, and your risk is now only $143.00 rather than $3000.00 based on proper stop loss and buy entry prices.The investor or trader who has plenty of capital, but the proper stop loss placement is far too much risk.If you have plenty of capital to trade this stock, but when you study the actual entry price based on a professional bracketed order that protects from whipsaws and stocks that reverse suddenly, you find that the proper stop loss placement is far too much risk. You do not want to take this much risk but you really like the stock and are confident it is going to recover, and move back up based on strong indicators and strengthening fundamentals. To insure that the stock is going to continue to move up, that you are buying into strength, and are therefore avoiding the risk of a whipsaw the entry must be at $75.50 and the stop must be at $71.00. That is a 4.50 point risk or $4500.00 on your intended 1000 share purchase of this stock.Rather than buying the stock for $75.50 x 1000 = $75,500.00 which ties up a lot of capital that you have to trade and is a high risk trade, you could use an option to  leverage into the stock using an option you intend to exercise.  This means that for $1430.00 for 100 contracts, you have lowered your risk for this trade by $3070.00.  This is a huge difference in the risk of buying this stock. Exercising a stock option is as easy as buying a stock. When the stock moves up to your intended entry all you do is place an exercise order for your stock option, and immediately your broker will execute your option contract, pay for it out of your broker account and now you own this stock.  Your initial investment was low and your risk was lower, than if you had bought the stock outright.TechniTrader is the only company that teaches these techniques for trading options and exercising options.  When you use the stock chart to determine your entry, your stop loss, the risk of the trade, the potential profit of the trade, and the proper option chain it makes trading options simple, accurate, more profitable, and far less work than the out-of-date options strategies taught by other companies.  You do not need options indicators, you do not worry about implied volatility, or delta neutral. You don’t need to learn complicated, convoluted options strategies because The Option Premium Always Follows the Stock.All you need to do is to learn to read a stock chart, where to buy, how far the stock will move, where to place your stop loss, and the risk of trading the stock versus trading the option contract. You can trade options whether you have a small or large capital base and dramatically lower your risk of the trade.For additional information sign in to watch a free TechniTrader video titled “Options Essentials” at http://goo.gl/shPyCtMember of Market Technicians Association Master Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.

TechniTrader Weekly Stock Discussion: “Breakout Pattern Analysis”

aMetaStock® SPRS Series - Week 143 – November 1, 2013 - MetaStock Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills Series written by Martha Stokes CMTAmerican Express Company AXP is the example of a Breakout pattern.  AXP has been stuck in a 7 point sideways pattern for several months. It recently broke out to the upside as its earnings report was better than expected.  Several aspects of the sideways pattern indicated that this was a stronger sideways pattern with upside potential.There are many types of sideways price action and identifying each is critical for successful investing and trading. This was not a true Trading Range because it was less than 10 points from peak to trough.Trading Ranges also tend to have inconsistent highs and lows with plenty of inter range lower peaks or higher lows. This makes trading range bound stocks much more difficult than many people believe.When a sideways pattern is less than 10 points wide from peak to trough, attempting to trade the range with a SAR, Stochastic, or other Trading Range strategy is substantially more difficult.  This is due to far greater risk because of the constant whipsaw action, long wicks and tails, and the inconsistent highs and lows of the range.However when a pattern forms very consistent highs and lows, and maintains a stable level even when High Frequency Traders enter the stock periodically, then more is going on than is often evident on the surface.One market participant is capable of controlling price within a consistent high and low range.  Their buying patterns maintain price within a narrower range than a true Trading Range pattern.When studying AXP it is evident that Dark Pools were involved in maintaining the neat, concise appearance of this sideways pattern.  This pattern is called a Platform pattern because it is building a base upon which the stock can move upward, with stronger support beneath it when it does move up.It is common for a stock that compresses as AXP did, to have a breakaway gap form.  The breakaway gap leaps over prior highs, establishing a new higher high for the stock.  The significance of this move is not just that the company had good earnings but also that the giant funds believe this company is going to continue to have strong growth moving forward.Most of the time retail traders make the mistake of trying to swing trade these platforms with mediocre to terrible results. The Platform pattern is seldom recognized for what it is, and is often mistaken for a Trading Range or wider sideways pattern. Being able to recognize the consistent highs and lows of the sideways pattern, can be hugely beneficial as the breakouts occur without much warning.  During a Platform pattern Bollinger Bands may not compress, Stochastic may show a floating pattern or an extreme oversold pattern. So instead of holding the stock to reap the profits of the breakout, the trader exits just before the stock forms a breakaway gap.Chart analysis requires an understanding of not only price but also which indicators should be used for the current market conditions, trading conditions, and the chart candlestick patterns.  Most short term trading losses are due to the following: Not being aware of the current Market ConditionNot recognizing compression patterns within a sideways patternUsing the wrong trading style for the chart patternUsing the wrong trading strategyBy increasing your ability to read charts and by using proper indicators, trading styles, and strategies your profitability will increase significantly.  In addition trading will be easier and much more fun to do.Member of Market Technicians AssociationMaster Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Instructor and Developer of TechniTrader Stock Market CoursesThis Stock Discussion and Training Lesson is sponsored by TechniTrader.com©2013 Decisions Unlimited, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.TechniTrader is the Registered Trademark of Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Disclaimer: All statements, whether expressed verbally or in writing are the opinions of TechniTrader and its instructors or employees, and are not to be construed as anything more than an opinion.

TechniTrader Weekly Stock Discussion: “7 Things To Know About Trading IPO’s”

a MetaStock® SPRS Series - Week 144 – November 8, 2013 - MetaStock Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills Series written by Martha Stokes CMTThe Facebook IPO has left a nasty after taste for many retail investors and retail traders, who didn’t know what they needed to know about trading or investing in an IPO.Now with Twitter’s IPO the retail side of the market is shunning this debut.What makes a great IPO and what dooms other IPOs to failure?  Why is WAGE a spectacular IPO from 2012 which TechniTrader Students learned about even before it IPO’d?  Here are 7 things to know about trading or investing in an IPO, but no one ever tells you.Retail investors and retail traders are not the most important investors for a new IPO. Wealthy individuals are not the most important investors, nor are professional traders.  The Market Participant that truly matters in terms of the success of an IPO are the Giant and large Buy Side Institutions.To follow the Giant Buy Side institutions and to discover which IPO’s they are interested in, and which they are not buying is a simple matter of having the correct indicators that tell you when the Giants are buying. These indicators were written for our modern markets, whereas MACD, Stochastic, and other older indicators do not tell you this vital piece of information. The Institutional percentage ownership is important. Facebook had less than 2% institutional ownership in the first several months after it IPO’d, because the Giant funds shunned FB immediately and the collapse of the stock was due mostly to their lack of interest. A good IPO will have anywhere from 40-90% institutional ownership. This is because most smaller lot investors and smaller funds are afraid of investing in an IPO.  This is because they do not know what information is needed to make a proper assessment of a young firm, and they listen to gurus and recommendation services that are only trying to dump a lot of IPO stock quickly.Revenues and Income matter but a company can have a strong IPO even if it is not making a profit yet, IF it is showing that it can make a profit within a quarter or couple of quarters. Giant institutions are long term investors and they will buy into a young firm ahead of strong earnings reports. They can tell when a company has what it takes to succeed.  Find the Platforms.  Quiet accumulation is a very distinct pattern on charts. Candlesticks form in a blocky tight formation with consistent highs and lows. This is due to the specialized order that the Giant Funds use regularly on Dark Pools.  This specialized bracketed order is what keeps price in a Platform sideways pattern. This is a newer sideways pattern that first started showing up in charts less than a decade ago. It is a vital piece of chart analysis for retail investors and traders because it tells you if quiet accumulation is occurring.  Giant Buy Side institutions keep their investments very private and do not reveal their holdings until they are required to do so quarterly. Only on stock charts can you quickly see what they are buying ahead of the quarterly reports.Company management is important to a new firm. It doesn’t matter how big a company is but how well it is managed. Facebook had several issues including too many private investors, nearly 500.  Also there were too many private investors and insiders wanting to sell too early weakening the opinion of Facebook.  The CEO and Board of Directors can make or break an IPO.  It is not just the underwriter who must present the company.Shares offered at the Initial Public Offering. One of the biggest warning flags for Facebook was its enormous offering of shares.  It was far too huge an offering for a good, strong IPO. Most great IPOs that launch and run like LNKD, WAGE, and others had small outstanding shares. What this does is it creates a strong supply versus demand equation for the stock which keeps the stock moving upward.There are many simple ways to decide is an IPO is going to do well or not, but you won’t find this information in any commentary or guru recommendation.  Understanding the internal dynamics of the market is where the true information you need resides.For more information how to track the giant funds who use Dark Pools watch "Stock Indicators Online Training Video" at http://goo.gl/6NRQe9Member of Market Technicians AssociationMaster Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Instructor and Developer of TechniTrader Stock Market CoursesThis Stock Discussion and Training Lesson is sponsored by TechniTrader.com©2013 Decisions Unlimited, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.TechniTrader is the Registered Trademark of Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Disclaimer: All statements, whether expressed verbally or in writing are the opinions of TechniTrader and its instructors or employees, and are not to be construed as anything more than an opinion.

TechniTrader Weekly Discussion: “Market Voids - The Invisible Sink Holes for Retail Investors and Traders”

a MetaStock® SPRS Series  Week 146 – November 22, 2013 - MetaStock Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills Series  written by Martha Stokes, CMTMarket voids were once rare events, now are occurring more often as the use of Dark Pool  ATS platforms increase.  Market voids are when the most important and influential long term market participants stop buying stocks and sit on the sidelines.When this happens suddenly there is a massive void of buyers, who typically buy giant share lots of 100,000 – 500,000 at one time via Dark Pools.  The cessation of the giant and large funds buying is a buy side phenomenon that is not mirrored in bear markets.  It occurs in Bull Markets and is uniquely tied to speculative trading activity.The problem for most retail investors and traders is that this void occurs without warning and creates whipsaw action, gap downs, and slip-slide price action. Often these sink holes appear just after retail investors or retail traders have rushed in to buy a stock due to news or other good information about a company.Voids are a primary cause of losses for retail swing traders, day traders, and at times position traders.  Therefore understanding why they occur, how long the void can and will last, and how to recognize that a void is beginning, helps traders make better decisions to circumnavigate the sink hole before they are swept into it for a big loss trade.Unfortunately all Market Indicators such as High/Lows, Market Breadth, and Advance/Decline do not reveal market voids in advance. Rather these indicators all lag due to the outdated formulas that were written prior to the Dark Pool ATS platforms.The ideal way to discover potential market voids before they occur is to use a group of Scans to reveal the momentum bias and other factors.  Scans developed to expose market condition analysis is a leading indication of when a void is about to occur. This gives retail investors and traders a heads up that buying stocks will be a much higher risk during the void.In early November a void pattern appeared on the TechniTrader Market Condition Analysis Scans.  A few days later the S&P500 had a sudden down day, please see the chart below.  Nothing in the candlesticks specifically exposed that a big down day was coming.  Many retail traders were on a buying spree. Many retail investors were rushing to buy stocks as news spurred them back into the markets. The one down day caused many whipsaw trades.   The run down was not due to High Frequency Traders, market makers, or any of the commonly blamed factors it happened because those giant and large funds that are the largest buyers stopped buying for a few days.  Many new retail investors and retail traders feel that a charting program is an expense they do not need. Instead they opt for free charting services and online broker charts, which were never designed to be used as trading charting programs.By not having the proper tools, new retail investors and retail traders actually increase their risk of losing money. They pinch pennies and throw away dollars of profits, and have more losses because they are not using proper investing and trading tools.Scans that expose when a void is about to occur help protect your capital and profits.  To build scans that can do this requires the proper charting software tools. Otherwise you will find yourself suddenly in a sink hole, losing money rapidly and wondering why that great buy signal didn’t work.Member of Market Technicians AssociationMaster Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Instructor and Developer of TechniTrader® Stock Market CoursesThis Stock Discussion and Training Lesson is sponsored by TechniTrader.com©2013 Decisions Unlimited, Inc. dba TechniTrader.  All Rights Reserved.TechniTrader is the registered trademark of Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Disclaimer: All statements, whether expressed verbally or in writing are the opinions of TechniTrader and its instructors or employees, and are not to be construed as anything more than an opinion.

TechniTrader Weekly Stock Discussion: Linear Regression Lines

a In prior discussions TechniTrader Quiet Accumulation TTQA, TechniTrader Volume Accumulation TTVA, and TechniTrader Flow of Funds TTFF have been featured. Today the discussion is on Linear Regression Lines, a terrific Indicator that is seldom used. Next week the discussion will be on the best use of Relative Strength Index, Wilder's RSI.Looking at the Price chart window above for MCD, there are 2 blue Linear Regression Lines. As with all indicators that are single line indicators, combining two primaries or a subordinate indicator applied to the primary indicator, provides a superior analysis as well as speeding up the entire indicator analysis process.Linear Regression Lines do not average price. They are unlike Moving Averages which are a formula that adds up all of the data within a set time period and divides by the total of that day, for the simple moving average formula that creates the moving average line on the chart. The Linear Regression Lines are a straight line indicator.Moving Averages are the oldest of all of the stock indicators, and were used and are still used primarily to confirm that the trend is still intact, and were never designed to be leading indicators by themselves. Moving Averages are subordinate indicators, whether they are used with primary indicators or with candlesticks. Remember that candlesticks are an indicator for price.Linear Regression Lines are also a subordinate indicator but instead of smoothing price action, the Linear Regression Lines are a stark straight line from the current price back X number of days or periods of time, depending on what time frame you are using on your chart.The example above is for a daily chart. The Linear Regression Lines are set for an analysis of the intermediate term trend and the short term trend. This provides invaluable information for proper analysis of the trend.In the chart above, we can clearly and easily see that the intermediate term trend Linear Regression Line which is the longer of the two, is far beyond the peak of price on the chart in March when the downtrend started. What this warns is that this is heading toward a longer term trend for the downside action. The intermediate term downtrend has been underway for 7 months, which is getting close to the maximum normal length of an intermediate term correction of about 9 months average. If this were more than 12 months, then this would be a long term trend.The short term trend Linear Regression Line has tipped up with this recent bounce run. This means that the short term trend is patterning out the intermediate term downtrend extreme angles of descent, which slows the downtrend and lessons the speculative price impact on the trend. This regular interval of the short term trend moving in a contrarian action against the intermediate term trend, is what is sustaining the intermediate term downtrend. Without these occasional short term moves up, the intermediate term downtrend would be too steep to sustain and a V bottom would develop quickly. The short term trend is helping the downtrend continue. When the intermediate term Linear Regression Line starts to flatten and angle upward, then a bottom formation will have started. Linear Regression Lines are essential Indicators for Position and Swing Trading.

The Option Premium Always Follows the Stock

aThere has been a lot of interest in Options Trading again as new investors and traders have heard about Binary Options.  Unlike the high risk Binary Options, the traditional buy call or buy put simple option contract is regulated traded on US exchanges and is a low risk, low cost way to trade the stock market.To be successful at options trading, you need to learn how and why The Option Premium Always Follows the Stock.  The option contract price and the stock price are always linked and move in harmony.  When you understand the connection the option has to the stock, trading options becomes as easy and simple as buying a stock outright.  The difference is that the option contract is far less expensive, and often the risk of the option trade is much lower than the risk of the stock trade.What this means is there are two types of investors or traders who could use options trading instead of buying a stock directly.The investor or trader who has a small capital base.  When you have a small capital base which is less than $10,000.00, then you need to be particularly aware of risk, and be far more careful with your trading decisions and your choice of trading instruments.  A stock is a trading instrument, but so is a stock option. Using a stock option dramatically lowers your costs. For example, the stock below is trading at $73.63 and you think this is a good entry after a correction. You have only $4000.00 in your trading account so you can’t afford to buy even 100 shares because you would need $7363.00 to put on this trade.  Instead you can buy a call option at the money for only $1.43 per share for a total investment on 100 share contract of $143.00 at the money contract. This means you can trade this stock because the option contract is within your budget, and your risk is now only $143.00 rather than $3000.00 based on proper stop loss and buy entry prices.The investor or trader who has plenty of capital, but the proper stop loss placement is far too much risk.If you have plenty of capital to trade this stock, but when you study the actual entry price based on a professional bracketed order that protects from whipsaws and stocks that reverse suddenly, you find that the proper stop loss placement is far too much risk. You do not want to take this much risk but you really like the stock and are confident it is going to recover, and move back up based on strong indicators and strengthening fundamentals. To insure that the stock is going to continue to move up, that you are buying into strength, and are therefore avoiding the risk of a whipsaw the entry must be at $75.50 and the stop must be at $71.00. That is a 4.50 point risk or $4500.00 on your intended 1000 share purchase of this stock.Rather than buying the stock for $75.50 x 1000 = $75,500.00 which ties up a lot of capital that you have to trade and is a high risk trade, you could use an option to  leverage into the stock using an option you intend to exercise.  This means that for $1430.00 for 100 contracts, you have lowered your risk for this trade by $3070.00.  This is a huge difference in the risk of buying this stock. Exercising a stock option is as easy as buying a stock. When the stock moves up to your intended entry all you do is place an exercise order for your stock option, and immediately your broker will execute your option contract, pay for it out of your broker account and now you own this stock.  Your initial investment was low and your risk was lower, than if you had bought the stock outright.TechniTrader is the only company that teaches these techniques for trading options and exercising options.  When you use the stock chart to determine your entry, your stop loss, the risk of the trade, the potential profit of the trade, and the proper option chain it makes trading options simple, accurate, more profitable, and far less work than the out-of-date options strategies taught by other companies.  You do not need options indicators, you do not worry about implied volatility, or delta neutral. You don’t need to learn complicated, convoluted options strategies because The Option Premium Always Follows the Stock.All you need to do is to learn to read a stock chart, where to buy, how far the stock will move, where to place your stop loss, and the risk of trading the stock versus trading the option contract. You can trade options whether you have a small or large capital base and dramatically lower your risk of the trade.For additional information sign in to watch a free TechniTrader video titled “Options Essentials” at http://goo.gl/shPyCtMember of Market Technicians Association Master Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.

TechniTrader Weekly Stock Discussion: “Trading with Exchange Traded Funds ETFs”

a MetaStock® SPRS Series - Week 141 – October 18, 2013 - MetaStock Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills Series  written by Martha Stokes CMTNowadays, there are far more opportunities for making extra monthly trading in the stock market than ever before.  One hugely popular area is the Exchange Traded Funds ETFs.  This is a relatively new trading instrument that is a derivative. Just picking any ETF and trying to trade it is a great way to lose money. There are many different kinds of Exchange Traded Derivatives: ETFs are based upon an underlying group of stocks or group of funds that are held in a trust account long term.ETNs are based on different kinds of bonds or debt securities that are held in a trust account.ETCs can be either based on commodities futures contracts or currency contracts.Then there are the leveraged ETFs which are designed for very specific institutional needs that most retail traders do not understand. Any leveraged ETF is prone to sudden price shifts as these must be rebalanced from time to time to maintain the leverage aspect.The most popular and most commonly traded ETFs are also the oldest which are the SPY, DIA, and QQQ. These are based on a specific type of weighting formulation, and are often used for longer term investing. However there are also many different types of weighting used in different big index ETFs. Understanding which weighting is right for your trading or investing can make a substantial difference on your Return On Investment ROI.Learning to trade ETFs requires an understanding of the purpose, the type, and the issuer intent. It also requires learning whether it is suited for long term or short term trading, and whether it is leveraged or not.  In addition it is important to determine which market participants are using the ETF, their long term and short goals, and speculation.When an investor or trader takes the time to understand the controlling factors behind their action and how these derivatives are developed, created, and their purpose, it makes it far easier to choose the proper ones for your personal goals and trading parameters. Trading is not just about finding a stock or ETF to trade, it is also about understanding the market structure and market participant groups who are actively trading in that stock or ETF.By going beyond mere indicator or candlestick patterns, the retail investor or trader can dramatically improve their ROI and profitability regardless of their personal goals and trading preferences.  Always know what you are buying beyond mere chart patterns, otherwise you are trading blindly with a lack of knowledge that can cause substantial losses.For more information regarding investing and trading ETFs, sign in to consider taking the TechniTrader Online Course titled “(ETF) Exchange Traded Funds & Index Trading” at  http://goo.gl/kDy9lcMember of Market Technicians AssociationMaster Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Instructor and Developer of TechniTrader Stock Market Courses©copyright 2013 Decisions Unlimited, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.

TechniTrader Weekly Stock Discussion: “FDO Family Dollar Store Inc.”

a The huge advantages retail investors and traders have today that were unavailable a decade ago, are the new indicators that help track the Dark Pools and giant institutions who control over 80% of the market activity. Their investments in large caps ranges from 40-80%, and their investments in small caps can be as high as 99%.FDO currently has a 96.80% institutional ownership, which means that the mutual funds, pension funds, and sell side institutions own the majority of the outstanding shares of this stock. Their investing can be long term or it can be short term. Sell Side Institutions often buy stocks to hold in trusts for derivative instruments they create and issue such as ETFs.The advantage that retail investors and traders have nowadays, IF they learn to use modern indicators rather than outdated indicators such as MACD, Stochastic, and other old-style price indicators is the ability to see the technical patterns called negative divergences. A negative divergence occurs when a leading indicator moves in opposition to the price trend.This is an essential indicator created by TechniTrader to help students see negative divergences. This is vital information investors and traders need, because the most critical areas are tops and bottoms which can be difficult to see and consequently is where they lose money.Price indicators do not lead price because anytime you use a moving average based indicator, the price MUST move before the indicator can react and create the line direction. That means all indicators that are based on moving averages of price lag. Even an exponential moving average which places more importance on the current price over the older price, in the time set group of prices that are used in the moving average aka 10 days, 20 days still lags price. This has been a problem for decades that great indicator writers tried to eliminate.What has happened in recent years is a massive shift of how stocks are traded by the giant institutions. With this shift of market structure, the importance of volume indicators has escalated. Without the proper volume indicators, retail investors and traders are prone to chronic losses. This is due to the lagging qualities of price indicators.With volume indicators, especially indicators such as TechniTrader Volume Accumulation TTVA which is exposing large lot volume activity in relation to what price is doing, negative divergences are exposed early on before the stock collapses. This means that retail investors and traders can now see that the stock is at huge risk of a top or a correction, thus avoiding buying into a top.For additional information sign in to view a free webinar titled “Explorations: Beyond the Basics" at http://goo.gl/bhE7F3Trade wisely,Martha Stokes CMThttp://technitrader.comMember of Market Technicians AssociationMaster Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Instructor and Developer of TechniTrader Stock Market Courses ©copyright 2013 Decisions Unlimited, Inc.

Discusión de Stock semanal TechniTrader: análisis del patrón de desbloqueo.

MetaStock ® SPRS - semana 143 - 01 de noviembre de 2013 - espacio modelo MetaStock reconocimiento competencias serie escrita por Martha Stokes CMTAmerican Express Company AXP es un ejemplo de un conjunto de pequeños grupos.  AXP ha quedado estancada en un patrón en el lado de 7 puntos durante varios meses. Recientemente rompió al revés como su informe de ganancias fue mejor que el pronóstico.  Varios aspectos del patrón del lado indican que era de un patrón en el lado más fuertemente al alza potencial.Existen varios tipos de acción sobre el precio de lado y ID es fundamental para invertir con éxito y el comercio. No era un rango real de Trading, porque era menos de 10 puntos de pico a través.Líneas comerciales también tienden a tener altibajos incompatible con un montón de inter fila de las cumbres más bajas o más bajas. Esto hace comercio gama-limita mucho más difícil que mucha gente cree las existencias.Cuando un patrón en el lado es de menos de 10 puntos de Creta en huecos, tentando a intercambiar la gama con un SAR, estocástico u otra estrategia de Trading gama es mucho más difícil.  Esto es porque los filamentos de riesgo mucho más alto debido a la acción constante de Whipsaw, larga y acabar con las colas y la incompatible altas y bajas.Sin embargo cuando un patrón forman mínimo y máximo muy consistente y mantener un nivel estable, incluso cuando comerciantes alta frecuencia introduce el stock regularmente y más ocurre que a menudo es evidente en la superficie.Un participante del mercado es capaz de controles de precios en un rango constante de alta y baja.  Sus compra precios mantiene hábitos en un rango más estrecho que un verdadero modelo de Trading Range.Lorsque considerando AXP, es obvio que piscinas oscuras estaban involucrados en mantener el aspecto aseado, conciso de este modelo al lado.  Este modelo se llama un modelo de plataforma, porque está construyendo una base en el cual la población puede moverse hacia arriba, con un apoyo más importante debajo de él cuando se mueve a la parte superior. Es común para un stock que comprime como AXP ha hecho, para tener una forma de brecha secesionista.  La brecha cayó saltos en cumbres anteriores, estableciendo un nuevo récord senior para el stock.  La importancia de este enfoque no es sólo que la empresa tenía buenas ganancias, pero también que los fondos gigantes creen que esta empresa seguirá tienen un fuerte crecimiento, adelante.La mayoría de los comerciantes por menor tiempo hace el error de tratar de oscilación comercio estas plataformas con resultados pobres en terrible. El modelo de la plataforma es raramente reconocido por lo que es y a menudo se confunde con una gama de Trading o mayor en el lado del modelo. Ser capaz de reconocer los uniformes altos y la parte inferior del patrón en el lado, puede ser extremadamente beneficioso que las erupciones se producen sin mucho aviso.  Durante un modelo de plataforma que no se puede comprimir Bollinger, bandas estocásticas pueden mostrar un modelo flotante o una extrema sobrevendidas. Así que en lugar de mantener el stock para cosechar los beneficios de la fuga, el comerciante sale justo antes de que la acción constituye una brecha separatista. Tienes que saber no sólo el precio sino también qué indicadores deben utilizarse para las condiciones actuales del mercado, negociar las condiciones y los candelabros de la tabla de análisis gráfico.  Pérdidas comerciales de corto plazo son debido a lo siguiente: no es consciente del mercado actual ConditionNot reconociendo modelos de compresión en un patternUsing en el lado del mal estilo de negociación para mesa patternUsing el mal Alemaniaby comercio aumenta tu habilidad para leer cartas y utilizando indicadores apropiados, comerciales estilos y estrategias de su rentabilidad aumentará significativamente.  Además la negociación será más fácil y más divertido que hacer.Miembro de técnicos AssociationMaster evaluación técnica Analista mercado decisiones ilimitadas, Inc.Instructor y Desarrollador de TechniTrader bolsa CoursesThis Stock discusión y formación lección es patrocinado por TechniTrader.com © Decisiones 2013 Unlimited, Inc.  Todos los derechos Reserved.TechniTrader es una marca registrada de decisiones Unlimited, Inc..Descargo de responsabilidad: Todas las declaraciones, ya sea expresada oralmente o por escrito son las opiniones de los TechniTrader y sus profesores o empleados y no debe interpretarse como algo más que una opinión.

Tracking The Large Lot Institutions

a Martha Stokes CMT discusses how to Track Large Lot Institutions...TechniTrader® Stock Discussion for MetaStock® Users: "Tracking The Large Lot Institutions"MetaStock® SPRS Series - Week 135 – September 6, 2013 - MetaStock Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills Series written by Martha Stokes CMTMain challenges retail investors and traders face today, is figuring out when High Frequency Traders are going to suddenly appear and when Dark Pools are quietly buying or selling.There is a distinct pattern to tracking the Large Lot Institutions that repeats over time, and here it is step by step:Dark Pools are buying into a stock. Their “interest” in a stock is no longer seen on the market maker limit books prior to the execution of their trade.  These are giant investors buying for the long term, most of the time.Professional and Floor traders who are closer to the action of the Dark Pools jump in for short term trade action. Some are Intraday traders, while others are Swing traders.High Frequency Traders HFTs discover the Dark Pools either via a notification once the Dark Pools have bought what they want which is a news alert, viewing the transactions posted after clearing, or due to a ripple in volume.  The ripple in volume occurs when a Dark Pool order can’t be totally filled on the ATS platform, so some of that order is filled on the exchanges.Smaller funds chase the HFTs due to news, causing price to surge with emotional responses to the HFT action.Retail traders chase the smaller funds ending up getting into a stock, just as a whipsaw or reversal occurs due to sudden profit taking by the HFTs.This pattern of buying by these Large Lot Institutions is repeated over and over these days, often frustrating retail traders who unwittingly get in the way or buy unaware of who is controlling price at that time.The patterns are in the chart candlesticks, and every retail investor and trader needs to learn them.  Part of the pattern is in price, the other is in volume and in large lot versus small lot indicators. The first candle indicated by the red arrows is HFTs which is evident in price, volume, and TechniTrader Quiet Accumulation TTQA.The green vertical rectangle is Dark Pools and Pro Traders.  Dark Pools are accumulating, while Pro Trades are trading short term.  The small green horizontal rectangle is the high price range or top level price for the quiet accumulation buyers. They will not buy any higher than this which means Pro Traders are going to take profits.This brings the price down to the support low, which is the trigger level for more quiet accumulation. Meanwhile quiet accumulation is going on, while uninformed retail traders are trying to sell this stock short.  They struggle to push price down but due to lack of numbers, they are unable to control price.Then as quiet accumulation ceases HFTs gap down price at market open, then drive it down on an inconsequential retail news item, and quiet accumulation drives it right back up.But smaller funds chase HFTS trying to sell or sell short. It goes deeper this time as quiet accumulators wait, then start buying again. This is discovered by the HFTs which gap price up.Learning to read charts properly is not just using an indicator cross over or a candlestick pattern.  Relational Analysis must be applied to really understand who is in control of price. If you can recognize the Large Lot Institution group controlling price and you know which groups chase price, then you will have a much stronger understanding of what price is going to do near term. In addition recognizing the levels where quiet accumulation will trigger because these are automated orders, will help you avoid being on the wrong side of the trade.Being on the wrong side of the trade aka trading against the Large Lot Institutions is the main reason retail traders have so many losses.To learn more about High Frequency Traders, sign in to view our free webinar titled "Ride the Velocity Express of High Frequency Trading Action Using MetaStock" CLICK HERE or http://goo.gl/IMJlgFMember of Market Technicians AssociationMaster Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Instructor and Developer of TechniTrader® Stock Market CoursesThis Stock Discussion and Training Lesson is sponsored by TechniTrader.com©2013 Decisions Unlimited, Inc. dba TechniTrader® All Rights Reserved.Disclaimer: All statements, whether expressed verbally or in writing are the opinions of TechniTrader® and its instructors or employees, and are not to be construed as anything more than an opinion.

Esto puede causar comerciantes al detalle que funcionan después de las HFTs, las pérdidas.En lugar de HFTs Chase, comerciantes deben aprender a detectar la actividad de piscina oscuro que se forma en los fondos de los más fuertes.Esto se hace mucho más sencillo con una tranquila acumulación de TechniTrader, TTQA, que es un indicador de acumulación tranquila.  El gráfico anterior muestra una población atrapada en la formación de gama-limite los grifos que era incapaz de moverse hacia arriba después de varios intentos. HFTs intentó descender, pero inmediatamente rebotó hacia arriba debido a los compradores de piscina oscuro.  Las barras de volumen sigue encima de la media y el precio se mueve hacia arriba justo por debajo del nivel de resistencia previa, indicador que TTQA muestra la huella de la energía oscura Pools.Comme construye con Trader profesional y actividad piscina oscuro, acción pasa forma un edificio cerca del nivel de resistencia previa. Acción de precio ajustado es indicativa de una entrada muy controlada utilizada principalmente por piscinas oscuras y los comerciantes Pro.  Esto no es acción HFT, pero gigantes fondos comprar tranquilamente.  TTQA confirma la energía dinámica y precio acción continuada, descansando una vez más y luego más atrás.  El aumento constante de la TTQA es más confiable que el volumen para que barras permite para organizar su stock se mueve hacia arriba con la energía del pulso.Energía de pulso se refleja en primer lugar en la potencia dominante de las piscinas oscuras de la compra.

Slauson inclinado: monitor MetaStock septiembre - 13 de octubre

El artista muerto de hambreEnviado por John SlausonUno de los mayores retos en el desarrollo de un sistema comercial es ser específico en la definición de las reglas.  El análisis técnico es criticado con frecuencia debido a que muchos de sus miembros son tan ambiguos con su metodología.  De hecho es tan ambiguo que se convierte en imposible validar su 'sistema' usando cualquier apariencia de métodos científicos.  Es conveniente para el vendedor del sistema comercial, pero frustrante para el comerciante. Entre los técnicos, la gastada diciendo que "la tendencia es tu amiga" Desgraciadamente sólo es superado por ' el análisis técnico es un arte, no una ciencia. ''  Este último es un eufemismo para: ' tengo un sistema que funciona increíble... excepto cuando no. ''Algunos ejemplos de reglas comerciales ambiguas, que con frecuencia escucho:Se esperan que mueva ligeramente por encima de... la volatilidad puede aumentar un poco los precios... Coloque la parada sobre una reciente cumbre...Se esperan para cruzar por encima de la media móvil en alto volumen los precios...Los precios se invertirá aproximadamente al mismo nivel de precios varias veces...La tendencia debe ser fuertemente de levantamiento a corto plazo...La vela negra sea significativamente mayor que el anterior vela blanca...Para mover un análisis técnico del Reino del arte y en el campo de la ciencia, palabras ambiguas como ésos en negrita cursiva deben ser eliminados y reemplazados con los valores específicos y cuantificables.Todas las herramientas utilizadas por técnicos, soporte y resistencia es quizás el más difícil de cuantificar.  Pregunta 10 comerciantes para dibujar líneas de soporte y resistencia en la misma tabla y verá las líneas dibujadas en cada nivel de precios hace años, he desarrollado un método de notación para ayudar a los minoristas a cuantificar los niveles de soporte y resistencia.  Presenté este método en una conferencia auspiciada por la Universidad Golden Gate.  W.H.C. Bassetti, editor y coautor del libro clásico, tendencias de análisis técnico de acciones primero escrito por Robert D. Edwards y John Magee, en 1948 estaba presente.  Bassetti referenciado mi método de puntuación y el complemento que MetaStock basado en él (PowerStrike), en la novena edición de su libro.Les presento la metodología de medición de soporte y resistencia se basa en tres fenómeno en mercado de valores: 1. los seres humanos los seres humanos prefieren "fácil" números divisibles y memorables (e.g. "20" es preferible "19"). Estos valores son típicos del precio optionstrike. Por lo tanto, muchos comerciantes losnúmeros ofrece el potencial para más "concentran" 2. Las acciones están fuertemente influenciadas por comercio cerca de opciones de niveles de strikeprice. Por lo tanto, la influencia de estos niveles considerablemente producen un 'importante' compra y venta. Reemplazando el apoyo y la resistencia en el concentrado de compra y venta. Los niveles de la opción StrikePrice atraen más atención a marketparticipants importante en otros professionnel.3 el precio. Toro y soportar las presiones en el levelsresolve opción Strike precios más rápido que las presiones en otros niveles.Con estos principios en mente, he desarrollado una herramienta que ha marcado la fuerza de soporte y resistencia en las acciones de American optionable.  En el corazón del método de puntuación gira alrededor de tres barra de pivote del alto y tres barras bajas del pivote.  Un valor de 1, 3 o 5 puntos se asigna a un pivote hacia arriba o abajo dado el volumen asociado con barras de 1 y 3 del modelo.       Para ser tomado en cuenta en el pivote NOTA máximos o mínimos tiene para formar a una distancia especificada (de grupos específicos de volatilidad) de un precio de ejercicio de opción de llamada.  Para un total de estos valores proporciona un marcador específico para el nivel de soporte o resistencia a medir.  La puntuación puede entonces fácilmente utilizar de forma independiente o incorporada en un amplio conjunto de normas comerciales.  Incluso puede ser backtested, una importante prueba de fuego para un método válido de comercio.La siguiente tabla de Costco ilustra este sistema de calificación.  Pivotes Senior que se produjeron cerca al precio de 120 año ascendieron a 14.  Pivote cerca al precio de 110 bajo ejercicio ascendió a 30.  "Near" se define como máximos de pivote y bajas que se forman dentro de las bandas de volatilidad dibujado en cada nivel.  Entonces podemos decir objetivamente que el apoyo a $110 es más fuerte que la resistencia a $120.Mi punto en la presentación de este método de puntuación no debe vender en este método específico de identificar soportes y resistencias; Es simplemente para ilustrar que es posible tomar la ambigüedad y el 'Arte' de análisis técnico, incluso algo tan subjetivo y al parecer inexacto como soporte y resistencia.  Para hacer esto y puede evitar convertirse en un "artista muerto de hambre".

aMetaStock® SPRS Series - Week 142 – October 25, 2013 - MetaStock Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills Series written by Martha Stokes CMTSwing Trading is a very popular short term trading style used by retail traders and professional traders.It is far superior to Day Trading in every way, and here are 5 reasons why:Lower costs to set up and maintain your trading system and platform.Lower capital and experience requirements from online brokers.Less time needed to make significantly higher profits per month.Flexible work hours and less effort to manage open held stocks.Less stress and much more fun to do.Swing trading depends primarily on the analysis of the stock chart, and recognizing specific candlestick patterns that indicate a momentum or velocity price action is about to start.   In order to be highly successful at Swing Trading, you need to find the right price candlestick patterns on your stock charts that will be ideal Swing Trades.  Just picking any old stock, a recommended stock, or a stock in the news is NOT going to be the best method for choosing a Swing Trade stock pick.Here are 5 Tips on how to read a stock chart and decide if it is suitable for Swing Trading:REPETIVE CANDLESTICK PATTERNS that yield consistent Swing Trading runs that are profitable.  When you find a chart with candlestick patterns that repeat regularly, this gives you a means of anticipating AND recognizing a similar setup for the next Entry before the Swing Trade run begins.PRICE LEVELS are most important for Swing Traders.  Sure, any price level can have a momentum or velocity run, but for Swing Trading it is also about being in with the professional Swing Traders that track the Dark Pool giant lot funds managers.  By trading with the pros you have a significantly better profitability ratio and far more consistent runs. Lower priced stocks are generally the realm of smaller lot uninformed traders.  Extremely high priced stocks are the realm of retail day traders or options traders.FOLLOW THE GIANT FUNDS MONEY PLACEMENT. The giant Buy Side funds control trillions of dollars of mutual fund and pension fund investors.  The stocks they are buying are strong candidates for Swing Trading because these stocks have companies with improving fundamentals or expanding growth potential, or both.  By tracking the giant funds via TechniTrader Quiet Accumulation TTQA Indicator as example, retail traders know that this company has stronger fundamentals and is poised for growth.  A company that is growing will  have periodic momentum and velocity moves due to surprise Earnings, sudden great news, and High Frequency Trader HFT triggered buying activity.KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between a Momentum run and a Velocity run.  The Velocity run is faster moving, gaining more volume energy and buying speculation. This type of run requires a completely different trailing Profit Stop position to keep you in the stock while protecting profits, from the inevitable profit taking the professional traders will begin at some point. A Momentum run will last much longer but has rests frequently. The Stop Loss for a Momentum run needs to allow for the natural pausing, resting, and small indecisive price action days to keep you in the trade until the Momentum energy is exhausting.ENTRIES AND EXITS for Swing Trading must be precise, deliberate, and well planned.  Just jumping in because a stock has started to run is the best way to lose money on a Swing Trade. Using a pre calculated Entry that buys into strength instead of the traditional Limit Order so many retail traders use, is crucial to successful Swing Trading. Never buy into weakness using a Limit Order. Using a Limit Order is one of the most common reasons Swing Traders do not have consistent profitability.When you combine professional style Repetitive Patterns, Price Levels, Indicators, Stop Loss placement, Entries and Exits your Swing Trading will go to a whole new level of profitability.  It will be easier, more reliable and a lot of fun to do.Member of Market Technicians AssociationMaster Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Instructor and Developer of TechniTrader Stock Market CoursesThis Stock Discussion and Training Lesson is sponsored by TechniTrader.com©2013 Decisions Unlimited, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.TechniTrader is the Registered Trademark of Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Disclaimer: All statements, whether expressed verbally or in writing are the opinions of TechniTrader and its instructors or employees, and are not to be construed as anything more than an opinion.

TechniTrader® Weekly Stock Discussion: “Platform Compressions Are Ideal Entries”

a Platform compressions are ideal entries for swing and momentum traders, and identifying these compression patterns early is most important.We are looking at SWIR today to study a relational technical analysis pattern.  This stock was under Dark Pool quiet accumulation which tends to form platforms. Dark Pools create this sideways pattern with controlled bracketed orders that buy incrementally over time.  The goal of the Dark Pools is not to disturb price. As they conclude their buying for that period, HFTs find out and can push price up with momentum as occurred in January on this chart. Prior to that move up, the candlesticks compressed. These platform compressions are ideal entries for swing and momentum traders.A compression is a tight consolidation rather than a wider platform. It doesn’t matter where the compression forms, at the low or high of the platform range, it often precedes a decisive breakout and run or gap. Then the stock resumes its sideways pattern as Dark Pools start buying at the next level.  Platform compressions are ideal entries that form at or near the end of the platform, and are often missed by retail traders.  Bollinger Bands can be used to assist in the identification of the compression. These expanding and contracting bands provide excellent analysis for sideways patterns. Entries must be made prior to the breakout due to the rising energy that develops as price compresses.  One aspect of Bollinger Bands to remember is that the center line for a strong compression will be equal distance from the outer bands.  In a strong compression, the center line on Bollinger Bands will move right through the center of the candlesticks.  If the center line is below or above, then the pattern is not as strong or indicative.Learning to identify compressions in platforms is a Spatial Pattern Recognition Skill that helps swing and momentum traders trade platform market conditions. Sideways markets occur 50-60% of the time and these are the market conditions that tend to have retail traders whipsawed out of trades constantly.Platform compressions are ideal entries so instead of attempting to trade the small runs in a platform, wait for the compression pattern, and enter before the stock runs or gaps with momentum.Using different techniques and strategies during a sideways market can help swing and momentum traders find more stocks to trade with much higher point gain potential.For information regarding trading styles sign in to access “Choosing a Trading Style” here: http://goo.gl/ki1UO4Member of Market Technicians AssociationMaster Rated Technical Analyst for Decisions Unlimited, Inc.Instructor and Developer of TechniTrader® Stock Market CoursesThis Stock Discussion and Training Lesson is sponsored by TechniTrader.com©2013 Decisions Unlimited, Inc. dba TechniTrader® All Rights Reserved.Disclaimer: All statements, whether expressed verbally or in writing are the opinions of TechniTrader® and its instructors or employees, and are not to be construed as anything more than an opinion.

The 7 Key Ingredients for Successfully Trading for a Living

aMetaStock U - semaine 2 - les commerçants de nus - les 7 ingrédients clés pour le commerce avec succès pour une vie - 27 juillet 2013
Par : Chef Trader Bruce E. Dinger
La cotation de la bourse peut être difficile si vous n'avez pas une feuille de route claire et la recette du succès. Le but de cet article est de fournir une structure clé dans la sélection de vos placements ou métiers. Suivre ce processus, et vos chances de trouver des métiers haut-probabilité de succès sont susceptibles d'augmenter.L'erreur la plus courante qui font des investisseurs est en regardant un stock individuel sans examiner les performances du groupe de l'industrie. Il est essentiel que les investisseurs commencent leur diligence raisonnable en examinant les performances et la tendance du groupe industrie dans son ensemble. Investisseurs avertis comprennent l'importance d'une approche « top-down » analyse et sais ce vieux disant « une marée montante soulève tous les bateaux ». Donc, si vous voulez vraiment vous augmentez vos chances de succès dans le marché boursier, commençons avec l'attraction ou la tendance du groupe industrie avant d'identifier des actions individuelles.Analyse de l'industrie ou le secteur est très similaire à un investisseur immobilier, achat d'une propriété. L'investisseur immobilier se concentre d'abord sur le voisin avoisinante parce qu'ils savent l'importance des propriétés associées, et comment ils auront un impact sur la valorisation de leurs biens identifiés. Commerce et d'investissement dans le marché boursier sont très similaire. Si vous développez l'habitude de vérifier le « voisin » environnant, comprendre l'attraction ou l'évaluation de ces propriétés connexes ; vous augmenterez vos chances de sélection de l'investissement réussi.La 2ème chose que vous devez faire avant que vous pensez de la gâchette et en plaçant ce métier consiste à vérifier sous le capot, ce qui est mieux connu sous le nom les « fondamentaux ». Beaucoup d'investisseurs pense qu'ils ont besoin d'un diplôme en finances, mais même un simple regard sur les principes fondamentaux de la société vous donnera un sentiment de la force et la viabilité de leur entreprise.
Voici quelques tendances clés pour noter et comparer aux concurrents plus proche de la société.RevenueNet IncomeProfit MarginReturn sur EquityCritically important consiste à chercher des tendances d'intérêt. Autrement dit, commençant par les « empreintes des éléphants » et notant que si les grands investisseurs placent leur argent sur la ligne avec votre stock de choix. Bien que l'investissement d'un gestionnaire de grosses sommes d'argent y a aucune garantie que votre stock va bien faire, il augmente la probabilité. Une autre tendance à surveiller est « achat d'initié ». Il y a beaucoup de raisons que les dirigeants d'une compagnie de vendent leurs actions, mais il y a habituellement une principale raison qu'ils achètent des actions de leur société-ils croient il est sous-évalué.Il est également important de noter les tendances globales pour offre et la demande son de leurs produits et services. Négociants et investisseurs réussies comprennent l'importance de noter des tendances et classifiant comme « froid, chaud, chaud et explosive ». Oui, analyser les tendances globales prend un temps et un engagement sérieux de due diligence, mais le gain peut être énorme.Enfin, en vertu des « tendances d'intérêt », l'investisseur devrait se concentrer sur la direction de l'entreprise sélectionnée. Déterminer si l'équipe de direction est considéré comme des visionnaires, les dirigeants de grandes entreprises, ou dans des artistes interprètes ou exécutants. S'ils ont des grands disciples, les chances sont grandes que l'évaluation des titres a solide potentiel de hausse.Beaucoup d'investisseurs rejeter les cotes de l'analyste, mais il s'agit d'une erreur. Après faire votre diligence raisonnable et de vos constatations ci-dessus appuyer un stock de haut-probabilité de fusée, mais que vous remarquez que le consensus parmi les analystes est une « cale »... cela pourrait être la mise en place pour un futur rôle de catalyseur. Comment, vous pourriez demander ? Si tout le reste est égal et vos conclusions appuient un bon achat, et puis plus tard les analystes commencent à réviser leurs puissances de « main » à un « achat », cela sert généralement comme un catalyseur pour aider catapulte évaluation de vos actions vers de nouveaux sommets.5. Gains et conférences téléphoniquesil y a beaucoup que vous pouvez apprendre en écoutant l'appel conférence de la société. Vous découvrirez non seulement outlook de la société et des problèmes éventuels, mais vous découvrirez également ce qui est important pour les analystes. Les questions posées ce qui peuvent indiquer une tendance à ce que les analystes sont à la recherche et vous fournissent un aperçu en tant qu'investisseur de ce qui est vraiment important. Ecoute comment les cadres gérer les questions... sont les questions traitées en toute confiance ? Y a-t-il d'autres sociétés de ce groupe qui ont peut-être mieux prendre pied sur la tendance de l'intérêt pour les investisseurs et les analystes ? L'écoute de l'appel de gains ou en lisant la transcription est clé dans ce processus de devenir un investisseur réussi ou commerçant.Après toute la diligence raisonnable a été terminé, les véritables baromètres d'intérêt du marché en un stock est « Prix Action ». En fin de compte, l'offre et la demande de l'entreprise est reflétée dans le prix. Un investisseur ou un commerçant du marché doit apprendre à reconnaître les KPPs (points de pivot clé) qui reflètent les schémas émotionnels des acteurs du marché. Comme vous devenez plus familier avec l'action des prix, tendances sur les prix, prise en charge et les zones de résistance et autres aspects techniques de la lecture du graphique, votre capacité à effectivement gérer votre risque et identifier des occasions de récompense risque faible/élevé augmentera.Que vous soyez un professionnel à court terme ou les investisseurs à long terme, effectivement reconnaître les tendances des prix et faire la distinction entre les points de réflexion « majeur » et « mineure » de l'offre et la demande, il est important d'utiliser l'analyse multiple de laps de temps. Cela signifie un graphique non seulement un délai d'un an standard, mais la recherche dans tous les principaux délais dont un 20 ans, 10 ans, 5 ans et 3 mois, réaliste et divers graphiques intrajournaliers.Affichage d'un graphique en utilisant plusieurs délais veillera à ce que vous gagnez une meilleure compréhension des principaux pivots et les vagues majeures et mineures d'un graphique. Ceci vous aide à prendre de meilleures décisions sur votre entrée et sorties.Une des vos étapes finales avant de placer le commerce est de planifier la stratégie que vous avez l'intention d'utiliser que votre entrée et votre sortie sera non seulement aider à augmenter vos chances de réussite, mais aussi d'éliminer autant de risque que possible. Conception d'un commerce avec l'idée de réduire votre exposition et de fournir que la plus haute récompense est le vrai signe d'un maître Trader.Follow les 7-étapes décrites ci-dessus et vous devriez voir un degré plus élevé de succès sur le marché et se rapprocher de votre poursuite de trading pour gagner sa vie.Chef Trader Bruce E.

Volume Spikes Continued

aMetaStock SPRS Series - Week 129 - TechniTrader® Stock Discussion for MetaStock Users - Volume Spikes Continued - July 26, 2013 By: Martha Stokes C.M.T.  High Frequency Traders create most of the "Volume Spikes" that form on your charts nowadays. This is due to their high speed, low latency trading platforms that execute as many as 3000 trades per second. This is way beyond the scope of retail trader's minute trading platforms.HFTs can control price for one day, and sometimes for 2 days. Their volume patterns are easy to identify on the charts and can give you a leading indication of what to expect the next day.If you are a swing trader, learning these patterns is crucial for your success. If you do not understand whether the HFT volume is a continuation or a reversal pattern, and why it is a continuation or reversal pattern then you are most likely to find yourself on the wrong side of the trade most of the time.Studying the chart above with colored volume to indicate an upside price day versus a downside price day, it is easy to pick out the HFT volume days when the HFT trigger orders are moving price and volume.Remember that not every HFT buy or sell is profitable for them. This is a computer generated high frequency order system. The computer is far from infallible.The first HFT action is out of a bottom. Smaller funds and retail traders who use share lots above 5000-10,000 lot size are trying to sell down this stock. TechniTrader® Quiet Accumulation TTQA shows this smaller fund and large lot selling effort. However Dark Pools are moving in at this level so price holds steady. HFTS discover the Dark Pools and trigger a gap up day on higher volume. As the Dark Pools shift the sentiment to the upside, seen by the red to green TTQA in December, the HFTS once again trigger causing price to move up again.When HFTS are tracking Dark Pools the trend continues.As the Dark Pools activity evaporates smaller funds and HFTs are driving price. Dark Pools have stopped buying. When HFTs discover this they start selling short, triggering the smaller funds and retail side to chase on the sell side, either selling out of a losing trade or trying to sell short.However, the Dark Pools are NOT selling, distributing, or rotating. They simply stopped buying because price moved out of their buy zone. So as the price enters their buy zone, the Dark Pool orders start firing off again and this forms the bottom.HFTs once again discover this, driving price up again for one day end of April. Since Dark Pools are still in the buy mode price moves up slightly in May. HFTs try to drive price up further but fail at the end of May. So the HFTS switch tactics and try to sell short, unfortunately for the HFT computers which are not able to see what you can see in your charts, the Dark Pools are triggered just as the HFTs try selling short again based on their computer algorithms.Smaller funds chase the HFTs and lose money, because Dark Pools are consistently buying incrementally which now drives price.The final long volume and green TTQA is a result of HFTs triggering after the Dark Pools have completed their buying for the moment.The dynamics between the two largest and most dominant market participants in the market is important. By understanding how they move in and out of a stock and what patterns they create on the charts, you can learn to enter before the huge HFTs moves and avoid being on the wrong side of the trade.For more information email: info@technitrader.comMember of Market Technicians AssociationMaster Rated Technical Analyst: Decisions Unlimited, Inc.
