Taking Action is the Key to Trading Success / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Nazy_Massoud
How to Deal With Invisible Fences in Your Trading - I was watching a rerun of "Sex and the City." If you are not familiar with the series, it is about 4 single women living in Manhattan and what they went through in their daily lives.
In any case, these city girls went to suburbia for a party. They were passing by a house and saw a dog. One of them gestured for the dog to come to her. The dog came to a certain point and then went back. She was stunned by what had happened. She could not figure out why the dog retreated when he seemed to be interested. She started to take it personally. Then one of her friends explained that there was an invisible electronic fence around the house...

Traders - Get a Mental Edge to Avoid Tripping Yourself Up! / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Nazy_Massoud
Have you been in situations where you had several winning trades which were wiped out by one losing trade?
Have these become a pattern?
Like some of my clients, you may be saying, “I have spent hours creating my plan.” Then you start the day with every intention of following it. After a few losing trades, you lose your control and with that, your plans go out the window. You try to make up for your losses by chasing after deals and increasing the size of your trades. So you get in at the wrong entry point and the size does not warrant the risk.

How to Select and Trade Stocks and Shares / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Zeal_LLC
Are you interested in trading in the stock markets? Do you have questions about getting started? You are certainly not alone. Almost weekly I hear from ordinary folks with basic questions about trading stocks. After addressing these on a consulting basis for years, I'll outline some of the basics in this essay.
The Rewards of Stock Trading
Trading stocks is an incredibly rewarding journey. Everyone is intrigued by the stock markets because traders can make big money there. This is certainly true. But the potentially extraordinary financial winnings are not the most gratifying part of trading stocks. The best part is really the endless learning and personal growth that trading naturally generates. Trading is a most-fascinating voyage of discovery.

Conditional Formatting and its Application to Technical Analysis (AMEX Gold BUGS Index as an Example) / InvestorEducation / Technical Analysis
By: David_Petch
Carl Swenlin stated “Technical analysis is a wind sock, not a crystal ball”. This is probably one of the most eloquent and precise definitions I have ever seen because it goes deeper than the sentence itself. Provided the wind is blowing from the north, the windsock will indicate that until the wind changes direction. When the wind direction changes, individuals can note this and be confident that the wind hitting their house is coming from a direction specified by the windsock.Read full article...

Asset Class Behavior Following Fed Interest Rate Cuts - Part 4 of 4 / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Editor's Note: This article is Part IV in a four-part series.
In Part III of this four-part series, I concluded the periods following the first Fed rate cut in July 1995, September 1998, and January of 2001 were most similar to today's economic landscape. We can use the information from Part III as one of many factors when determining our asset allocation for the coming year. The next logical step is to explore how different asset classes performed relative to each other in each of the three respective historical periods (1995-1996, 1998-1999, 2001-2002).

By: Chris_Ciovacco
To recap the main points :
- Wall Street places a strong emphasis on the impact of the Fed’s actions on asset prices.
- Lower interest rates help fuel inflation and hurt the U.S. dollar.
- The current Fed is not afraid to make significant interest rate cuts and we can expect them to act swiftly in the face of any continued deterioration in housing, financial markets, or the general economy.
