In this new short video, we are going to share the market, the pattern, and a price projection where we think this market is headed based on INO’s Trade Triangle technology.

I hope that this educational video will help you spot this very same technical formation in the future. The video is extremely short and will only take a few minutes of your time, however, the lesson is priceless.

As we have mentioned before many times on this blog, “perception is more powerful than fundamentals.”

While the gold bugs argue that the market is being manipulated, I am more of a realist and respect what the market is actually doing. The big question on everyone’s mind is: Why are food prices and other commodity markets soaring, while gold is dismally staying down in the $1,330 area?

MarketClub’s Trade Triangles are all Red, meaning that the trend for gold is likely to remain negative or at best move in a sideways fashion.

My best estimation at this point in time is that we are going to see more sideways action and probably some recovery from current levels. However, I would like to see some concrete evidence that the market has actually put in a low and that we will see a recovery in this yellow metal in the future.

One thing I can say, historically the MarketClub’s monthly RED Trade Triangles have not been successful in gold. You would have been more successful fading the RED monthly Trade Triangle signal and going long gold.

Before getting, “gung ho” on this approach, you will be better off waiting for a green weekly trade triangle to kick in which would indicate that the market has probably made a low.

That is the main reason why, we recommend using the weekly Trade Triangles for trend, and daily Trade Triangle’s for timing.

In this short video, Adam explained what he mean and show you concrete examples of how you can use this strategy to make money.

Why is gold not going higher with all the turmoil in Egypt? is from Online Trading News

Did the world change? Did the problems in Europe go away? Did all the states manage to find funding to cover their deficits?

No, none of that happened, but gold still dropped $100.

It’s all about market perception and timing, two things we’ve talked about many times before on the Trader’s Blog. I don’t know about you, but I remember when gold was over $1,400 an ounce and all I could see on TV where ads from gold companies extolling the virtues of buying gold as it is real money. Since the fall, I expect we’ll see fewer of these advertisements on TV and in print. – Adam

So what did happen to gold?

Well, for starters there were some key technical levels broken. If you’re a gold trader, but not a technical trader, you really need to learn how to read charts and see what other traders are doing.

Secondly, there did not appear to be any other news to drive this market higher. When that happens, markets tend to fall under their own weight, and as many retail investors purchased gold, there was nobody on the other side of the market to support gold.

So the question is, is the move over in gold? That’s a tricky one. In today’s video, Adam shows you exactly how he is looking at this very emotional market. Every time he has created a video indicating that there would be some pullback in gold, he was bombarded by the gold bugs saying that he was crazy. When you see a market pullback as much as gold has, you have to have some respect for the market itself.

If we look at the price of gold today at approximately $1,330, it pretty much equates to what happened in the last 30 years when gold was trading at a high of $850 an ounce. If you factor in inflation over the last 30 years, gold is probably lower now than it was 30 years ago. So how good an investment is gold? I think gold is more of a barometer of fear than anything else. Clearly there are other investments in the marketplace that have better returns.

Let’s get back to gold and what Adam think will happen. In this short video he analyze the market using his “Trade Triangles,” the Williams%R, and the MACD indicator.

Are you a little overwhelmed by all the information out there that promises to put piles of cash in your wallet overnight?

Do you have a sneaking suspicion that some stock brokers are lying through their teeth & simply out to “screw” you so they can add another Mercedes or BMW to their fancy car collection?

STOP!

I know exactly how you feel, and that’s why I’m glad I found this frank, straightforward, and “no B.S.” video presentation – It leads you to a TON of “dirt cheap” stock market training that will give you the upper hand when dealing with brokers… & a big edge over all the other frustrated & clueless “newbies” out there.

So, sit back, relax, & see if you relate to this “stock trading tale” here: WATCH NOW

(Make sure you watch the whole thing, because I think you’ll be ”floored” by what’s revealed at the end.)

“Dirt cheap” Stock Training for Newbies is from Online Trading News

Just a couple of years ago, the foreign exchange markets were dominated by the big brokers and major banks around the world. Today, the ‘little guys’ have gotten in on the action — and the growth in currency trading has increased from $1.9 trillion to nearly $3 trillion in that short space of time (that’s the average daily turnover in the markets – a 50% growth in turnover).

But why should you trade Forex?

First, the Forex markets are highly liquid (in the major pairs) and have a strong tendency to ‘trend’ regardless of what is happening in other markets (stocks, commodities, bonds).

That liquidity also creates constant volatility — and the volatility is where the ability to profit from those trends happens. The greater the volatility, the greater the profit potential.

Second, the stock markets have been beaten down, rallied, fallen, rallied — and there are strong indications that another ‘fall’ is coming. The uncertainty in these markets is keeping them from a specific direction, or trend. In the Forex markets, however, traders don’t have to worry about “bull” or “bear” markets — the currencies are always in a trend (whether up, down or sideways).

Furthermore, the financial upheaval driven by the credit crisis and the massive government responses means investing or trading in the stock markets will never be the same – but these same events helped to create even greater opportunities in the Forex markets.

Forex trading is not without risk – and frankly, most people approach the Forex markets completely wrong. The current economic and financial conditions make this one of the best times to take on Forex trading, but only if done correctly.

35+ year trading veteran and forex educator, Bill Poulos, has recently released a new video on the RIGHT way to approach trading Forex.

See, most traders go into forex trading with the idea of getting rich quick. And they come out pretty poor.

What Bill shows you is how to get into trading forex by managing risk FIRST and taking profits SECOND. It’s completely turning the forex community upside down.

Why Trading Forex Now Beats The Stock Market is from Online Trading News

As we’ve talked about before, if you aren’t managing your forex trades, from entry point to exit point, you’re going to see this happen to you – and it will likely happen often.

Here’s the root of the problem:

A trade is entered along with an initial stop loss. What most traders do is try to get ALL their profit at once, but they don’t actually have a ‘target’ –

When the trade initially gets profitable, many traders will ’screengaze’ — they get focused on how much they’ve made or are making at that moment. What they don’t do is plan for exiting the trade — they overstay in the trade and frequently watch their profits evaporate when the market turns against them (and then compound that error by staying in EVEN LONGER to ‘get back’ those lose profits). This is a losing proposition in forex trading.

In short, they let GREED cause them to lose sight of the purpose of the trade.

What is the purpose of a trade? To maximize gain and minimize risk – it IS that simple.

Maximizing gain does not mean you exit a trade at the absolute ‘Top’ – it does mean that for the duration the trade is on, you have a set of rules that determine where you’ll exit for profit – and it isn’t where YOU think it is! More on that in a bit…

Minimizing risk means more than just setting that initial stop loss — you MUST manage your stop losses throughout the duration of a trade.

When forex traders enter a trade they must protect their capital first and think profit second. When their position starts trending up, they can take the right action to protect their capital AND their profits.

In fact, most successful forex traders ASSUME they’ll lose on every trade. They perform this psychological trick to make sure their risk strategy is always top of mind! Once a trade turns in their favor (much to their surprise), the first steps they take is get themselves into a break-even trade situation; followed by aggressive stop loss management to maximize their profits on the trade.

They think risk first, profit second.

But there’s a real problem with Robots: They don’t work.

Oh, you’ll hear all the fancy talk about how so-and-so turned $10,000 into $ 150,476 in just seven days…

…but it isn’t true. It’s hype and it’s based on ‘hypothetical’ historical trading.

Fact: Most forex traders who use forex robots LOSE MONEY.

Truth: Robots lose money because they have disproportionate RISK MANAGEMENT rules built into them.

What the Robots go after are small, quick profits — 3 pips, 7 pips, 9 pips. And over the course of a series of trades, the Robot’s ‘Winning Percentage’ will be very high — 85-95% winners.

BUT the Robots have a fatal flaw: their stop losses are out of line with typical reward to risk ratios, usually on the order of 1:5 or 1:10 (that means you, the trader, are risking $10 to win $1. In gambling, this is known as “sucker betting” and you’re the sucker.).

Here’s what’s really going on with those Robots: The stop losses are set so wide that ONE TRADE can wipe out the profits from those “85%” winners. That’s because the gains you’re making on the winners are miniscule compared to the losses you take with the built-in risk – or lack therein.

Dirty little secret #2: The percentage of winning trades is inversely proportionate to the reward:risk ratio. The higher the percentage of winning trades, the lower your reward ratio; the lower the percentage of winning trades, the higher your reward ratio.

This means if a Robot claims to have 90% winning trades, your reward to risk ratio will be around 1:10.

Truth? Don’t fixate on ‘winning percentages’ — focus on managing the risk in every trade and keeping the reward to risk ratio in YOUR favor.
