We've all heard about eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY), the internet auction site. But, did you know that eBay is a really great stock to trade?
In my new eBay video, I will show how to make money trading in this stock, and how it has produced stellar 
returns in the past 12 months for members following MarketClub's "Trade Triangle" signals.
The video is about eight minutes long and you'll see step by step every signal we took to produce some mighty good returns.
Now you may have bought items on eBay, or you may have sold items there... but you can make money on eBay by just trading it.
My new video shows all, is available now, and you can watch it for free. I think you'll be amazed at the opportunities that eBay presents on a regular basis.
Enjoy the video,

Adam,
Even though I am not a member yet,you and your team provide some excellent education and changed my thinking about the markets and saved me a hell of a lot money! Its great that you share your experience and knowledge and I am really lucky to have learnt from you. So thanks so much and all the best to you and your team. Kind Regards Zach
Zach,
Thanks for your feedback. We are here to help and love to hear positive feedback.

Before I join Market Club, I would like to ask a question concerning whether you would use daily signals for entry and exit because in the EBAY trade video you only use Weekly signals. Or you would not use Daily signals for equity trading.
Thanks,
Zoe

Zoe,
Our suggested technique is to use the monthly/weekly method, focusing on longer term trends. However, if you are a short term trader you can use the weekly/daily method at your own discretion. Please see this link which will take you to our Help Section on how to interpret the "Trade Triangles"

Would this work using options. Have you tried using options? Thanks Judy
Judy,
Thanks for your feedback. We have a great number of members who successfully use options using our Trade Triangle signals. I personally do not trade options.
Adam
Adam et al. I appreciate your generosity, and I consider becoming a member of Market Club. I have two questions.
1. When you select what to show in your videos, I suspect that it is more tempting to select periods with nice trends and good results. But what happens during whip saw periods? To really know what to expect in real trading, it is necessary to see how the method performs under difficult conditions also. Could you show some results of back-testing over many years, not only the carefully selected, good periods?
2. In the graphs, the triangles are always placed in a graphical position that makes them look better than they are numerically. Also, the lines that you draw when explaining in the videos have the same kind of graphical bias. A triangle pointing up is always placed below the trading bar of the day even though the signal might have come near the top of the range. And a triangle pointing down is always placed at the top. This can make even a series of whip saws (losing trades) look graphically like winners. Would you consider making the graphical visualization more representative of the numerical reality?
Thanks!!

Hi Gunnar,
1) I went back and did the results since the 1st monthly "Trade Triangle" which occurred on June 13th, 2002. See all the results below. Adam and I are also working on a huge stock recap which we will track every quarter along with the futures and forex markets.
2) You are correct that sometimes it looks better than it is. However, the prices are no different than what is included under the triangle. It placement will have to do for now. But, keep you eye peeled for our new charts soon.

Gary,
I was just in the middle of writing back and discussing all points of your previous comment.

A few comments:
I assume that when you get a down arrow, you actually short the stock which is kinda risky, plus I assume you need a substantial margin account. I buy calls/puts which is not nearly as risky (you know exactly the maximum you can lose).
I have been using the Monthly/Weekly charts to trade, but I have added MACD to the screen.
In the EBAY example a sell was given on 11/8/07, however, MACD did not give a sell until 1/4/08. On 3/19 a green triangle was given and confirmed by MACD. This trade would have resulted in a profit of approximately 3.38 in the stock (and a lot better return on the put).
The next sell signal was given on 6/27/08 and the buy was given on 12/19/08. This resulted in approximately a 13.19 gain in the stock.
These numbers are approximate, it is hard to tell in looking backwards on what day the signals were actually given.
So, by adding MACD I would end up with 2 trades and a stock profit of 16.50
I would appreciate any comments on this. I am still going back and looking at prior history and using actual option pricing where I can to determine profit/lose.
The next signal did not happen until 6/27/08

Gary,
1) Just because a red "Trade Triangle" is issued doesn't mean it is an immediate short. We use a filtering technique using two different time frames to confirm the direction of the trend and then the entering and exits of positions. Please see this link to see the technique for the financial instrument you may trade and the style you are comfortable with. http://broadcast.ino.com/livesupport/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=32&nav=0,15
2) I too use the MACD in conjunction with the "Trade Triangles." I think it is a great backup.
3) The Trade Triangles take a little more conservative approach.
4) The MACD is a great tool... if it wasn't, then no one would know who Gerald Appel was. I am a firm believer that you should use another technical analysis indicator in conjunction with the "Trade Triangles." Being comfortable with the tools you use to trade is important. I consider the MACD as my security blanket.
The "Trade Triangles" take a more conservative approach. We do not try capture tops and bottoms as this can be a strain on your wallet as well as your emotions. We try to catch the "sweet spot" (70% of the move). We will hold off buying until a trend continues and matures and we will hold off selling until that trend reverses and matures. That's just our style. I have never been one to look for the "holy grail." I've never believed in those product that promised 200% overnight... but a 3:1 win:loss ratio is right up my alley!
I appreciate your comments,

Adam: Before I join Market Club, I would like to ask a question concerning entry and exit points:
Are the prices identified by your Trade Triangles recommended or prescriptive, i.e. do we give the broker a limit order in each case, or is it possible to enter earlier and leave earlier? I find the prices on the triangles a bit confusing. I would truly appreciate a reply. Thank you. John

Dear John,
What do the values under the triangle represent?
The triangle signals are produced by our algorithm. Therefore the date and price is the exact date and price at which the algorithm was triggered. This date and price is not issued as a ideal point, but at the time at which the trend was marked as a stable reversal. It is very possible that you could get a fill at a better price than what was issued with the triangle. This price only says to you, "At $X the algorithm was triggered signifying a change in trend." If you still have questions about these prices please give us a call, we are more than happy to help. 1-800-538-7424.

so u shorted just before the market crashed. i say u just got lucky.
Are there any future plans to add any additional filters for Market Club? For instance adding a filter that will provide a list of stocks that are on both monthly and weekly buy signals. Also the opposite search that will provide a list of stocks that are on both monthly and weekly sell signals. This would cut down the amount of time trying to find these signals as separate filters.
Thanks.

Michael,
Yes. We are working on our new charts, which will provide the easiest way to see if two trends are in alignment. With one glance you will be able to see what trends are in corresponding direction. I think it is exactly what you are looking for... I know I'm excited.

The audio on this was so faint that I gave up watching the video. To be honest I have found that the case with several of your trading videos, although I have my computer volume maxed out. This is very frustrating. Is there a possibility that the volume can be increased on your productions?
My guess is that I am not the only one with the
problem.

Dan,
The volume has not been an issue before. However, try the video below. I have listen to this one a few times and have had no problems. I would check your audio settings, but if I can help please let me know.

Regarding your discussion on trading E-bay. 5 trades, $12 profit was not in a ONE MONTH time frame as you said in the video. As I followed your video it appeared that you went from NOV 07 to Dec 08. Please explain if I did not follow correctly.
Thanks,
D. Peterson

David,
I believe that was an honest mistake. He did in minute 8:00 refer to the great returns in a month, but he intended to say year. Heck... no matter how you slice it, a 3:1 win:lose ratio isn't bad for a day, a month, a year, decade. Thanks for bringing the slip-up to our attention.
