Update - Stevenson High School's Economics Club

Posted on by lindsay

Today I received an email from the teacher who runs the economics club at Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. He sent a great message to inform me of the progress his 6 teams have made in their participation with the "The Stock Market Game" (a program of the SIFMA). I wanted to share this message with you as the successes and struggles are typical of new traders.

Lindsay,

Thought I would give you an update on the progress our Stock Market Challenge teams. Out of 500 teams one of ours is 52! The others are not faring as well (200 placement range). But, a few reasons are behind this:

First of all, getting the kids used to and knowledgeable about trading stocks was a challenge in itself. This is the first time we, as a school, have participated in this type of competition so the "word" is not out with the student population. Of interest is that I am getting more inquiries from some top notch students but, unfortunately, the competition is closed for them for now.

Directional Movement Index

"The Directional Movement Index, commonly called the DMI, is a powerful trend-following indicator. Many false signals generated by indicators such as the stochastics are filtered out by the DMI. Subsequently, this trading and analytical tool gives few signals, but, when generated, they tend to be very reliable.Many, who at first glance are strangers to the DMI, find they are familiar with the prime component of the index: The ADX or average directional movement index. This discussion will center on the main use of the ADX, the turning point concept.

The DMI consists of three components: The + DI, which represents upward directional movement; the - DI, indicating downward movement; and the ADX, which signifies the average directional movement within a market..."

Here's great news from a member...

"I've been using MarketClub for several months now, and my experience has been phenomenal. After trying and choosing for some of the web-sites I've been using, MarketClub for me is not just different is the best.

Talking about all the services that I can find once I log in, there is plenty of things I am able to do using my tools for the traders in MarketClub. One of those tools is the Trade Triangles which gives valuable points of views on what direction the market or one of my favorite stocks is heading to. Giving an example of a good performance using the talking charts which are awesome by the way and the Trade Triangles, for me could be (QSII) Quality Sys Inc. A weekly buy signal was posted on March 10, 2009 and this stock is been moving in positive way since then for almost 50%, I believe this talks a lot of how good and comfortable I feel knowing that MarketClub is here with me to help. Thank you MarketClub." ~ Manuel R., Florida
