Dear Trader,

Are you prepared for the silly season?

What is the silly season you might ask, well it happens
every year in the markets. From LaSalle Street to Wall
Street, traders are winding down for the holidays.

So what is the silly season?

Well here's how is goes, if you haven't made your money in
the markets by now its get twice as difficult to make money
after Friday the 14th.

Now, I didn't say you can't or couldn't make money but the
reality is trading volume for the markets get thinner and
thinner everyday after the 14th. This causes the markets to
be even more volatile if you can believe that.

So here's a little holiday trading tip. This coming week is
OK to trade but the week after watch out as many market
makers and traders have already checked out for the
holidays.

Like I said, silly season is just around the corner.

So what about the markets?

Stocks look higher next week.

Gold looks higher.

Crude looks to be in a trading range and on the defensive.

It's all part of the ebb and flow of the marketplace.

Look for the Dow to run into resistance around the 14,000
area. NASDAQ has resistance at 2,740 and again at 2,800.

Gold SPOT has resistance at 830 and support at 785.

Crude Oil(Jan) resistance at 93.00 support at 86.50

Speaking of the marketplace ...

TIME TO LAUGH
At a country-club party a young stockbroker was introduced
to an attractive girl. Immediately he began paying her court
and flattering her outrageously. The girl liked the young
man, but she was taken a bit aback by his fast and ardent
pitch. She was amazed when after 30 minutes he seriously
proposed marriage. "Look," she said. "We only met a half
hour ago. How can you be so sure? We know nothing about each
other." "You're wrong," the young stockbroker declared. "For
the past 5 years I've been working in the brokerage firm
where your father has his account."

This is Adam Hewison,

have a great weekend and a profitable new trading week.

To pump, or not to pump, that is the question facing OPEC minister when they meet tomorrow in Abu Dhabi.

Here's why I say. It is much ado about nothing.

OK, enough with the Shakespeare.

There are three elements that drive commodity price trends which include Crude Oil.

1. SUPPLY
2. DEMAND
3. SENTIMENT

I call this my "SDS" indicator. Any trader worth their salt uses this formula or some derivative of this formula for their trading.

So let's look at all three today on the eve of OPECs meeting tomorrow. The main decision OPEC is making in Abu Dhabi, is should they raise output by 500,000 barrels a day.

Here's how we see it. At this moment in time supply and demand is pretty much in balance and a bullish or bearish case can be argued either way.

Sentiment on the other hand can only be seen as neutral to leaning on the negative side of the equation.

Here's the scenario as I see it.

OPEC does nothing = prices rally and traders sell into the rally.
OPEC raises output = traders sell.

Sentiment for crude oil in the short-term is decidedly bearish. We expect this sentiment will drive crude prices down into the low eighties by the end of the month.

Why would I even compare the tools of a trader with the tools found in a man's garage? It may be because even I can see the parallel in the saying, “you need the right tools for the job.” You wouldn't fix a leaky sink with a band-saw and you wouldn't enter a trade simply because you heard about a company on the news. You need the right tools for the job! Let's examine the traders' garage...

-You need a garage where you can shut the door and do your work.

-You should work on multiple projects in your garage.

In your garage you should be rebuilding a carburetor, building a table, and painting old furniture. You should also have an array of tools to work on these various projects. Painting supplies, wood saws and wrenches will all be needed if you will be working on very different types of projects. It sounds like too many tasks at a time, but DIVERSIFICATION IS KEY, and tools will be needed to succeed in multiple tasks. A trader should always have their hands working on multiple non-correlating markets at one time. You will need tools to search for potential trades in the equities, futures and forex markets. By sticking only with stocks for example, a trader is leaving themselves
vulnerable if stocks were to take a big hit. By diversifying trades, the risk is reduced as their interests are better balanced. MarketClub members have two tools that can help them seek potential trades in the equities, futures and forex markets. The Recent Trade Triangle tool will allow traders to identify trend changes on a monthly, weekly and daily basis in all markets. The Smart Scan can also help traders find preferential charting patterns for equities, futures and forex markets helping you find an array of trades to balance your portfolio.

-Filter your garage projects... what can I do that is worth my time and what is a lack luster task?

You can spend hours in your garage working on various things. However, when a project is complete what was worth your time and effort and what was not. So you want to put stylish tires on your car, but the oil also needs to be changed. In the long run what project is going to get that car from point A to point B. You need to filter your projects as much as you should FILTER YOUR TRADES. Is the time and effort you put into a trade going to pay off in the end... will the return be worth it? It is important that a trader try to catch those big moves and not a few pennies here and there. By filtering your trades you can identify what trades are ready to break and which are moving back and forth in a small trading range. MarketClub member can use two tools to identify the significant potential markets. We suggest that members use two different time periods to identify that the trends are in corresponding direction. We then suggest that members use the Trend Analysis Score to verify trend strength and help suggest if a position should be entered or if a market is too weak to waste time on.

-You should always have an emergency cut-off button for your tools.

Have you ever not seen an emergency cut-off button on power tools? It is so important for your safety to have a big red button that you can press to prevent huge losses. There is no difference with trading. You should always have an emergency STOP LOSS PLACEMENT to prevent financial misfortunes. It is important that a trader have a point where they are removed from a market in the event of a bad decision or crazy market move. MarketClub members can use the technical analysis studies on the Java Charting Applet to determine stop loss placements. A study like the Parabolic SAR can help traders identify where to place that emergency cut-off button. Also the chart analysis score can help traders decide whether to tighten their stop losses for more dangerous situation or give the stop loss a little slack for less volatile markets.

-Keep a stack of how-to books or instructional videos for help when working on projects

When you get into a tight spot where you can't remember how to build something or can't think up the steps of a project, you should be able to consult a manual or how-to book for assistance. MarketClub members have library of trading resources to help them built a trading plan, practice money management or apply a technical analysis studies. Trade School is a resource that will help traders create a plan, understand components of various projects, set emergency cut-off stops, etc.

Ok, so maybe this comparison is a stretch... but the saying applies to traders just the same, “you need the right tools for the job,” and MarketClub can help! Also see Adam's video - 10 Lessons For Traders
