Tag: Crude Oil

The video that proves it all.

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Dear blog reader,

I just finished a new educational trading video on crude oil. This short video shows you all the Q3 trading signals that took place in this market. The results have been nothing short of spectacular. With gains of over $20,750 per contract, I think you'll understand why we are so excited about our "Trade Triangle" technology and this video.

During the Q3 period we had six trades; four winners and two losers. The biggest gain was $13,160 a contract, while the biggest loss was $3,770. Q3 was a great quarter that produced fabulous results. While our Q3 results were great, what is more impressive is our "Trade Triangle" approach has consistently produced positive gains for the past five quarters. With gains of $88,450.00 per contract over that last five quarters, you can see why we believe we have the perfect balanced approach to this market. That's what we are most proud of.

Every success,

Our Q3 results matched the market volatility and then some.

Posted on by The INO.com Team

In Q3 we hit unheard of levels of volatility in the markets.

I have been trading now for over three decades and I still love it. But, I have to admit that I have never witnessed markets that were so volatile, and in many cases so unpredictable. However, I know from experience that when you have a tool that eliminates emotion and calculates positions from actual market movement, it puts the odds in your favor that you'll come out on top.

So the question is, how did MarketClub's "Trade Triangle" Technology make out in Q3?

As you may know, we have been publishing our quarterly "Trade Triangle" results on corn, wheat, soybeans, crude oil, gold, and the Dollar Index. We've tracked these markets through their ups and downs and published the results on a regular basis. We have been doing this for 15 months and I'm happy, but not surprised to say that our "Trade Triangle" technology has been profitable in every quarter.

It just so happens that Q3 has turned out to be our best quarter ever. In this blog posting I have included three images. One that will show the results market by market for the past 5 quarters. The other chart shows the cumulative gains for the past 5 quarters, which is $$234,501.50. The last illustration is not a chart, but a spread sheet which displays the trading results in numeric format.

I've also made a short video that shows the results of trading crude oil (NYMEX_CL) with MarketClub. In this video, I'll show you all of the trades that we made to achieve those "Trade Triangle" results. In crude oil we made a total of six trades. Out of those six trades, we had four winning trades and two loosing trades. The current margin required to trade one contract of crude oil is around $10,000. If you would have followed all our "Trade Triangle" signals, the margin required would be around $50,000. I think you would agree that this approach has shown some pretty spectacular returns during the last 5 quarters. This new video will debut on Tuesday October 21st.

I also recommend that you to take a look at our previous 2007 Q3 and Q4 results as well as the results from this year's first two quarters. I think it proves my point that you can make money in any market when you have a game plan and you are disciplined.

If you have any questions about the "Trade Triangle" results, please give one of our customer service specialists a call at 1-800-538-7424. They can quickly set you up with a 30 day Risk-Free trial to MarketClub. This is where you can check on and replicate the same trading results shown above. You will also spot some new moves as our "Trade Triangle" technology is dynamic and instantly alerts you to price movements when they happen and not after the fact.

Every success,

It's not over till it's over

It's not over till it's over.

Rushing into any market because it looks inexpensive or cheap is not the way to trade. Oftentimes when you see weakness in the market, it means that the market is headed lower. The market we are looking at today is a classic case of a market that should have gone up (which it did), and then it turned dramatically lower.

There are always ways to make money in the markets and this eight minute video goes through each trade in the last couple of months and details how you would have made out in this market using a methodology that eliminates emotion and fear. The market we are covering in this video produced a gain of over $46,000 on an investment of less than $10,000.

You don't have to listen to the news and you don't have to watch cable. You don't even have to listen to gossip or tips on the market. All you have to do is follow some simple trading rules and the odds are you will do very well.

The video is available free of charge. We are leaving the video up for a limited amount of time. I strongly urge you, given the market volatility, to watch this eye opening video as soon as possible.

Every success trading,

Wasn't crude oil supposed to go to $200 a barrel?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

It's true, the rumors were circulating heavily when crude oil was trading at $145 a barrel that it was going to be hitting $200 a barrel in a matter of days or weeks at the very latest. Well, that never happened. Crude oil learned that gravity plays a part in every commodity market's life.

The pullback in crude oil, given the fact that a major hurricane named Ike is shooting for the gulf, is not so surprising given the history of the commodity markets. Often times we see pressure coming into a market months ahead of the actual news that either production has been increased or demand fluctuation has changed the dynamics of the marketplace.

Take a few minutes and watch this short video and see how we have been looking at crude oil. Afterwards, check out our track record in this market for the past 12 months.

I hope you find time to quickly browse through this video as it will certainly give you some good trading tips on how to improve your own trading.

Every success trading and every success in life.

Are you master of your domain?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

With Crude taking a dive this week (our MarketClub Trade Triangles getting short at the PERFECT price) I wanted to bring in Jeremy Ascher from ChartWhiz.com to bring a little insight into what he's seeing in the energy markets as we've gotten a ton of emails regarding pulling profits and controlling losses. Please enjoy the post...and take a look at our most recent signals for Crude Oil (CL.V08) if you're a MarketClub member.

==================================================================

I’ve been analyzing and trading the energy markets for more than 10 years and I continue to see beginner traders make the mistakes over and over again. I know this because I made the same mistakes when I was a rookie trader. It goes something like this…you start the day with a good trade and lock in some nice profits. Then you make another and your having a pretty decent day, one in which you could easily call it a day. Let’s say for example you’re up $800 on the day. But then the greed kicks in and you want more. Ok, one more trade, let me hit that $1000 mark. Now you place a losing trade and you’re up only $600. Now you think to yourself “I should have just closed the books. Ok, let me try to make that $200 back and call it a day”. You lose again, up only $350 now. Now you’ve turned a triple into a single. Now you’re angry. That’s it, it’s all or nothing. I have $350 to risk and I’m done. This is where it gets ugly, usually turning an $800 winning day into an $800 loser, a $1600 swing.

Sound familiar? You bet it does.
Why does this happen? The answer is simple-you are not master of your domain. In other words it’s a lack of discipline. Without discipline it will be very difficult to become a successful trader. So I’ve come up with a few simple “post it” notes that should help you overcome this hurdle. I have these notes posted to my monitor in big letters to keep a constant reminder. Here they are:
1. Trade the numbers, not opinion. Before you trade you should always do your homework. I analyze the charts to derive support and resistance numbers. These are the only areas that I am willing to place trades. Anything else to me is gambling. If you have support you are buying against, you trade that number until the market tells you otherwise.
2. Patience. It is extremely important to have patience when trading. Use your support and resistance as guide lines. Do not chase the market and force trades; let the market come to you.
3. No Emotion. It is virtually impossible to not have any emotion when trading, but it can be reduced drastically. To do this, trade with a systematic approach. Determine a comfortable risk threshold to use on every trade. If you’re wrong and get stopped out, wait for the next trade with the same risk parameters. Trading a system day in and day out will help keep you off the emotional rollercoaster that so many of us experience.
These may sound too simple and basic to work, but sometimes it’s the simple things that work best. And believe me, these do. After all, not trading your numbers will lead to impatience which will lead to emotional trading. And that my friends, is a recipe for disaster. So get out your sticky notes, write these down, and stick them on your monitor and become master of your domain today.
