Why The Last Trading Day Of February Is That Important

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere! I would like to share with you a little ritual that I go through at the end of every month. This monthly ritual is not a little happy dance I do (although I do a happy dance when it has been a very good month). This monthly ritual is not very technical, it's very visual and one that you can do in a matter of seconds using the MarketClub charts. You will see right away what I am talking about when you watch today's video.

Many traders are superstitious and like routines and little rituals. I first ran into this when I became a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. I used to watch with amusement as certain members of the exchange would have a special way they would enter the trading floor. Whatever their ritual was it had to be the same way every trading day otherwise in their mind it would be a bad trading day. Continue reading "Why The Last Trading Day Of February Is That Important"

5 Stocks On The Move Today

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere! Well I have to admit it, I did take a few days off to fly down to Cancun last week to get some sunshine and warm weather. If you're based anywhere on the East Coast, you know it has been very, very cold, the coldest weather we have had in 170 years! So I thought it was time to sneak off and get some warm weather for a few days.

When I come back from a trip, I immediately look at the Trade Triangles to see what is happening in the marketplace and what stocks are on the move. Today was no different, I simply clicked on the Trade Triangle button and I searched for stocks that were in uptrends, but had a continuation signal today. In simpler terms, I was looking for stocks that were in uptrends that had given a weekly Trade Triangle signal today indicating that the upward trend was once again resuming.

I filter the list down to stocks that have good volume and have traded on average over 2 million shares a day. When you look for stocks that have that type of trading volume, you know that the big boys, the hedge funds and institutional investors, are also looking at those same stocks as well, so you're in good company.

10 Interesting Stocks And 1 Amazing Trading Technique

In today's video, I'm going to be analyzing 10 stocks that look particularly interesting. Six of these stocks are in strong uptrends, while the remaining four are in various levels of transition.

Today's jobs report seems to be lending a positive short term feel in the stock market. We are at the end of the week, and I see lots of opportunities for trading the 52-week high on a Friday rules.

All you have to do is visit Smart Scan and choose 52 Week Highs, filter the results and bingo, you will have a list of target stocks to trade over the weekend.

This technique has been around for decades. I first learned the rules of this weekend approach from a trading friend of mine named Bill when I was trading in the pits in Chicago in the 80s. When Bill first told me about this technique I was skeptical. It was only after I followed these rules on paper for a while that I became a true believer. Believe me, a lot of money has been made using this technique. I made this video is a couple of years ago and nothing has changed in this trading technique, which goes to prove just how powerful this little weekend trading trick is.

Let's start looking at those 10 interesting stocks, some of which will lend themselves to the 52-week high on Friday rules.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Every success with MarketClub,

All Eyes On Crude Oil

Has crude oil bottomed out? That's the question on investors minds today as this market has moved up close to 10% in just the past few days. I have been warning of a rally based on the positive divergences I saw on the daily charts and the fact that the end of January marked the seventh month in a row that crude oil had closed lower.

Whether this is a dead cat bounce or a reversal of major proportions in the oil patch sector remains to be seen. Certainly, the market is getting close to making some major technical reversal signals and should they kick in I will, of course, follow them. What often happens with prolonged market trends whether they are on the upside or downside they tend to lull traders and investors to sleep who are expecting to see more of the same.

In today's video, I'll be looking at crude oil (CL.H15.E) and sharing with you the exact point where crude will reverse its downward trend and start a new bull trend. Whether this will be a dead cat bounce, meaning just a short covering rally or a true reversal to the upside remains to be seen. I'll be examining both scenarios in today.
