Does this one chart line spell doom for the markets?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Make no mistake about it, last week was a very important week for the stock market. Looking on the weekly equity charts, you will see one of the most powerful Japanese candlestick lines. This one line on the chart indicates that there could be some major problems ahead for the stock market.

In my new video I explain what this line is and how it can play out in the short and longer-term time frames.

Do you know about market divergences?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

In the market there are two types of market divergences that can occur: a bullish divergence and a bearish divergence. Both of these divergences are important and you need to know how they work and how you can benefit from this knowledge.

In this short educational trading video, I will show you the tools I use to spot market divergences. We will be using the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) which was developed by a friend and mine, Gerald Appel.

One year later, reality sets in

Posted on by The INO.com Team

It's been just a little over a year since we had our first major buy signal for the S&P 500 at 888.70 on 5/4/09. Since that time, the S&P 500 has climbed approximately 61.8% from the lows that were seen in early March of '09 and the highs that were seen in October of '07.

We take our "Trade Triangle" technology very seriously and this signal today (5/25) at 1044.50 is our first major sell signal since 7/1/08 at 1,272.00 and should not be ignored.

There are a whole host of problems that are coming due around the world that will have negative consequences for the equity markets. The problems in Greece and Europe are well known and are likely to continue for the balance of the year. This is going to have a negative impact on markets in general.

After yesterday, you need this to survive the future

Posted on by The INO.com Team

It is always interesting to live through history. However, I think many traders, or should say investors would probably like to forget about the history making market action on Thursday.

I just wanted to write a short post and show you where we stand with our "Trade Triangle" technology.

One of the advantages of using MarketClub's "Trade Triangles" is that you don't have to worry about the problems in Greece, nor do you have to worry about earnings reports, downgrades, supply and demand statistics, and all of the millions of other things that make up the price of a stock or a commodity.

An inescapable reality of the market, that effects all of us, is perception. This one characteristic can trump earnings reports, good news, and any other market changing force that comes out. For the last 12 months, the perception has been that things are getting better, and that pushed the market higher. Perception may have changed yesterday as investors are now once again beginning to worry about the euro, sovereign debt, and the value of paper currencies.

So here is how we stand in the major markets with our "Trade Triangle" technology: Continue reading "After yesterday, you need this to survive the future" →

Reading the Tape

Posted on by The INO.com Team

An important tool in the successful trader's arsenal is the ability to read the tape and today I've asked Adam Halpern from IndicatorWarehouse.com to give us some insight into what he sees and how he manages to read the tape. Please enjoy the article, comment below, and check out IndicatorWarehouse.com.

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

As an experienced trader in the S&P500 going back to the early 90’s, just after the contract was developed, I am constantly watching myself to be sure I am keeping things simple.

When you really stand back and look at the daily S&P500 you have several things that keep reoccurring throughout a trading session.  With that being the case, you have to constantly be sure you are not overly complicating the day trading process.
