If you "snooze" you lose!

If I wasn’t still getting a steady stream of emails after reminding you of the prediction challenge, I would feel like that pesky alarm that you dread as your morning wake up call. Well consider this your final hit to the “snooze button!” We are embarking on the last week of the contest.

Contest? What contest, you ask? Wipe the sleep from those beautiful eyes of yours, charge that battery, and show everyone that you deserve to be a “trillionaire”, “the smartest man/woman of the universe”…and at the very least, the winner of an Android Tablet!

to submit your genius predictions for the DJI and DX for the end of QE2.

Still confused? Get caught up here!

Predictions DO pay off!

Bernanke’s speech was a huge news story, and talk of QE2 ending / QE3 possibilities is going to be an even bigger spring story. So, we decided to get in on the fun, and think you should too! Guess what you think the exact number of the Dow (DJI) or Dollar (DX) value will be on the close of June 30, and the winner receives….

100 Trillion Dollars! (well, some sort of 'dollars', and a place in history.)

Email your prediction (yes PREDICTION…ONE guess per person) to

Je******@in*.com











by June 1st (11:59 5/31/11). Simply posting your predictions in the comments section (while entertaining and appreciated) will not count as entering your vote. Plus, do you really want to give everyone access to your brilliant oracle insight?!

The most accurate guesses for the DJI and DX will win an Android Tablet so you can take MarketClub with you wherever you go. Follow your trades and make some “real” money with MarketClub.

We will announce who has won the title of The Smartest Man/Woman of the Universe on July 1st!

Best,
The MarketClub Team

Trader's Blog Contest For November

Isn't it hard to sit back and let someone else manage your money? If you are going take a loss wouldn't you rather it be your fault opposed to your broker?

Have you had an experience where you were talked into a overpriced mutual fund, paid an over inflated commission fee or been caught in a "churning cycle" where your broker is cashing in commission on pointless trades? What was your worst experience with a money manager or full service broker? I'm sure we have plenty of horror stories, so why not vent, share and win.

So the question is…

Trader's Blog Contest For October

There is no one technical analysis indicator that will win 100% of the time. There is no holy grail of charting... and if there is, then someone is keeping one hell of a secret. However, technical analysis techniques can help you make educated decisions, putting the odds on your side that you are on the favorable direction of a move.

So the question is...

"Besides MarketClub's 'Trade Triangles', what is your favorite technical analysis indicator?"

Prize

Winner will receive 6 workshops on technical analysis from our authors in INO TV. These MP3s and digital PDF workbooks will be mailed to you courtesy of INO TV.

Construction & Application Of The MACD Indicator

The Theory of Momentum & Lane's Stochastic - George Lane

The Relative Strength Index Explained - Andrew Cardwell

Classic Technical Analysis as a Powerful Trading Methodology - John Tirone

Applying Fibonacci Analysis to Price Action 1 - Joe DiNapoli

Applying Fibonacci Analysis to Price Action 2 - Joe DiNapoli

How To Enter:

Comment on this post telling us what your favorite technical analysis study is and why. There are no wrong answers.

We want to you to share your thoughts and stories with our other visitors. Here are some responses from in the office to get you started:

Bob F. : I'm a fan of the MACD. I like to backtest various exponential moving average and signal settings for different markets.

Melissa P. : Average True Range is one of my favorites. I don't use this indicator for any other reason that to see activity. I can quickly see how much a stock has been moving throughout the day and leave the stagnant stocks alone.

Kenny S. : I have been trying to study up on the concepts regarding standard deviation. I'm still learning about Bollinger bands, but it's something that is very interesting thus far.

Lindsay T. : The MACD is one of my favorites too. I use the MACD crosses to confirm the "Trade Triangle" signals. When the market is moving sideways, I don't always follow each and every "Trade Triangle" unless I have a confirming back up.
