How to spot winning trades

Posted on by The INO.com Team

In today's video we share with you how to use one of the many features in MarketClub, our Smart Scan technology. Using Smart Scan, you can easily spot winning stocks, futures, precious metals, and currencies that meet one of 24 preset scanning criteria, including uptrends or downtrends.

As traders we have 3 potential positions we can take at all times: (1) We can be long the market (2) We can be short the market (3) We can be on the sidelines and out of the market (options allow you to do other things but I want to keep it simple today).

Using our Smart Scan technology and filtering out the noise can help find some of the real nuggets that are out there.

As always our videos are free to watch and there are no registration requirements. If you'd like to comment on this video please do so on our blog.

Enjoy.
