Summertime Trading

Summertime trading time again! Is it good or bad? Neither really. What trader need to understand is that summertime trading is just different. For newer traders, it could spell large losses as they fight to trade the same method in market moving differently than they are used to. There’s little question that to profit in the summertime something has to change and unfortunately for us, we are the ones that have to change our approach.

Grains traders are better equipped at changing their trading to meet ever-changing conditions, such as the seasons and the weather, which can have a dramatic effect on the markets they trade. For everyone, the summertime trading is a challenge. People are on vacation. Volume and volatility are low. Markets are choppy and directionless.

Learn How to Use the Darvas Box Trading Indicator

Like other trading strategies, the Darvas Box is a break out momentum strategy. Developed in 1956 by ballroom dancer Nicolas Darvas, this strategy enabled him to turn a $10,000 investment into $2,000,000 over 18 months. Naysayers attributed his success to the bull market that existed at the time, and were quick to say that similar results couldn’t have been achieved in a bear market. It is also said that Darvas achieved peace of mind from following his strategy, and was less hyped about the money that he made.

The Darvas Box uses fundamental analysis to determine which stocks to buy or sell, and technical analysis to determine when to trigger the trade and when to exit the market. Darvas’ fundamental philosophy was to invest in growth stocks. He looked at an increase in volume for confirmation in industries that he expected to grow. Then, he used the Darvas Box method for his entry and exit strategy.

Even though Darvas used this method for his stock portfolio, this indicator can be used on any trending market. In the S&P Daily Chart below, the Darvas Box is automatically drawn with bullish price action.

Learn How Institutional Traders Use Range Relativity and Time Rotation


In this article I will look at two proprietary Trading Safely indicators used by our institutional clients that in combination provide very powerful concepts in relation to understanding how markets ebb and flow through time and how markets reach points of over-extension or cycle inversion. The key driver of these studies is time. Time is the single most important factor in markets and generally overlooked by both inexperienced and experienced traders. Conceptually, time provides the door through which markets can move, price is the key to unlock the door. The final concept then in this analogy is the idea of having the space to move where the space is created by time as you will see in several examples I will provide. Initially I will explore the Range Relativity study followed by our Time Rotation study and then consider the implications of using the two in combination.

How Realistic Are You About Your Trading Reality?

Trading Reality
Your trading reality is not what you think it is: As you all know only too well the idea of being “realistic” is favoured by the linear part of your dualistic mind, alas it is just one of the many tricks your fickle mind plays on you. The saying: “I am an optimist and a realist.” covers us against criticism and accusations of walking through life with rose tined glasses.

What if I told you though that walking through life with rose tined glasses on purpose is actually not only good for your brain but also does amazing things for you manifestation skills.

What exactly is realism?
Realism basically is an illusion. There is no such thing because cannot be understood everyone’s reality is different. Your experiences are different from mine and your conditioning is also different from mine, no matter how many overlaps in our views may exist on a superficial level.

Reality is not the figure you see in your bank account but how you react to it at a deep level. At best the reality you are experiencing is a take of the past. It is not a take of the future or the present, simply because you can only change something today, right now and not tomorrow.

The Oxford dictionary describes being realistic as accepting things as they are in fact and not making decisions based on unlikely hopes…

This explanation creates many a wrong idea because your mind doesn’t know imagination from reality.

The mechanistic Newtonian model that seeks to predict future outcomes clearly is totally incorrect. We know that amazingly your attitude today not only changes the future but also has the power to change your past.

How can this be possible?
When you let go of your story and collapse it back into the zero point field you are accessing infinite possibilities. In that place there is only consciousness and potential.

If you learned to use this insight that the science of quantum physics brought to us with many experiments, some of which I described in The Buddhist Trader, your life and your trading reality would change!
Reality exists not as a clearly defined linear process which can be predicted, the Newtonian model, far from being mechanistic in nature realty unfolds as infinite potentials in the zero point field through the act of observation. Translated to your trading this clearly means that YOUR attitude and your powers of impassive observation in the present are THE KEYS to being a better trader.

You must learn to observe not what “is” but you must learn to observe with intention and a soft focus on an outcome that is “loving” for you. In trading this means trading strategies that allow you to make money.

Our lives only exist because we repeat the same old stories day after day, hour after hour, minute after minute. What you expose your half asleep mind to becomes reality.

For most of us our trading reality is victimhood. For most traders it is losing money.

Making changes is daunting, because your brain will resist a new program with all it’s might.
The HeartMath Institute carried out a fascinating study on human’s ability to transform potentiality into reality. By this I mean creating measurable change. The study concluded that when we set an intention while also being in what they call “heart coherence” as much as 25 % of your DNA changes in as little as a few minutes of observation.

The study proved that how you observe the world around you creates change, not reality you live in.
Heart coherence is a tough thing to create because your mind is dominated by the linear, logical side of your brain. Not only do you have to learn to open your heart space, you also need to learn to get out of your own way and become no-thing, no-time and no-identity.

I know that sounds downright scary doesn’t it?
We find it tough to get out of the way. It creates stress and disharmony on the brain which spends most of its time in incoherence already because of environmental toxic overload and really doesn’t need more challenges.

I discovered some immensely powerful ways in which we can help our challenged minds to change without getting into dreaded overwhelm.

Eliciting changes in your trading reality in a neuro friendly way gets around the issue of resistance to change and fear of losing your identity.
Fear of losing your identity is a big one. It produces core existentialist issues hence asking your mind to change is probably the worst thing you can do.

A big obstacle to change and ultimately the attainment of your gaols is toxic energy in the environment because it pushes your brain into overwhelm. The brain and your entire body are under permanent stress because of it.

It is constantly fighting against the toxins and that’s before you can even begin to focus on your goals. Small wonder that so many of us are having challenges.

In order to make change easy you have to convince your brain that it is safe and can relax. A tall order in an environment overflowing with harmful frequencies, toxic substances in the air and in the ground.

Your brain entrains to the energy in your environment.
When your brain is relaxed it automatically resets itself to homeostasis, rejuvenation and renewal. The challenge we have is to actually physically get into that state of relaxation long enough to elicit positive change and entice the brain to make new neural pathways.

Passive observation creates changes in your trading reality, if you observe the things that are good for your chosen trading reality.
What if you could observe harmony and beauty in your environment instead of chaos and fear and stress?

If I asked you to stop watching TV and stop exposing yourself to negative news most of you won’t be able to do it, because it is too big a step.

Our brains react to visual impact.
Your brain takes in 25% of something it sees for the first time, and only approximately 3% of what it hears for the first time. No wonder that videos are so popular. They brainwash you without your conscious awareness. Each time you watch a video and hear the speaker the visual and auditory impact on your brain are 28%. That is nearly a third of your brain power that is being programmed mostly with rubbish. Each time you watch the news you are re-instating a negative program.

So, why wouldn’t you choose to use the strategy which clearly works, hence the world at large is so depressed from all the bad news out there, and produce something of beauty and harmony instead?

It is actually much simpler than you think, if you know where to start.
Most people look in the wrong place and then wonder why they are not getting good results. By far the quickest, smoothest and gentlest way to instigate positive change is working on improving your environment.

Working on your environment is such a successful strategy because it reduces the stress from environmental toxins, thus raising the vibrational frequency in your environment and it creates subtle visual stimuli that entice your brain to relax and enjoy pleasant surprises.

I explain exactly how all this works in the completely overhauled course the Holistic Feng Shui course.

Holistic Feng Shui works on your brain. The strategy creates balance and peace and makes it easier to do the things you want to do to improve your life. This might be better trading, better relationships, better health and more peace in the world around us. We all want these things. The reason we don’t have them is because most of us don’t have the strategies to create these changes. Isn’t it time that you started making changes with a strategy that works instead of numbly repeating the same old things you did yesterday?

Trading Indicator Toolbox – DEMA - The Moving Average to Smooth Out Everything

DEMA Trading Indicator
INTRODUCTION

DEMA stands for Double Exponential Moving Average, and is a calculation based on both a single exponential moving average and a double exponential moving average.

In general, the EMA gives more weight to recent price data than the SMA. This implies that the EMA will follow the more recent price action more closely than the SMA. The more reactive, the quicker the change in trend.

The DEMA trding indicator calculation reduces the lag even more and the calculation is as follows:

DEMA = (2*EMA(n)) – (EMA(EMA(n))), where n = period

The main purpose of the moving average is to smooth out the price fluctuations and reduce the noise to a certain extent so that the trend becomes clear. However, smoothing creates a lag which results in later signals. DEMA allows achieving a smaller lag for the same amount of smoothing.

Trading Indicator Toolbox – D Three Ten Oscillator

D Three Ten Oscillator

The 3-10 oscillator takes the difference between the 3-period EMA and the 10-period EMA plotted in the chart and creates a histogram below the chart. The 16-period EMA is overlaid on the histogram as the signal line to help trigger earlier trading signals.

This is very much like a MACD presented as a histogram as in the case of the awesome oscillator which uses the 5-34-5 simple moving averages in its calculation. The 3-10 uses the EMA and crosses more frequently, producing more signals. I enjoy using the 3-10 oscillator when looking for subtle divergences which I will illustrate shortly.

Learn to Use the Correlation Coefficient Trading Indicator

INTRODUCTION

The correlation coefficient measures the degree to which 2 instruments’ movements are related. A correlation of -1.0 means perfect negative correlation, and 1.0 is perfect positive correlation. When 2 instruments’ movements mirror each other, they are positively correlated. When 2 instruments move in the opposite direction to each other, they are negatively correlated.

This statistic is useful in various ways. For example, it is used to diversify a portfolio; if all the stocks, mutual funds or ETFs have high positive correlation, the portfolio is hardly diversified. By adding a negatively correlated asset to the mix, diversification benefits are realized.

In currency trading, taking positions in 2 instruments that are highly correlated will have a positive affect if the direction is correct and a negative affect if the direction is incorrect. By having positions in 2 instruments that are not so highly correlated, the two together will moderate both gains and losses.

The calculation is as follows:

If avgV1 = average price of instrument1 for the period, avgV1Sq = average of V1*V1 for the period, avgV1V2 = average price of V1*V2 for the period, var1 = avgV1Sq – avgV1 * avgV1, covar = avgV1V2 – avgV1 * avgV2; Then: CC = covar / SquareRoot (var1 * var2).

Ryder Systems Trading Journal with VantagePoint $R

Ryder Systems has been in a persistent downtrend since the beginning of March 2017. However, there was a major reversal signal from VantagePoint’s predicted moving average on May 24th. This is a signal for a potential new opportunity to get long the market.

$R came up through the evening scan of VantagePoint’s predicted crossovers on May 24th. Since the market had already made such a large run up on the 24th, we looked to enter the market at the May 25th predicted low value of $65.76 for a lower entry price for the initial position.

Brain Coherance and Trading

Over the last 10 years neuro scientists are unearthing many a valuable discovery on the workings of the mind. The knowledge, when applied correctly, can help you immensely to improve your trading. The importance of brain coherence to all our activities is a very recent discovery.

Let’s look at what brain coherence is all about:

Brain coherence simply means that all parts of your brain are functioning in unison with each other. No part of the brain is favoured over the other and all parts “know their job” springing into action for the task they are designed for instead of acting when they are not supposed to.

Trading issues arise when for whatever reason brain cohesion is not present. I would go as far as to say that all trading fears are caused by a lack of brain cohesion.

The root cause for the malfunctioning of the brain is manifold, ranging from early life trauma to shock resulting from sudden loss, or other life transforming events. The mind needs time to process and adjust and while this is going on your trading can seriously suffer.

Coppock Curve Trading Indicator
INTRODUCTION
The Coppock Curve is a momentum trading indicator which attempts to capture trending markets. Even though Edwin Coppock introduced the indicator in Barron’s in October 1965 for stocks, it can be applied to any market, from forex to stocks to commodities. Many indicators which determine trend are called directional indicators, meaning they show whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend. This indicator was originally designed to identify long-term buying opportunities in the S&P500 and Dow Industrials specifically on the monthly chart. In the S&P monthly chart below, the buying opportunity is triggered when the indicator moves from negative to positive territory above the zero line. One would exit a long position when the indicator moves from positive to negative territory below the zero line. These sell signals could be used to exit the stock market and move into cash, in order to reduce market exposure during bear markets.

While it was not used for sell signals, traders today have adapted this indicator for other markets besides the stock indexes and have used it for sell signals as well.

The calculation is as follows:

Coppock Curve = 10-period WMA of 14-period RoC + 11-period RoC

Where WMA = Weighted moving average and RoC = Rate-of-Change

Learn How to use the Commodity Channel Index trading indicator

The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is an indicator which attempts to distinguish between trending and extreme markets. Even though the name suggests it applies only to commodities, it works on any market, from forex to stocks to commodities. Many indicators which determine trend are called directional indicators, meaning they show whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend. This indicator is more of an oscillator, as it measures the current price level relative to the average over a specified period. CCI is high when prices are above the average (overbought), and low when prices are below the average (oversold). The indicator was originally designed to identify long-term trend changes but has been adapted by traders to use on all time frames.

The CCI fluctuates around the zero line, with approximately 75% of the values falling between +100 and -100. About 25% of the values will fall above +100 or below -100, indicating strong trending markets. The longer the period, the more likely the CCI will remain inside the +100 to -100 range. A shorter CCI (10 periods for example) will be more volatile and provide a higher percentage outside of the range.

Scalping Stocks

Scalping Stocks is not for the faint of Heart. It requires extreme discipline, knowledge of charting patterns, Candle stick patterns, Stochastic’s, MACD, Volume and understanding the particular Stock’s Behaviour. However in this article I will explain my take on Scalping Stocks and the steps I take for these types of Long or Short Scalp trades to make it easier.

To Begin with you must realise that I do not aimlessly crawl through the UK and US Equity markets purposely looking for potential Scalping opportunities. My Scalping Stocks strategy is born out of the Mid and Longer term trades I have open on both Daily and Weekly Charts. The first RULE for Scalping Stocks is to understand the overall direction of the stock that you are going to Scalp. I fully understand this with my trades as I do so much work on the Mid/Long term trades in which my Scalps are taken from. I truly understand he Stocks Direction and its behaviour before I enter a Scalp trade. In Essence I use my Scalping Stocks Strategy to initially Hedge against my potential 1% Loss that I risk on the Main Mid/Long Term. Then I use them to Turbo Boost my Profits!

3 Common Pitfalls of Active Trading

It’s 3am. You should be sleeping. But instead you are trading the European FX session while simultaneously looking for liquidity in the e-mini S&P’s on Globex. Yes, the 24 hour global market place has created a new paradigm of non-stop action, but this isn’t necessarily good for your sleeping habits or your trading account.

Trying to Beat the High Frequency Traders
The most important point to know about high-frequency trading is that it now dominates the micro-scalping timeframe. If you have been trying to scalp a nickel out of markets with high liquidity on the bid and offer, you have no doubt run into these pesky algos. Often, what they want to do is make the spread by buying and selling for electronic communications network rebates and catch a penny or two in price movement.

So if you are looking to get ECN rebates by buying on the bid and quickly selling on the offer, you are competing against the world’s most powerful computers, and you are likely getting beat by their speed and execution efficiency. Chances are that by constantly jumping in after getting wiggled out, you are now overtrading. If you are able to lengthen your time horizon and lower your position size, you may start to see through the noise of high-frequency trading and hang on for the eventual moves that used to shake you out.



Failing to Analyze your Trading
Whether it’s a winner or a loser, if you’ve clicked the mouse and moved on to your next entry (especially if you are newer trader) without analyzing the results, you are missing an important step.

A winning trade is defined as a trade executed according to the plan of a high probability, clean setup, high reward to risk, an entry, a target and a stop loss. When executed, whether or not the trade makes money, it’s a winning trade. If the objective of the trade is to make money, then one is not focusing on the process of trading.

Instead, that’s focusing on outcomes which are determined by the market. Traders must begin thinking in terms of process: a winning trade is one that’s properly executed. If it’s a high-probability setup, then it’s likely that more trades will make money than lose money. When you are over trading all the focus becomes on “How much did I make,” instead of “Did I trade according to a well-executed plan?”

Trading the Chop
All too often, over active traders are in the market in the middle of a move. Instead of entering a position at the beginning of a trend or getting out as the directional move shows early signs of weakening, they place trades when the markets are moving sideways and lack clear direction. It is hard to make consistent profits during these market conditions. Certain trading tools can help you trade with the trend. One is VantagePoint Intermarket Analysis Software, which produces predictive technical indicators that offer reliable, accurate trend forecasts each day for hundreds of global markets. It is through these leading indicators VantagePoint can provide early clues to traders about trend changes. For active traders, using a tool like VantagePoint can help squash that urge to over trade and help you get some much needed shut eye.

Learn bout the Choppiness Index Trading Indicator

The Choppiness Index (CI) is an indicator which attempts to distinguish between trending and sideways markets. Many indicators which determine trend are called directional indicators, meaning they show whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend. This indicator shows whether the market is trending or not, and that trend can be up or down; it doesn’t matter. It is up to the trader to use it to confirm their view of the market they are trading. With this indicator, higher values mean more choppiness, and lower values mean directional or trend trading. See the weekly S&P Index above and notice the trending areas in red and the choppy areas in blue.

The formula variables include the Average True Range over the past n candles, as well as the highest high over the past n candles. The values always fall within a certain range between 0 and 100. The closer the calculation is to 0, the stronger the market is trending. The thresholds used to determine trending or sideways are Fibonacci ratios. Any number above 61.8 signifies sideways or choppy markets, and any number below 38.2 identifies with a trending market, whether up or down. The upper zone is chop and the lower zone is trend.

This indicator is more of a confirmation, since it lags, then a leading indicator; nonetheless, it can be a useful, visual representation of the market cycle.

Analyzing the Oil and Gas Industry for the Right Stocks

The oil and gas industry poses a challenge in identifying the right stocks for long term success. But some expert analysis can help. Successful Stock trading and investing can require a good deal of technical analysis specific to the sector you’re considering investing in.

The oil and gas sector offers lucrative earning opportunities, but identifying the golden stocks out there could be challenging. There are some ways to do it though, by understanding the nature of the industry and the economic climate. Experts point out certain things to consider.

Vital Ratios to Gauge the Health of the Oil Company
Analysts consider the profitability ratios and the sustainability ratios of oil companies to analyze how they perform. That’s because unlike other manufacturing companies, oil and gas corporations don’t just grab raw materials for producing goods. They produce the end product from depleting natural resources. They need to constantly replace what they have produced. The aforementioned ratios therefore give a clear picture of the performance of these companies. It’s always important to gauge the future viability of oil companies since they deal with non-renewable energy sources that are getting exhausted.

Chartmill Value Indicator

The Chartmill value indicator (CVI) is a short-term oscillator which denotes overbought and oversold markets. Just as other oscillators such as the RSI or MACD try to define buying and selling zones, so too does the CVI but in a slightly different way. The RSI is a range-bound oscillator which can remain in overbought territory for quite a while if the market is in a strong uptrend. The MACD is a smoothing oscillator, as it uses moving averages to smooth out the noise and suffers from the same lagging issue of moving averages on price charts. The CVI attempts to find value in the stock whereby a trader will buy the stock when price aligns with their notion of value, since perceived value will vary from trader to trader. After all, isn’t that what makes the market?

Trading Market Trend Reversal Signals

Some say that Price Reversals can be brutal and sudden because when an existing mature trend is in place, it can catch complacent traders off guard. Trend Reversal trades are notoriously hard to spot in the early stages as at first, they are simply in a pullback phase and it’s only when the pullback breaks a few rules then it becomes a potential Market Trend Reversal Signals trade.

For me, Swing trading a potential Market Trend Reversal Signals is the only way and only on a Daily or even Weekly time-frame for longer term trades. Every trader has their own set of rules and strategies for Trend Reversal and I am no different. I prefer to understand the previous, mature, trend and its behaviour within Elliott Wave basic principles.

What Really Drives Price Action in the Financial Markets?

In their quest to make money from the markets, few traders stop to think and ask themselves a very basic question about Price Action “Why does price move?”

We accept that most of the time, prices action develops in a relatively orderly manner. Traders tend not to worry about why that is. It just is.

Did you ever stop to think about:

Why prices don’t simply remain unchanged?
In a given market, why must price move at all?
For that matter, when it does move, why doesn’t it move just randomly?
How is it we don’t see the Crude trade at 49.99 one moment, 70.89 the next, and 5.00 just after that?

Many explain price action as a result of supply and demand, but supply and demand for what, exactly? A crude futures trader is trading futures contracts and not crude itself. Sure, if you hold the contract ‘till expiry, you are going to end up taking delivery of the actual oil. Most traders don’t do that. The contracts we trade are created and eliminated as people trade with each other. In other words, the supply is effectively infinite for futures. So how does an imbalance of supply and demand cause movements in price when supply is infinite? It doesn’t. With stocks, there are a limited number of shares issued. Limited resources theoretically becomes a factor. Most of the time though, scarcity in shares is simply not a factor behind price action and is absolutely not the cause of each individual change in price. Can you imagine almost running out of shares and then suddenly there being too many each tick up and down?

A Simple Guide to Our Favorite Technical Indicator: The Ichimoku Cloud

The Ichimoku Cloud is a technical analysis method that uses sets of moving averages to produce key levels in the past, present, and future. The Cloud helps traders identify at a single glance if a security or other financial product is trading in bullish or bearish territory. Ichimoku Kinko Hyo literally translates to ‘One Glance Equilibrium Chart’ because it can be used for analysis using only a glance. For this reason, the Cloud is one of the most efficient technical indicators available.

The Ichimoku Cloud is made up of 6 key components, each of which we will examine individually. When these 6 components are combined, they form the Ichimoku Cloud. As can be seen below, the Cloud is actually a forward-looking indicator. The Cloud is projected 26 periods forward, so the levels under the current price were formed 26 days ago. The Cloud is unique in that is uses both past data and forward-looking levels. Since the levels are forward looking they tend to be more reliable than simple moving averages. The lagging indicator component also provides confirmation of breakouts by looking 26 periods back to determine if a stock is likely to break through levels. It is this concept of looking at the past, present and future that makes the Cloud so valuable.

Learn How to use the Chaiken Money Flow & Oscillator Trading Indicator

Since both Chaikin Money Flow and Oscillator rely on the Accumulation Distribution line discussed in the article published November 29, 2016, it is worth reviewing here. The Accumulation/ Distribution line is designed as a momentum oscillator, and is best used on daily, weekly and monthly stock charts, in conjunction with volume. When there is strong buying pressure with high volume, this pushes the indicator higher and strong selling pressure with reduced volume pushes the indicator lower. The Accumulation/ Distribution line either reaffirms the trend or gives a warning that the trend is about to change direction. As prices continue higher with the Accumulation/ Distribution line pointing lower, this suggests selling pressure (distribution) which could forecast a trend change in the underlying market. When prices trend down, and the A/D line points up, this suggests buying pressure (accumulation) and is a bullish reversal signal for the underlying market.
