Create A Stock Market Trading Plan

singaporetraderreports (December 28th, 2008) Writes:

A stock market trading plan will not guarantee your success in the markets, but a good plan will enable you to work methodically toward your stock market trading goals while reviewing on a regular basis what is working and what is not. It will act as a roadmap for your trading journey. It will enable you to respond positively and constructively no matter what happens with your individual trades.

Finally, stock market trading is a business. It can be a fascinating and sometimes thrilling business, but in the end it is a business. A trading plan helps you treat it as a business.

The Key to Surving the market- Position Size

singaporetraderreports (December 12th, 2008) Writes:

The legendary commodities trader Ed Seykota, who turned $5,000 into $15 million over a period of 12 years, was teaching a course in technical trading to a college class many years ago when he decided to conduct an experiment to illustrate to his students the value of money management, or position-sizing - that is, determining how much money you will risk on any single given trade - to the overall success of any trader’s trading plan.

He told his class they were going to compete in a trading contest with each other. Each student would start with a hypothetical equity stake of $100,000. The winner, of course, would be the student with the most money at the end of the contest. However, there was a catch: Each student would buy and sell the same stocks at the same exact time, meaning those stocks would rise or fall exactly the …

Surf with the Tide to Catch Better Waves

singaporetraderreports (December 12th, 2008) Writes:

Once new traders reach a certain level of proficiency in market analysis and trade execution the majority of their trading mistakes generally fall into two categories: trading psychology and trend-relativity errors. The first is an issue of self-control. The latter refers to an equally common problem: often a trade will look beautiful on one chart (in one time frame), but ill-advised at best on another chart (another time frame).

A market that looks like it is beginning an uptrend in the daily time frame, for example, may be only pulling back into resistance on the weekly chart, where the momentum and trend are down. The problem is magnified even further with intraday charts, where trends in multiple time frames often conflict with each other.

To combat this problem, trader and trading coach Alexander Elder invented the Triple Screen System, which he outlined in his now-classic book Trading for a Living. (Buy it. …

Investment Management - Put More Smart Cash In Your Future

Steve Selengut (December 3rd, 2008) Writes:

The stock market is a dynamic place where investors can consistently make reasonable returns on their capital if they comply with the basic principles of the endeavor and if they don’t measure their progress too frequently against irrelevant indices.

The income securities market is most often a less dynamic place where investors can consistently make reasonable returns on their capital if they understand the basic principles of the endeavor and if they focus steadfastly on the income produced by their holdings.

Securities markets are truly fascinating— replete with promise, mystery, and unscripted daily drama. But individual investors are even more interesting. We’ve become media driven creatures that must have reasons, predictability, blame, scapegoats, instant gratification, and an imaginary sprite called certainty.

We are becoming a culture of hindsightful speculators, attempting to replace the raw beauty of unpredictable market and economic cycles with …

Value Stock Investing - The November Syndrome On Drugs

Steve Selengut (November 18th, 2008) Writes:

Every fall, especially in opportunity rich markets like this, I encourage investors to think about some year-end strategies that make the final calendar quarter a special time in all markets. Several forces are at work, all of which have links to conventional Wall Street wisdom; none of which promote good long-term investment decision-making.

This year, we have the added excitement of anticipating a new, perhaps economically too liberal, administration taking over with an already implanted, and demonstatably inept, congress. The markets are in a truly unprecedented state of “uncertainty overload”. What’s an investor to do— or not to do?

Typically, the November syndrome has features that impact in both directions. It causes weak prices to fall even further and strong prices to climb higher. This year, the strong category requires a microscope for candidate viewing, while the weak seem to …

Stock Market Meltdown - Watching Rome Burn

Steve Selengut (September 24th, 2008) Writes:

Both presidential candidates want to crucify SEC Chairman Cox for failing to control our creative financial institutions. But rumor has it that Congress specifically excluded the devilish derivatives from SEC purview. Let’s fire the right bunch of “poips” for a change!

Scary markets are brought about by many factors, some normal, and some not so normal. It’s often helpful to look backwards before getting too paranoid about the present. The S & L crisis of the early 80s might be an appropriate starting point.

Later that decade, a multi-year rally had its head lopped off by high interest rates, high inflation, and a computer loop. Ten years later, another soaring market was toppled by economic factors. The turn of the century witnessed the bloody demise of the no-value-at-all dot-com illusion.

A profit taking strategy during the rally days was all that was …
