Here’s a quick excerpt
We started the week on very light volume and a couple of inside days, meaning very tight trading ranges, even the volatility index has been coming down dropping down to about 52. FOMC Tuesday comes along, and with Fed rates already at 1% the expectations were for a 50bps to 75bps cut in rates. You wonder how much of an impact monetary policy will have on these markets at these levels, only the announcement would let us know. What an impact we had… the announcement came in and right from the start we started seeing large buy orders hitting the system. Almost 100 million shares of QQQQ traded in the last two hours, 150 million of the XLF traded as well, every pull back in the market in the afternoon was a long. Traders had to be reminded that you never test a trending market, meaning if the flow is […]

It’s been one hairy market out there during the past few months.  Over that period, we’ve seen nail-biting selloffs and toe-curling rallies of tremendous proportions.  Volatility has expanded to a degree not seen in many decades as the market has grappled with big issues like failing banks, several episodes of government intervention (bailouts), a presidential election, and the prospects of a bleak business outlook for the foreseeable future. More recently, we’ve seen the major averages sett

My first swing trading idea. BRCM. Even though it managed to close strongly on Monday, it looks like it is losing momentum. It has also formed a rising wedge on 15-min. chart. There are 2 possibilities how to manage this trade: Look at the action Thursday morning, if the broader market is weak, just short the stock at the open with the stop above 18$ and target at 15.00-15.50. Risk/Reward ~1/4 Short below 17.00-16.80. Stop above 18$. Target 15.00-15.50. Risk/Reward ~1/1.5 Profitable T

Dow Directions 12/15/08 December 15th, 2008 by Uncle Mike Well I guess I will be a parrot again…. Another wild day on Wall Street. We had a bearish engulfing candle candle put in today on the Dow. This does bodes well for tomorrow and prices would tend to extend in the same direction based upon this bearish candle formation. We closed just above the 0% retracement level and

One popular solution to financial freedom is through trading. Virtually every daytrader loses their entire account at some point. The reason for this is because daytrading offers high leverage, and the risk loving daytrader takes on way too much risk. In addition, they never even measure their risk! In contrast, swing traders hold their positions for several days, and sometimes weeks. Since margin requirements for swing trading are much higher, these traders cannot access as much leverage. To

Further upside room for KLCI (Business Times (Malaysia)) December 14th, 2008 A WINDOW-DRESSING attempt in the local stock market last week was overshadowed by extreme external volatility, as the unexpected rejection by the US Senate of the US$14 billion bailout plan for American carmakers late week increased fears that the global economic downturn will worsen.
