Trading Companies With Split Personalities by Anthony Trongone
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...When the regular trading session gains momentum, is the market more likely to produce additional gains? Here's how the companies in the QQ Q Q perform during regular trading sessions versus overnight trading sessions. Although seven years have passed since then, the trades based on my two 2004 articles about the advantages of taking a long position in the overnight session are still delivering attractive profits. In these articles, I made a case for splitting the trading day into two separate sessions. By trading in the hours of darkness in the three years I investigated...

Comparative Trading Volume by Anthony Trongone
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...The first part of this series looked at how price action can be used to anticipate future price movement in the S&P 500 Sp d r exchange traded fund. This time, we add trading volume to the mix, but not in the typical way. As technicians, we depend primarily on two variables to augment our predictive ability: price and volume. In my previous article, the emphasis was on using yesterday's action to determine the price movement of the Standard & Poor's 500 depositary receipt (Sp d r) exchange traded fund (Sp y), also known as spiders...

Bear Market Survival Kit by Anthony Trongone, PhD, CFP, CTA
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Bear Market Survival Kit by Anthony Trongone, PhD, CFP, CTA Any system can produce stellar results when it suggests taking a position in the same direction of a trending market. But what do you do when the market quickly changes direction? Few if any trading systems work across all economic environments. As you know, any system can produce superlative results when it suggests taking a position in the same direction of a trending market. However, the performance of these same systems is rendered ineffective as soon as the market changes direction. This article shows how you can capture profi...
Situational Trading by Anthony Trongone, PhD, CFP, CTA
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Situational Trading by Anthony Trongone, PhD, CFP, CTA How do you know the markets are beginning to recover? D uring periods of downslides, many cautious investors remain on the sidelines until signs of recovery emerge. Fortunately, trading activity can spot the beginning of a recovery. Sometimes, however, it can be a challenge; in the past several years, a variety of trending landscapes have presented themselves, making that hunt something of a trial. Sometimes we do ourselves a disservice by including all the different trading patterns that have popped up into the same study. The days n...
On The Precipice Of The Nearest Dollar Increment by A. Trongone, Phd, CFP, CTA
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...On The Precipice Of The Nearest Dollar Increment by A. Trongone, Phd, CFP, CTA In a bear market, any piece of information that will give traders a slight edge in performance is always welcome. Here's how a stock performs when it is trading in the vicinity of the nearest dollar increment. Success often results from analyzing the smallest pieces of information. On a daily basis, some price patterns may appear unimportant; over a series of trading days, however, they can contribute significantly to your profitability. With the continuing downtrend in worldwide markets, existing trading systems ...

ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 24:10 (34-36): Trading In Restrictive Intraday Price Ranges by Anthony Trongone, Ph.D., CFP, CTA When the commodity markets are moving in a narrow price range, are there any trading opportunities? Discover how you can find them and take immediate action in the e-mini NASDAQ 100. The commodities markets are notorious for their price fluctuations. Still, there are occasions when they appear directionless. But after experiencing two hours of relatively narrow price movements, does it offer us a (profitable) trading opportunity? Let's take a look, confining our analysis t...
Trade The Chart, Not The System by Anthony Trongone, Ph.D., CFP, CTA
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 24:6 (44-47): Trade The Chart, Not The System by Anthony Trongone, Ph.D., CFP, CTA This is why you need to constantly monitor the performance of your trading system. Changing economic conditions can affect the performance of any trading system. Therefore, developing the discipline to periodically monitor the performance of your systems becomes a constructive exercise, one that can increase profits or prevent loss. The proactive trading system (referred to as "GIA," which stands for "generating interactive assets") is a successful strategy for taking a position 60 mi...
Trading In The Middle Zone by Anthony Trongone
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 24:12 (32-36): Trading In The Middle Zone by Anthony Trongone Having trouble trading at the start of the day? This strategy will help you find your trading spot. There are many articles about entering the market at the open; there are many articles about entering the market toward the close. Few articles, however, focus on trading during the middle portion of trading, which I'll call the "middle zone." This is unfortunate because this less glamorous time frame (10:35?14:55 Eastern time) represents two-thirds of the overall trading day. Although the opening of the trad...

ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 23:7 (26-32): Rising And Falling Overnight Sessions by Anthony Trongone, Ph.D. Don't overlook how the performance of an individual stock affects the direction of an index-tracking stock or commodity. Here's an example using the NASDAQ 100. If history is any guide, knowing how and when individual companies perform within an index-tracking stock or commodity will help you identify profitable trading opportunities. Keeping track of the results could allow you to see a positive impact on your returns as the trading day comes to a close. To find out how this works, I foc...
Overnight Trading by Anthony Trongone, Ph.D.
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Overnight Trading by Anthony Trongone, Ph.D. Trading that occurs after the regular trading session can dictate future action. Here's how you take advantage of this information. Many readers wrote to me about my article in the January 2004 STOCKS & COMMODITIES. Since my findings were unsupportive of the earlier writings of some other "authorities," they were curious as to why such a phenomenon was unfolding. In this article, I'll begin by discussing possible causes responsible for or contributing to recent unorthodox pricing patterns that appear to contradict traditional expectations of techn...

Trading In A Sideways Market by Anthony Trongone
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 22:12 (22-27): Trading In A Sideways Market by Anthony Trongone When the markets are trading in a narrow range, you are likely to become susceptible to emotional trading. But if you follow the emerging patterns of a sideways market, you can trade successfully. Without a thorough understanding of how a sideways market functions, trading in such a featureless environment can easily diminish the assets in your portfolio. You can achieve some success from trading without adequate knowledge; unfortunately, it will come without the benefit of sound planning. Although you ma...
