At The Close by Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 23:7 (97): At The Close by Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan
It doesn't hurt to remember that the simplest of indicators can provide a great deal of information. I'm looking at the daily chart of the Standard & Poor's 500 index when I say this because I can't think of a better example of the behavior of the 50-day simple moving
average (SMA). Note from the chart in Figure 1 how it acts as a resistance level. The average is sloping down, and on May 9, 2005 and the following day,
prices hit that level and moved down. I have actually used this indicator for my long-term investments...

Look Back Before You Leap by Richard Bergner
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Look to the past to predict the future: It's a new way to predict commodity price action as you study a chart.
How can you find good trading opportunities? Imagine, if you will, all the ways you've read or heard about how to do so. But if you're aware of those opportunities, you can be sure that others are as well, thus lessening your chances of profiting from them. If you want a different way to identify good trading opportunities, why not examine a market's behavior in reverse? That's right -- look to the past to mark trends that have a good chance of materializing, as you step toward the fu...

Rising And Falling Overnight Sessions by Anthony Trongone, Ph.D.
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...

Targeting Your Pattern by Massimiliano Scorpio
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 23:7 (58-63): Targeting Your Pattern by Massimiliano Scorpio
Two-bar patterns: How to select, reorganize, and trade them.
Previously, my articles were focused on finding your favorite configurations using EasyLanguage (EL). I started using a very simple methodology (the reversal pattern) and then continued observing the relationship
between the open and the close, respective to the previous bar (hot zones).
In this article I use a more sophisticated approach to
show a "complete" way to select, recognize, and come
up with statistics on specific two-bar patterns. You w...

ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 23:7 (16-24): The Tape-Reading Edge by Thomas Carr, Ph.D.
Tape-reading skills are a product of your intuition. Here's how you can sharpen your intuitive power into a tremendous profit-making talent.
First, it must be said that tape-reading is
a kind of luxury, at least these days. It
is not necessary to tape-read to be a
successful trader; tape-reading gives you an extra edge -- an edge that takes your trading to the next stage of excellence. Sound tapereading skills are essential for getting the best possible entry, holding onto winning trades beyond your profit targ...

Websites For Traders: SeekingAlpha.com by David Penn
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 23:7 (36): Websites For Traders: SeekingAlpha.com by David Penn
SEEKINGALPHA.COM
One reason you don't tend to read too many restaurant reviews written while the reviewer is still sampling the cuisine is obvious: How can the reviewer provide a complete evaluation of the meal if he or she hasn't eaten the whole thing--appetizer to dessert? Something similar strikes me as I set out to introduce a fascinating new website called Seeking Alpha--or, more accurately, seekingalpha.com. While I haven't even come close to perusing all that this website has to offer in the way of n...
