How to Avoid Taking Profits Too Quickly and Staying with Losing Trades Too Long
Does this sound familiar…

“Most of the time I earn a few pips and close out the trade because I want to catch it while it is still profitable. But when the trade goes against me I will hang onto it too long thinking it will come back to profitability but I get scared and close it out so I end up losing more. And then, what’s really frustrating is that the trade ends up moving in the direction of my original trade. How can I learn to ‘stick with my trade’ ?”

This is a great question and it is something that all...

The Benefits Of ETF Investing
It was State Street Global Advisors that launched the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) in 1993 with the introduction of the SPDR. Since then, ETFs have continued to grow in popularity and gather assets at a rapid pace. The easiest way to understand ETFs is to think of them as mutual funds that trade like stocks. Of course, trading like a stock is just one of the many features that make ETFs so popular, particularly with professional investors and individual investors who are active traders. Let's go over these attractive features. (For a background on what ETFs are and how they work, check out...

4 Factors That Shape Market Trends
Trends are what allow traders and investors to capture profits. Whether on a short- or long-term time frame, in an overall trending market or a ranging environment, the flow from one price to another is what creates profits and losses. There are four major factors that cause both long-term trends and short-term fluctuations. These factors are governments, international transactions, speculation and expectation, and supply and demand. (For more, see Trading Trend Or Range?)

9 Misconceptions About Managed Futures
The sales pitch: "During periods of great future uncertainty …" though "future certainty" seems like any oxymoron, so a translation: "during periods of investor anxiety about the markets, you should consider managed futures which offer attractive returns in bull and bear markets as well as reduces risk by providing diversification." Sounds fantastic, I’ll take two please. Unfortunately, it’s not really that simple. It is time we take a closer look at the common misconceptions about Managed Futures and why investors today should just take a pass.

Divergence: The Trade Most Profitable
Because trends are composed of a series of price swings, momentum plays a key role is assessing trend strength. As such, it is important to know when a trend is slowing down. Less momentum does not always lead to a reversal, but it does signal that something is changing, and that the trend may consolidate or reverse.

Price momentum refers to the direction and magnitude of price. Comparing price swings helps traders gain insight into price momentum. Here, we'll take a look at how to evaluate price momentum and show you what divergence in momentum can tell you about the direction of a...

Put-Call Parity And Arbitrage Opportunity
An important principle in options pricing is called a put-call parity. It says that the value of a call option, at one strike price, implies a certain fair value for the corresponding put, and vice versa. The argument, for this pricing relationship, relies on the arbitrage opportunity that results if there is divergence between the value of calls and puts with the same strike price and expiration date. Arbitrageurs would step in to make profitable, risk-free trades until the departure from put-call parity is eliminated. Knowing how these trades work can give you a better feel for how put options,...

Goals For Novice Traders
When you begin trading, there are a lot of questions. With all the information out there it can be hard to filter through and decide where to start. Setting goals can help, but often novice traders set the wrong type of goals when they decide to start trading. With this is in mind, as a novice trader your initial goals should help you to eventually make money, but making money should not be your goal. Instead, opt to make your initial goals about process and emulating traits of professional traders.

10 Steps To Building A Winning Trading Plan
There is an old saying in business: "Fail to plan and you plan to fail." It may sound glib, but those who are serious about being successful, including traders, should follow these eight words as if they were written in stone. Ask any trader who makes money on a consistent basis and they will tell you, "You have two choices: you can either methodically follow a written plan, or fail."

If you have a written trading or investment plan, congratulations! You are in the minority. While it is still no absolute guarantee of success, you have eliminated one major roadblock. If your plan uses...

How the power of the masses drives the market
The incessant intraday struggle stock market between the bulls and the bears is what drives market rallies and precipitates market declines. Regardless of the style of analysis or system employed by traders, one primary aim of their trading endeavors is to understand the degree of control held by the bulls or bears at any given time, and to predict who should hold power in the near to distant future. Unfortunately, traders' natural desire to follow the crowds often gets in the way of seeing this clearly. Here we'll take a look at how psychology and behavioral finance propel bull and bear markets.

Playing The Gap
Playing The Gap

Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a stock (or another financial instrument) moves sharply up or down, with little or no trading in between. As a result, the asset's chart shows a "gap" in the normal price pattern. The enterprising trader can interpret and exploit these gaps for profit. This article will help you understand how and why gaps occur, and how you can use them to make profitable trades.

What is the best time of the day to trade?
Unlike traditional investing, trading, or day trading, has a very short-term focus. Analysis may be broken down to days, hours and even minutes. Because day trading focuses on such short time frames, the time of day in which a trade is made can be an important factor to consider.

First thing in the morning, market volumes and prices can go wild. The opening hours represent the window in which the market factors in all of the news releases since the previous closing bell, which contributes to price volatility.

Introduction To Momentum Trading
In momentum trading, traders focus on stocks that are moving significantly in one direction on high volume. Momentum traders may hold their positions for a few minutes, a couple of hours or even the entire length of the trading day, depending on how quickly the stock moves and when it changes direction. Here we take a look at momentum trading, and examine a typical day in the life of this type of active trader. (For background reading, see [i]What technical tools can I use to measure momentum?[/i])

Traders: Work Less, Make More Money
Trading is one area where less work can often mean more money for the trader. Many stock traders spend hours doing research, but is spending this amount of time necessary for the average trader? Hedge fund managers and traders who control a large amount of capital need to do research in order to find high probability places to invest all that capital, but individual traders are far more nimble, and in fact, a lot of research may be a detriment to independent traders. While research can benefit some traders, in many cases there are alternatives. Find out why when it comes to research, less is often...

Let Your Intuition Guide Your Investments
We all rely on intuition to some extent. In our private lives, we don't question it, but in the investment context, it is often frowned upon as somehow irrational and unprofessional. Hard facts are what investment is all about, right?

In fact, one's inner voice, which makes itself heard in so many decision-making processes, is an extremely valuable resource. Particularly in complex investment situations, it is simply impossible to take all factors into account through conventional managerial and analytical processes.

Trading Is Timing
Trading always comes down to timing. To truly appreciate this, we simply need to note that one of the biggest gains in stock market history occurred on October 19, 1987, during the day of its greatest crash. On that day, stocks had declined a mind-harrowing 23% by the end of the day, but at around 1:30 p.m., they staged a massive rally that saw the Dow Jones and S&P indexes verticalize off the bottom, rising more than 10% before running out of steam and turning down to end the day on the lows.

While most traders that day lost money, those who bought that bottom at 1:30 p.m. and sold...

Jesse Livermore: Lessons From A Legendary Trader
Born in 1877, Jesse Livermore is one of the greatest traders that few people know about. While a book on his life written by Edwin Lefèvre, "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" (1923), is highly regarded as a must-read for all traders, it deserves more than a passing recommendation. Livermore, who is the author of "How to Trade in Stocks"(1940), was one of the greatest traders of all time. At his peak in 1929, Jesse Livermore was worth $100 million, which in today's dollars roughly equates to $1.5-13 billion, depending on the index used.

People often ask if technical analysis can be used as an effective substitute for fundamental analysis. Although there is no definitive answer whether technical analysis can be used as a whole substitution for fundamental analysis, there is little doubt that combining the strengths of both strategies can help investors better understand the markets and gauge the direction in which their investments might be headed. In this article, we'll look at the pros and cons of technical analysis and the factors that investors should consider when incorporating both strategies into one market outlook.

Losing To Win
The hardest, but also most important lesson to learn in trading is how to handle losses gracefully. Most traders will inevitably encounter a string of losses at some point, so those who can't lose without being thrown off their game won't survive the market. The traders who have realistic win/loss expectations and a trading system they trust have the best chance of prevailing over tough market conditions. Here we look at what kind of losses traders can expect and how they can adjust their focus and strategy to deal with these losses.

A Look At Exit Strategies
Money management is one of the most important (and least understood) aspects of trading. Many traders, for instance, enter a trade without any kind of exit strategy and are therefore more likely to take premature profits or, worse, run losses. Traders need to understand what exits are available to them and know how to create an exit strategy that will help minimize losses and lock in profits.

There are obviously only two ways you can get out of a trade: by taking a loss or by making a gain. When talking about exit strategies, we use the terms take-profit...

Scalping: Small Quick Profits Can Add Up
Scalping is a trading style specializing in taking profits on small price changes, generally soon after a trade has been entered and has become profitable. It requires a trader to have a strict exit strategy because one large loss could eliminate the many small gains that the trader has worked to obtain. Having the right tools, such as a live feed, a direct-access broker and the stamina to place many trades is required for this strategy to be successful.

Many traders who use technical analysis often hear phrases that suggest a "broken support level will become a future area of resistance" or that a "previous level of resistance will become a support".

Trends can be classified as primary, intermediate and short term. However, markets exist in several time frames simultaneously. As such, there can be conflicting trends within a particular stock depending on the time frame being considered.

One of the tenets of stock investing that the average investor, as well as the sophisticated day trader, has heard repeatedly is "buy low, sell high". Sounds like a reasonable approach to investing, right?

Unfortunately, it is much more difficult than it seems. This is partly because some rookie investors may equate stock investing with shopping at the mall. If a cashmere sweater costs $250 in December but has been marked down to $50 in July, then it must be a good deal, or have some type of value. Maybe so, but stocks are different.

As traders, we are ultimately trading people and not stocks. It is people and their thoughts and expectations that push a stock to support and resistance.

Simple Strategies For Capitalizing On Trends
There are two types of markets in which a trader will trade - a trending market or a sideways market. On any time frame, a trade may be held through both types of market, but it is when the trade is entered and in what type of market (trending or sideways) that determines its level of risk. Risk is simply the amount of price movement we would expect before we can say with some certainty the trade is not moving in our direction (at least for right now), and is moving because of factors beyond simple market noise.

Momentum is perhaps the simplest and easiest oscillator to understand and use; it is the measurement of the speed or velocity of price changes. In "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets", John J. Murphy explains:

"Market momentum is measured by continually taking price differences for a fixed time interval. To construct a 10-day momentum line, simply subtract the closing price 10 days ago from the last closing price. This positive or negative value is then plotted around a zero line.
