Why Learn Technical Analysis & Use It For Your Trading & Investing??

Why Learn Technical Analysis & Use It For Your Trading & Investing??I’ve noticed the general rise in interest in the subject of Technical Analysis (TA) over the last few years, not just from market professionals but from the wider public. Why though should you learn it and use it for your trading and investing? In the UK I teach the professionals how to use TA as well as at Universities and have used it successfully in my own trading.Why the increase in popularity? Maybe because of advances in technology that have brought technical analysis to the mainstream; social media where charts are thrust into our faces daily, or maybe the perception that technical analysis can hand back some control to your finances and investing in a world desiring more control.These are just a few of the

ICHIMOKU - The 'One Stop Shop' Trading Strategy Tool Explained!

Japanese Ichimoku charts are becoming ever more popular for today's trader and investor. Ichimoku in its own right is a fantastic analytical trading strategy tool. Often, the basics of Ichimoku are misinterpreted, and users struggle to deploy successfully this system in today's trading world. What is also not dealt with so well, is how you should be able to adapt, dissect, change and use the Ichimoku traditional approach more effectively to create even more powerful trading strategies and systems. When I first came across Ichimoku back in the 1990's I thought it was a complete un-translatable mess of tools and indicators and couldn't possibly help you with your trading - how wrong was I!! I am going to quickly take you through the basics of Ichimoku in this article and give you some ideas

Especially strong $Copper - main 2209(HGmain)$correlation in the longer term (see attached line chart). China produces about 40% of the worlds Copper but also imports between 50% to 60% of the rest of the worlds production. Why is this important to know? Well, Copper is used in all sorts of infrastructure projects / tech etc - one of the most used industrial metals and if China are doing well they will need more and more of the metal. So Copper and Chinas performance can be used as an economic bellweather and be used to ascertain the strength and weakn

Master Japanese Kagi Technical Analysis Charts For Your Trading & Investing!

The last of what I call 'independent' Japanese chart types I will introduce you to in this article is the Kagi chart - a fantastic chart type you don't want to miss out on!!Firstly, why 'independent' - these chart types stand alone as an individual chart type tool unlike Heikin Ashi that is a derivative of the Candlestick chart and tools like Ichimoku that is simply a complex indicator configuration - both of which by the way I will cover off in weeks to come. In this article though, its all about understanding and interpreting the Yin and Yang of the markets!! Nb.

11 STOCKS UNDER 10 USD TO BUY NOW!? Not all stocks under 10 USD offer good value! They can be very volatile and tricky to trade. Do your homework and you can find some great buys!  I put together a 'quick' filter based around analyst recomendations and targets, fundamental performance / earnings statistics, volume, market cap, options etc, to try and create a starting place for trading these less than 10 USD stocks. My scan pulled back 11 stocks to watch (listed below). Now if you look at the charts of these 11 (see attached) they dont look that promising, but that is where you need to time your way in using technical analysis.

Heikin Ashi charts: Helping Your Trading Psychology & Making You More Profitable!!

Continuing my theme of Japanese Chart type articles, I will be looking at Heikin Ashi charts. A chart type I use a lot of! Its great for many reasons as you will find out.....Understanding this ancient method of candlestick charting can certainly reap dividends for your trading! Why?TRADING MISTAKES:I’ve noticed with both new and old traders alike, the propensity for them to cut out of trades far too early and regret their actions as they see the trade move in the direction they first sort to a much bigger degree. The reverse can also be said for setting stop limits and pulling them too tight and again being forced out of a potentially winning trade unnecessarily.‘AMATEURS WANT TO BE RIGHT. PROFESSIONALS WANT TO MAKE MONEY!’This trait is most prevalent (and understandably so) in new trader
