The Magic Of Compound Interest
Tue, 09 Feb 2010 12:09:41 GMT

Let me explain the term "Compound Interest" as simple as I can: Compound interest simply pays you interest on your principal; then, when it’s time to pay interest again, you’re paid interest on your principal AND the previous interest that you earned. In other words, the interest that you’re paid adds to and becomes part of the principal that accrues interest during the next period. This means that you have a continuously growing principal amount without having to make another deposit. But if

Making a habit of 60-hour weeks, he found his way up from his father's company to a position as head of a subprime mortgage sales team.

Introduction and Oscillator Divergence/Momentum Confirmation
Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:18:44 GMT

Technical analysis can be defined as the study of past price behavior in an effort to determine patterns and trends that are believed to be predictable of the future. At the core of this school of thought is the assumption that human behavior is repetitive in nature. We all recognize that, although human behavior patterns may have recurrent tendencies, they do not normally express themselves in the same exact, mechanical manner each time. Even with this qualification in mind, technical

 

Pivot System Support and Resistance

Dynamic Support & Resistance Levels for Intraday Trading As helpful as Pivot System levels often are, a significant drawback to their use lies in the fact that they are calculated from the prior day's price action, and may not accurately reflect recent changes in market psychology.

A 24 hours a day, 7 days a week market, with high volatility and liquidity, and with a plus advantage: leverage. A market where you can choose to go bull or bear with no cost: no extra premiums to pay, no additional options. It seems pretty much convenient, right? Well, let me tell you the disadvantages before I continue:

 

Trading the trend and breaks
Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:06:08 GMT

I always post here that we should wait for breaks or confirmations. Breaks of key levels of support and resistance or trend lines. So I will tell you the basic rules to trade with trend lines, I hope you will enjoy these basic education tips! As you may know, we always say that it is better to trade following the trend . This means that in a bullish market we should buy to take profits by selling. Of course we can trade against the trend - in fact I do it all the time - but we must be aware

Trading Multiple CCI Time Periods
Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:23:09 GMT

Within Forex, there’s something professional traders call, “chasing indicators.” Sadly, so many retail traders – with the mindset that trading Forex profitably is easy – fall victim to this destructive attitude and unfortunately, constantly find themselves behind the curve as volatility kicks in. However, there is another way to trade. In this special report, traders will learn why “chasing indicators” is such a losing game, while also seeing how they can begin putting indicators on their side

 

Perceiving Forex Volatility via Descriptive Statistics… Deriving Trending and Reversals - Part 2
Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:26:14 GMT

Even when traders embody substantial technical and fundamental knowledge, risk prevails without the proper understanding of the larger probability/volatility paradigm behind currency trading. Here, traders are encouraged to boldly challenge typical pre-conceived notions of charting, in an effort to see beyond the fallacy of technical analysis. In the end, traders who understand descriptive statistics will find greater clarity and perception of volatility, before it even appears. Words of

 

Perceiving Forex Volatility through Descriptive Statistics - Part 1
Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:25:49 GMT

Forex markets often display significant volatility catching many traders by surprise. However, with a simple understanding of descriptive statistics and moving averages, many could soon find themselves ahead of the curve. Many traders – both new and experienced – often find themselves at a loss attempting to understand why Forex markets tend to experience extended volatility. In simple terms, the reasoning behind extended volatility is that of continued buying, or selling beyond easily

 

The 123 chart pattern
Mon, 22 Dec 2008 16:35:15 GMT

The 123 pattern is a reversal chart pattern which occurs very frequently and has a very high success ratio. 123’s occur at the end of trends and swings, and they are an indication of a change in trend. They can also be found within a trading range, and they take place when the directional momentum of a trend is diminishing... This is the Powerpoint Presentation of the webinar held by Sunil Mangwani about the 1-2-3 chart pattern in late December 08. You can also watch the recording of that

Support and Resistance: Theory and practice
Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:32:03 GMT

I am in the forex market just for few years and my experience is not huge, but after some gains and losses I started feel very confident about my trades. In this article I simply would like to share my points of view to the market and I strongly feel that support and resistance lines do not get it's deserved appreciation in the publications. We all know that support and resistance are very important, but still most of the trading methods do not include those lines at all. Drawing tools in the

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:38:15 GMT

This is the first of the series of the articles about my technical analysis and trading method. I hope it will be useful for novice traders. First of all we need to find out what we are going to do. We need to analyse market direction and take the decision are we going to sell or buy. To take the decision according direction of the market is easy: if market is going up – we buy; if down – we sell; if sideways – we wait for opportunity to buy or sell, or could enter the market on chart

Back To Basics, Part 2: The Definition of a Stop Loss
Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:22:37 GMT

This week I would like to revert back to the basics of successful trading once more and thought that there would be no better subject to cover than that of the Stop Loss. I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of new Forex students from around the world via both the Online Trading Academy classroom and Extended Learning Track (XLT) experience. Each and every one of these up and coming Forex traders has received the very same message from me and that is regarding the vital importance

 

Proper Use of the CCI
Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:25:07 GMT

While I do not use indicators or oscillators in my own trading, I do know one thing for sure - they all work. Yes, I said they all work fine and I mean it. What is needed is to define the word "work." These are all lines plotted on a chart based on different mathematical calculations depending on the indicator or oscillator. The math works fine and the lines are plotted where they should be so do they work? YES. If the definition of "working" has to do with producing profitable buy and sell

 

The False Security of a Virtual Environment
Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:19:26 GMT

This week I have been teaching the Professional Forex Trader course in the physical classroom. I enjoy this environment very much as it gives me the opportunity to interact face-to-face with new Online Trading Academy students who are taking their first steps on the path of trading education. We study the various aspects of successful Forex trading including how to determine risk, plan targets, identify trend and how to scan the markets for only the highest probability, low risk setups. It is

 

Got Questions? Sam has Answers!
Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:55:18 GMT

Sam, I am an Online Trading Academy stock trading graduate and soon to be futures class attendee (with XLT hopefully to follow if I like futures). Thank you for this week's "Systems Trading - A Complex World with Simple Answers" article; it was very enjoyable, well developed and perfectly explained. The only thing that I would ask is how you use these trade rules for "sideways" markets like we have now? I trade the "SPY" and I am having some difficulties with lack of movement. I often opt out

 

Back To Basics, Part 1: Trends
Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:58:56 GMT

Sometimes we just need to keep things simple. I live by this motto in my personal trading career and always send the same message to each and every one of my classroom and Extended Learning Track (XLT) students. Trading should be clear and practical at all times. The minute we make things too complicated, the account usually suffers as a result. I have been there and bought the t-shirt! After experimenting with various technical indicators and chart patterns, I soon realized that the most

 

System Trading – A Complex World with Simple Answers
Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:35:19 GMT

Recently in the Extended Learning Track (XLT) - Stock Mastery class, we had a lesson on trading systems. While I can't go over all the information during that session in this piece, I wanted to share some of the important aspects of that lesson. I have been in the business of market speculating and market/trading education for over 15 years. While Futures and Forex have always been the main markets I trade and manage accounts in, I have also spent plenty of time trading stocks and options as

 

Knowing When Enough is Enough
Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:29:16 GMT

If I had to name the one single key to successful and consistent trading results, it would be Discipline. In virtually every aspect of trading, we have to control ourselves because as I have stated time and time again in previous articles, human beings were never designed to be traders. Let's list some of the common reasons why most novice traders hit a road block with their activities: 1. They have little concept of protecting their capital and managing risk 2. They do not understand how

 

Emotion Always Pays Logic
Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:18:25 GMT

One of the most common reasons for aspiring traders having difficulty during their journey towards self-empowerment is emotion. Herd mentality trading is an account killer. Buying after a big rally in price is like going to the bank, withdrawing funds from your savings account, and then handing those funds to the person in line behind you. As you leave the bank, you say to yourself, "Why did I just do that?" A while back, I was instructing and trading in Irvine, California. We had a very good

 

Your Questions Answered
Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:44:59 GMT

Hi Sam, Enjoyed your insightful article on 1/26 about supply & demand but my question is: Which chart time frame is most useful? As you know, different time frames will show different pictures so which do you recommend? Thanks for the email. There are two parts to this answer. First, this depends on what type of market speculating you are doing. Are you looking to day trade, swing trade, or trade with a longer term time horizon? Maybe you will do all of the above. Whatever the answer is,

 

Short, Sweet and to the Point
Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:33:02 GMT

It has been a busy couple of weeks for me and I don't mind one bit. I think it is healthy to start a New Year in the way that you plan to go on and 2010 is no exception. With my teaching in class for Online Trading Academy and my ongoing Extended Learning Track (XLT) class commitments, I am always on the move; but one of the best things about trading is that you can fit it around your life so I never feel like I am missing out. In fact, having distractions aside from my own trading is a huge

 

Forex Minds Want to Know
Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:44:42 GMT

I would like to extend a warm thanks to all who read my weekly newsletters. I enjoy writing them thoroughly and if they provide some useful tips and tricks for the many Forex traders out there, then that is an even bigger bonus. As an instructor and Extended Learning Track (XLT) mentor for Online Trading Academy, I am constantly receiving numerous emails from my students and traders new to the world of Online Trading Academy education and one of the biggest challenges I face on a day to day

 

Trading Tools You May Not Find in Books
Wed, 03 Feb 2010 16:35:51 GMT

Do you agree with Sam? Debate with other traders in FXstreet.com Forum. As I have mentioned many times, at the core of any successful trading and investing strategy is an "edge." Few traders and investors ever attain the significant market edge they desire and there is a simple reason for this. Most new market speculators begin their quest for edge-building information and education at the local book store or online. They naturally are drawn to reading best sellers and popular authors with

 

Perception vs Reality, Part 3: Technical Analysis vs Price Action
Wed, 27 Jan 2010 07:09:39 GMT

So this week comes the final part of my exploration of the huge differences between our Perceptions of trading and the actual Reality. A couple of weeks ago when I wrote the first part of this series of articles, you may have wondered why I was making such a huge deal of something which most active traders in the world have never given a moment's thought about, but that's fine with me. I also know that the majority of the world's active traders struggle to achieve consistent profits in the

 

Trade What is Real, Not What You Feel
Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:41:04 GMT

Remove the Veil of Illusion from Trading and Investing Consistent low risk profits from trading and investing is a challenge many millions of people take on, yet only a select few are ever able to attain. The objective and mechanical rules for consistent low risk profits are very simple, yet the layers of illusions keep most from ever seeing what is real in trading and investing. The two main forms of analysis in trading and investing are technical and fundamental analysis, and they are very

 

Perception vs Reality, Part 2: Consistent Wins or Consistent Profits
Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:43:44 GMT

Following on from my previous newsletter, this week I will continue my exploration of the differences between trading perceptions and realities. There are various market myths floating around at anytime but among the most common I encounter from novice traders is on the subject of win to loss ratios. Pretty much everytime I teach a class or do a presentation, I am asked, "What is your percentage of winning to losing trades?" I do not baulk when asked this, as I clearly remember asking the very

One of my favorite John Candy movies of all time. When I was a teenager, I was an extra in another one of his movies and got to meet him, big funny guy just like I expected. As funny as the movie is, there is a real story in it that all traders need to be aware of. I go through periods where I travel quite a bit. Air travel can be draining because air travel means airports. Being an Executive Platinum member, knowing all the short cuts and tricks with lines and special seating, I still find

 

Perception vs Reality, Part 1: Value and Price
Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:43:35 GMT

Time and time again, I have said that all humans were never designed to become consistently profitable traders. There are many reasons why the majority of individuals fail to make regular profits from Forex trading, but in the end, it all stems from the simple fact that most people are completely unaware of the difference between perception and reality. Ever since people began to speculate in the money markets, there has been this common belief that only the top guys in Wall Street have the

 

The Quest for Truth
Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:50:22 GMT

At the core of any significant economic, political, scientific, social, medical, psychological or cultural theory lies a quest to understand and quantify the forces of change, action, or energy. The theories that attempt to quantify "force" that have stood the test of time date back centuries and are extremely simple. In 1686, noted physicist Isaac Newton suggested in his Laws of Motion that an object will remain in motion until it is met with an equal or greater force. Noted economist Adam

In keeping with the seasonal spirit, I thought that I would offer some suggestions for 2010. We all try to make New Year’s resolutions in an attempt to get ourselves on the right track for the months ahead. As we know in the reality of life, these good intentions are often forgotten quickly and we fall back into old habits we were trying to break in the first place! We are all guilty of this, as we are only human but I would highly suggest that where your Forex trading is concerned, you can

 

A Key Rule, Often Overlooked
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 12:28:00 GMT

All market speculators share the same goal which is to enjoy consistent low risk profits. To accomplish this goal, you must be able to identify market turning points as this is the only way to attain low risk and high reward entries into market (trading) positions. Whether you are a short term day trader or a longer term investor, nothing changes. Identifying key market turning points is the only way to attain the ideal risk / reward opportunity.

Delegate more tasks so I can focus on trading with fewer interruptions or mental shifting of gears throughout the day. Automate as many company processes as possible. Spend more time analyzing the data collected in my trading journal ; quantify which mistakes are happening how often, what they cost, and therefore need the most immediate attention. Eventually automate this process as well. Spend more time outside , with my wife and with my dogs. Eat more organic foods and replace all household

Diversifiy away from GBP. The Bank of England is set to remove quantitative easing later this year, the UK Treasury talks about spending cuts, the new VAT coming through in 2010 and the down-and-dirty British Elections are due in May. None of these developments is good for sterling and the UK economy which has yet to recover from recession. Therefore, sterling may regain its status as the whipping boy of FX in 2010.

Trade more exotic currencies . Sometimes we miss great opportunities because we focus on just a small group of currencies. Exotics can be volatile and dangerous, but can also be more rewarding than the majors - if you know what you are doing. Focus more on interest .  2010 will be the year when many central banks start raising rates, so I'll be monitoring central banks and their expectations closely. 2010 will be a year when traders will be able to get in on the ground floor of a new set

Remain Cautious of the "The Maniac" Nec Hercules Contra Duos In Chapter II (The Maniac) famous masterpiece Orthodoxy, by G.K. Chesterton (Dodd, Mead & Co., 1908), the author presents an argument, which (as a quick summary) serves to analyze the mind of a "maniac", or in other words, the "opinionated views of a madman."

I want more of my trading in 2010 to come from Automated EA's instead of me sitting in front of the computer for hours. Money is a renewable resource and I make plenty of it.  But time is not.  I can never get time back and the 20th century is fraught with traders spending likely more time in front of the computer than necessary. With that being said, I will probably over-work my programmer this year to automate as much of my trading as can be done until we own the Hal 9000 which

 

Jerry Furst's New Year Resolutions
Thu, 31 Dec 2009 10:48:17 GMT

Resolutions or Goals – What’s the Difference? Resolutions are like promises and commitments and I do not make promises I do not intend to keep nor do I take on commitments lightly. When I commit to something it’s going to take something really strong to derail me from keeping my commitment. Psychologically once a promise is broken it is too easy to dismiss the entire effort and derail some very good efforts and intentions. So I like the term of “goals” better and so I hereby commit to three

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 10:44:44 GMT

This last year was an eye-opener even after all the years I've been trading futures and forex. And while I try not to make the same mistakes, we're all human, even the "experts" have battles with internal and external psychology.  I think fat too many of us think a trend can go too far (e.g AUD/USD or the U.S. Dollar Index) and the temptation for picking tops or bottoms can be a hard one to resist. Luckily, because of my philosophy of using the 34ema Wave and letting market cycles dictate

Heed my own advice about always maintaining highly-disciplined risk management practices as well as keeping my emotions out of my trading. I've said it countless times in seminars and webinars, in my books and magazine articles, as well as one-on-one with traders around the world: If there is one key to trading success, it is the development of optimal risk management guidelines and the discipline to follow them. This is true regardless of the particular trading strategy that is used. Coupled

Improve my efficiency adding to a winning trade. I've never been very good at adding to a winning trade or "stacking" as some traders call it. Traditionally I've been a risk-to-reward based trader, but I see the value in starting a position small and adding to it as the market confirms your hypothesis.

My resolution is to continue to improve upon my harmonic trading method.   My method has served me well this past year, but improvements are always possible. This year I am looking for ways to reduce the so called “streaking” both winning and losing within my trading. My method over time has a great history and track record but like many is prone to “clustering” of winners and losers. Which in the long run is not necessarily a bad thing. The reason I want to improve that is because for

Backtest more pending order type trading. I like that my current trading has a live-action feel, but I want to develop more tools for myself that allow me to take advantage of times when I can't be at the computer. It would also be really helpful to my students who have a daytime job to have a jumping off point for their trading as well. Grow into more effective money management. Every year I try to learn more effective ways to capitalize on my winners and have long ago abandoned the thought

 

When a Little Becomes a Lot...

Before I get into the subject of this article, I would like you to sit back and have a good think about your trading: Ask yourself what kind of trader you want to be, how you envision your daily trading activities and what you feel it will take for you to become consistently profitable in this most challenging, yet rewarding of careers...
