  • "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"  By : Svetlana Nunez
    I like maxims and quips. Little phrases that tell a big story. I like the parables in the Bible because a child can say "I get it," and an aged student can say "Oh… now I get it." The principle of keeping it simple is a good one for most of life's situations including trading. And while trading skills are not easy to master, they involve simple principles.
  • "Those Darn Market Makers" in Better Trades  By : Loredana Sargu
    I just finished a training session on the internet and I answered a question that I have answered 100 times before or more. It got me a bit worked up because there is far too much mythology out there about the market and how it works and who does what to whom. I am going to attack one of the straw men of trading myths.
  • "Volatility Watch" and Better Trades  By : Loredana Sargu
    There are rules of thumb in every field of interest. I am referring to certain generalizations and assumptions that people make and observe. In the markets there are many but one that catches my attention lately is the correlation between the directional movement of the market and the volatility that is expressed in option pricing. The rule of thumb is; when markets go up the volatility goes down. Recently there is a glaring inconstancy to this assumption and it needs to be noted.

  • 2008 Economic Overview: A Year of Preparation  By : Murad Ali
    The year of 2007 wasn’t disastrous but surely wasn’t any fun. People are looking forward 2008 and the great recovery that is in store for them but chance are that it isn’t coming. 2008 will be a year when the economy is still dealing with the problems starting at the end of 2006 and clearing themselves out. Therefore, the economy should be recovering in 2008 but won’t be doing much else besides healing its old wounds and preparing for a strong 2009.

  • A Case For OUT Of The Money  By : Svetlana Nunez
    Option Trading has always been a challenge to traders because of all the variables and complexities that make it up. To simplify the process some educators have reduced it down to prescriptive approaches. This can work well if the market holds a level course and does not change but that is not reality. The market does however go in trends for a while and so systems can
    work well for a while and then with no explanation fall apart.
  • A Newbie's Introduction to the Currency Markets - 2  By : Christopher Temple

  • A Powerful-Profitable-Cash-Cow: BetterTrades  By : Loredana Sargu
    Dear Traders and Friends:

  • BALLON STRANGLES, A BETTER TRADES STRATEGY  By : Svetlana Nunez
    I have often taught that there is a countermove for everything that a market or stock can throw at you. You may not know it but there is one. This is generally a true statement because if you wait too long, there are some situations you can't get out of but for the most part there is a way to respond to and survive just a bout anything. IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT. The emphasis is to make the distinction that knowing is not enough. You must know how and that takes training. However it does start with knowing what.
  • Better Trades and 3 Lessons You Learn  By : Loredana Sargu
    LESSON 1. AVOID THE COMMON THIEF

    I have noticed that some people display a common error in judgment that can be devastating. It's kind of like letting a thief into your home and saying, "please turn out the lights when you leave." The next morning you wake up and the house is empty, the safe is open, and all your deeds are missing. A few days later you get a call from your pension plan coordinator who bears heart-wrenching news "there is nothing left in you account, do you still plan on using our services?"
  • BetterTrades and "FUNNYDAMENTALS"  By : Loredana Sargu
    The end of last month, a broker from New York calls me. He has called several times over the last year to tell me I need to open an account with him because he has such a great buying opportunity. He was armed with a strong list of fundamentals that just had to convince me to give him money to buy this stock. Well I enjoy talking to him because he proves my points about staying neutral and playing the stock not the fundamentals or the news.

  • Big MAC Divergence in BetterTrades  By : Loredana Sargu
    Indicators are a powerful tools and they generally have a very specific function. They measure specific aspects of behavior and that behavior is compared to the chart movement. Some indicators are very narrow in focus i.e. only relavent in trends or only in compression patterns while other indicators work well in nearly any market patterns. Some of the more common and respected indicators measure over bought / oversold conditions or trend strength or divergence. I will focus this article on the divergence indicators and how to recognize divergence.
  • Buy and Hold: How to Perpetuate Your Investment Losses  By : Ulli G.niemann
    Judging from the reader’s e-mail it appears that he works for a major bank and is adamant about Buy & Hold and Dollar Cost Averaging. Maybe it's the approach he has chosen and he doesn't like hearing that the emperor is wearing no clothes. Nothing personal, honestly, but I find it incomprehensible that anyone, after the bear market and the financial disasters most people experienced, can even consider such theories. The results are just too black & white.

  • Climbing To The Better Trades Top  By : Loredana Sargu
    I have the unique opportunity to teach Traders with a wide range of knowledge. Some individuals are just beginning, while others have been around the market for 20+ years. There are some "laws of life" that seem unchangeable. For example, I know that some people will earn more than me in this market and, unfortunately, others will never have success in their trading efforts. It's sad to think that some people will not see their aspirations for financial success materialize. It is comforting to know what makes the difference between the winners and the non-winners (I choose not to use the "L" word).

  • Find a Methodology and Minimize Investment Madness  By : Ulli G.niemann
    There are many reasons to be investing these days, and too much opportunity to not have your money working for you. However, I believe the majority of people dread having to deal with investment matters, and tend to jump into purchases and then hold their breath hoping for the best. After a long day at work and taking care of the family, it’s hard to get excited about reading up on your 401(k) options, Morningstar ratings and fund performances.
  • Find the Pattern with Better Trades  By : Svetlana Nunez
    I am chartist and a technical trader. I believe that the first line of analysis is to find patterns. Line drawing and straight line analysis is the standard. It has been and continues to be the base line tool. Moving averages and range bands are more recent developments and are observatory. Straight line charting has modeled and been used to define patterns and set targets for an awfully long time, and I believe that you can't throw a pile of lumber of a cliff and have it land in the shape of a house. If it looks like a house, some one has manipulating the lumber.

  • How to find an Investment Advisor  By : Ulli G.niemann
    Most investors—even some professionals—tend to be "off" in their timing: they buy things when they are hot, not when they are cold. But for the greatest benefit, it should be the opposite. The media doesn't help much when it comes to this buying approach, and let's face it; greed and fear play a large part in most peoples' investment decisions
