Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:08 GMT On their own, single-day patterns can be unreliable, but that doesn&#039;t mean they can&#039;t be used effectively. http://investopedia.com/printable.asp?a=/articles/trading/09/single-day-patterns.asp del.icio.us/tradermike/stocks http://investopedia.com/printable.asp?a=/articles/trading/09/single-day-patterns.asp?

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:52 GMT Based solely upon the rising trend line violation, I am assuming that the market is in a corrective phase that will last for several weeks; however, a declining trend has not yet been established, and my assumption could be premature. http://blogs.stockcharts.com/chartwatchers/2009/11/market-is-strong-but-correction-should-continue-.html del.icio.us/tradermike/stocks http://blogs.stockcharts.com/chartwatchers/2009/11/market-is-strong-but-correction-should-continue-.html?

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:18 GMT I will be watching closely early this week to see if the market bounce from recent lows can broaden. If not, I will be viewing that bounce as part of an longer-term topping process that goes back to momentum highs in September. http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/11/look-at-weakness-among-new-20-day-highs.html del.icio.us/tradermike/stocks http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/11/look-at-weakness-among-new-20-day-highs.html?

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:52 GMT No one--myself most included!--can eliminate bias altogether. The key is staying as grounded in markets as possible: listening to them, rather than talking at them. http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/11/eliminating-bias-in-trading.html del.icio.us/tradermike/trading http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/11/eliminating-bias-in-trading.html?

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:50 GMT One of the most common problems I see among intraday traders is that they end the day flat in their positioning, but not flat mentally. That is, they have no overnight risk, but they have a strong directional opinion on a swing or larger time frame. http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/10/if-youre-fighting-trend-youre-defending.html del.icio.us/tradermike/stocks http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/10/if-youre-fighting-trend-youre-defending.html? Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:48 GMT today we registered 790 new 65-day lows among NYSE, NASDAQ, and ASE issues.

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:44 GMT The McGinley Dynamic can be easily described as a 10-day simple and exponential moving average with a smoother: a filter that smooths the data to avoid whipsaws. Yet its reliability as an indicator is much greater than that a moving average since moving averages tend to forecast false signals http://investopedia.com/printable.asp?a=/articles/forex/09/mcginley-dynamic-indicator.asp del.icio.us/tradermike/stocks http://investopedia.com/printable.asp?a=/articles/forex/09/mcginley-dynamic-indicator.asp? Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:54 GMT Specific shows that are likely to follow the fate of Dennis Kneale&#039;s recently canceled 8pm gobbledygook are likely the Kudlow Report and Mad Money, which are down 59% and 56%, respectively. http://www.zerohedge.com/article/cnbc-viewership-plunges-50-october del.icio.us/tradermike/stocks http://www.zerohedge.com/article/cnbc-viewership-plunges-50-october?

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:19 GMT For a successful trader, a trade is like a single pitch to a hitter. It is one part of one at bat, which is part of one inning, which is part of one game. http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/10/keeping-grounded-as-trader-how-to-avoid.html del.icio.us/tradermike/trading http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/10/keeping-grounded-as-trader-how-to-avoid.html?

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:52 GMT Instead of identifying what the market *is* doing and following that, habitual contrarians try to anticipate the *next* move. Interestingly, that next move is generally something different than the market is presently doing. http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/10/habitual-contrarian-traders-being-right.html del.icio.us/tradermike/trading http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/10/habitual-contrarian-traders-being-right.html?
