The red sloping line is a resistance lines which told us to sell. As every trading textbook will tell you, multiple confirmations increase your probability, so we entered a short position when the blue line below crossed below zero. The vertical red line is a very clear instruction to sell.
Just one trade, and 2 months later the strategy is up over 900 pips. Easy to use and powerful, you can get this strategy and all the indicators you see right here.
Our conscious brains are not designed to process huge amounts of information.
Our brain is split into 3 parts. The conscious brain is the only part we can directly access. The nonconscious brain processes emotions and drives most of our behaviour, including keeping our hearts beating and our lungs breathing.
Because we live in an information rich world, our brains are designed to take conscious information and turn it into unconscious information. For example, when learning to drive a car, we have to consciously think about every action when we are new to driving. But after a few weeks of driving, it becomes automatic and our subconscious brain does the job for us.
This applies to trading as well. Depending on which trading strategy we newly employ, we initially use much of our conscious brain to make decisions. With practise, a great portion of this decision making becomes subconscious, and we can more quickly and accurately select profitable trades.
We give more weight to information that we are conscious of, but our subconscious brain has over 200,000 times more processing capacity than our conscious brain. The subconscious brain learns from its past experiences and mistakes, while the conscious brain relies on short-term memory.
Before you give up on your trading system or indicator, do allow yourself some time to practise and gain experience. Once your subconscious takes over, things get easier.

There are a few indicators such as Ichimoku and Elliot Waves which can give you an indication of price action in the future. When an analyst makes a right call, he becomes a superstar overnight. If he makes a wrong call, the public tosses him aside.
However, being wrong in forecasting a market does not mean you have “made a mistake”. This is a probability business; if your principles are sound, you will be right a certain percentage of the time, which means you must be wrong a certain percentage of the time. So being wrong is a consequence of doing the right thing, not “making a mistake”.
The best analysts are till wrong a lot. Now you can see why the public always loses. It still thinks that being right means always being right and being wrong is a “mistake.”

Was just wondering how the market can cheer a Euro debt crisis plan one week, and turn completely bearish the next, when really, nothing much has changed except some written documents. If we knew any of these Euro leaders, we could have made a killing in the forex market. Whoever gets the news first on major economic decisions stands to profit massively from the currency markets.
Likewise, terrorists also have the power to make such profits. Before Osama pulled the trigger on the September 11 attacks, he could have shorted equities, long gold etc. And profit from the disaster he created. Talk about reloading your ammunition!
Such economic news and information is out of reach to the man on the street. To predict fundamental decisions is a 50-50 game, you are either right or wrong, and fair no better than in a casino. Traders on the other hand, may miss out on the icing, but can potentially eat the profit cake. When such economic news disseminates throughout the market and media, price action will show. React (not predict) fast enough and you can join the profit game.

One cannot predict near term performance with a value approach. You could easily look foolish a year from now. However, recall the dark days of early 2009. The world was coming to an end, or so we all thought. By early March of that year throw a stone and it will hit a bull. Yet we were reminded shortly afterwards that the darkest hour is often just before sunrise. Within weeks, global equity markets had shaken off the misery of the previous six months and we went on to register one of the greatest bull runs of all times. This is value investing, seeking value when others are dumping them.
And then we wonder. When you manage a fire department, do you place your firemen where you think the next fire will be based on historical trends? Or do you send your team to where there IS a fire?
Enter Trading.
Traders position themselves in the eye of the storm, acting on trade signals and chart setups, undeterred by all the surrounding news and noise (theoretically). The challenge traders face is fake setups which look like the ones they were waiting for. This is part of their cost of doing business. However, unlike value investing, traders usually have less risk on the table on average.
Value investing, also known as buy-and-hold, requires the investor to plunk in cash, and wait. This wait could be 5 years or a decade, or until the Euro leaders are done with their trial and error efforts of solving the debt crisis. Until then, the value investor’s money is on the table, at risk.
Traders on the other hand are usually more time sensitive and get in and out whenever setups are in favor. From a time-risk perspective, it is riskier to be a value investor.
That said, there is a time/personality/capital base for both strategies. The key is to find the approach which suits your current situation.

“We earn a living when other people put on their dumb hats and buy too high or sell too low. No, folks like us don’t build bridges, sell suits, or lead their flocks to salvation. To be realistic, we contribute absolutely nothing to society except pure liquidity and an aggressive attitude.” – Excerpt from The Master Swing Trader Toolkit
While most Entrepreneurs earn their income by creating value to society, traders don’t really do that. In terms of control, no other career can match trading. Without a boss, every research, decision and execution is at the trader’s disposal. Likewise, the upside and downside of the trader’s account is also at his fingertips.
Trading allows you to develop a skill set based on research, and tests your emotional and psychological limits very often. It is unlikely for a trader to get bored in his job. While it may get monotonous following trading rules month in month out, traders are free to take breaks, and pursue other interests such as philanthropy whenever they have the time and capacity/capital.
In essence, trading as a career gives you complete freedom without compromising your earning potential.

Gold has fallen about 20% from it’s high of 1900, to 1536.90 as of this writing.
Ichimoku analysis paints a bearish picture for this safe haven:
1. Tenkan Sen (pink) and crossed below Kijun Sen (yellow)
2. Kumo Twist with Senkou Span A (orange) crossing below Senkou Span B (green)
3. Chikou Span (gray) has broken below both the price and Kumo Cloud
Gold has entered bearish territory with Primary Resistance at 1700 and Secondary Resistance at 1800.
As the price drop last week was very sharp, we expect a retracement towards 1600. Downtrend is in play as long as resistance levels are not broken.
