Being Right versus Being Profitable

By Gabe Velazquez, Online Trading Academy E-Minis Instructor*
Posted: Mar 5, 2010

As human beings, we have certain built-in emotional characteristics. These have evolved – and rightly so – as survival mechanisms. Fear is one of these emotions. When we're put in a situation in which harm may come to us, fear is what triggers us to recoil or seek a safe harbor. It's almost instinctual that we avoid, or quickly move away from, any situation that might cause us to experience pain.

Conversely, we're attracted (like moths to a bright light) to experiences that provide us with pleasure. Whether it's great food, fabulous wine or lengthy vacations to beautiful destinations, we all desire as many of these things as possible. In fact, marketing agencies make millions of dollars (as do presidential campaigns looking to win elections) by tapping into these feelings of pain, fear and pleasure.

When Nothing Means Something

(This is the fifth in a series of articles on basic technical analysis originally published in Futures magazine.)

Trying to discern some type of pattern on a price chart sometimes comes down not to what the price is doing but to what it is not doing. No-trade zones where the price bars seem to skip a beat form so-called “gaps” — places where no trades take place from one time period to the next.

Duane's Watch List (Updated)

I have a couple of quick updates in regards to the Stochastic trade setups that I posted last week.

1. Still working on the daily chart of FORM. This trade hasn't yet fully committed to the downside so I'm still keeping the stops tight.

2. We've been stopped out on the daily chart of CRAY. The pivot high was violated on the open. Stop taken. Moving on. Here's an illustration in regards to that setup.

Book Reviews

Review of Technically Speaking by Chris Wilkinson

Reviewed by Ed Dobson, President, Traders Press, Inc.

Technically Speaking by Chris WilkinsonIn 1989, a book titled Market Wizards, written by prolific and accomplished author Jack Schwager, was published. It featured interviews with a number of exceptionally talented and successful traders in stocks, options and futures. It proved to be highly successful and popular, a best seller among financial titles. The success of this book spawned a plethora of other "interview" books, most of which, in my opinion, were mediocre in comparison to Market Wizards.
