Survival of the Fittest
 
By: Laurence A. Connors and Blake E. Hayward
 

The following is an excerpt from Connors & Hayward's Investment Secrets of a Hedge Fund Manager 

 

Trading is one tough game.  In the futures markets, 97 percent of all traders lose.  Those who win, win big.  Individuals such as George Soros, Monroe Trout, and Bruce Kovner make millions year in and year out.  Those millions do not appear from the sky.  They are taken from the pockets of the 97 percent who lose. 

 

What do the 3 percent have that the other 97 percent don't have?  A trading methodology combined with proper money management and a proper psychology that works.

Symmetrical Triangles

 
By: Andy Chambers
 

The following is an excerpt from Andy Chamber's Options Made Easy 

 

Symmetrical triangles are great patterns to trade.  A symmetrical triangle is a continuation pattern that narrows until it finally erupts in a breakout.  The best patterns have five legs, and each leg is smaller than the preceding leg.  A move beyond the leg 4 high or low suggests that the market is ready for a breakout.  Since it's a continuation pattern, we expect the market to break out of the triangle the same way it came in.  This symmetrical triangle in the Canadian Dollar resulted in a major breakout.  The triangle took a long time to form.  The longer a market goes sideways, the bigger the breakout can be.  We can estimate a target for the pattern by measuring the width of the first leg and adding that to the leg 4 high, if the pattern is bullish, or subtracting it from the leg 4 low, if the pattern is bearish.

Finding the Right Broker

The following is an excerpt taken from Don Wellenreiter's Millionaire Secrets for the Average Guy

 

 

This article may bother some of my friends in the brokerage community, but investors need to be aware of certain things when looking for a broker.  When you search for a broker, you must first know who you are.  Are you the type of investor that needs to rely 100% on your broker, or do you call your own shots?  Do you take your trades from some newsletter and just place your trade with your broker?
