I insist on the power of weekly profit goals in my Day Trading Coaching Program. I help my students determine a goal for each week that is at once attractive and realistic. I insist that sticking with this goal should be a hard and fast rule. So, no matter how confident, or lucky, they may feel, I tell students that the only way to guarantee long term success is to stop trading once they achieve their goal. They should wait until the next week to start trading again, even if they have a hunch that the market will stay in their favor.

This is a difficult habit to maintain. The reason behind my advice is that consistent gains will always outperform your "hunches" over the long run. But, at first, almost every student finds it to be unintuitive. After all, they think, why should I stop trading when I am ahead? If I keep trading, won't I make more money?

The answer is ... Читать дальше »

We have seen a number of dark days for stock markets all around the world in the past months. But how frightened should we be? Is the next Great Depression upon us? How can we distinguish a small crisis from a huge one? One way to deal with these questions and to calm our feelings of panic is to look closely at a single bad day. When we do that, the details can show us that the bigger picture may not be as bad as we fear, and, hopefully, quell our feelings of panic.

Let’s look back at September 29. On that day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 7% and the S&P dropped by 8.8%. The Dow’s declines were the largest since the 9/11 attacks, and the S&P had its worst day since Black Monday in 1987. Media headlines included comparisons to the “Crash of 1929” and even “The Great Depression,” but, in spite of all of this, were things really as bad as they seemed?

Christmas is globally celebrated with much hoopla and joy. But, the environmentalists new slogan is to celebrate Green Christmas with love and excitement throughout.

What is Green Christmas?

Each festival adds the burden of waste to the Mother Earth, which eventually damages the environment. So, several environments related NGOs are globally arising the slogan of "SAVE EARTH". You can add your part of contribution by celebrating Green Christmas this year. It is a concept where you have to cut down the use of those materials that harm or finish the natural sources of Mother Earth.

How can you celebrate Green Christmas?

• You can start with small things such as less usage of polybags. Each time you go for Christmas party you should carry a shopping bag with you, so that you cut down the unnecessary consumption of plastics. These plastics are not degradable; hence by prove to be utterly dangerous when thrown away in the waste.

Day traders cannot avoid losses. If anyone tries to sell you a system that has no losses, or even as little as 10% losses, you can be sure that they are unreliable. The fact is that traders engage in a very risky endeavor, and, even with the best plans, the markets will do unpredictable things.

One point to be careful of when researching strategies is the idea of a “winning percentage.” Many day trading programs will tell you that they have a winning percentage of over 90%. This sounds wonderful, of course, but what does it really mean? Does it mean that they profit from 90% of their trades? Does it mean that they always profit with an additional 90% of what they put in? By itself, this statistic tells you nothing.

You can get away with making your winning percentage sound better than it really is. In day trading, your “winning percentage” is a function of the ratio between your stop loss and your profit target. If you increase your stop loss and de ... Читать дальше »

I am frequently asked how to use pivot points in day trading. They can certainly be useful tools, but, by themselves, they are not a real trading system or strategy. If you know how to calculate pivot points, however, they can be a helpful source of information.

Pivot points are most commonly used to determine support and resistance levels, which are the prices at which trends will tend to reverse direction. The support level indicates where the price will likely find “support” as it goes down and start to turn back up again. The resistance level is the opposite: the price where a trend tends to stop rising and start dropping.

When it comes to actually using pivot points, most traders refer to the "5-point-system." This system uses the previous day's high (H), low (L) and close (C), along with two support levels (S1 and S2) and two resistance levels (R1 and R2). The pivot points are calculated as follows:

The printing industry has been earning big cash as a result of the increase in the demand of the printing press. But the general use of printing has made life difficult for many of the animals and plants as well. The pollution caused by the chemicals used in printing is very high. Nobody can deny the fact that the ozone layer has become porous due to the pollution caused by the humans but still the people are apathetic and continue to pollute the earth. The people have become so careless that knowingly they do not take any measures for preventing the pollution.

The printing industry has been adding to the pollution and hence the people should be aware of it and use the non polluting ways. There are many non polluting printers found in the market. But as they are a little costly the people do not buy them and use those printers that pollute the environment. The use of the ... Читать дальше »

Shopping online has opened so many doors for both the customer and business owner.

All of a sudden, the commission of a sale can be processed and complete within seconds-online (C8FS9C7AG).

This instantaneous convenience has been extended to so many services-for one: shipping.

Of course, you cannot ship an item online-but you can order it to be shipped, and track it from its departure location to its final destination-again all with the touch of a couple of buttons.

While this automated shipping and tracking process that is now available to all parties involved with a package has streamlined business as we know it; of course, it has not ruled out the potential for shipping problems that could occur to halt the process of a package making it from one location to another.

Most often, the couriers at FedEX get your package t ... Читать дальше »
