I base the majority of my trading decisions on technical indicators and chart analysis--and also on market psychology. However, I do not ignore important fundamentals that could impact the markets I'm trading. Neither should you. In this feature I'd like to share with you the types of fundamentals in various markets about which technically oriented traders should be aware. While this article will be most beneficial to beginning and intermediate traders, the experienced traders may enjoy it as a "refresher." |

A lot of email has come in from readers asking me how to improve upon "pulling the trigger" to enter a trade. How many traders out there have ever pondered a potential trade for so long that once they actually got ready to execute it, they then got cold feet due to concern they had missed the move? |

Experienced futures traders know there are many correlations among futures markets - some of which are valuable guides in helping to determine specific market trends, and some of which are fickle. This educational feature will examine some basic correlations among futures markets, and will likely be most beneficial to the less-experienced traders. However, it just might be a good refresher for the experienced traders who may have forgotten a few of the market correlations. |

A fellow emailed me recently, asking: "Without giving away any precious secrets, could you tell me a way to improve my entries and exits (on trades)? It seems nobody wants to share their system." Well, first of all, I don't have any trading "secrets." What I do have is many years of market experience, including studying the markets and technical analysis--and listening carefully to the best and brightest traders share their philosophies on successful trading. (You should be suspicious if anyone tries to tell (or sell) you any trading "secrets.") |

In this tip I want to briefly describe my ten favorite trading books. I'm not going to give them in any particular order, because I'm not sure I can rank them that concisely. However, these are my ten favorites and I've ranked them alphabetically by author, except that three of the books are my own and I've included them at the end. In addition, most of them are classics, so my description of each of them will be brief. |

If you buy a newsletter, you probably get a monthly trading recommendation. And that is usually a recommendation to buy an investment. The newsletter will also have its own stop rules (those that do have stops). As a result, the newsletter will generate a set of profit and loss statements which could be treated as R-multiples. In fact, if the newsletter does not give you initial stops, then you can probably simply use 25% of the entry price as the stop. Thus, I'd recommend risking 1% on that investment and having your total investment be 4% of your portfolio. |

I have discussed in past articles how volume and open interest can be used to help identify and confirm market situations and trading opportunities. I'll take open interest one step further in this column by examining the Commitments of Traders (C.O.T.) report, issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). |

"When it comes to planning, many traders can be compared to the German army during World War II--in that the invasion of Britain was planned but never executed, while the Battle of Britain was executed, but never planned," said John C. Tirone, senior technical analyst for Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, and a trader for 30 years. "Many traders and investors go through their sometimes very short investing lives planning trades they never execute and executing trades they never plan." |

The first variable in the snow fight metaphor was the wall of snow. If the wall is gone, you have no protection from the snowballs. Hopefully, all of you figured out that the wall stands for the equity in your account. And generally the bigger your equity, the safer you are from disaster. |

My ideas for educational feature topics usually come from readers' suggestions or from tidbits I have gleaned from many years of studying and trading futures markets and stocks. I also get educational topic ideas from discussing markets with my peers in the newsletter and trading advisory services industry. For this educational feature, I don't have any one topic that I will focus upon, but instead will give you a few more trading "nuggets." |
