I am not a big casino gambler, but I have been at the venues in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, as well as in other casinos worldwide. I have observed a myriad of gamblers at the poker, black jack, roulette and craps tables. An interesting characteristic among gamblers is exhibited to me time and time again. It is this: The gamblers who appear to have money they can afford to lose usually are the ones who can win. The gamblers who appear to be using their rent or grocery money (or what I call "scared money"), and really should not be gambling, are usually the ones who lose. |

We constantly face the question, what ingredients make up a good trade? Entry; the closer that we buy off the bottoms, and sell off the tops, the greater amount of profit we can enjoy, while taking on a smaller amount of risk. Assuming the market establishes a 100-pip trading range between 1.2100 and 1.2200, it clearly makes sense that buying at 1.2110 is a better trade than buying at 1.2150, or 1.2170. |

There are several valuable technical trading tools that I use on a shorter-term and even an intra-day basis. While I am not a "day trader" and am more of an intermediate-term "position trader," I do have many readers that are day traders or trade shorter timeframes. Thus, I like to provide analysis and clues that do help out those traders who use shorter trading timeframes. |

I'd like to center this tip around some concepts that you must master as a trader. First, you need a strong initial evaluation of yourself and what you needed to do to improve your own performance. Let's look at it this way. Suppose you are in the middle of the desert. There are no roads, but you do have a map indicating where you are to go. However, what's missing is some indication of where you are now. And remember that you are in the middle of the desert. |

Every technical indicator and trading technique allows us the chance to see the market through a specific angle or point of view. These indicators standing alone may not provide accurate buy and sell signals as the market is very much multi-dimensional. However simple chart analysis allows us to isolate those points on the chart where multiple signals agree. At these points, our probabilities of being "right" increase in our favor as the market moves somewhat under the influence of a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy'. As more traders note the same signals, this implies a greater amount of buy and sell orders which inevitably drives the market higher or lower. |

"The Trend is Your Friend" is a tried and true market adage that is indeed one of the most valuable futures trading tenets. However, history shows that most markets tend to move in a non-trending, or "sideways" fashion more of the time than they are in a trending mode. There are several methods by which to trade non-trending markets. One popular method is called "swing trading." |

In the hopes of keeping things as simple as possible, it may be helpful to understand exactly what our intentions are, when maneuvering through one market or another. I like to think of trading as nothing more than simply the process of weighing all the relevant information at hand, finding the next probable direction of the market, and then waiting for the movement where the appropriate trade provides us the highest possible reward for the least amount of relative risk. |

Trend lines are lines drawn on the historical price levels that depict general direction of where the marking is heading, and provide indications of support or resistance. Drawing trend lines is a highly subjective matter. The best test of whether a trend line is a valid one is usually whether it looks like a good line. In an up trend, a trend line should connect the relative low points on the chart. A line connecting the lows in a longer-term rally will be a support line that can provide a floor for partial retracements. The down trend line that connects the relative highs on the chart will similarly act as resistance to shorter moves back higher. |

The existence of a trend in any market depends on a series of relative highs and lows. Two consecutive relative highs, each above the previous relative high, and two relative lows above the previous low would be constitute a tentative up-trend. A third relative high would confirm the trend. |
