After many years of extolling the virtues of the ADX in articles and lectures all over the world I have become closely associated with this indicator. That's fine with me and I don't mind being considered the resident expert on ADX. It is an excellent measure of trendiness and a good indicator to be linked with. |

Our previous article about using the ADX for V shaped tops and bottoms was surprisingly well received. We had a great deal of very favorable feedback from our members who experimented with it. This very valuable pattern seems to do an excellent job of spotting major turning points in almost any market from Palladium to Natural Gas to Soybeans or even Lumber. This pattern seems to work extremely well in almost all futures, stocks and even the hard to trade stock indexes. |

We have often described how the ADX (J. Welles Wilder's Average Directional Index) can be a useful tool for measuring the strength of trends. (Please review: Contradictions in using ADX and ADX Has it's Limitations if you are not familiar with our recommended use of ADX.) To briefly summarize our previous advice, we have found that when the ADX begins to rise it is telling us that a strong trend is developing. |

We get a lot of questions about various complex money management (MM) formulas and our preferences. We don't comment on this subject very often because money management is such a personal issue that it would be impossible to give any universal advice that would be specific enough to have value. Everyone seems to have different goals and tolerances for risk, not to mention varying amounts of capital for trading. |

From time to time I get some very interesting confessions. Here is a very recent one, along with a solution. "Hey Joe! I had been looking at a profitable trade setup all day. I studied indicator after indicator looking for confirmation, even though I know many are correlated and redundant. But I just kept on searching. I thought, 'Maybe I missed something.' My account is now so small that I just wanted to be sure that this was the right trade. My thought was that I must take into consideration anything and everything that could cause this trade to fail. I can't afford to lose any more money. What should I do?" |

At Trading Educators we only use Price and Volume Charts to identify high probability trades. The Law of Charts™ describes only four chart formations on the price charts which present trading opportunities, then specifies entry and exit targets based upon those four chart formations. In the following we will present you these four major chart formations and how to trade them. |

Markets move between low volatility trading range moves to high Volatility trend moves. One of the best ways to see this taking place is with the Bollinger Bands. When a market makes a extremely narrow range move, the Bollinger Bands will noticably narrow together. When the bands narrow down, it shows an extremely low volatiltiy market. |

We do everything for a reason. The reason behind any act is, for the most part, unconscious. If we want to change a behaviour we need to identify the reason, the underlying objective, and examine it. We need to examine it to determine whether this objective, this assumption, supports us in what we want to do now. |

A lot of traders are trading the stock indexes like the FTSE, the DAX, the S&Ps, NASDAQ and the DOW, but rather than use futures they are using spread betting firms. The reasons for using these firms is that they require very small amounts of capital to get started, a trader can trade very small amounts (like ?1 a point on FTSE as opposed to ?10 for FTSE futures) and these firms make opening an account so easy. I understand the lure of being able to open an account with very little money and trading small amounts, but I have some serious considerations about using spread betting as a realistic vehicle for professional trading. |

The issue of direct access is an important one and it becomes more important the more short term your trading is. The market can change from a state of seeming paralysis to one of shocking volatility and activity in a flash. The length of time it takes between you deciding to enter an order and the order actually being in the market is obviously important. When I first started trading I used a phone broker and was dismayed that my fills would often be so far from the price the market was trading when I first entered the order. |
