By Scott Hoffman • Jun 30th, 2010 • Category: Advice From Pros, Trading Tips

Wednesday, June 30, 2010
My advisories had a good day on Tuesday, calling the breakout in the stock index futures, the Yen, Canadian Dollar and a number of physical commodities.  Some days it’s tough to write the comments for Swing Trader’s Insight-there are times when the Taylor cycle isn’t clear, or the markets don’t do anything [...]

Flexibility in your Futures Trading Plan II

By Scott Hoffman • Apr 28th, 2010 • Category: Financials, Trading Tips

Wednesday, April 28, 2010
Yesterday I looked at the Taylor technique trade for the T Bond futures (read here).  I covered why yesterday was a Buy day, and why I don’t normally carry Taylor trades home overnight.  As yesterday ended with an inside day, I think that was a good decision; inside days are one indicator [...]

By Rob Mitchell • Apr 5th, 2010 • Category: Advice From Pros, Commodity News, Trading Tips

Monday, April 5, 2010
When something has a name that has more syllables than I can count, it usually keys me in to the idea it could be a bunch of fluff.  Moving averages are great if they are used correctly in technical trading. This is true for one reason; they introduce delay.
The amount of delay [...]

Money Management Bonanza

By Rob Mitchell • Apr 2nd, 2010 • Category: Advice From Pros, Trading Tips

Friday, April 2, 2010
One of the very worst things that can happen when you begin to trade a new trading system is to start losing right out of the gate.  Just about anyone will tell you this occurs to them, “every time” (let me hear a big Amen).  This tendency of human behavior is not [...]

Trading futures, foreign exchange, and options on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade futures, foreign exchange, or options you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk tolerance. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with futures, foreign exchange and options  trading and you could lose more than your original investment.
