===================================================================
Trading the Forex markets is risky business, make no mistake about it. As a trader, if you do not pay attention to risk first and foremost, you will lose, plain and simple. There are at least two key aspects to managing risk. One is the placement of stops and the management of the trade as it unfolds, and the other is the position size of the trade relative to the trader’s account size. If either one of those is not handled properly, the trader will lose in the end.
The good news is that both can be managed to the trader’s advantage resulting in minimizing losses and providing the opportunity for great profits.
Saturday Success Story – Kathy, Minnesota
At MarketClub, our mission is to help you become a better trader. Our passion is creating superior trading tools to help you achieve your goals—no matter which way the markets move—we promise objective and unbiased recommendations not available from brokers.
Here’s great news from a member…
“I didn’t join MarketClub right away. I watched for almost a year before deciding to invest in a membership. I watched what the Trade Triangles did during that time with my own securities. They were 100% accurate in predicting market movement. So I joined and now use the Trade Triangles and the other tools that MarketClub provides to help me decide whether to buy or sell. I’m new to trading and investing, but having MarketClub on my side gives me the confidence I need to be successful. The main reason I came to MarketClub was to help me trade in forex. I quickly found out that forex is a very volatile market. I refused to do any trading what so ever in forex until I felt confident in my skills as a trader. MarketClub is the main force behind that confidence. I invested in a forex course that teaches a specific way to trade and that only requires 20 minutes a day. The only problem is… I have difficulty choosing the right time to enter the trade or when to leave the trade. I went back to the instructor with the problem, and he said to practice. Practice is all well and good, but if you’re doing it the wrong way, it’s counter productive. MarketClub makes the decision process easier. I value the membership so much that I will not trade without it.” ~ Kathy P., Minnesota

This report is a mix of both current market action and educational material on how stocks and commodities trend (move).

Beautiful Ladies Dancing On Tables
(Originally published one year ago on 2/25/09)
Imagine you’re in your favorite restaurant enjoying a nice dinner. All of a sudden a beautiful young lady jumps up on the table and starts dancing even though there is no music.
Would that get your attention?
I know it would get my attention, not because it was a beautiful lady, but because it is out of the realm of normalcy for this restaurant to have anyone dancing on their tables.
The point I am making is this… sometimes markets act a little out of the ordinary despite what everyone is saying and thinking about them. When this happens you need to pay close attention to that market.
Why? Because that market maybe getting ready to do something totally contrary to prevailing sentiment.
Let’s Make Some Sense of Today’s Gold Market
It’s been about eight days since we did a video on gold, and given the market action today I thought I would look at what is causing the downward pressure in this market.
If you did not watch my last video on gold, I strongly recommend you click here to watch the video titled “Five Reasons Why Gold Will Not Make a New High This Time” as it will give you a bigger picture of how we see this market playing out in the next 12 months.
In today’s short video we look at an indicator that we have not talked about before in any of our videos. The indicator, which is an overlay on top of the chart, is called the Donchian Channel Indicator. Read more
The Many Moving Parts of MACD
Our guest blog post today is from Jackie Ann Patterson of BackTesting Report. Jackie’s trading experience extends back to 1994 when Silicon Valley stock options piqued her interest. In recent years, she’s focused her computer skills on the markets, back testing several indicators on 7,147 stocks over 14 years of price history. Today’s Trader’s Blog post gives an overview of the MACD indicator. You can find out more by watching the free video at The Truth About MACD.
======================================================================
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) started as a simple concept: measure the difference between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) to get early notice when they might cross. New applications evolved over the years. Now the MACD Lines and Histogram form a complex technical indicator that is used in a myriad of ways. This guest blog post describes the MACD signals in the order of their appearance on the chart, showing you which are the earliest signals to pick up a potential trend change and which indicate a mature trend.

Do You Speak Geordie?
Filed under: MarketClub Techniques, Tips & Talk
Chances are unless you grew up in the north of England (Newcastle to be exact,) you wouldn’t understand the language of the Geordies.
I recently posted on this blog some highlights from my holiday down under and in part of that blog posting I mentioned that I was from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Well, as we all know the web is an amazing tool and it wasn’t long before one of our members, who is also a Geordie, commented with some real Geordie talk.
I’m going to include his comment in this post to demonstrate a point that will be a little clearer later in this blog posting. You will probably not understand what follows, and that’s okay, because I think it is a pretty fair bet that the chances of you going to Newcastle upon Tyne are pretty slim.
See if you can understand this?

Looking At Silver for All the Wrong Reasons
Late in 2009 a lot of folks began asking us about buying silver instead of gold. At the time, we stated exactly how we felt, in that, why would you try to buy something that is not in the same league as gold? The two markets are completely different and are driven by a different set of emotions and fundamentals.
This is the first video that I’ve done on silver in quite some time, but I think it’s an important one for you to see.
One of the standout features that I noticed was the fact that when gold was making new all-time highs in early December, silver failed to take out the March 2008 high. I consider this to be a negative.
