“One of the most important ways a contestant can prepare for competition is to know as much about the opponent as possible. In trading commodities, the primary opponent is the trader’s own emotions.

Markets have individual personalities or tendencies. It is important to study individual markets to learn specific identities…”

How Did a Dead Mathematician Nail Two Major Markets Yesterday?
How Did a Dead Mathematician Nail Two Major Markets Yesterday?
The markets I am referring to are the gold market and euro markets. Readers of this blog will know from our previous videos and examples that we are big fans of Fibonacci retracement lines.
In this super short video (1:49), I will show you the lines we are talking about for the above two markets. I think you’ll find it very illuminating as this example is so fresh. You will also find it very empowering.
As always our videos are free to watch and there is no need to register. Please feel free to give your feedback and comments on this blog.
All the best,

What Is Correlation Trading And Why Is It So Powerful?
We’ve spoke and taught about correlation trading before here on the Trader’s Blog, but today I’ve asked Jason Fielder (a multi-time guest blogger) to give us his insight on correlation trading. The below article is an excellent read and I HIGHLY recommend taking a few notes so you don’t miss anything. Jason has told me that he will be responding to all comments and questions you post below. Also he wanted me to give you a heads up about his new Correlation Cheat Sheets…so check that out if you have some time…but read the article first!
=====================================================================
Correlation Trading is a style of trading that is gaining momentum between traders “In the know”. In fact, the momentum is so strong, Correlation Trading is the cover of this months Futures Magazine!
As soon as you understand this methodology, not only you will understand WHY it’s so powerful, you’ll immediately want to get your hands on a few correlation strategies. Correlation trading is all about discovering a way to see what I call see “cracks” in the market.
Now for the really interesting part…
