The Worst Market For Retail Traders
It has become my sincere belief that the worst market environment for retail traders in fact are low volatility bull markets. Yes you read that right: NOT high volatility bear or endless sideways markets – it’s low volatility bull markets that wears the most on them.
(more…)Metal’s Bounce
The last seven days have been a roller coaster for precious metals, but gold has been bouncing recently. However, I want you to pay close attention to the broken trendline.
Filter the Smoke
We just added the ability to filter by options availability, so here is a recap of the filter features in SlopeCharts.
If you want to limit the symbols displayed in your watch lists or your sectors list, you can do so easily with the Filters menu items. The data panel, on the left side of SlopeCharts, can show many kinds of information, but the two panels in which Apply Filters is present are Watch Lists and Sectors.
Click on the panel title at the top to invoke the menu. You have a choice of Filter by Labels (which is related to the Labeling feature), by Sector (related to the Sector feature), or by Properties. You can also wipe out every single filter being used by choosing the Clear All Filters menu item.
Still Testing Strong Resistance
SPX has made new all time highs as expected and has gone to the resistance level I was talking about in my post a week ago. In the meantime though that trendline has risen and looks to be in the 4465-70 area now. There is no need to test that trendline, but it is strong trendline resistance if reached.
