    Natural gas rally?

    Sure. There's been some price compression the past week or so. That usually precedes a sharp advance. From a seasonal perspective, the market usually rallies into June. It might have something to do with farmers needing fertilizer for their Spring crops and expected hot weather in the summer...

    Accumulation

    (1) Did you buy any shares before the spike-up? Probably not. (2) Stop wasting your time with penny stocks. (3) The stock had a volume spike yesterday. Did that have any significance for you? Probably not. (4) If you bought into the initial spike and waited, chances are, your position would be a...

    Trading in Emerging Markets.....

    You want wisdom? Okay. When emerging markets turn into submerging markets, it really sucks. That aside, if you're so excited about them, buy single country funds and hold on for the ride.

    Name of reversal chart pattern?

    It could also just be an "A-B-C correction". Be very careful not to get too bullish and mistake the "C" wave for a "3" wave.

    Silver ETF - Volatility

    For what it's worth..............option volatility for silver futures options should rise as the underlying market rises, as it does for all physical commodities(except cattle). The silver ETF's? Are they based on silver mining company stocks or silver bullion? Anyway, they might be influenced...

    Williams %R

    You answered your own question..............."%R works well in a sideways market". When a market makes new highs or lows within the time frame you're looking at, the %R will be at an extreme. Will the market reverse? What if it keeps going in the same direction and the %R remains "stuck" where...

    Why the strong close on MidCap 400 e-mini?

    A lack of fear? Somebody wanted to squeeze out as many shorts as possible going into the weekend? Somebody wanted to close the market on its highs of the week? Institutional traders wanted to "dress up" their mid-cap portfolios? CNBC made a bearish forecast at ~2:45pm(CST) that afternoon?

    "Leg the Spread"--Anyone Read It?

    Cari Lynn, the author, wanted to marry a trader. She didn't want to become one. Besides, former journalists always make for losing traders.

    No where else to turn

    I get the idea that you are looking for "certainty" in your entries AND are terrified of taking losses. Instead of forecasting and mathematically-guessing where support & resistance are likely to be, let the market show you where they actually are and then adjust your trades accordingly. You'll...

    Dire need of advice! Promise to return favor!

    Software? What for? If you really believe Covel's version of trend-following, all you need to do is look for "key" breakout levels on daily charts, place your entry-orders in the evening, wait for the market to open the next day, see what the market did after work, place protective stops on your...

    how to place trailing stops

    In a "well-defined" uptrending market, wait for the market to close lower two days in a row, maybe three days. Initiate a long-position on-the-open the next day. Place your sell-stop at yesterday's low. Ideally, the uptrend should hopefully resume and make you rich. Do the opposite in a...

    Risk, Beta, and Margin

    Futures are always riskier because of the leverage involved. High-beta stocks can go nowhere for long periods of time making you then wish you were trading futures. Trade what you feel comfortable with.

    CME CSI Housing futures & options

    The CME Education/Marketing Department should be able to answer most of your questions. Real estate may go up or down but I see this contract being a "zero", as in zero volume and open interest beyond the second day of trading. The big failing of the contract(s) will be the subjective nature of...
