Following Trends

By Richard Philip Cadway
This Newsletter is not a public release - for members only
Trends are as important to trading as your steering wheel is to driving. Without the steering wheel you have no control over your driving and without the proper use of trending you have no control over your trading.
The NASDAQ 100 index (NDX) gives us the direction of most of the NASDAQ stocks. When the NDX moves up most stocks move up and when it moves down most stocks also move down. This is why in previous newsletters I tell you to track the NDX. This first chart to the right is a weekly candlestick chart of the NDX. In previous newsletters I predicted what was likely to occur and strangely, I was right. Some make predictions and only show the past times they were right. I show everything before it happens and let the facts tell the truth. I use what I have taught others with Princeton's TradeTutor courses.
A new situation has formed that has given us something new to figure out. Previously I had anticipated that the trend would change with a reversal at around 1250. Notice in the second chart, the green line that I drew at that reversal point.
So, what is this chart telling us? There are a number of things happening here that can give us trade entry points and exit points. Remember, this is a weekly basis we are studying right now. First of all, there is a hammer reversal. We could simply enter buy orders Monday morning based upon the futures and the morning reversal using the low of the hammer as a stop, but for longer term investing (trying to get 10 or more points in a trade) we could wait for a continuation of the up trend to break out around the 1700 level. If the candles continue down, we could wait for a double bottom. The beauty of a move up off support is that you enter your trade at a probable low in the stock price yielding a more profitable trade.
Another Possibility is that a trading range has been created between the 1700 and 1300 levels. This means that the market would be moving sideways. In a sideways market the best trading opportunities exist going long at support areas and short at resistance areas. It would take years to show here all the information that is contained in Princeton's TradeTutor courses and this newsletter method of learning is not very efficient. If you were learning this same information using the TradeTutor, you would hear me instructing as I was moving the pointer over the graphics to make perfect sense of it all.
There are 2 main reasons why I take the time to publish this newsletter. The first is to share my knowledge with fellow traders because I love profitable trading and the second is to introduce people to Princeton's TradeTutor courses. I put an incredible amount of time and energy into developing the TradeTutor to educate traders in our trading room. At less than $1000. it is a bargain, but I know that many of you out there have limited resources. I'm am working on a new idea that will enable you to have Princeton's TradeTutor at a very low price. I mean very low. If you are interested in learning about this new program, click here to send me an email.
 
Preventing just one serious mistake can easily make the TradeTutor worth more than twice it's price! And save you from serious Emotional Damage.
We have revised our training programs to be the latest and greatest and for the first time ever are making them available to everyone on a set of CD's. This is the exact same training we offered in our trading room for $2000+. Here is another plus. We are offering a FREE CD that contains the first lesson from each course. How many times have you taken a course because it sounded so good only to discover that it was not even close to what they said it was? Well, that can't happen with the TradeTutor because you get to experience how great it is as you learn from 4 Free lessons.
