By: Nadeem_Walayat
This is a continuation of my series on how to interpret and trade the Financial Markets (as opposed to forecast), specifically building upon my last article that summarised the key elements of trading in terms of reacting to price movements in real time (Stock Market Crash Investing Lessons and the Real Secrets of Successful Trading ). This article seeks to expand on one key component which is the role chaos theory plays in interpreting triggers for action.

Technical Analysis - ‘Linear Weighted Moving Average’ (LWMA) / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Submissions
Marcus Holland writes: The LWMA is a technical indicator which responds faster than the ‘Simple Moving Average’ (SMA) to new price developments because its latest readings are emphasized more than its older ones. However, the LWMA is not as popular as the (SMA) and the ‘Exponential Moving Average’ (EMA). The LWMA was designed to counter the lagging problems identified with the SMA in a similar way as the EMA.

By: David_Banister
The work at my firm centers firmly around a combination of fundamentals and catalysts, and crowd behavior. Yes, it’s crucial to understand herd mentality if you want to consistently enter profitable swing trades at the right time and price.

By: Sam_Chee_Kong
What offers the challenges of a chess game, thrill of a poker game yet it is so difficult to make money and only a handful of professionals managed to do well? It looks deceptively simple, offers the glitz of a movie star and everyone claims to be an expert in it and yet most of them lost money. The answer is the financial market which is fascinating, thrilling, and entertaining and opens 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

What we use at my ATP service is a combination of fundamental analysis and catalyst spotting inter-twined with charting techniques. Most of our work revolves around buying substantial dips in a strong stock, 3x ETF’s, or reversal patterns. 3x ETF’s are great for short term swings as they function almost exclusively on crowd behavioral patterns, but it also applies to individual stocks.

By: InvestmentContrarian
John Paul writes: We’re two weeks away from surviving the Mayan Doomsday and three weeks away from stepping over the fiscal cliff. But the unabated student loan debt is just getting warmed up.

Investors Need Strong Stomachs… Not Big Brains / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Investment_U
Alexander Green writes: It’s great fun to read heroic investment stories about individuals who made fortunes as a result of exceptional insights or sheer genius.
