Video Review of the Indexes 7-19-2009
July 19, 2009 at 4:19 pm
What a move last week, huh? A 7% spike across the board in the indexes is certainly one way to get the attention of traders.
Especially those caught short after the creation of lower highs and lower lows in recent weeks.
We’ve got a new week fast approaching, and anything goes. That means it could be a dull, quiet week with no momentum. Or it could be another rip-roaring surge to new multi-month highs. Or something else.
That’s a big part of why I’m a trader – there’ll be opportunity to profit no matter what happens. As long as you show up!
This clip was also posted over on the Trading Videos site (as always), and perhaps you’ve seen it there – but in case you didn’t, I wanted to put it here on the blog for you.
Let me highly suggest clicking the “HD” on the video player and then going full-screen for best quality.
Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you here soon with more. Until then…

One Way to Review Your Trades
July 9, 2009 at 4:47 pm
If you’re at all like me, every now and then certain aspects of your trading will stand out as having changed. Sometimes that’s for the better, other times for the worse.
While it’s fun to see improvement over time, one key to trading success is the ability to modify one’s approach periodically in order to stay on track.
I think of it like that statistic you’ve heard about how much of the time an airplane is just a little off course when in flight, with the pilot constantly putting it back on line toward its destination.
As traders, we have the same responsibility. We maintain our direction by reviewing (mentally or physically) how we’re doing, and then by making the necessary adjustments.
Well, last night I recognized that one particular strategy which I happen to trade has been off a little lately.
So what did I do?
I got up early this morning (that’s part of preparation) and spent some time going over some of my historical trades when this strategy was really on, and I compared what I found there to how I’ve been trading this strategy lately. It was an eye-opening exercise, and so far, a profitable one.

TheStockBandit University Has Launched!
March 12, 2009 at 9:14 am
There is a lot to be thankful for right now if you’re a trader. But if you’ve been part of the buy-and-hope crowd throughout the past 16 months, it’s been a tough ride – and might not be over yet.
Ignoring account statements sure isn’t the most responsible way to react right now, and yet it’s probably incredibly common. Those familiar with that mentality are quite likely rethinking their approach, especially given the fact that the S&P 500 has actually lost 40% over the past decade.
Index funds, schmindex funds.
As a trader for the past 11 years, I’ve come to appreciate the flexibility that trading offers. I wasn’t full-time initially, and yet I still recognized the aspect of defense which trading offers – a luxury that the buy-and-hope crowd knows nothing about.
During that time, I’ve run across many people who know a little about “the market” but very little about trading. Things like hardware, software, lingo, order types, psychology, money management and much more are just not the kinds of things that automatic investment plan types are familiar with. So when the market takes an all-out beating like it has since the 2007 top, many in the longer-term crowd would consider becoming short-term but simply don’t know how.
Learning About Trading
All along, I’ve been providing a premium service for those who are swing trading and day trading, but those who don’t understand trading to begin with are not going to benefit from it. They need a trading education.
There’s a huge information gap between investors and traders, so I set out to bridge that gap with the creation of TheStockBandit University.
TheStockBandit University is a 4-week course set up in an on-demand video format to teach those with the desire to learn about trading.
To clarify…
This is not a what-to-trade course.
This is a course for the aspiring trader seeking some trading education. It is designed to take you from 0 to 60 in the trading realm in just 4 short weeks. It’s there to equip you to start taking control and stop getting shredded in this (or any other) bear market.
Stop by the homepage and check out the intro video for more information on how to learn trading if you fall into that category. Because remember, the idea isn’t to invest but to Trade Like A Bandit!

Trading Videos to Make You Better – TheStockBandit.TV
January 14, 2009 at 2:26 pm
For some time now, we’ve been producing a free newsletter over at TheStockBandit.com for those who are on the email list.
What started out as a free written newsletter ultimately morphed into free trading videos – and for good reason! Not only does the video format make the experience much more fun and exciting, but also far more insightful and informative.
There’s simply no comparison when it comes to video vs. the written format, which is why last year the Bandit Broadcast (our premium stock newsletter) also switched to video format.
Through the videos, I’m able to show & tell what I’m talking about. As a result, the feedback has been outstanding.
Introducing TheStockBandit.TV
In recent weeks, we’ve been working on a new way to distribute the free videos, and I think you’re going to love it. The solution is a brand new, stand-alone site set up solely for the purpose of these videos.
TheStockBandit.TV is a location where you can watch trading videos to your heart’s content! It’s a site where each video will be archived and available to you 24/7. Jump from clip to clip, or search for a topic and see if it has been covered. If not, just use the contact form and submit your request for what you’d like to see in a future episode.
These are trading videos, so each one you view is designed to help you become a better trader. Sometimes they’ll cover general trading topics or discuss a concept which is vital to your success. Other times, they’ll introduce helpful tips and tools for streamlining your trading process and narrowing your focus for better trading.   Every video is concise, brief, and helpful, so that your time is always well-spent.
You’ll find new videos added regularly, so you will not want to miss what’s coming. Therefore, be absolutely sure to subscribe to the RSS feed, or join our free email list to be notified anytime new episodes are posted.
Here are those links once again:

Market View Video January 4, 2009
January 4, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Although 2008 brought about one of the worst bear markets in history, it ended on an upbeat note with the indexes climbing higher in the final sessions. That paved the way for some additional upside as 2009 got underway with a solid rally last Friday.
That rally produced an important breakout from multi-week trading ranges which had prevented the major averages from making any meaningful headway. With resistance now broken, on a technical basis this market should be free to continue north for a little while before the next important levels are approached.
The biggest key will be volume, as we’ve seen considerably light trading activity around the holidays (which is typical and expected). This week as traders return to their desks en masse, we should see some marked improvement in participation, which could also shed some light on whether or not this breakout will prove trustworthy.
So as you start to build your trading plan for this week, be sure to stop by and check out this week’s Market View video over at the main site for a close look at the levels to keep an eye on.
