Downside Movement?

February 2nd, 2010 2 comments

US Stock Market Trade

After about 2 weeks decline, finally S&P 500 closed up yesterday. We enter February with a good start. On 2010, S&P 500 started from 1115.10 and the January close was 1073.83. So there was a 41.27-point decline. I still sense some downside movement on the market. But i’m not sure what will happen in the next few days.

Let’s see what happen on the chart. I checked my intraday chart. I’ve found a pattern like this.

spy Downside Movement?

It’s very interesting to see what happen today. If market down again today, it’s likely the market will continue to go down.

If it can breakout the resistance line, the story will be totally different.

chart Investing & Trading Lesson

I already attended couple of trading seminar workshop in my country. Average fee of the workshop is about $800 – $2000 here. I’m sure it’s must be more expensive in the other country. And i am totally disagree about this price actually. Why? Because what they teach to us is only the basic. We can get all the material from books or the internet easily. It’s impossible to master this field in just couple of days workshop. Read more…

This broker has a lot of advantage than Optionsxpress. So if you already decide to trade with real money, i recommend this broker to use.

US Market Sideways. Q4 Rally not as strong as usual this year

December 14th, 2009 No comments

stockchart US Market Sideways. Q4 Rally not as strong as usual this year

Q4 Rally (Rally on Quarter 4 between October – December) on US Market known as the most consistent rally based on seasonality. Why this happen? Logically, this trend can be explained. As we  know every end of September, American people celebrate Halloween. After halloween, they will celebrate Thanksgiving. After thanksgiving there are Christmast and New Year in the end of the year. From these event, we all know that consumer spending between these 4 months is bigger than other common months in a year. So of course it’s not strange if we always see good uptrend movement on Q4. But as we know, Q4 Rally didn’t perform too good this year

Let’s see last chart of S&P 500. Read more…

How to Open Account on Optionsxpress for Online Trading

December 3rd, 2009 6 comments

Many of my colleagues ask me similar question like this “How you can make money on Stocks? How you trade online?” It’s a simple question. But seems, there still lot of people out there who don’t know where they have to start if they want to trading online. For you who totally blind about this field, first i recommend you to understand how the risk investing / trading stock/option/forex/futures/CFDs. The most important thing you must understand is you can loss all your money if you don’t have the correct trading mindset. So the first step to decide you want to enter this field or not is you know the risk and you can afford for the risk. If you ready for that, you can step to the next step. The second step is to learn the basic about investing & trading. There are lot of free knowledge about this in the internet. You also can buy some books about this in the bookstore. I will not explain about this on this post. If you already know about the basic, the third step is to open account on brokers.

For stocks & options, i reccomend 4 online brokers i’ve already tried. They are Optionsxpress, Interactive Brokers, Think or Swim, Tradestation. Some people recommend E*Trade, but i haven’t tried it yet. As i hear last year, this broker didn’t accept Indonesian Trader. That’s why i don’t registered to them. I don’t know how the rule for now. Maybe if i already tried, i will share with you here.

So. From this post, i want to give you a tutorial about how to open account on one of the online brokers i recommended, Optionsxpress.
