The Saturday Cut: Your Feelings Are Real, But They Aren’t Trading Signals Original
Three themes pulled this past week’s Daily Updates. Putting a stock on your watch list is not a promise to buy it. It’s a decision to pay attention because something about the chart might develop into an opportunity. That distinction becomes especially important when the market turns ugly. A stock can look promising one afternoon and gap sharply lower the next morning. If it can’t reclaim a level, build a base or offer a reasonable place to be wrong, there may be no trade there at all.

Taking advantage of price differences. © Fokusiert—iStock/Getty Images What do the theories of an 18th century Scottish economist and philosopher have to do with the price of consumer goods, financial assets like stocks and bonds, and even how to use Airbnb to make money from a property you don’t own? Surprisingly, quite a bit.

Avoiding emotional investing: Strategies for better decision-making
Mindfulness can help you identify your emotions and trading psychology. © Wayhome Studio/stock.adobe.com When we speak about financial markets, the language we use is largely based on numbers. For everything from market capitalization to earnings estimates to share prices to year-to-date performance—and most importantly, our portfolio’s profits and losses—we frame our finances using some form of the cold hard science of numbers.
The Saturday Cut: When a Bad Market Creates Dangerous Habits Original
Three themes pulled this past week’s Daily Updates. Markets have a way of resetting our definition of normal. Spend enough time in an unusual environment and eventually it stops feeling unusual. Then, when conditions move back toward something closer to historical norms, the old normal can suddenly feel extreme. That’s recency bias at work.

Calculating position size in trading: The key to risk management
What trade size is best for you? © Pixel-Shot/stock.adobe.com Position sizing is a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of risk management that determines how much of a particular asset—whether it’s stocks, options, or even cryptocurrency—you should buy or sell per trade. Position sizing involves calculating the appropriate trade size based on the entry price, stop-loss level, available capital, and the percentage of an account you’re willing to risk.

The Saturday Cut: Is Your Trading Making You Money or Making You Miserable? Original
Three themes pulled this past week’s Daily Updates. There’s always something in the market that everybody is worried about. Rates are too high. Oil is going up. The Fed is doing something. The bond market is doing something else. And it’s worth knowing about those things because eventually one of them may matter a lot. But here’s another question worth asking: Is focusing on it helping you make money? That’s where traders can get themselves into trouble.

On-balance volume: Joseph Granville’s pioneering indicator in technical analysis
Turn your technical analysis up to eleven. © EDPIXEL/stock.adobe.com On-balance volume (OBV) is a technical analysis indicator and a powerful tool that can help you recognize both the beginning and end of a stock market trend, as well as identify potential reversals. When used with other complementary indicators, on-balance volume can be a great addition to your analytical toolkit. Key Points On-balance volume uniquely combines volume and price movements. OBV can help identify market sentiment.
Stock market trading time frames: Aligning strategy and personality
Different traders, different time frames. © chones/stock.adobe.com If you’re an active trader of stocks, commodities, forex—or any tradable asset, really—consistent profitability is the holy grail. Other than the style you use—technical analysis versus following the fundamentals, for example—one of your most important decisions is choosing the right time frame in which to trade. Aligning your trading strategies with the right time frames, style, and technical indicators is crucial.
