This was another game changer as John found a way to make trading options on premium decay understandable by anyone no matter their trading skill level.

Why did so many traders fight for a spot at this webinar? I think it has a lot to do with the video primer John send us earlier in the week giving us just a taste of what John would show us in more detail at the webinar.

In this webinar John will discuss....
* Why trading options are perfect for newbies, retirees, part time traders, and full time traders
* Why options are safer than trading stocks, futures or forex while holding on for bigger winners
* One strategy he uses for consistent trading results that you can use the next trading day
* The brain dead rules to follow so you can know exactly how to trade this one set up for consistency
* How traders get sucked into buying the wrong stocks at the wrong price so you never get suckered into a trade again
And much more….

It’s Official, We Are In A Bear Market For the S&P 500
How much further do we have to go on the downside? That’s a legitimate question, however, with Bear markets they tend to persist longer and take more pain than most investors are willing to sit through.
As you know from watching our videos, we are projecting lower levels for the S&P 500, as well as the banks and financial institutions. Those moves on not over yet.
In today’s presentation, we will be talking about three markets that are in the news. This will be a regular feature and we will try to bring you information that is timely, informative and educational. We will be talking about stocks, the Forex markets, and the futures markets.
The downward trend in the crude oil market continues with crude oil hitting a low today just below $75 a barrel. Our Trade Triangle technology has been all over this market and is presently short from $96.04 a barrel.
The beauty of following our Trade Triangle technology is that it’s totally non biased and it follows what the markets are doing, instead of what politicians, the news, or pundits are saying about a particular market. Intermediate and Long term traders should continue to be short the crude oil market.
November crude oil closed down $2.19 a barrel at $75.42 today. Prices closed nearer the session low today and hit a fresh 16 month low. A lower U.S. stock market and firmer U.S. dollar index pressured crude oil again today. The crude oil bears are in firm near term technical control.

Has the Yen and Dollar Projection Changed.....What Does the Yen and Dollar Rally Have in Store For Us?
We've been asked by an overwhelming number of readers for Chris's take on the currency markets and we think this is an amazing look he has shared with us today! Most of what you read about the currency markets and Forex trading is thin and lacks value. This is MUCH different...
Over the past few years Forex traders have really had to step up their game in order to continue making money in the currency market. Back in the day before currency trading was main stream, currencies used to trend in a direction for a long period of time with a low level of volatility. But with so many individuals now involved speculating on price action coupled with international concerns in most countries, the once slow and steady currency market now moves like the stock market with large price swings on a weekly and even daily basis.
With currency trading growing at an incredibly fast rate, stock traders have been giving tools to trade currencies using ETFs. If you are familiar with leveraged ETFS then you have most likely seen the huge opportunities (100,200 even 400% gains) which they can provide during major trends. Below are a couple major trends that both Forex and ETF traders should be keeping their eye on.
Japanese Yen – 30 year Monthly Chart
Over the last couple years China has taken most of Japan’s manufacturing, creating some terrible fundamentals overall for the Yen. With a weakening economy and the Yen making a major top in 1995, I feel we could be seeing a 16 year double top forming. This means shorting the Yen for a multiyear correction (bear market). This could generate some serious gains in the coming 2-5 years with very little work.
YCS 200% Short Yen Exchange Traded Fund – Daily Chart Setup
This fund allows stock/ETF traders to play the currency market within a regular trading account. The YCS fund is a 200% leveraged inverse fund, meaning this fund goes up in value as the Yen declines. For example, if the Yen drops 10% in value YCS will rise 20%.
Everyone has seen that infomercial to cook food with the saying “Set-It-And-Forget-It!” Well that’s more or less what this position will be like if we get a setup to buy this fund. This trade could easily last 5+ years with the potential to generate 150% – 400% gain.
US Dollar Weekly Chart Setup
Taking a look at the more common currency “The Dollar”. It has been forming a similar price pattern and is trying to form a base and bottom. The dollar does have one major issue which will most likely cause a breakdown thus an even lower value in the coming year. The problem is that the fed reserve constantly prints money increasing the money supply and devaluing the dollar (quantitative easing).
Currently, the dollar is trading within a large range and is poised for a short term bounce. There will not be any major trends until a breakout of this trading range to either the up or down side.
Major Currency Trends for Major Gains
In short, while playing shorter term trends is exciting and rewarding and keeps us busy on a daily/weekly basis, it is nice to have some long term positions at work which slowly mature into large percentage gains which boost you’re overall portfolio value each year with little work. Both the Yen and Dollar look like there is big potential just around the corner using the buy and hold mentality.
Each year I find 3-5 major opportunities where I can put some money to work, not tie up much capital and if they move 150% or more in my favor then those small investments boost my overall yearly portfolio gains substantially.
I do have another major trend setup forming which I’m calling the “Holy Cow” setup… which could be a real money maker this year. The exciting thing about it is that I have not seen ANYONE talk about this investment in years…

It's Not All About The U.S. Dollar......Here is Some Other Ways to Make Money in the Forex Market
In today's short video from MarketClubs Adam Hewsion he brings up the question of why the dollar is so focused on by traders in the Forex markets. Is it because of it's being considered the strongest currency in the world?
Sadly, the main reason is its declining value against the other major currencies. There are several ways to look at the foreign exchange markets and one of them is to compare other major currencies. For example, you could be looking at the euro against the Japanese yen or any number of combinations in between.
In today's video we will be looking at the Swiss franc versus the Japanese yen over the past 12 months. I'm going to be showing you a very simple, yet very effective, approach that has proven to be 72% accurate in 2010-2011 when trading this particular cross rate.
In fact, using this easy to understand approach, you would have made just seven trades in approximately 12 months. As you can see, this is not a hyperactive approach. However, it will put the odds of making money on your side if you stick to the game plan. As in all trading, having a game plan in foreign exchange is extremely important.
If after watching this video you would like to know more about our trading system and the indicators we use just take us up on our FREE two week trial of MarketClub.
We hope you find this video informative and educational. As always our videos are free to watch and there are no registration requirements. All we ask is that you let us know what you think by leaving a comment, talk about us on your blog, Tweet to a friend or share us on Facebook.

In today's video we will be looking at the Swiss franc versus the Japanese yen over the past 12 months. I'm going to be showing you a very simple, yet very effective, approach that has proven to be 72% accurate in 2010-2011 when trading this particular cross rate.
In fact, using this easy to understand approach, you would have made just seven trades in approximately 12 months. As you can see, this is not a hyperactive approach. However, it will put the odds of making money on your side if you stick to the game plan. As in all trading, having a game plan in foreign exchange is extremely important.
If after watching this video you would like to know more about our trading system and the indicators we use just take us up on our FREE two week trial of MarketClub.
We hope you find this video informative and educational. As always our videos are free to watch and there are no registration requirements. All we ask is that you let us know what you think by leaving a comment, talk about us on your blog, Tweet to a friend or share us on Facebook.

Did George Soros Read This Book to Make a Cool Billion?
Adam Hewison, co-founder of MarketClub just returned from a fact finding mission fro China and returned more excited then ever about his time tested methods on trading these equity and currency markets and how he feels about how legendary investor George Soros made 1 billion dollars in the British pound shortly after his book on foreign exchange was published.
Coincidence? Maybe, but now you can decide and it won't cost you a dime.
20 years ago when his book "Right On The Money: The definitive guide to forecasting foreign exchange rates," was published, it was a huge hit with bank traders and the hedge fund crowd.
One legendary hedge fund trader, by the name of George Soros, may have read my book as he pulled a cool 1 billion dollars in profits from the British Pound in 1992. This huge profit attests to the fact that there are enormous profits to be made in the foreign exchange markets.
Now, for the first time he is publishing "Right on the Money" in electronic format.
In fact, many of the same principles that major hedge fund managers use today to make big profits you will learn about in his new e-book.
A KILLER PRODUCT
That's what Stocks and Commodities Magazine had to say about "Right on the Money" when they reviewed Adam's book. Now, 20 years later you will learn how "a killer product," with its many powerful trading secrets, will help keep you on the right track and ahead of the game no matter what happens to the economy.
THE ULTIMATE MARKET
Money is the ultimate market and I'm betting my reputation that his new e-book on foreign exchange can help make you money. The good news is, it won't cost you a dime.
Something for nothing? You're kidding me right?
No, I am not kidding, in fact I am very serious about wanting to make this book available to everyone who is concerned about their money in what appears to be some very unsettling times that lay ahead of us.
20 years ago my book sold for $125 to major banks and hedge funds everywhere. In today's dollars Adam tells me it would sell for double that amount, which would put it out of reach for most ordinary folks.
So why, you maybe asking yourself, is this e-book on forex available for free?
Here's the reason, Adam has been pretty lucky in the markets and have reached a stage in my life where I am very comfortable and the opportunity to make another six or seven figures is not going to change my life. His reward is going to be your feedback after you download my new e-book. We want you to see and fully understand how the foreign exchange market really works, not just for the last three to six months, but the last several decades.
AN OLD HUNGARIAN PROVERB
There is an old Hungarian proverb that I believe in, and Adam uses it in his book, "The past is the teacher of the future". Only by learning how the markets have worked in the past can you possibly be successful in the future. Nothing really changes in the world, if it did we would all be living in utopia and that is, as we all know, not the case.
THIS MAN CREATED FINANCIAL FUTURES
Leo Melamed, Chairman Emeritus of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, now the CME Group is largely credited with creating financial futures in the United States, here is what Mr. Melamed had to say in the forword to Adam's book, "Hewison's exhaustive compilation and explanation of chart data, covering 17 years of currency market movements, is a meaningful contribution to the understanding of foreign exchange and excellent educational reference for every serious trader."
Take it from the man who helped create financial futures as we know them today and receive this new e-book while it's still available with Adam's complements.
YOU HAVE ZERO RISK
You don't have to take any financial risk to receive this new e-book. All you have to do is enroll in MarketClub for 30 days. RISK FREE. That's right you have zero risk.
If you are not 100% satisfied within the first 30 days, MarketClub will refund every dime you've paid...no questions asked. On this simple business philosophy, MarketClub has grown into one of the most respected financial websites in the world. It has everything to do with performance and integrity.
Once you enroll with us, you'll see why that's true, and you'll have taken the first step in restoring your wealth. But wait, we have two more bonuses we want you to have if you act in the next 48 hours.
* FUTURE MEMBER BONUS # 1. "17 Money Making Candlestick Formations"
Here are some of my favorite candlestick chart setups that we would like to share with you. (VALUE $35.00)
* FUTURE MEMBER BONUS # 2. "Keep It Simple" This booklet explains our market proven approach in keeping it simple.(VALUE $35.00)
Of course, you'll also receive the big member bonus which we promised you earlier.
* BIG MEMBER BONUS: "Right on the Money" is "a killer product." That's what Stocks and Commodities Magazine had to say about "Right on the Money."
(VALUE $250.00)
Our special offer and $320 in valuable bonuses today makes it easy, convenient and risk-free for you to get started.
Here's to your future "George Soros" success, and if you've read this far and are still undecided about enrolling in MarketClub, remember this, these big Soros-like returns will continue whether you join MarketClub or not. Could huge annual returns make a difference in your financial future like it did for Kevin?
"I would like to take this opportunity, to thank MarketClub's Trade Triangle and alert system, which alerted me to the recent Cable (British Pound) and Dollar trade netting me 10,000 pounds within two months, Thanks again MarketClub."
Kevin, W., Great Britain
There are thousands of other members who, like Kevin, are benefiting everyday from the MarketClub service. Best of all now you don't have to worry as you have zero financial risk.
You have our 30 day risk-free trial which will allow you to explore for yourself firsthand how MarketClub can protect your money and keep you on the right financial track in the future - no matter what this or any future government does.
Again.....if we are right, and the returns we discussed continue which as we expect, then it will be the best decision you'll make in 2010. If we are wrong, you can cancel at any time and get your money back and keep all the bonuses with my complements. What could be any fairer than that.
So make the move today to the winners circle and remember you have complete 100% control of your money at all times.
"It won't work for me" (That little voice inside your head is a killer that you must defeat to become successful. If that's what's holding you back. Give yourself a break and the benefit of the doubt, because remember I'm taking all of the risk here. You might just surprise yourself.)
Start today, and be one step closer to achieving your financial goals. You have no valid reason not to try MarketClub. Wouldn't it be nice to see a program that actually does what it says its going to do for a change.
Enroll in MarketClub today and watch several member's only videos and see how you too can bust the bank like Soros did. It is one of the secrets you'll find in "Right on the Money". Do it now while it is still fresh in you mind.

Leverage Misuse and Abuse in FOREX
Forex is the worldwide currency exchange market, also known as the foreign exchange market, "fx" for short. This is an over-the-counter electronic trading market for the major worldwide currencies. It offers easy entry to the average public trader and fairly low margin requirements.
However, this low margin and high leverage is also the #1 risk and cause of loss among novice Forex traders. Misuse of leverage is the Forex cardinal sin. In the article below I'm going to explain the new leverage rules, and show you exactly how to take advantage of it! To give you even more I put together this Free Forex Toolkit with an entire video section dedicated to using the new leverage rules to consistently profit…GET IT HERE.
What do we mean by low margin and what is leverage? Well basically this means that you can control a huge amount of a currency in the Forex market with a very small cash outlay. The normal stock and index options that we trade at BigTrends.com represent 100 shares of stock — you pay a premium to control/own this option. For example, in the stock option market you may be able to control the right to buy 100 shares of IBM for $500 — this is an example of leverage. However, the leverage in Forex is much greater than this in most cases … but so is the risk.
We only have to look at the recent housing market crash to see an example of where leverage and low margin caused massive losses among individual investors. People across the world were buying houses and properties beyond their means and with very little cash down. Many of these were speculative, greedy bets on a continued sharp rise in housing prices — which knowledgeable, experienced traders such as ourselves knew wouldn't continue forever. They weren't bad homeowners; they simply misused leverage.
The huge amount of potential leverage and low margin requirements in fx trading is similar to this. The latest rules allow Forex leverage for 50:1 on major currencies and 20:1 on minor currencies. Some brokers may still be able to offer 100:1 leverage. What this means is that a trader can often control millions of dollars of a currency proposition with a very small cash outlay. When novice traders allow emotions such as greed and fear to rule their trading, they often end up on the losing end of large leveraged bets.
Thanks for reading, and we've got a lot more where that came from! While you wait for our next article get our Free Forex Toolkit that will put your Forex trading on the right track!
Author Scott Downing is the Director of Research at BigTrends.com. Having learned to trade options under Price Headley, Scott was eager to make his mark on the trading world by applying his systematic approach to other asset classes. He was immediately drawn to FOREX due to the liquidity, leverage and lucrative nature of that market. From there, Scott set out to help other traders overcome their individual challenges to achieve successful FOREX trading.

Sure, we are Trading Oil....But Forex Should not be Foreign to You....Watch New Video
It's the biggest market in the world and is traded 24 hours a day, 6 days a week, and therefore one that is impossible to ignore. I'm speaking, of course, about the forex market.
The question is, is this the tail that's wagging the dog? Meaning, is the forex market, mainly the euro, dictating the trend in American and European equity markets.
The answer is yes, for the moment it is. Now, if you're not familiar with the forex markets and the euro, you should look at the ETF FXE, the spot euro, and also the euro futures market at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), as they are all tradable.
In today's short video we show you exactly how we think this currency will play out in the future. And as always, our videos are free to watch and there is no need for registration. Please leave us a comment on your thoughts on this video and the current market.

Learn How To Effectively Use Stops In This New Video
This simple trading tip can and will make a difference in your trading results in 2009.
Stops are enormously important part of a traders arsenal of trading tools. Some traders confirm that stops are the most important part of their trading armour.
So here are three ways to use stops to protect your capital and lock in profits from a trade. These three money management techniques can be used in stock, futures and forex trading.
The important rule is that you do use a real stop in the marketplace. A friend of mine joked with me that that he had never seen a “mental stop” filled electronically or in the pits.
If the market is good your stop will not be hit. If the market is bad or changing direction then you’ll want to be out of it anyway. That is why stops are so crucial to trading success.
Click Here To Watch Video
Here are the three most commonly used types of stops. Which one do you use?
(1) Dollar stop.
(2) Percentage stop.
(3) Chart stop.
If you chose (1) you’d be correct, but, you would also be correct if you had chosen 2 or 3. All three are money management stops and are used to either lock in profits or protect capital.
1) A dollar stop, is when you set a predetermined dollar amount to a trade. Let’s say you want to risk $500 on a grain trade or $750 on a stock trade. Once you get your fill back from your broker or electronically online you simply figure from your fill price where to put your stop.
Pros: Easy to implement and use.
Cons: Can place stops too close in a volatile market
————————————————–
2) Percentage stop, is a very simple way for you to place a stop on a position. Here’s how it works. Let’s say your trading account is 100,000 dollars and let’s say you only want to risk 1% of your total portfolio on any one trade. You simply take a $1,000 risk which represents 1% of your over all portfolio. This can help enormously in avoiding taking BIG LOSSES. A 1% loss is easy to absorb. A 30% or 40% loss in a trade is an account killer, and should be avoided at all costs.
Pros: Easy to implement and use.
Cons: Can place stops too close.
————————————————–
3) Chart stop, a chart stop is where you place a stop that is either above or below a crucial chart level. The good thing about a chart stop is that this level is often used by other traders. That can both be a good thing and a bad thing, here’s why. Using either one of our first two examples only you know where the stop is. With a chart stop, a great many traders/brokers know that is where the stops are. In an illiquid market this type of stop should not be used, as many times brokers gun for the stops. In a highly liquid and active market this is a good stop to use.
Pros: Very easy to implement and use.
Cons: Can’t be used in thinly traded markets.
————————————————–
So there you have it. Now you have all three ways to manage your money and protect your profits in 2009.
Use stops…let them work for you.
