Make Money From Financial Markets

Posted on November 27, 2012 by admin

As we head in to the year end with just 24 (US) trading days left of the year many tend to turn their attentions away from financial markets however traditionally this is a very active and profitable period for me in financial markets.

Profit from Financial Markets in December

The power of Seasonality

For those new to the concept; various studies and academic papers, including those done by the Stock Trader’s Almanac show that the stock market has a very clear bullish and bearish period. The old adage “sell in May and go away,” is more than an old wife’s tale; with over 100 years of data backing up – the seasonal bias is more than random.

Professor Ben Jacabson, Abdullah Mamun and Nuttawat Visaltanachoti have an interesting paper on the subject see: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=784186

December whilst a shorter trading month is traditionally one of the strongest months of the year with the S&P500 moving up an average 1.8%.

We can use these seasonal tendencies to profit from financial markets by using Financial Spread Bets, CFDs, Fixed odds bets with a company such as www.betonmarkets.net  or just buying Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

Everyone tells you when to buy but no one tells you when to sell

Posted on November 18, 2012 by admin

I have now been investing and trading for over 27 years, in that time I have seen plenty of trading systems, newsletters and gurus come and nearly all go. What I have always noticed is that:

Vincestanzionebuysell

a)      They would tell you when to buy but would never tell you went to sell and get out. It’s often the case with tipping services or other media.

b)      They would also want to you to buy and would never recommend short selling as if it is some great sin to make money from down moves.

 

So when I wrote Making Money From Financial Spread Trading I knew exactly want I wanted to offer, it had to have a clear buy and sell rule and the system had to be happy to go short (profit from down moves) as well as up. Today you can also use Inverse ETFs, which go up as the underlying go down.

Right now my system is short S&P500, DOW, FTSE100, NASDAQ100 and about every major stock index since the start of October 2012, but what’s important that it will give a clear signal when to close this position and it will also give a new buy back signal which will allow us to profit from the next up move.

Forex trading for beginners – Some facts you need to know

Posted on November 6, 2012 by admin

Everyday I receive emails from wannabe new traders that want to make it big in “FX” or “Forex” yet I never receive emails asking me about making money in stocks or shares. The video clip below gives you some sound information on what you should know before going all in on FX.

Can you really make money from Forex Trading?

I am not anti FX, in fact I started out in FX back in 1985 and yes their are opportunities to profit from currency trading but not from day trading and scalping “pips”. The last 2 or 3 years I would say the best opportunities have been in shares especially US listed stocks. To learn more about how to trade all financial markets then go to www.winonmarkets.net

Trend Following How Great Traders Make Millions in Up or Down Markets

Posted on October 24, 2012 by admin

Many have heard of the Turtle traders or trend following, in this video Vince Stanzione explains more about how he follows trends and is able to make money in up and down markets. Vince shows clear examples taken from his Making Money from Financial Spread Trading 2013 course DVDs.

Trend following is an investment or trading strategy which takes advantage of longer term rising or falling prices (short trading). Traders who employ a trend following strategy do not aim to forecast or predict specific price levels; they simply get on the trend and ride it until at some stage that trend starts to reverse.  A market “trend” is a tendency of a financial market price to move in a particular direction over time. It can sometimes we call momentum trading.

If there is a turn contrary to the trend, we exit and wait until the turn establishes itself as a trend in the opposite direction. Trend following can be used by smaller traders using Exchange Traded Funds, Financial Spread Betting, CFDs and FX accounts.

Whilst Trend following tends to be associated with the commodities market the system can be used on shares, Fx, Stock indices and commodities. Trend following is ideal for those that don’t want to be watching prices all day.

Making Money from Financial Spread Betting – Bulls & Bears

Posted on October 14, 2012 by admin

The big advantage of Financial Spread Betting, Contracts For Differences (CFDs) or Option trading is the ability to profit from down moves as well as up. At any time in a financial market you will always get those that believe a share or market is overpriced (the Bears) and those that think a market will go up (The Bulls).

Right now the great minds at Goldman Sachs are forecasting that the US broad index the S&P500 will end 2012 near the 1250 level, that’s a step fall of about 14% from the currently levels. They then see the price rebound and are looking for the S&P500 to make new highs in 2013.

As I stated in my previous update I prefer to “trade with what I see rather than not what I think.” To learn more about how to profit from up and down moves in financial markets, shares, commodities and currencies please go to www.winonmarkets.net

Money Management Video Tips – Financial Spread Betting

Posted on September 30, 2012 by admin

Below you will find a great video by Chris from http://thespreadtrader.wordpress.com/ which has some tips on money management. Chris is one of my students and bought Making Money From Financial Spread Trading.  My experience is that most using Financial Spread Betting or other forms of trading don’t spend enough time on a simple Money Management plan. Often those with smaller accounts don’t bother and their goal is to make as much money as possible and go all in one or two bets and I don’t need to tell you what normally happens.

Many books have been written on Money Management with complicated formulas. The key should be that no one trade should ever cause you so much damage financially or emotionally that you cannot continue. How every sure you are the XYZ is going to rocket, only a percentage of your trading bank should be risked.

“However “smart” we think we are in trading and investing we are dealing with unknowns, what is known and what we can control is how much we decide to risk on each trade, and that is what you should be spending more time on. It’s not all about knowing when to buy and sell all systems can go through bad runs and that’s when you money management really saves you.”

Trading Exchange Traded Funds – Example of a Spread Bet with IG Index

Posted on September 18, 2012 by admin

An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) can be bought or sold via an online broker and some of the larger ETFs also have traded options. You can also place a financial spread bet on many ETFs, a company such as IG Index, City Index and Cantor Index will allow you to go long or short an ETF.

For example here you can see the Biotech ETF (BBH) by making one trade you would have exposure to a basket of biotech shares the top 10 holdings would include:

 

BBH Top Ten HoldingsVince Stanzione financial spread betting on biotech shares

  1. Amgen Inc (AMGN): 15.10%
  2. Gilead Sciences Inc (GILD): 9.38%
  3. Biogen Idec Inc  (BIIB): 8.03%
  4. Celgene Corporation (CELG): 6.97%
  5. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ALXN): 5.04%
  6. Life Technologies Corp (LIFE): 4.30%
  7. Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc (AMLN): 4.25%
  8. Illumina, Inc. (ILMN): 4.15%
  9. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (REGN): 4.04%
  10. Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ONXX): 4.00%

 

 

The advantage here is that you have diversification rather than investing in just one company in what can be a very volatile sector. By using a financial spread bet we also have the advantage of leverage and the tax free advantage in the UK.

Example Spread Bet

Let’s say we want to bet on the BBH to go higher we can buy the March 2013 contract at 5408 and we decide to trade £1 per point (not you can trade US$ or £)  so a move from 5408 to 5409 is 1 point.

One month later we see the price is quoted at 5900/5920 and we decide to take profits from our Financial Spread bet so we sell at 5900. So to recap we bought at 5408 sold at 5900 = 492 points x £1 gives us a £492 profit which is tax free for UK residents. Of course we could have also done the opposite and made money from falling prices.

IBM will help power the Dow to a new all-time high in 2013

Posted on September 13, 2012 by admin

“The reason is that a man may see straight and clearly and yet become impatient or doubtful when the market takes its time about doing as he figured it must do. That is why so many men in Wall Street, who are not at all in the sucker class, not even in the third grade, nevertheless lose money. The market does not beat them. They beat themselves, because though they have brains they cannot sit tight. Old Turkey was dead right in doing and saying what he did. He had not only the courage of his convictions but the intelligent patience to sit tight.”

Jesse Livermore -Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

IBM is a stock that I have owned many years, Its a member of the DOW 30 and a true multi national blue chip stock. It was the strength in IBM that partly made me come out with the Dow 14200+ call around 12 months ago. As long as IBM stays strong and pushes to new highs then so will the Dow. Yes it’s had a few months of pause, base building but that is bullish. 25 year chart below. You can spread bet IBM with all spread betting companies including IG Index, Cantor Index, Capital Spreads and City Index.
