Thank you, MMS! I deal primarily (exclusively) in stocks. Those with a history of large, dependable dividends: AGNC, EVEP, NLY, Etc. I'm "scanning the globe" for as much information as possible so as to make sense of the various dates involved, so I don't have money tied up when I don't need to...or, worse, miss out on the divvy entirely. That hasn't happened as of yet!

 

Thank you for the welcome..Best wishes to all! J.

 

I trade stocks too ... NLY is one of my current holdings. Great dividend but a little worried about their business model when interest rates rise. From your note are you dividend scalping? How is that working out for you?

Hi folks,

 

I'm brand spanking new to TL, just joined today, and this is my first post. I've thought about trading the markets for quite sometime, but only recently decided to take the plunge and start climbing the learning curve.

 

I think I'm at the point where I'm beginning to know what I don't know, which is probably a pretty good place to be (certainly better than not knowing what you don't know).

 

Anyway, I look forward to learning from all of you.

G'Day all,

 

Another newby, this time from Australia (i've noticed a few Aussie's on here already).

 

I've been learning for about 3 years now, and am currently working on my mechanical system, which will be (at least initially) focussing on equities on the ASX.

 

I have the structure of the system sorted, and am now testing and refining the concepts.

 

Have already read some great material on TL, and am looking forward to learning from the crew here. Hopefully I can occasionally add another view to the topics discussed.

 

Cheers!!

 

P.S. - Love the TL lab flask logo.

Iwshares, I read a new book called "The Gartley Trading Method".. Ross Beck has written a book to which I wish I had read 4 years ago when I started trading, it would have saved me Thousands of Dollars and years of time. Through the writings of this new book, Ross Beck has removed the complicated misunderstandings of Gartley, Elliott and Gann and combined them into a simply trading method that is easy to understand even for the beginner. The book compliments his low cost video course now available with the opportunity for anyone who wants to succeed in the trading business with a reliable mechanism. This mechanism is one that has reduced the risk of failure and increased the opportunity for success more now then ever before. I know of no better method (mechanism) on the market today that could even remotely compare to this one. Without question, Ross Beck has shared with the world a method of tremendous value and I cannot praise him enough. The author also provides a strategy for entry and exit for this success to happen.

Hi Guys

I have been trading for a while losing money and making it back, basically a back and forth scenario without being consistently profitable. I hope I can learn from all of you and take my trading to a new level.

Thanks

Hi !

 

I have been trading for last 5 years, have lost quiet some money. Trading on Demo a/c for last 2 years. I seem to have a startegy in place but many times feel "trigger-shy". Have to get rid of this and then do the same when doing real trading.

    • Date: 16th May 2024. Market News – Stagflationary Risk for Japan; Bonds & Stocks Higher.   Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks and bonds gave a big sigh of relief after CPI and retail sales came in below expectations, supporting beliefs the FOMC will be able to cut rates by September. The markets had positioned for upside surprises. Wall Street surged with all three major indexes climbing to fresh record highs. Technical buying in Treasuries was also supportive after key rate levels were breached, sending yields to the lows since early April. Fed policy outlook: there is increasing optimism for a September rate cut, according to Fed funds futures, BUT most officials say they want several months of data to be confident in their actions. Plus, while price pressures are receding, rates are still well above the 2% target, keeping policy on hold. But the market is now showing about 22 bps in cuts by the end of Q3, with some 48 bps priced in for the end of 2024. Stagflationary Risk for Japan: GDP contracted much sharper than anticipated, for a 3rd quarter in a row. This is mainly due to consumer spending. The GDP deflator though came in higher than expected but still down from the previous quarter. The sharper than anticipated contraction in activity will complicate the outlook for the BoJ, and dent rate hike bets. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex slumped to 103.95, the first time below the 104 level since April 9. Yen benefitted significantly, with USDJPY currently at 154.35 as easing US inflation boosted bets on the Fed easing monetary policy this year, weakening USD, boosting the Yen. Gold benefited from a weaker Dollar and a rally in bonds and the precious metal is trading at $2389 per ounce. At the same time, the precarious geopolitical situation in the Middle East is underpinning haven demand. Oil prices rebounded slightly after the shinking of US stockpiles and the risk-on mood due to declined US Inflation. However USOil is still at the lowest level in 2 months, at 78.57. Market Trends:   The NASDAQ popped 1.4% to 16,742. The S&P500 advanced 1.17% to 5308, marking a new handle. And the Dow rose 0.88% to 39,908. Treasury yields tumbled sharply too on the increasingly dovish Fed outlook. Additionally, the break of key technical levels extended the gains to the lowest levels since early April before the shocking CPI data on April 10 boosted rates.

    • Date: 17th May 2024. Market News – Asian and European futures followed Wall Street lower. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The Dow topped 40,000 for the first time ever, but was unable to close with that historic handle. Concurrently, the S&P tried for its 24th record high this year but failed too. The rise in Treasury yields after stronger than expected import prices, and a drumbeat from Fed officials that rates need to remain high for longer, encouraged profit taking. Most Asian equity markets and European futures have followed Wall Street lower, after US data dented rate cut hikes. Chinese data showing slowed consumption and a drop in home sales, although industrial production numbers looked relatively robust. Japan’s core consumer inflation slowed for a 2nd month in a row in April from a year earlier, while the core consumer prices index (CPI) is expected to decelerate to 2.2% from 2.6% in March, the lowest level in 3 months, but still at or above the central bank’s 2% target for more than two years. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex firmed slightly to 104.518 and up from the day’s nadir of 104.080. But it held a 104 handle for a second straight day. It traded above the 105 level from April 10 until May 15. Silver has surged nearly 25% this year, outpacing Gold and becoming a top-performing commodity, though it remains relatively inexpensive compared to gold. Both metals have hit record highs due to central-bank buying and increased interest in China. USOil is 0.75% higher at $79.23. Market Trends:   All three major US indexes closed slightly in the red after posting all-time highs on Wednesday. The NASDAQ closed with a -0.26% decline, while the S&P500 lost -0.21%, and the Dow was off -0.1% at 39,869. It was a corrective day for Treasuries too. Bonds unwound part of their recent rally that took rates down to the lows since early April. Always trade with strict risk management.
