“Trend line analysis is a little known art. It is something that takes years to train the eyes to see easily. Trend line analysis is not something easy and that is why people do not learn it. Once trained, it opens a whole new world.” Said one expert US Trader. I started learning and applying trend line analysis on Straits Times Index and key component stocks. I was amazed at how accurate it can be used to “predict” the Trading Range for the Day, the key support and resistance values/prices. It is a leading indicator, better than any other technical indicators which are mostly based on historical data and lagging. Leading Indicator? Yes, trend lines can be used to “forecast” or “predict” the “future value” of the stock or index. Also indicates if Uptrend or Rally might have ended! I use trend lines to “forecast” the Trading Range for the Next Day. It increases the probability of success in my STI put warrants trading, giving me a sure win trading method. Look at the STI Char

Calculate STI value: the break point where the price will increment. Monitor regional indices which influence STI direction: HSI, SSE, Nikkei Patience: Wait for the technical indicators to give me the buy signal. Do not enter too early, enter at the righ

A Lesson in Drawing and Using Trendlines By Jeffrey Kennedy Jeffrey Kennedy shares how when he began his career as an analyst, he was lucky enough to have some time with a few old pros. One in particular told him that a kid with a ruler could make a million dollars in the markets. He was talking about trendlines. Read More . TSK: Hmmm... I am planning an article - "Trendlines Make You Rich!", oops, EWI is ahead of me! Anyway, lookout for "Trendlines Make Your Rich!"

Today more and more investors are warming to the fact that psychology moves markets and therefore fundamental analysis, which fails to properly measure mass investor psychology, must be flawed. Who can blame them? After all, fundamental analysis -- based on past company earnings, rating agency projections and the like -- proved to be of little value during the bust. There is a better way. Many investors who monitor investor sentiment readings, study Elliott wave patterns and employ other powerful technical indicators were -- at very least -- able to position themselves to survive the recent decline. Still others were able to turn crisis into opportunity and profit from the volatility. How'd they do it? Technical analysis. You see, technical indicators remove the cloudy, bias-driven assumptions from your analysis and focus on the one thing that moves markets: investor psychology. Past performance is not indicative of future results -- and that's where fundamental analysis goes w

Do you know we can forecast the Business Cycle and Stock Market Cycle using the Moon? Yes, the Trend of the Business and Stock Market Cycles corresponds with the Moon Cycle! The Moon has a North Node (called the Dragon Head) and a South Node (called the Dragon Tail). A Moon Cycle takes 19 years, i.e. it takes 19 years for the Moon's North Node to pass through the 12 zodiac signs. Other sources say it is a 18.6 year cycle. Hmmm..... most important of all, if we know the zodiac sign where the Moon's North Node is in, we will know the Trend of the Business Cycle, and then the Stock Market. See Business Cycle Chart (click to enlarge). Oops! It is more complex than this. Other Heavenly Bodies (Planets) also got strong influence on the Business and Stock Market Cycles. Like Saturn and Uranus. These can depress or expand the business cycle and affect Stock Market prices also. Wow! Now I know why the Stock Market is 6 months ahead of the Business Cycle. The Moon&

September 7 Weekly Update - Stock Market Forecast Fengshui : Market likely to gain strength, volatile first half and stable second half. Financial Astrology : Saturn Uranus Opposition can coincide with a crisis. Mercury retrograde relates to “fake-out” in breaking support or resistance. Expect a very bizarre market in next couple of weeks. Technical Analysis: US indices – Monday is a holiday. Tuesday likely to decline. Read September 2009 Stock Market Forecast . Read Will September Markets be Bullish.

Below is summary of key points extracted from an interesting US newspaper column published on September 4, 2009, written by a market timing expert: The market has done quite a job of ignoring its history so far this year. January and February, usually positive winter months, it experienced a sizable loss of 25% . In historically favourable period, not launching into a sizable rally until March. Defying its historical “Sell in May and go away” history, the rally continued to roll right through May. It did decline for four straight weeks beginning in June, following its history of “If May doesn’t get you, June will”. The rally then resumed in July, also not unusual, as there is usually a minor summer rally. But the summer rally continued through August, the first month of the market’s historically worst three-month period of August, September, and October. That has a lot of people claiming that since the historical patterns have been off so much so far this year, they will therefore be

September 7 to October 7, 2009 The Yin Water Rooster is another strong Water Month. First half shows mixed and confusing energy, while second half show strength of metal energy. Gold and Oil prices are likely to fall. Favourable industries/sectors: Water and Wood Financial Astrology: Many Bearish Planetary alignments this month: Mercury retrograde - September 6/7 to September 29. Saturn Uranus Opposition – September 15. Expect the unexpected. The last time this occurred, Dow dropped more than 2000 points. This date is also the anniversary of Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. Will there be another banking crisis? Pluto turns direct – September 11. This date is the anniversary of 911. Will there be another terrorist attack? Or pandemic disease (biological war)? Expect high volatility this month, especially second half. If there is any bubble, it might burst this month. Will Jupiter and Neptune help keep the market positive? Technical Analysis: US Market: Phase

Have you read the latest Elliott Wave International's Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast (APFF) report released on August 28, 2009 ? Below extracts of what was reported in Bloomberg yesterday, August 31, 2009, based on the APFF: Asian stocks are due for their “largest correction” since rallying from their March lows as the region’s major indexes complete “intermediate tops.” The benchmark MSCI Asia Pacific Index has climbed 62 percent from a more than five-year low on March 9 on speculation stimulus packages and lower borrowing costs will revive the global economy. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index looks “bearish” because it has advanced for three-consecutive waves. “That puts it most at risk of a deep retracement.” China’s Shanghai Composite Index and South Korea’s Kospi Index are “breaking down.” The Chinese gauge was the world’s best-performing major index until it peaked at 3,478 on Aug. 4, after a five-wave rally that began in October. The weakness in the
