53. A Simple Explanation of the US Economy for Traders
Produced By:

Category: Credit & Debt
Description: http://www.informedtrades.com/
An (more...) overview of the US Economy and the first two components of the economy which are natural resources and the labor force. Explanation meant for traders of the forex, futures, and stock markets.
In our last lesson we gave an introduction to fundamental analysis with an introduction to the top down approach to analyzing fundamentals
and the US Economy. In today's lesson we are going to expand our discussion on the
US economy by looking at the different pieces which make up the economy and how each piece is relevant to us as traders of the stock, futures, and/or
forex markets.
The first component of any economy is its natural resources. One of the key factors that allowed the United
States to grow so quickly and become one of the world powers that it is today, is that it is a land that is rich
in natural resources from oil which drives our industry, to lumber to build our houses, to our large coastlines,
great lakes, and rivers which provide shipping access and move goods throughout the country.
Understanding what natural resources are most important to a country and understanding what affects the prices
of those resources is beneficial to not only commodities traders who trade the actual commodities such as oil
and gold but also to traders of the stock and forex markets. We will go into these correlations in more detail
in later lessons but a short example is that the US economy relies heavily on oil, so when the price of oil goes
higher this is normally seen as a negative for the US Economy as it then costs more for companies to ship their
goods, and for individuals to fill up their cars leaving them less money to spend. Similarly, as the US Imports
much of its oil, when the price of oil goes up this means that more dollars are being sold and converted into
the currencies of the countries which are exporting the oil to the US, therefore all else being equal weakening
the US Dollar and strengthening the currency of the exporting country.
The next component of any economy is its labor force, or the individuals who are working in that economy to
produce goods and services from the countries natural resources. As the labor force in an economy gets paid for
their labor, and then spends that money on the goods and services they and other components of the labor force
have produced, they are an important driver of growth in any economy.
The components which are watched in regards to labor are the size of the labor force in an economy, its rate of
growth, its productivity level, and its skill level, and its mobility or ability to adapt to changing
conditions. Another reason why the United States has the largest economy in the world is the size of its labor
force is constantly growing allowing the economy to produce and sell more goods and services, it is a relatively
mobile labor force which has allowed it to increase productivity faster than other nations through things such
as early adoption of new technology, and it is an educated labor force.
Why is this important from a trading standpoint? Here again we will go into more detail on this when we look at
important economic numbers but a short example is if the labor force becomes more productive, this means that
they are able to produce more goods in the same amount of time. This not only makes companies more profitable
but it holds down prices for the consumer, giving them more money to spend on other goods and services, which
drives growth, which means a higher stock market all else being equal. This increased growth can cause higher
demand for commodities therefore causing the commodities markets to rally all else being equal, and can also
have interest rate implications, something we will learn about in later lessons, which can affect the US
Dollar. (less)
19. How toTrade Moving Averages Like a Pro Part 2

Description: http://www.informedtrades.com/tags/index.php/moving-average/
In (more...) our last lesson we looked at the two main types of moving averages, the simple moving average and the exponential moving average. In this lesson we are going to look at some of the ways that traders use moving averages to pick their entry and exit points in the currency, commodities, and equities market.
As moving averages are lagging indicators they tend to work well in identifying and following a trend and not to work well in ranging or trend less markets. Because of this traders will often use them to trade with the trend as well as to identify potential areas of support or resistance which may result in a continuation or reversal of a trend.
Lets look at some examples:
The most basic way that traders will use moving averages is to identify and then trade with the trend of a particular instrument. Although most traders will probably want to use the moving average in conjunction with some of the things that we have learned so far and some of the things we will learn in future lessons, the most basic way to trade using just the moving average is to buy when the price of a financial instrument breaks above the moving average line and sell when the financial instrument breaks below the moving average line. For confirmation traders will often wait for a full bar to close above the moving average line before entering long and a full bar to close below the moving average line before entering a short position.
Example of Trend Following Using Moving Averages:
A second way that traders use moving averages is to identify areas of support or resistance and then trade the break of these levels, looking for a potential reversal of the trend. When a financial instrument has shown a particular moving average level to be significant from a support or resistance standpoint in the past by testing the moving average line several times, and then breaks that level, traders will often see this as a warning sign that the trend is reversing and position themselves accordingly.
Example of Trading Support and Resistance Breaks Using Moving Averages:
The last way that traders will using moving averages is by plotting a longer term moving average and a shorter term moving average on a chart and trading the cross over. The idea here is that the shorter term moving average will be faster in identifying changes in the trend and therefore traders will look to get long when the shorter term moving average crosses above the longer term moving average and short when the shorter term moving average crosses below the longer term moving average.
Example of Moving Average Crossovers:
That completes this lesson. You should now have a good understanding of how many traders trade moving averages. As always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to post them in the comments section below, and have a great day! (less)

4. Day Trading Lesson 4: The Basics of Charts
Produced By:
InformedTrades on 27 Nov 2007
Category: Creating Wealth
Description: http://www.informedtrades.com/
The (more...) fourth lesson in a series on technical analysis for day traders of the forex, futures, and stock markets.
The tool of the day trader when analyzing the forex, futures, or stock markets is the price chart. Very simply a price chart is a chart showing the movement of the price of a financial instrument over a chosen time.
Most charts will allow a wide variety of time frames to be displayed and the time frame that day traders choose to use varies widely and depends on each traders trading style. In general, longer term traders will focus on daily time frames and above, and shorter term traders will focus on intraday charts such as hourly or 15 minute charts. Many traders will also use a combination of time frames in order to get a full picture of what price has been doing by, for instance, looking first at a longer term daily chart, then moving to an hourly chart, and then finally to a 15 minute chart.
