The Power of Expectation

One of the most powerful emotional triggers we can bring into our trading is the power of expectation. Expectations are the fuel that makes our trading goals seem to rush towrds us. Therefore, setting postive expectations is a critical component of our emotional mindset, especially when we are trading.

Here are some thoughts to help you set profitable expectations before beginning your trading session:

  • Trade to be great! Enter every trade with the expectation of making profit and not losing money.
  • Embrace the challenge of the market. It is through these challenges were growth lies.
  • Don't focus on the results. Instead focus on the process and the results will take care of themselves.
  • Believe in yourself.
  • Commit that nothing will take you off of your "A" game while trading
  • Be decisive and except full responsibility for the outcome.
  • Have positive self-talk. Negative talk will lead to negative results.

Expect to be profitable even in the face of obstacles. You have a choice. You can move forward in action or backwards in fear. Positive expectations will promote the positive results and positive results in our business always leads to profit!

This is a sample of the trading methodology at Forex Journey. We go way beyond trendlines and chart patterns!

Happy Trading!!

Taking a Cue from the Past

Last night I was doing some much needed spring cleaning in the office. I was going through that box in the closet. You know the one? The one that has been sitting there for years and you say every year you are going to get to it!

I was going through this box and it was like going down memory lane, but one of the items I came across just floored me. Back in my early days of trading the Forex market I use to write out cue cards of areas I was struggling with adjusting to the new market. Prior to driving into currencies I traded the stocks and options entirely on end-of-day trading, and jumping into the hustle and bustle of the Forex market brought a new level of emotional intelligence.

I thought you might enjoy excerpts from my cue cards. I still use them, now they are just internalized!

Cue Card #1: Daily Check List, Set up charts, review economic calendar and news, review the big picture, are the charts reversing or retracing, acceptable reward -risk ratio, why not take the trade, pull the@#$% trigger! An finally, journal results

Cue Card #2

#1 - ALWAYS REVIEW AND PREPARE

#2 - ENTRY DECISIONS ON COMPLETED CANDLES ONLY!!

#3 - SET STOPS CAREFULLY

#4 - DO NOT TRADE AGAINST THE TREND

#5 – RISK LESS IF SECOND RETRACEMENT OF MOVE

On another note…

Commodity Channel Index (CCI)

Developed by Donald Lambert, the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) was designed to identify cyclical turns in commodities. The assumption behind the indicator is that commodities (or stocks or bonds) move in cycles, with highs and lows coming at periodic intervals. Lambert recommended using 1/3 of a complete cycle (low to low or high to high) as a time frame for the CCI. (Note: Determination of the cycle's length is independent of the CCI.) If the cycle runs 60 days (a low about every 60 days), then a 20-day CCI would be recommended. For the purpose of this example, a 20-day CCI is used.

For scaling purposes, Lambert set the constant at .015 to ensure that approximately 70 to 80 percent of CCI values would fall between -100 and +100. The CCI fluctuates above and below zero. The percentage of CCI values that fall between +100 and -100 will depend on the number of periods used. A shorter CCI will be more volatile with a smaller percentage of values between +100 and -100. Conversely, the more periods used to calculate the CCI, the higher the percentage of values between +100 and -100.

Lambert's trading guidelines for the CCI focused on movements above +100 and below -100 to generate buy and sell signals. Because about 70 to 80 percent of the CCI values are between +100 and -100, a buy or sell signal will be in force only 20 to 30 percent of the time. When the CCI moves above +100, a security is considered to be entering into a strong uptrend and a buy signal is given. The position should be closed when the CCI moves back below +100. When the CCI moves below -100, the security is considered to be in a strong downtrend and a sell signal is given. The position should be closed when the CCI moves back above -100.

Since Lambert's original guidelines, traders have also found the CCI valuable for identifying reversals. The CCI is a versatile indicator capable of producing a wide array of buy and sell signals.

CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels. A security would be deemed oversold when the CCI dips below -100 and overbought when it exceeds +100. From oversold levels, a buy signal might be given when the CCI moves back above -100. From overbought levels, a sell signal might be given when the CCI moved back below +100.
As with most oscillators, divergences can also be applied to increase the robustness of signals. A positive divergence below -100 would increase the robustness of a signal based on a move back above -100. A negative divergence above +100 would increase the robustness of a signal based on a move back below +100.
Trend line breaks can be used to generate signals. Trend lines can be drawn connecting the peaks and troughs. From oversold levels, an advance above -100 and trend line breakout could be considered bullish. From overbought levels, a decline below +100 and a trend line break could be considered bearish.
Traders and investors use the CCI to help identify price reversals, price extremes and trend strength. As with most indicators, the CCI should be used in conjunction with other aspects of technical analysis. CCI fits into the momentum category of oscillators. In addition to momentum, volume indicators and the price chart may also influence a technical assessment.
