Stock Market Advice - How to Utilize it While Using Candlestick Signals.

The Internet is chock-full of stock market advice. Most sites will tell you of the magnificent trades that their stock market advice identified. Unfortunately, what gets lost in the shuffle is the many recommendations that didn't do anything or created severe losses. The major benefit of Candlestick signals is that they allow the Candlestick investor to do their own analysis of whether it is time to buy or sell someone else's recommendation.

Having the ability to recognize the proper timing for entering a trade can magnify returns dramatically. This is the time of year when everyone reflects on the returns that they made for themselves in 2004 and want to improve for 2005. The best method for figuring out how to improve your investment procedure is to learn an investment method extremely well and continue to improve on it. This is a good time to learn the Candlestick signals, especially the 12 major signals, but not eliminate the use of other technical or fundamental information that you have acquired in the past.

As often mentioned in the education of the signals on the Candlestick Forum site, the signals are the statistical analysis of hundreds of years of research. The fact that the Candlestick signals continually produce high probabilities that successful trades are in the making is the reason they are still in existence today. The signals are a study of the reoccurring human emotions involved in investment trends.

Once the Candlestick investor can identify high probability patterns, whether in signals or technical patterns, a continuous procedure for improving upon those probabilities can be utilized. The additional input of the analysis of stochastics, moving averages, trend lines, and a multitude of other technical indicators add to the ability to improve a positive correct-trade ratio. Additionally, for the investors that are trying to research companies with the best fundamental potential for the coming year, the Candlestick signals can be used for developing optimal timing for getting into and out of trades in companies that have high growth potential. Prices move in waves. Being able to identify peaks and valleys of an uptrend greatly enhances return potential, whether buying and selling a position or utilizing options strategies to maximize income.

Market Direction - As effective as the Candlestick signals are for detecting the occurrence of a reversal, they can also indicate that nothing is happening to reverse an existing trend. As witnessed in the recent uptrend in the Dow and the NASDAQ, there have been no severe sell signals for the past few weeks. Having the ability to analyze that a trend is in a slow consistent move allows the Candlestick investor to take advantage of strong buy signals that are developing in an uptrending market.

The Dow
Note how the Dow has not had any Candlestick sell signals confirmed for the past three weeks.

If the analysis becomes one of a steady uptrend, then holding on to positions through weak “sell” signals becomes a functional strategy. The weak sell signals become profit-taking indications in an uptrend versus a full-scale reversal. Having that ability to analyze what the overall market is doing allows an investor to maintain positions as they are reaching the overbought conditions. Keep in mind, most big percentage moves occur at the end of an uptrend. That is where the exuberant buying is occurring.

As seen in the Click Commerce Inc. chart, the recommendation to buy and/or hold this stock as it broke out after a Doji and Bullish Engulfing Pattern has been continued despite the fact that the stochastics indicated an overbought condition. This hold recommendation was influenced by the fact that the markets in general were not indicating any selling pressure. Additionally, the CKCM chart was not indicating any sell signals.

If the markets in general showed weakness and the stock chart showed weakness at the same time, the hold period for this position may have been shortened dramatically.

This is nothing more than being able to analyze all variables that might affect a stock trade. When applying the direction of the markets in the analysis of a trade, or the analysis of Crude Oil prices affecting the stock market, or the price of bonds, or the US dollar affecting the market indexes, or a stock individually, the ability to analyze each entity creates a better probability for being in a correct trade.

Use the next week or two for educating yourself on how to identify statistically strong reversal signals. You may not always be in the “hot” stock on any particular trading day, but the probabilities of being in a correct trade is enhanced when utilizing the signals. And the concept of the Candlestick signals is to have you in correct trades a high percentage of the time.

Candlestick Hedge Fund - The concepts mentioned above will be the basis of the Candlestick Hedge Fund, being established in January 2005.

If you would like more information or are interested in receiving a prospectus on the fund, please contact us.

Prospectuses will be sent out in the first week of January. If you would like to speak with somebody about the details of the fund, please e-mail your phone number and we will call you.

The 12-CD Candlestick Training Special - The response to the 12 major signals CD training program has been much better than expected. There has been strong feedback that the in-depth analysis of each major signal is done in a clear and concise manner. The learning process becomes very easy when all the elements of what makes for a strong successful reversal signal to work correctly is explained by Stephen W. Bigalow. Each 45-minute training session not only explains what indicators confirm the effectiveness of each of the major signals, but it goes into the investor psychology that was present that made each signal occur. Understanding the psychology of investors when a reversal is occurring is a tremendous insight into what makes prices move. If you have a few weeks at the beginning of the year to get yourself organized going into 2005, then take advantage of a special year-end offer so that you can use the major signals effectively for the rest of your life.

You should never be put in a position where you do not understand why trades are being made for your account. Whether those positions are being put on in your managed account, or a hedge fund, or your own personal trading, you should have a full understanding of whether those funds are being put in the right positions at the right time. The Candlestick signals applied with Candlestick analysis will become the education process for understanding how to maximize your potential returns in your own trading or being able to analyze whether a money manager has any concept of correctly timing the markets.

Because the Candlestick Forum is such a strong advocate of every investor learning how to use the Candlestick signals correctly, the Holiday Special will be continued until January 5, 2005. Please review the products that the Holiday Special package provides. As always professed by the Candlestick Forum Staff, if you have studied the 12-CD set of the Major Candlestick Signals, and review the Moving Averages Training CD, and still have questions, you are always welcome to e-mail us anytime with questions. The information that you obtain from the Candlestick Forum site is not to give you the “potential” of learning how to use Candlestick signals correctly, it is to ensure that you learn the Candlestick signals correctly.
