It sure has been an exciting few days to see my book do so well and to see my first 1000 copies of the paperback with the special offer in the book at Amazon be almost sold out. It looks like only 73 books left and I expect them to be gone today or tomorrow once all 25,000 readers and followers get this email and to good to refuse offer.

 

If you have already purchased my book I would like to Thank You for your support and congratulate you on getting the free lifetime membership to my new investing newsletter as the free bonus gift which expires Jan 1st or when the book on Amazon sells out. Which ever comes first. To order the book go here.

 

Anyway, the main point of this email is to update you with some information and feedback from the book to be sure you and I are on the same page.

 

One person is upset about the book and I want to share it with you along with my response as you may be feeling the same way or have the same question.

—————————————

They sent me this email:

“Hi Chris,

I read through your book quickly, and about to read through it again… It was a good read… but I was a little disappointed on lack of examples of putting your teaching into practice – and hope that you can point me to some more information on your website.

Can you point me toward more training videos or other information for a beginner? I have a bit saved up, and need to start investing… previous attempts really have been glorified gambling… a point you made well in your book… that hit home. “

Thanks,

Lark

 

My email to them:

Lark,

“Thank you for your support on the book and recent subscription. Let me clarify things for you.

The free lifetime membership to my new investing newsletter is going to do everything I talked about in the book for you based on the SP500 so your big money (retirement nest egg) can be on the right side of the market more times than not and make money during bear markets. 

It will be educational and the real-life examples I think is what you are saying you would have liked to see more of. So you will get this information each month once the first issue is published in a week or two, and you will continue to get it every month.

On a side note, we are just working on a solution for everyone to have access to the custom indicators and tools available online so you will not be required to use any specific trading platform. This is going to be a month or two still but it will be awesome!

Thank you for your feedback it is greatly appreciated and I hope this helps?”

Chris

BOOK REVIEW: STAN TAMULEVICH

Stan recently bought and read my book and during this process he sent me a few emails. If you do not know Stan, he is a well respected stock, etf and futures trader with a solid following of his own so I am very please that he purchased my book and had such great feedback!

 

Here are the email comments I received from Stan during the days he read the book:

Email #1

“You will find yourself in this book. Everyone will find something that adds insight to their trading skills. This plucks the heartstrings of everyone who has ever traded.”

Stan Tamulevich

 

Email #2

“It’s a book that you scan the first time, and dig into on the re-read.

It’s much deeper and thought provoking than a how to book. 

Requires sitting down and taking some time to let it all sink in. Not a jump up and take action thing, but an evolving experience. Sort of a “go to” book that one should reference again and again…..”

Stan Tamulevich

 

Email #3

“The more I think about it, the more I realize that it’s all the essential stuff that one has to formulate and put together early in the game as well as review periodically.

I don’t know of any successful trader that is not well organized with a defined plan with notes. Always looking inward to define what constitutes their winning edge and game plan.”

7 Steps To Win With Logic

Chris Vermeulen

I would like to start by wishing you a Happy Holidays & New Year!

So far this year (2013) has been a great year for trading and my 2014 forecast looks to be as good if not even better. I do have something exciting to share with you that is going to make 2014 really amazing, but first let me talk about the stock market and what is likely to unfold in the next week or two so you can protect your investments.

As many of you know, I follow and post frequently on StockTwits.com. I like to see what traders and investors are thinking/feeling about the broad market using extreme sentiment readings as a contrarian signal for trade ideas or to protect open positions more by tightening my protective stops and locking partial profits.

Below I have posted a two charts on sentiment courtesy of StockTwits to show these extreme readings of where the US stock market is trading at. The first chart is of the symbol $STUDY and this sentiment shows us that 98% of trading material is bullish on the stock market right now. My theory is, if everyone is moving in one direction, you better be ready for them to change direction any time. The masses move like a school of fish and one they get spooked they change direction and start selling everything they just bought.

The second sentiment chart is of the SPY exchange traded fund. This mimics the SP500 index and is also a gauge for broad market sentiment. If we think back to the 80/20 rule, we know that 20% of the crowd/clients are correct while 80% tend to be incorrect. With sentiment reaching the highest level in a couple months and with the index making new highs, coupled with the holiday price bulge (holiday rally) logic says a pullback in the near term is very likely an that it could be sharp and it almost like  automated trading.

Market Sentiment – Broad Market Contrarians Indicator

sentiment

The stock market has wave like patterns that form on a monthly basis that provide us with a steady stream of trading opportunities. One of the best swing trading tools for timing these waves is through the use of this chart below provided by Barchart.com.

The chart below is self explanatory, but let me quickly explain how it works. This chart rises as more and more stocks trade above the 20 day simple moving average. And when the majority of stocks are in a strong uptrend, it’s a lot like humans all trading in the same direction (a school of fish) and the odds favour a change in direction temporarily. These waves are great intermediate trends for swing trading and typically last multiple weeks at a time. This is one of my strategies which I trade with my members at TheGoldAndOilGuy.com alert newsletter. Keep in mind, its not as easy as it looks, because there are more moving parts to this equation but you can see these extreme waves clearly in this chart.

The Holiday Bulge & Amazing Information Conclusion

With the stock market still firmly in an uptrend and firing on all cylinders short term analysis is pointing to a pause or pullback in the next week or two.  I did forecast this exact price action several weeks ago and how it could lead to the start of a major market top. If a major top does form early in 2014 then we could make some big money once the down trend starts.

Remember, stocks fall 3-7 times faster than they rise, so once we get short massive gains can be made quickly and while the masses (school of fish) are losing money, we should be on the other side watching our trading account sky rocket!

Special Bonus for Buying the Book

Starting in January I will be starting a monthly newsletter for investors. As you probably know monthly investment newsletters are the standard product in the investment advisory business and most of them range from $97 to $500 a year.

But, because this is my first book jam packed with the best of everything I know and use today, and the fact that I am extremely happy with how it turned out I’m just going to let you have a lifetime membership to my investment newsletter for free as a special bonus if you buy the book before Jan 1st.

In this monthly investing newsletter you will receive my big picture market analysis using all the indicators, tools, tips and techniques explained in the book. The only thing better than learning new trading techniques through a book is by seeing them done live in the market for you to follow.

I do run a business and will be selling this newsletter in a couple weeks, but I would rather use it as an incentive to get you to buy my book right now. We all know that building long-term relationships with clients/new trading buddies is all about providing the best value for the best price.

I can tell you that a few of my competitors heard what I am doing here and it’s creating some controversy with other investment writers and advisory services.

What they do not know that I like to offer people real value they can’t refuse – not through tricks – but by offering things that have so much value that at the price I offer them one would have to be a fool not to go for it.

Over the next 9 days I expect to sell a few thousand copies of my book to my 25,000+ followers. Here’s the catch and why I am offering this special to buy the digital version. I was only able to get 1000 books printed and shipped to Amazon with my publisher. It’s a long story, and the good news is there will be more books printed and shipped to the warehouse shortly after, but without the free lifetime newsletter membership offer. So with the paperback book being limited I wanted to extend my book in a digital version on my website at 50% off the retail price + plus the lifetime membership to my new investing newsletter.

7 Steps To Win With LogicI believe that those who benefit the most in life and business are those that truly help as many people as they can. And for me that comes from providing people with great information for the price they pay and also by giving people high quality usable free information too.

I’ve been online since 2001 and have a big following due to this philosophy.

Also I truly believe that this book will help everyone who reads it in some way, shape, or form. I cover a lot of key areas of trading we all must focus on improving including myself.

How to Get Your Special Bonus Free

All you have to do is go to my website Here To Buy The Book and I will have your email for sending you the monthly investing newsletter.

You can also pre-order the paperback from Amazon.com to get one of the first 1000 books with the free investing newsletter information on the back page. Pre-Order At Amazon.com

Now I’m only going to offer this bonus to you for the next few days, because I do plan on selling this newsletter so I have to stop just giving it away at some point.

So go ahead and order the book today.

7 Steps To Win With Logic

The use of cycles is perhaps the most misunderstood areas of technical analysis. And is widely miss used within automated trading systems. This is because there are a wide variety of approaches ranging from magnetic, to astrology to time based cycles.

The purpose of this tutorial on cycle analysis and implementation into automated trading systems is to present a logical perspective on what cycles and how they enhance your technical analysis studies.

Originally I was attracted to cycle analysis back in 2001. Back then, there was very little information about cycle analysis and even less on how to identify them within financial instruments. Cycles can be somewhat measured using conventional indicators such as RSI, stochastics and moving averages. But, better yet is a custom cycle analyzer indicator I created to make cycle identification and implementation automatic within my trading strategies and my fully automated trading system.

Here is how the moving average can help spot cycles, but keep in mind they are lagging indicators. The lower indicator shows the long term cycle and swing trading cycle I focus on. Remember cycle lengths change over time which is why I automated the indicator and have it run within my automated trading system. But you should get the gist of how cycles look and function.

Cyclical Automated Trading System

I am going to touch quickly on a few areas of cycle analysis which I hope you find somewhat interesting.

Cycle Perspective by Market Participants

Cycles also known as waves are observed almost everywhere including nature. Ancient civilizations designed calendars and time measurements cased around cycles. This has creating the most standard measurements we all live by and track on a regular basis. The length of day, year, seasonal changes and even the phases of the moon and stars. These are just time based cycles but the same type of thing carries across noise like musical notes, light spectrum’s, and in liquids like waves in the ocean.

 

Philosophical Cycle Foundation

The financial markets are truly efficient and follow random walk principle. The fact that so many like Larry Williams and Paul Tudor Jones along with many other long term consistent traders pull money from the financial markets prove this if a more detailed analysis of the random walk theory is applied and you will see some interesting results through cycle analysis.

Understanding cycles and through tracking where they are I their current phase gives you a pretty good idea to where the financial market is headed for a short distance into the future with high level of accuracy.

 

Understanding Cycles & Automated Trading System Implementation

The stock market or any financial instrument chart is similar to an aerial photo of a river. There are times (sections) where the price movements appear random while other sections have distinctive cyclic pattern (waves or a snake like pattern).

No matter how good you are of a trader or investor you are, trading the markets requires us to take a leap of faith along with many assumptions to follow our trading system whether it is an automated trading system or not.

Understanding cycles is just a piece of the overall puzzle although I would account for it to be 1/3rd of my analysis for timing and position management of my automated investing system.

So what are the other pieces of the puzzle?

Glad you asked (subconsciously)!

According to my research the market is in a cyclical state roughly 20-35% of the time. Logic indicates that you should have a trading strategy that can identify and trade this type of price action.

The stock market trends roughly 25-35% of the time also. So another trading strategy is required for taking advantage of this price action also.

And then there is the random none tradable price action. This is when the market is giving off mixed signals and this typically happens during a change in market conditions from an uptrend to a down trend or from cyclical price action to a trending market.

Understanding and identifying what I just talked about will greatly improve your trading, investing and reduce stress and emotional trading.

 

My Automated Trading System Identifies Active Cycles and Trades

In conclusion, it took me years of studying cycles to master identification and timing of trades based around them and to be honest I am still learning and improving this process.

If this short tutorial sparked some interest then I highly recommend opting in to my free newsletter below. In a week I will be making my soon to be published book “Technical Trading Mastery – 7 Steps To Win With Logic”  which is the perfect holiday read and trading education book to kick start 2014. I will be making the book available to my followers only two months before it’s available on Amazon, Barns & Noble’s etc., which won’t be until Feb.

While I am bias towards this MUST READ BOOK, I feel it will truly improve how you think, feel and trade the markets for the rest of your life.

Happy Holidays, and remember to send me your feedback and ideas on topics you would like to learn more about!
