Profiting with Market Breadth – Seminar on CD by Jeff Drake

To be successful in the market, it is imperative to be aligned with overall market direction and to ascertain directional strength. Most traders look solely at an index’s chart, such as the S&P 500, to determine where the market it heading. But indexes only tell part of the story. In order to understand what the market is doing as a whole, many savvy traders turn to Market Breadth indicators. Market Breadth indicators measure the performance of all the stocks on the major exchanges. By providing insight on how many of the stocks are participating in the current moves, we gain a much better feel for overall market sentiment.

In Profiting with Market Breadth, we show you how to use these indicators to quantify the direction and strength of the overall market. This seminar covers all of the major Market Breadth indicators and how they are calculated. It will also show you how each one is sued to help predict future market direction.

Seminar Outline

Advancing Stocks vs. Declining Stocks
   The Basis For Market Breadth

• Putting Too Much Weight on the Same Information
• Examples of Good Combinations

Nirvana’s Trading Secrets Volume I – Trading Floor Pivots in End of Day and Real Time

In each volume, we disclose a powerful method in three ways, (1) the theory or background of the method, (2) the precise definition of the method, and (3) how to use the examples. The goal of each Trading Secrets volume is to provide specific information that OmniTrader users can use to identify profitable setups and convert them into Strategies.

In this seminar, we discuss the history of Floor Pivots and the various interpretations, including the use of Major and Minor lines. All the formulas used to calculate the Pivots are also disclosed. The Floor Pivots used on the exchanges are always based on the prior session to create levels for the current session, in Real Time. But we have discovered that, by using weekly or monthly bar values, we can create outstanding pivot levels for trading End-of-Day as well. Both approaches are covered in the seminar.

Our goal in the volume is to illuminate the art of Floor Pivot trading, so you can plot the levels in OmniTrader and be ready to take action as a key level is reached.

This seminar covers:

• Introduction to Floor Pivots
• Swing Trading Daily Pivots
• Refining Key Breakouts
• Reversal Pivot Signals
• Trade Management Tactics
  

Nirvana’s Trading Secrets Volume II – Trading Opening Gaps on the eMini Futures Contracts

In each volume, we disclose a powerful method in three ways, (1) the theory or background of the method, (2) the precise definition of the method, and (3) how to use the examples. The goal of each Trading Secrets volume is to provide specific information that OmniTrader users can use to identify profitable setups and convert them into Strategies.

Opening Gaps are formed when a market opens and is trading a significant distance from where it closed the prior session. This forms a “gap” in the Real Time chart. Under certain circumstances, the opening gap will be filled, meaning price will press back into the gap and go lower (or higher, on an opening down gap). In this seminar, we will tell you precisely how we identify the most profitable opening gaps – the size of the gap that has the greatest promise, and the other market factors that lead to the best moves. You will be able to take the information from this seminar and directly apply it in the market.

This seminar covers:

• Big Profits at the Open
• How Gaps are Traded
• Refining Key Breakouts
• Which Gaps to Trade
• Which Contracts to Trade
• Opening Gap Entry Signal
• Managing the Trade
• Improving Performance
• Confirming Market Factors
• Opening Gap Performance

The Matrix Seminar on CD by Ed Downs

Have you ever wondered what you should be trading? The answer comes from these three factors: risk tolerance, experience and trading frequency. By deciding what your trading objective is, how much risk is acceptable to you and a few other factors, you can calculate a "score" that represents your risk factors. With that score, the Matrix can suggest a trading vehicle that will work for you.

The Matrix is a methodical way of combining risk frequency and experience into a simple view. The seminar will give you a good overview of vehicles that are available, and what their risk profiles look like.

The Matrix helps clarify your trading options and will make you a more confident trader.

In the seminar, we score several "typical" investors according to their risk profiles, as in this example.

We then use this score to look up the appropriate trading vehicle in the Matrix (not shown), according to the investor's objectives and risk factor score.
