Toni Hansen Teaches You a New Way to Time Market Reversals

Opening paragraphs:

Over the years, a number of different tools have been developed or utilized to analyze price action in the market and guide traders and investors alike in their decision on when to buy or sell a particular security. Some of these tools are extremely complex, while others are too general to be useful. One of the mainstays for any market participant relying on technical analysis, however, is the importance of being able to identify and apply basic support and/or resistance levels. These are price levels in a security, or the market as a whole, where the current price trend is likely to stall or reverse. Support/resistance levels have been used for centuries and, once understood, they can be applied to any marketplace, whether its securities, forex, e-minis, etc.

There are dozens, and perhaps even more, types of support/resistance configurations employed by market professionals. In my experience, however, none are more potent than pure price levels. Most indicators, such as moving averages, are based upon mathematical equations which factor in price action. If a person understands how to read the price levels themselves, s/he is less likely to rely on other crutches to recognize shifts in price action.

Fibonacci Trading with Toni Hansen
Part 1 of 3

Opening paragraphs:

A great deal has been written about Fibonacci series in recent years, and even more since the release of the infamous DaVinci Code by Dan Brown. Some of the books and articles have been rather simple, while others have been exceedingly complex.

Preferring simplicity in nearly all areas of my life, when it comes to using indicators in my trading I also try to avoid becoming overwhelmed with daunting algorithms and a plethora of lines and squiggles overpowering my trading screens. As such, in this three-part series on Fibonacci, I shall be speaking to you in layman's terms, so that even those with the most basic of technical analysis skills shall come away with a core skill set to immediately apply to improve market timing, and in the process, the most sought-after goal of consistent profitability. In this week's segment, I will begin by laying the foundation for understanding the development and theories leading to this popular tool used extensively by technical analysts.
