How To Potentially Make 10 Points A Week Trading Stocks
Mark Cook Is In The House
I hope you are as
happy as I am to have Mark Cook on board here at TradingMarkets.
Mark is writing three times a week (MWF),
covering the S&Ps, but since
he trades bonds, options and the euro, I’m sure he’ll give you a few insights on
these tradeables as well.
In his
second article, he introduced the Cook Cumulative TICK–an indicator
that has made him a lot of money over the years. In this
third article, he told you what makes a successful trader. Michael
Sincere and Deron Wagner (The Long-Term Daytrader) say:
“Mark Cook is considered by many to be one of
the best intraday traders in the country.” On Friday, Mark stopped by
TradersWire and said hello to everyone.
The New, Improved
TradersWire
If you haven’t been in TradersWire for a while,
swing by next week–you’ll be pleasantly surprised. We’ve made a lot of changes,
including precise buy and sell alerts on stocks and E-minis and Mini-sized Dow
contracts, expanded education and trading tips. And as always, there are some
good traders in the chat room. I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve learned a lot
from some of these traders through the years, and I’m willing to bet you could
learn something, too. This past week,
our calls
made 10.78 points. That was just in stocks. We had a winning week in
the E-mini and mini-sized Dow as well. So come on by, we’ll
see you in
TradersWire on Tuesday!
