Voice Your Opinion To The NYSE–Here’s How
New!
Swing Trading Goes To College
By now you’ve welcomed
Steve Primo to the site. Steve’s the new Director of Education
here at TradingMarkets and he has rolled out our new Swing Trading College. The
demand has been unbelievable. I am not kidding–we really didn’t expect the
response we got. So much so, that we’ve added another session.
Click here for the details and
click here for a
multimedia presentation on model-driven trading and the TradingMarkets Swing
Trading College.
Attention
Options Traders…
Make sure you read the Big Saturday
Interview with
Charles Cottle. In it, Charles gives you some aggressive trading ideas,
including the Slingshot Hedge. Charles used to work with former TM
contributer and Market Wizard
Tony Saliba. There is risk in options trading…be careful.
NYSE Proposed New Hours
By now you’ve heard that the NYSE is considering
extending its hours. At first, they seemed to be toying with the idea of opening
two hours earlier, but now it seems a one-hour-earlier opening is the more
likely scenario if any change actually does happen. Any change in
hours must be approved by the NYSE board and the SEC and probably would not take
place until April or May. Til then, no need to change that alarm clock! By the
way, if you want to voice your opinion on the proposal, here is the
NYSE
contact info, and here it is for the
SEC.
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.
So come on by, we’ll
see you in
TradersWire on Monday!
