ASX Weekly Turnkey Strategy

The team has been working on a few new strategies that may be included in our Turnkey Strategy lineup. Feedback has suggested weekly strategies tend to be popular because of their minimal workload. To this end, we’ve been working on a weekly swing strategy that buys a dip after a jump in volatility. Trades are placed on […]

Short Term Swing Strategy

In the past I have discussed where to source trading ideas, namely HERE. Recently a short term mean reversion strategy came across my desk (interestingly it bears a striking resemblance to the short term systems I have discussed over the last 10-years. Go figure…) This is a Stochastic strategy that appears on Trading With Rayner […]

Analyst Coverage and Stock Trends

Analyst Coverage and Stock Trends by Nick Radge of The Chartist. A phenomenon I noticed back in the late 90’s while trading futures, was that smaller stock index futures, such the Russell-2000, tended to trend much better than larger stock index futures, such as the S&P 500. This got me thinking; perhaps more heavily institutionalised […]

Difficult 6-months in the Markets

It’s been a very difficult 6-months in the markets, at least for me. After a record 2020, and a strong 2021, a slap across the face by Mr Market was needed to remind me to be respectful and remain humble. It’s happened before. For many however, dealing with drawdowns, either deep or extended, can be […]

Starting a Fund

I’ve decided to start a fund, but more on that below. For now though, lets take a look at the following chart of the Australian stock market. According to many experts it’s returned 0% since 2007. Some suggest it’s one of the worst performing markets globally. But any expert that tells you that is completely […]

Trading A-B-C Patterns

Trading A-B-C patterns? It’s a 3-wave counter trend move normally associated with Elliott Wave analysis, but essentially it’s a healthy pause. Many trend trading techniques rely on a breakout of price, that is, price continuing to move in the direction of the trend with uninterrupted momentum. However, price tends to ebb and flow, back and […]

Ebbs and Flows of Trading

Everything ebbs and flows. Everything. The weather. Our moods. Politics. The stock market. And our trading accounts. Over the last few years I have got into the habit of reporting my own performance at various intervals. 2020 was a record year in my career. 2021 was also very good to me as well. 2022…well, ebb […]

Experiencing Drawdowns

Markets are extremely volatile at the moment and are expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. If you missed my market commentary from last week you can watch the video here. Many strategies are experiencing drawdowns in this environment. While these are never comfortable, they are an integral part of the trading process. I strongly […]

Stock Market Update and Charts by Nick Radge 13 May 2022

It’s time for a stock market update by Nick Radge given the turbulent week we have had. In Australia, we have an election in a week’s time. Around the world we have the war in Ukraine, supply chain issues due to Covid 19 lockdowns in China and escalating inflation figures (including in Australia). Let’s see […]

Why You Need This Strategy

The S&P 500 is having its worst start to the year since 1988, currently -10% as at today’s close. The decline is greater than seen in 2008 and during the COVID collapse of 2020. The following real-time equity chart, whilst quite ugly, shows my personal day trade strategy which, year-to-date, is +29.94%. The irony here […]
