Lumber: Big Price Trend Shifts Can Be Detected Early

All Trades shown are Hypothetical. Please read Disclaimer on this website.

                  The Longer The Time Period Of The Trend,                      The Stronger The Change When It Happens.

Perhaps the strongest Bull Market of late has not been in the Stock Market, but, in the Lumber Market where prices have gone 'crazy'.

Could this have been foreseen in advance? 

Yes, it could. If one were using an extremely long-term price chart like that shown above, and used some well-tested and accurate analysis tools, then, yes, one could have anticipated way back in June, that a new trend was underway and, that, because of it's long-term momentum, this would very likely be a strong Bull Market for Lumber prices.

                 If You're A Position Trader, Then, You Must Look At  Long-term Price Charts For Clues To Coming Events.

NOTE: The steepness of this rise in prices is unsustainable, so, a reversal in price trend from this upsurge will be just as quick and needs to be carefully watched for at shorter time intervals.

The techniques for closely tracking markets like these are part of our Trader's Collection. If you wish to be a survivor and not just a speculator, you need to add these skills to your trader's toolbox.

GOLD: Let’s Take A Closer Look

All Trades shown are Hypothetical. Please read Disclaimer on this website.

Gold Is Sitting On A Price Shelf And Weak At This Moment

Building on what we posted yesterday, let's zoom in and look at the price structure for Gold today.

The first thing I want you to notice is that the red horizontal line shown on the above chart is not a random 'lowest-low' choice. That wouldn't be enough to warrant a call on a change in price trend direction.

However, this very same price zone represents the break-away point for the price gap that occurred on the way up in price for Gold as well, and, this means that heavy orders are placed at this price area to counter-act those that got institutions Long on the way upwards.

And, what's important to these big players is also important for us as traders and investors.

                Watch For Price Closes & Bar Ranges That Go                            Above Or Below These Lines . . .

GOLD will signal either it's weakness or it's strength by allowing prices to significantly pass through these two price areas.

In order to re-assert it's longer-term up trend, prices must Close and have most of their bar ranges above the green dotted line shown. Even that won't guarantee a new upsurge until the same happens with the absolute top price as well.

At present, price is closer to the red horizontal price line than the green one.

Watch to see if this remains the case over time as price action must weaken in order to break below and start a new downtrend in prices.

Once again, Be Aware of this downside price possibility as no one else is warning about this at the moment. - Good Trading. - George

“Heard a Lot About GOLD Lately? Beware!”

​All Trades shown are Hypothetical. Please read Disclaimer on this website.

​Too Many Voices All Saying The Same Thing is the Tip-off

​When all the same 'experts' who have historically been wrong over the years all come into agreement about a market, WATCH OUT!

​This is what's happening right now in the GOLD & Silver Markets.

​​The Second Step: Let's See What The Price Chart Tells Us . . .

​GOLD has made an impressive upswing over the last two months. Enough so, that it's gathered a lot of attention from the mass financial media and gold bug crowd.

​Of course, the gold bugs should be discounted as a reliable source about anything dealing with Gold as they've been bullish on the metal for the last 20-Years and more! A stopped clock is still accurate twice a day, and, so it can be with their eternal bullish stance. They had to be right sometime!

Back to our above chart; price has broken the monthly uptrend that was in progress and, although prices haven't broken the re-tracement percentage yet, Gold is poised at a price point that bears watching for . . . wait for it . . . a Downswing in prices, not an upswing.

Watch the red downwards arrow. If prices go back up and close above the red line, then, you can breathe a little easier if you're long Gold. However, Watch out if we break the lows of the last two weeks. There's room for more downside price movement if that occurs.​

Be Aware of this downside price possibility as no one else is warning about this at the moment. - Good Trading. - George

Euro Summer Trends & Seasonal Expectations . . .

It's easy to be lulled to sleep by the Stock Market during the Summer months as it's price action is historically lazy to match the seasonal heat. However, there is historical action to be found elsewhere during the Summer doldrums.

​Observe, if you will, the EURO/USD forex trading environment. It turns out that just as the other markets go to sleep in July, the Euro picks up Volatility at just this time period and ramps it up going towards the Fall. The chart below illustrates the historical Volatility for the Euro over the last 30-Years:

Headlines aside, this is 'normal' behavior for the Euro and should be incorporated into one's trading strategy.

Now, what about the Seasonal Price Trend? This is a different measurement and, this one is based on Price action over many years. First, we have to identify what a 'normal' pattern for the Euro looks like. For that, we draw upon another Seasonal Chart that will show how prices tend to trend (up or down) during each month of the year.

​On the chart above we see that it's normal for price to trend upwards  from June-July to the end of the Year. If prices so far have matched up with the 'normal' price behavior, then, we can be fairly sure that the coming months in this year will tend to repeat their familiar yearly patterns again. Let's take a look & see.

The chart above tells us that the expected lows of June & July have taken place. This indicates a very high likelihood of a 'normally' upwards-moving Euro over the Summer Months ahead.

​So, you see now that just because the Stock Market has lulled off to sleep, there's another market to pay close attention to during these Summer months ahead. Much Success. - ​ George

Canadian Dollar Parameters for Tomorrow . . .

​This post addresses the value of identifying both the Support and Resistance price areas for the Canadian Dollar vs. the US Dollar. Take note of the chart below for Today's range of price action:

The Support price area for the Canadian Dollar to watch over the next 24-hours is indicated by the red horizontal line on the chart that is below the present price at 1.3212. Price will have to Close below 1.3287 on an Hourly Close basis to indicate a new downtrend in prices is underway.

The Resistance price area to watch over the next 24-hours is indicated by the green horizontal line that is above the present price area. Price will have to Close above 1.3225 on an Hourly Close to indicate a new upwards trend in price.

A New Special Report has been released . . .

To See What Others Cannot . . .

​You Must Change Your Perspective!

​The View of the Crowd is just that . . . 'their' view.

That common viewpoint forms up the so-called 'consensus' view of what 'reality' is for a market at any particular point in time. Essentially, the majority of market participants (and, a large group of manipulators) get to vote on what's happening and what's 'real' in any particular market. But, . . .

​What's Really Happening Out There?

To be able to discern what the masses cannot, we have to remove ourselves from the charts, time-frames and techniques of the everyday investors. Otherwise, how can we come to an objective conclusion unless we 'change our perspective' and take in the longer-view to form our conclusions?

 This is ​equivalent to looking ​far down the railroad tracks to see if a train is coming or not! We can do the same with charts.

The First Step: Get A Longer Time Perspective.

​The first way we can accomplish this is to change the time frame for the price charts we're looking at. If you're an intra-day trader working the 5-minute bars, you have far too much company doing exactly the same thing. You should, instead, consider pulling outwards in Time to, at least, the Hourly level bar or candlestick charts. 3-Hours would be even better.

Plot the charts at these new and longer-time frames and step back to observe what can be seen.

As you can see with the above 5-minute vs. the 3-hour charts, the 3-hour chart gives one important information that is just not obtainable from the 5-minute perspective of the market.​

This new time perspective will place you in a different place of judgment from the place that your trading competitors are making their decisions from. This is the first step in your process of discovery.

The Second Step: Use Unique Trading Techniques.

Your Next Step is to use non-conventional and unique chart analysis techniques (like those exclusive trading methods provided to our Clients).

Just as one should look at different charts than most traders do, one should analyze these charts using tools that the masses will never have access to. Successful techniques that are unknown except to a very specific and exclusive Group; a Group who have put in the effort in Time & Money to become successful at levels above and beyond those of other average traders.

The Final Step: Use Risk-Management Techniques.

Apply Risk Management to each trade one decides on and you'll have the 3-Critical Keys to finding profitable markets and exceptional trading opportunities.

I've written extensively on this topic over the years on this site and others. This is the critical common element to ALL trading successes. Do Not Let Losses Run. Take your losses earlier, not later. They never grow smaller if you need them to! You Must Manage Risk for every trade.

​Individual Courses Will Soon Become Unavailable

In order to provide a more complete trading method selection experience, I'll be consolidating most of the individual Courses over the coming weeks into Specific Application Collections (for example: A 'Simple System Secrets Collection', 'Intra-day Trader's Collection', 'Inner Secrets Collection' (Master Course), 'Complete Writings Collection', etc..).

Once this is finalized, no further individual Courses will be sold; they'll only be sold as part of an appropriate Collection or Set. This means that prices will rise considerably, thereby limiting access to these methods even more in the months or years ahead. However, as these Courses are targeted towards Professional Traders and Qualified Investors, then, this should not prove a difficulty for these groups.

Please don't e-mail me for details on the Collections as they're not finalized as yet. I'll post to this website when more details are available.

These will be the final days to purchase the separate trading Courses as, once the Collections are set up, all individual courses sales will cease.  - George

It Was Close, But, We’ve Survived The Monster Hurricane O.K.

​First, let me express my gratitude to the readers and clients who sent me e-mails of concern and well-wishes preceding our encounter with this Category 5 monster Hurricane. Your thoughts and concerns were and are very much appreciated.

Thank you all so much.

We were most fortunate to have been spared major damage and to have our power and internet restored within a day, (if intermittently for the present). 

Our thoughts and concerns rest presently with our neighboring Caribbean Islanders who have suffered great losses and also for those still in the path of this destructive storm in the days immediately ahead. 

Lessons to be Drawn from this Experience

Having spent many decades slowly extracting the Laws of Nature that are at the bedrock of the Markets, it's particularly impressive when Mother Nature herself brings the lessons right to one's doorstep.

Such was the case with the monster Hurricane named IRMA which came as close to us as possible without wiping us off the island like it did to so many others in St. Thomas, Barbuda, Anguilla, Tortola, St. John and more.

The lesson of the fragility of our physical world has been driven home these last few days. Many more are about to learn that lesson as well it seems if this storm continues on it's course to the US Mainland. I was 'invited' by Mother Nature to give some deep thought to just what I may have to sacrifice and what little I could carry should evacuation become necessary. It's became a very sober and Human Moment of Contemplation of what is truly important.

What's truly valuable and what's not? Decades worth of Research notes, charts and courses? Important, yes, but, Life & Health wins out the argument as primary in importance every time. Fortunately, this time, no sacrifice was necessary for  the sake of survival. But, it gives one pause over what could have been lost.

My main goal for my courses has been to gradually ​introduce Principles; Laws of Nature and Mathematics that apply to the Natural World as well as the Market World. It's been my intent that these Principles be learned, absorbed or understood at the most fundamental level so that a trader or investor could stand on their own where ever they found themselves and know that their skill was intact and as portable as they were. I want to pass this knowledge on to the next generation, two or three. I've been fortunate in that most of the Course Knowledge has found it's way into the hands of a few good folks scattered very thinly around the World.

Knowledge which has been well-absorbed and internalized is all we can carry with us under some extreme conditions. This very same piece of Wisdom was immortalized in Ancient days and expressed within the Latin phrase 'Omnia mea mecum porto' (All that's mine, I carry with me.).

I hope that, you also, give this phrase some thought and gain appreciation for the skills you have and the relationships you hold dear. In the end, the material things dim before these greater things.

Thank you again for your support and well-wishes. I hope to reply to all e-mails in the next day or so. - George

We Take A Brief Pause Now for Hurricane Irma . . .

There's ​likely to be an interruption of postings, e-mail and internet services over the next days as Hurricane Irma bears down on us here on the island of St. Croix.

​Anyone with an order already submitted will be given a downloadable version of their Course while awaiting for air-shipping services to resume over the next few days (hopefully). This will enable you to get started immediately while awaiting the printed version of the materials.

You should have these downloads by this afternoon. Hopefully, we'll be back online again soon. 

Best wishes to you all, George

Watch For A GOLD Market Breakout . . .

There's been a lot of talk lately about rising GOLD prices, however, my analysis indicates that we haven't quite crossed the necessary price threshold needed to enter a real Bull Market in GOLD.

The important price resistance barrier to keep our eyes on is the one at $1336. 

​GOLD has been in a sideways channel since March and, only broke out to the upside this last week. A lasting momentum will be confirmed with a Closing price for Spot GOLD at $1336 or Higher. - George
