Are You Frustrated With Your Trading?
The Dynamic Wealth Report

This last weekend brought back some great memories. Do you remember the
days of trick or treating when you were a kid? Roaming the streets on
Halloween in some ridiculous costume. Of course, you thought it was the
coolest thing ever.
I loved dressing up as a “Ghost Buster”.
Dork you say? Yeah, I know. My wife reminds me all the time.
The memories are quite vivid. My friends and I went house to house in a
never ending quest for candy. Ending the night, we would poor our loot
on the kitchen floor. Every candy imaginable was there!
Instead of sticking with just one or two of my favorite candies, I
devoured them all. They all had such huge promise. I couldn’t pass one
by without giving it a try. The following days would be a blur of sugar
highs and an upset stomach.
Just like Halloween candy, there are many technical indicators with huge
promise…
The technical indicators traders use number in the hundreds. There’s
practically an indicator for everything. There’s a measure for momentum,
trendiness, money flow, relative strength, and the list goes on and on.

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?
Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a
way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout. And
the timing for this has never been better.
You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that
sends penny stock prices through the roof.
We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time
flat.

We also have tools like pitchforks, Fibonacci numbers, oscillators,
bands, and waves, just to name a few.
Each indicator on its own serves a purpose and can assist you in your
trading.
But many traders think they have to use multiple indicators. Some
traders use 5, 10 or more! By adding multiple indicators, they think they
can get absolute confirmation of their trades. They think there’s a
“magic mixture” of multiple indicators guaranteeing them profits.
They use so many indicators that their computer screens look as if they’re
about to launch the space shuttle into orbit.
The truth is they want the indicators to give them certainty in their
trades.
Mark Douglas, the great trading author said it perfectly, “most traders
look for certainty where there is none.”
Using multiple indicators can lead to trading confusion…
Do you have a hard time pulling the trigger when you enter trades? It
could be that you’re looking at too many indicators. By using multiple
indicators in trying to confirm a perfect trade, you’ll end with what’s
called “Paralysis by Analysis”.
This is a common problem with a lot of traders.
You bog yourself down in technical analysis. You become confused. You
get frustrated. You just can’t seem to make up your mind when to enter a
trade.
The bottom line is, no amount of analysis (technical or fundamental)
will give you 100% certainty in your trading. It’s not possible.
Here’s the key to using technical analysis effectively…
Use technical analysis as simply as possible.
There’s an old adage that goes something like this… ”Keep it simple, stupid!”
Use one or two indicators MAX. And learn to use them really well. Once
you get comfortable with these indicators, you’ll start seeing better
signals. Your trading will improve.
You’ll eventually get to where you have an edge.
Once you have an edge, exploit it over and over and over again. Control
your downside risk and let your profits run as far as possible.
Successful trading is that simple.
Technical analysis is a great way to find low risk trading ideas with
high reward. If you use it correctly, technical analysis can greatly
assist you in reaching your trading goals.
Technical analysis has some great tools. Use them in your trading. But
realize the limitations and don’t let too much information confuse you. It can give a short term sugar high but leave you with an upset stomach.
• Gold (Over $1,090 an ounce)
The Central Bank of India announced it bought 200 tons of Gold from the
International Monetary Fund. Many analysts were shocked that a central
bank would buy gold at record highs. The news is pushing gold up
further, as other central banks are poised to diversify foreign-exchange
reserves into gold.
