It needs to be 2500 words so there should be a reasonable amount of information available. I initially thought of a question of ‘Is there more regulation required in the Commodity Trading sector’?. However this is not a very interesting sub heading for me to research. Any suggestions?

Sound a fine heading in current environment.
Will electronic trading replace Open outcry?
Are Commodity prices manipulated by Traders or Governments? Silvers long thought to have been.
Commodity prices and why history repeats itself.
Commodity Bubbles. Is Gold the new Oil bubble?
or Billionaires from Commodity trading, there’s a few.
Could think of loads more but .. the above might not fit.

Does Daytrading pattern rule apply to Index Futures Trading?

I don’t know what “daytrading pattern rule” is. can you explain?

Technical analysis of the stock market, or any other market such as Forex, Bonds, Futures, is how most traders and investors make their trading decisions. This is as opposed to fundamental analysis which most people more agree is pretty much done as a way of making trading decisions, unless of course you are Warren Buffet!.

You only have to think back to recent Stock Market scams like Enron to know that it is almost impossible for the average, and even very sophisticated fund manager or hedge fund trader to really know what the real financial state of a company is.

Just by reading the balance sheet and other quarterly reports they release gives you a very limited insight into the real health of the company. Whereas the technical analysis charts of the company tend to give the real picture of what the market thinks of the value of the company. In the case of Enron even simple technical analysis told you to SELL when the stock was in the $80-90 range, this is why technical analysis of stocks is so popular.

So what is the secret to technical analysis?, I’m about to tell you, here are my golden rules:

* Only use 3-5 simple technical analysis indicators

* Make sure that you understand how the indicators that you have selected work, what the parameter settings are and in what market conditions they are effective

* After selecting your indicators and parameter settings don’t mess with them.

The real secret to technical analysis is to become VERY familiar with your choosen indicators, and really this can only be done by watching and studying the market, so that you get to the point that you TRUST them.

The fact is that in any market, for each bar period, there are only 5 pieces of information, the open, close, high, low and volume, yet there are now hundreds of indicators. Most of these indicators are displaying the same information and so are redundant.

For the record my set of indicators are:

* 4 Simple Moving Averages

* Bollinger Bands

* MACD

* Stochastics

But the way I use them is quite special, to learn more about how to become an expert at technical analysis visit:
