Power Trading Radio - A Trader's Perspective On Investing In Stocks, Futures, Forex, Options Podcast

Merlin interviews Steve Bobbitt, long time futures trader, who is in Atlanta teaching a TradeStation Platform Immersion class. The duo talk about their favorite functions of the software and how to use them. Later, Steve shares with listeners how he uses multiple markets to help navigate these extremely volatile times. Professional traders should look for areas where volatility is not as problematic, thus providing less whipsaws and more consistent trading results. Steve also talks about he uses relative strength to help him find the best markets and prime trading opportunities.

A slurry of brewing headlines have the markets jittery, and poised for some big moves. Japanese unemployment & Intervention, Europe debt worries, and Dollar strength tops the list of market moving headlines which Merlin Rothfeld and Mike McMahon try to break down into their specific market moving parts.  The duo looks at each currency with a technical perspective as well as a fundamental one to give insight into where they see the currencies headed.

The post Thanksgiving festivities continue, as the financial markets posted significant gains on the heels of European optimism, as well as robust retail sales numbers. One has to wonder if the retail numbers were not skewed by loss leader prices at many retailers. Tillie Allison joins the show to talk about market timing and sector rotation as it applies to current markets. Tillie talks about how active traders need to apply a solid, proven strategy to their trading. In her case, she is using a bear market strategy currently.

Merlin Rothfeld and John O’Donnell break down some of the bigger pressing market issues on this weekend edition show. Rising food costs, Manufacturing slowdowns, European debt crisis and many other topics are covered all with an emphasis on building a strategy for the coming move. Which every way you think the markets will go, you need to have your road map drawn out in advance! Happy Thanksgiving!

Merlin starts things off by looking at a misconception of securities being Undervalued, and the danger they pose. By looking for proper supply and demand zones, traders can get past urges to buy just based off of perceived value. Sam Seiden talks about how these levels are determined, but reiterates that there are 11 odds enhancers that are only taught to his students at Online Trading Academy. PowerPick: MASI

Back from the Las Vegas Traders Expo, Merlin recaps the first day of the shortened thanksgiving trading week. With few domestic highlights moving the markets, traders looked to the fragile European markets for guidance, bringing the US equity markets down. Scot McCormick, CMT, joins the show to share some of his technical analysis knowledge with listeners, diving into one of his favorite tools Fibonacci. Scott looks at the S&P 500 from an Impulse/Correction perspective and ties that into current Fibonacci levels to give us an indication as to where markets are headed. PowerPick: EURUSD

Having repeatedly addressed the problems with our political parties in Washington,  especially their exemption from rules regarding trading, Merlin celebrates the new 60 Minutes special covering the same topic. With self interested politicians passing laws (or blocking them!) just to benefit their personal trading accounts, we will never see America return to Prosperity. John Barrett joins the show to give his thoughts on the problem, and a possible remedy. Later, the two talk about John’s transition to trading Futures intraday, something he has never done before.

John O’Donnell and Merlin Rothfeld recap the market activity for the week and look at some of the major headlines moving the world.

One of the most frequent complaints from traders is how lonely trading can be, and that you must learn on your own. Joann Farley was one of these traders when she started, then gravitated to the education and community feeling of Online Trading Academy. In that past few years, Joann has been instrumental in the development of the XLT (Extended Learning Track), which is an online community of hundreds of traders all with the same core strategy and methodology. Joann shares her progress as a trader and describes how she and the other XLT instructors are working to change the financial futures of many others.
