"An important factor to take into consideration is the strong floor of support that the S&P has at 2040. Garner thinks that as long as the market stays above this floor of support, we are good to go." ~ Jim Cramer

Use market correlations to better your odds in trading
Click here to read about inter-market relationships!
Last month, we initiated the discussion of inter-market relationships focusing on the currency market’s influence over commodity prices (if you missed it, you will find it here. Let’s turn our attention to the relationships that exist between various asset classes; some of the conclusions from data will likely go against conventional wisdom.
Stocks and bonds can go up and down together
The oldest adage in the finance industry is, “Stocks up, bonds down”. The quip stems from conventional theory suggesting there are two primary investment vehicles available to the main-stream investor, stocks and bonds. In essence, these two asset classes are assumed to be fighting for the same limited amount of investment dollars. Accordingly, if one is in favor, the other is out of favor, and vice versa. Thus, many assume that if the stock market is going up, investors are selling their Treasury holdings to purchase stocks. Therefore, Treasury bonds should head lower when stocks are moving higher.
The aforementioned theory hasn’t necessarily been in play in recent years. There are several explanations that attempt to describe the disconnect from history, but here are the two that stick out in our minds:

Use inter-market relationships to better your odds in trading
Click here to read about inter-market relationships!
It is naive to assume that seemingly unrelated markets move independent of each other. The financial and commodity markets are littered with relationships that might be helpful for those attempting to speculate on price changes. Further, simply assuming that the historical relationship you once read about in college textbooks is consistently valid is a mistake. At the hands of government intervention, the relationship between many markets has morphed into something unrecognizable to seasoned traders.
Why seemingly unrelated assets are tied together
FOREX traders are familiar with the concept of trading assets in pairs, but the majority of traders don’t necessarily think of asset transactions as pairs trading. However, perhaps they should. Every transaction we make in the financial markets, or in daily life, involves two assets.
It is only possible to purchase a security, or an item, by giving up something else. Further, the item being purchased only has value relative to the asset being forfeited. For example, when you buy a loaf of bread at the grocery store you agree to “sell” dollars to acquire bread. In other words, you are buying bread and selling dollars. The store, on the other hand, is selling bread and “buying” dollars. Keep in mind that we have no way of measuring the value of a loaf of bread without comparing it to the dollar, or some other currency.
In review, when speculators buy a commodity they are essentially selling the dollar to acquire the asset. Accordingly, changes in currency pricing can, and do, have a significant impact on other asset values. Nonetheless, there are an infinite number of other factors determining the market price of an asset; unfortunately, it isn’t as simple as assuming a higher greenback will automatically force all dollar-denominated assets lower but it is definitely something to keep tabs on.

Day Trading Tips and Tricks with Barchart Trader

What: Webinar
When: Wednesday January 21st @ 4:30 Eastern
How: Click here to register for this event
Traders are often attracted to the allure of day trading. After all, closing positions at the end of the day provides small accounts access to leveraged markets with very little cash on hand. In addition, day traders have the luxury of knowing catastrophic events occurring while they are sleeping will have no impact on the value of their trading account. However, these luxuries come with strings and day trading is arguably one of the most difficult strategies to employ successfully... but with challenge comes potential reward. Accordingly, before choosing day trading as your weapon of choice, you must fully understand the potential pitfalls and have a keen understanding of market tendencies. Join us for a discussion on the do's and don'ts of day trading in which the following topics are discussed:
• Mental aspects of day trading
• Day trading margin
• Always use stops?
• Be aware of market volatility and know the consequences
• Position sizing
• Price averaging
• Day trader's toolbox
• Counter-trend or trend-following?
• Considering commission
• Common trader pitfalls
