How a Technical View Paid Off in 2010 at Advanced Market Timing Experts Workshop 2011

Jan. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Technical analysis, in general, is based on the belief that stock prices move in predictable patterns – an assumption that is debatable but provides enough empirical evidence to inspire many investors to trade solely on technical indicators, says The Globe and Mail’ Skot Kortje. The most important indicators employed in technical analysis, including long-term parameters (average prices for periods of 13 weeks and 40 weeks), price momentum and volume measurements over a three-month period, will be covered in great detail at Golden Networking’s Advanced Market Timing Experts Workshop 2011, "Master Market Timing with the Leading Technical Analyst" (http://www.AdvancedMarketTiming.com), March 21 & 22, Singapore, and March 24 & 25, Hong Kong.
As a result of how indicators are calculated, these trading signals lag market movements. Some investors may find buying a stock that has already risen, say 30 per cent, to be a late call. However, technical analysis can still point to opportunities because the price momentum and trend characteristics of a stock – even a stock that has already advanced 30 per cent – often support a rally to even higher levels. Last year was a good year for technical trend traders, and it shows in the results of some of the trades featured by Kortje in his Stock Trends’ column. There were 46 stocks profiled in his column in 2010, although 17 trades were closed out by unfavorable midyear moves.
Many of the stocks profiled by Kortje in the second half of the year were chosen because of technical signs that price resistance levels would give way to the sector trends identified in the column. Generally, the objective of these trades was a modest 10- to 15-per-cent upside. However, some trades were expected to deliver more. And they did. There are still 27 “buy” stocks profiled in 2010 that remain as open trades. Most have been profitable. The average return on these trades is about 18 per cent after transaction costs.
